A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial stone property for renovation/conversion on the ramparts of the popular and very pretty bastide village of Beauville in Lot et Garonne.
The property is currently run as the village restaurant, but the owners wish to sell the property and few people are in a position to continue this business. Therefore, what could YOU do do with this most spacious (some 350+m2) property?
It would make a large family home, on the raparts of the village with superb views, and large sunny terraces. It could be converted into a boutique hotel. A mixture of family home plus B&B would seem an ideal set up.
Currently the property offers: large fully equipped bar and dining room (approx 60m2), main dining room (approx 55m2) giving out to sunny terrace with views, seminar room. Cafe tables under arcades to front. Fully equipped professional kitchen. Cellars.
Revisited, you could create a spacious living room, a separate dining room, study and large kitchen. The first floor of the building but did have 4 doubles, 3 triple bedrooms with views and an owners 2 bed flat. In need of full renovation to provide 4-6 bedroom suites, or even more if B&B is being considered.
The department of Lot et Garonne in Aquitaine has many small yet lively villages and this department in the south of France is a real find for both nature and culture lovers.
One of Lot et Garonne's assets are the views afforded by the properties over the Garonne or the Lot lush countryside with woodland and lots of leisure activities. The residents have invested well with most of them living in detached houses that are their principal residences. There are however lots of holiday or second homes to choose from.
Compared to the more expensive Perigord or Gers, the Lot et Garonne still holds some bargain French property buys. Perhaps a village home or a traditional stone house in a green environment is what you are looking for, if so, this area is the perfect place to invest in a second home.
Stripping out the usual fluctuations, the housing market in the region has been steadier than most. Long term investments may offer a good return in the future as the Lot-et-Garonne is increasingly appealing amongst foreign purchasers, just like the whole of the region of Aquitaine.
