9 Bed House for sale in Languedoc-Roussillon, France

Located down a quiet lane and surrounded by fields yet just 1.5km from the beach at Argelès North (a nature reserve) and 1km from the shops, bars and restaurants of Argelès Plage, this is an extremely interesting property that offers a number of opportunities.

A former Seigneurie (nobleman's house) dating from the 17th Century, located right nextdoor to a 12th Century defensive tower; the site is protected and no construction is allowed within 500 metres.

The property has been fully renovated to offer five separate accommodation units: a 3 bedroom "owners" unit (could be transformed into 2 x 2 bedroom flats), 2 x 2 bed units and 2 x 1 bed units (one with a mezzanine sleeping area in addition to the double bedroom). All units have inter-connecting doors (currently blocked) which could be opened-up to achieve one large house.

The property oozes charm, being surrounded by a well planted terrace with seating areas to the front and a garden to the side in which there is ample room to add a swimming pool. Each of the accommodation units has been renovated with taste, respecting the traditional features while implementing modern conveniences. The walls are made from locally-sourced river stones and measure up to 1.3 metres thick in places, while many of the timbers have been exposed to add to the character of the property.

The units measure the following:

1 x 3 bed - 145 m2
2 x 2 bed - 60 m2 (each)
2 x 1 bed - 40 m2 (each)

Total - 345m2

All units share a separate laundry room with five separate hot water tanks, water meters and electricity meters plus plumbing for five washing machines. In addition there is a lean-to bicycle storage area. Outside there is a shared parking area next to the imposing tower.

If rented out on a seasonal basis (weekly lets) the property has the potential to achieve approximately 100,000Euro per annum in its current configuration. More proactive marketing to extend the rental season would improve these figures.

Overall a unique property in excellent state, enviable position and offering a wealth of opportunities to the next owner.
