Prestigious Gite Complex with Pool

Prestigious Gite Complex with Pool
Location: Nr. quistinic, Quistinic, Brittany, 56300

The ultimate lifestyle opportunity - fantastic Award winning hamlet comprising of three Thatched 17th Century Cottages, three further properties, heated swimming pool with retractable roof, all set in a gorgeous rural idyll, yet several minutes to all amenities and less than thirty minutes to the beautiful coastal beaches.

The Gites consistently have occupancy levels of 50-60 weeks per year (i.e. 25-30 weeks per cottage) and this income, based on two letting properties, is mainly due to the quality of the accommodation and the holiday experience provided, but is also aided by the benefit of extended seasons, in part due to the large (12x6m) heated swimming pool with retractable telescopic cover, enabling year-round use even in inclement weather.

Lovingly restored and maintained to a high standard by professional artisans.

The cottages have each been awarded '4 star' status by the local tourist board (Lorient) and '4 keys' (cles) by the national holiday company Clevacances.

The current owners occupy one of the thatched cottages but with some minor reconfiguration of the properties, this could be made available as a third income producing asset, thus increasing the present income levels to achieve in excess of €100,000 p.a.

Although nestling in a tranquil rural setting, the hamlet is only 3km from the nearest village bakery & pharmacy, 6km from the nearest supermarket and 12km from the market town of Baud which has all the amenities one would expect, such as shops, supermarkets, bar/cafes and restaurants. The larger towns of Lorient and Pontivy are easily accessible as are the picturesque and historic towns of Vannes and Josselin. The beach resorts of Guidel Plage and L'Armor Plage, for example, are within a 30 minute drive.
