Full Description:
Situated just 15 short minutes walk from the shops, restaurants and bars of Perpignan town centre are the fabulous gardens of St Jacques; this large area of land between Perpignan and the Mediterranean is protected and reserved for use as a market garden, supporting numerous small farmers who grow a variety of vines, fruit and vegetables (often organic) plus a smattering of equestrian activities – it is the countryside but right next to the town centre. Very few private properties are fortunate enough to be located in the gardens however one of the very nicest has just come on the market.
With excellent potential to be run as a very successful holiday letting business this property offers numerous possibilities to an investor looking for a lovely home with excellent money making potential. Consisting a main house plus three rental units this Gites business would enjoy a much longer season than others in the area as it is able to tap in to the thriving rugby match market (accommodating supporters of the away teams) in addition to visitors/exhibitors at the nearby exhibition centre and those attending art courses etc all of which take place throughout the year.
The property itself is a former farmhouse with associated outbuildings dating from around 1850, all this is set in well established gardens whose areas of lawn are naturally divided to create a number of private seating/playing areas; thanks to the countryside location the property is not at all overlooked or encumbered by noisy neighbours. The buildings are comprised as follows:
Main Farmhouse / Mas:
Fronted by a wide terrace that gives on to the garden, there is direct access to all three of the ground floor rooms: lounge with open fireplace, dining room and farmhouse-style eat-in kitchen with separate larder. There are exposed beams and original terracotta floor tiles throughout. A staircase leads up to the first floor where there are four double bedrooms (three of which have great views overlooking the garden) and three bathrooms; the presence of partition walls allows for much scope for rearranging the layout upstairs should the next owners wish to make the bathrooms ensuite to every bedroom. Currently closed off, there are doors on both the ground and first floors through to the next door property described below.
Gite 1:
Fronting on to its own terrace area, the main entrance leads into an open plan lounge / dining room with corner kitchenette and wooden floors throughout. Windows give on to the terrace at the front and farmland to the rear. A corridor leads down to the master bedroom (double), second bedroom (double), family bathroom and separate WC. In excellent condition as it stands there is the possibility to extend this Gite either upwards (two further bedrooms and a bathroom) or to the side into the next door property described below.
Workshop:
Offering around 50m2 of space this building is currently used as a workshop however it is sufficiently large to become a stand-alone rental unit (with a double bedroom on the mezzanine) or added onto the existing Gite next door to make one much larger unit. Behind the workshop is an enclosed area housing the oil-fired central heating system, oil storage tank and two washing machines, this then opens out to a laundry drying area.
Gite 2:
Occupying the whole of the second floor of the Mas this Gite is full of character with a very spacious feel. Fully insulated and renovated with quality materials and care this Gite offers a large open-plan lounge / dining area and kitchen plus two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The Gite is accessed via its own external staircase at the foot of which is a private terrace and eating area.
Gite 3:
Completely separate from the other houses this wooden chalet is set in its own large garden and is completely private. Offering nearly 50m2 of living space the building is very well insulated while offering light and comfortable accommodation. Approached across a wooden decked terrace, double French doors open onto the open-plan lounge, dining area and full kitchen; to the rear there is a double bedroom, family shower room and single bedroom fitted with bunk beds. Although officially a temporary structure this chalet would make a comfortable year-round home. The chalet has its own driveway and parking area.
Gardens:
Meticulous care has been taken over the years to plant a wide variety of trees, shrubs, bushes, flowers and palms to create a most wonderful garden with numerous nooks and crannies to explore. A central feature of the garden is the fabulous swimming pool – fully enclosed (as required by law) the pool measures 15 metres by 7 metres and is 2.5 metres at its deepest; this is surrounded by a wide terrace half of which is paved, the other half timber decking. To one corner is a brick-built summer kitchen, bar and seating area with plumbing, electricity etc.
Other:
The property is approached via electric gates that lead on to a wide parking area with sufficient places for up to five cars.
Summary:
An extremely rare property in an excellent state of repair and fantastic location. It would make a lovely private home for a large family however its business potential as a home with Gites should not be overlooked as it is easily capable of generating more than an 8% return on investment – outstanding in this market.
