Maison Numero Neuf A unique opportunity to acquire this successful
Chambres d'Hotes/table d'Hote business, situated in a characterful Maison de Maitre, dating from the French Revolution. The former residence of the Marquis de Valady was built in between the 12th century and the 14th century walls that
encircled the town. The house is full of period features such as marble
and wood fireplaces, oak and chestnut parquet floors, granite and
original tiled floors, ceiling cornices and friezes, chestnut panelling and
cast iron radiators.
The large south and west facing garden and courtyard are fully
enclosed, and very private, featuring a sunny terrace for dining.
The barn is structurally solid and contains a small cottage for renovation,
5 rental garages and a private garage, and lots of storage/workshop
space. It also has great potential for conversion into extra bedrooms or
gite accommodation.
The business, based on a range of 5 flexible bedrooms, attracts a wide
range of clients from Pilgrims en-route to Santiago de Compostella and
business travellers to tourists looking for a luxurious holiday. The
business can generate over 10000 euros income per month, and is
listed in many guides including Alistair Sawday's Special Places to stay.
The property is situated in a quiet road in the centre of the medieval
town of La Souterraine, an economic and tourist centre for the region of
La Creuse, and the gateway for the French lake district of Limousin,
with an array of shops, bars and restaurants.
The town has nursery, primary, and secondary schools, and a highly
acclaimed art college. It is close to the European axis of the A20 N145
junction, and is 40 minutes drive from Limoges international airport. The
railway station has direct trains to Paris (2.5 hours), and Bordeaux. The
area is enjoying a period of sustained growth, both economically and in
tourist numbers. La Souterraine is at the heart of this growth, with the
development of facilities such as the Centre Cultural, which hosts many
events including 'Jazz a La Sout' and concerts by La Souterraines' own
Philharmonic Orchestra, and Cirque Valdi, which attracts thousands of
visitors each year. The region is known for its unspoilt countryside, and
many of its most outstanding parts, such as Crozant, Les Trois Lacs,
and Lac de Vassiviere, are in easy reach of La Souterraine. For further information, contact Duncan or Lisa on 00 33 (0)5 55 63 43 35 or see www.maisonnumeroneuf.com
