Description
Situated on the popular Balcon des Pyrénées walking route, the property enjoys a unique 180-degree view of the Pyrenean mountain range and the Garonne Valley. A historic pathway winds down through a natural forest to the medieval cité of Rieux-Volvestre. The surrounding region, Les Volvestres, is an up-and-coming area with excellent modern infrastructure.
The property is currently divided into four separate, independent dwellings, making it highly attractive for investors. Rental income can be generated through both short and long-term lets, and the house is especially popular with pilgrims walking the Via Garonna, part of the Compostela pilgrimage route.
The current owners earn approximately €15,000 per annum from short-term summer holiday lets, and there is scope to increase this through a range of additional uses including courses, retreats, or seminars. The property is often used for wedding parties selecting the nearby Rieux Cathedral and Château de Palays. Both the garden and the house regularly host concerts, with four to five performances per year.
A separate large farm workshop, equipped with three-phase electrics and water, offers further income potential through rental or other uses (conversion would be subject to the necessary permissions).
The surrounding 27 hectares include pristine forest and arable land, currently generating earnings from hay, lucerne or other crops and livestock.
