 Outside there are three storage rooms which currently process the fruit
from the orchard and/or hold farming equipment. In addition there is a
stable for 2/3 ponies with a fenced-off external area. To the southern
aspect of the property there is a secure swimming pool and pool house
with summer kitchen area dedicated to the use of guests – a large
terrace surrounds the pool while a Boules court and games area flank
each side. Access from the very quiet road is via electric gates which
lead on to a large parking and turning area with space for 10-12
vehicles. The property benefits an independent electrical generator
plus a high-pressure bore hole providing a huge amount of water to the
property and orchard (fully automatically irrigated).
The fruit business is dedicated to a rare but popular type of fig –
these are all sold by the current proprietors to local sources and
generate a net revenue of approximately 15,000€ before tax; the farm
equipment is included in the sale. Overall the property currently
generates at net profit of around 31,000€ per annum (55,000€ gross)
however this is done as a rather low-key operation that could be
seriously bolstered with the right mix of marketing.
To summarise. A well-located and turn-key Gites business in a
countryside setting just minutes from all amenities; the current owners
wish to retire and allow a fresh pair of hands to take over. This Gites business is very well located in the countryside just
outside of Rivesaltes village, 5 minutes drive from the airport and
motorway (sufficiently far that there is no noise) and 15 minutes to
the Mediterranean Sea.
Set within 2.5 hectares of orchards, the property currently comprises 5
separate apartments, an office, plus outbuildings. The apartments are
made up of:
2 x 1 bedroom, lounge, kitchen, bathroom, private terrace
2 x 2 bedrooms, lounge, kitchen, bathroom, private terrace
1 x 3 bedrooms, lounge, kitchen, bathroom, private terrace
There is scope to turn the office into a further 2 bedroom apartment while the main building can be extended by a further 36%
All the apartments have separate electrical supplies while they share a common gas central heating system.
