Champagne-Ardenne, Marne, Broyes, France

A46074MRH51 - In the wine-growing village of Broyes, a commune of around 350 inhabitants within the Champagne appellation area, this substantial character property is located just 10 minutes from Sézanne, where a wide range of shops and services can be found.
The property offers 293 m² of living space and includes six bedrooms, generous reception rooms, two kitchens and converted attic space. Its well-planned layout and spacious proportions make it equally suitable as a large family home or as an inviting second residence.
The house also benefits from several cellars, including a remarkable vaulted cellar, a genuine testimony to the character and history of the property.
Ready to move into, the house opens onto a courtyard and a landscaped garden enjoying open views across the surrounding vineyards and Champagne countryside. Several rooms also benefit from this uninterrupted outlook, which contributes greatly to the charm of the property.
An additional area of approximately 40 m², arranged over two levels, remains to be renovated and offers further potential for conversion.
The outbuildings are another important feature of the property. They include a workshop housed in a separate building within the garden, as well as a large adjoining barn currently used as a garage. Its impressive ceiling height offers a variety of possible uses or conversion opportunities, subject to technical feasibility and any necessary planning permissions.
Thanks to its generous proportions, six bedrooms, two kitchens, garden, outbuildings and further areas with development potential, this property lends itself to a variety of projects: a substantial family residence, a second home, or a tourism accommodation project, subject to the required permissions and adaptations.

Tourism appeal:
Broyes is a genuine wine-growing commune within the Champagne appellation, located in the heart of the Coteaux du Sézannais. The village has approximately 140 hectares of vineyards, predominantly planted with Chardonnay, and retains a particularly active wine-growing tradition.
This location offers an attractive setting for lovers of wine, heritage and nature. The Champagne Tourist Route provides opportunities to discover the vineyards, cellars and producers of the region. Wine tourism is also experiencing significant growth in France, with visitor numbers continuing to increase.
Seasonal rental opportunities in the village:
The current tourist accommodation available within the village remains limited and mainly consists of smaller-capacity properties. Thanks to its size and facilities, this property could therefore offer a distinctive position for a potential large seasonal rental or group accommodation project for visitors wishing to discover the Champagne vineyards.
A rare property thanks to its scale and versatility, offering the opportunity to enjoy life immediately in a village that is not simply located within the Champagne wine region, but actively participates in its production.
Furnished or unfurnished long-term rental:
A house of approximately 294 m² with six bedrooms is unusual within this small rural rental market, and there are very few directly comparable properties.
In Broyes, house rents are generally within a range of approximately €5.10/m² to €9.40/m².
