House and 8 gites in 8.5 hectares -..

Within walking distance of the hilltop bastide town of Monflanquin, a substantial and very sucessful gite complex. Comprising a 3 bedroom owners house, 8 further gites, a large swimming pool and 8.5 ha (21 acres) of gardens and grounds, the complex offers an opportunity to acquire both an excellent leisure business and comfortable countryside home

The Business

Generating in excess of 90 000 Euros pa (gross) over just 13 weeks of the year - and with scope to further enhance the income - the complex offers an unusually high return on capital employed. The existing business model and location ensure virtually full occupancy over the summer months, with potential to augment the catering side of the business and extend the booking period into the mid and lower seasons.
