Property description

Situated in a stunning part of the Pyrenees, just on the northern foothills, Les Cabannes, where this house and businesses are situated, is a thriving village of about 350 people. Les Cabannes is the central village for several more rural hamlets, and therfore has many amenities for its small size, including a small local school, 2 convenience shops, a pharmacy, 2 restaurants, a boulangerie and a pub. It also has a local outdoor pool and crazy golf course, used by a holiday village on the outskirts of the village, during the summer.

Les Cabannes has the advantage of being in the mountains with fantastic access to activities such as walking and skiing, but also only 90mins drive from Toulouse and Carcassonne, meaning that it is a great location for tourists and weekend visitors.

The nearest town is Tarascon sur Ariege, a 10 minute drive away, with its many amenities including cinema, supermarket etc. Also nearby is the spa town of Ax, with its downhill ski station, and Foix, a mediaeval city steeped in history. The plateau de Beille, a famous Tour de France moutain that has a cross country ski station at its summit, rises up directly from Les Cabannes.

The house for sale has 3 bedrooms and a large private garden and driveway (plus separate garage).

The living space is currently on the first floor, and is open plan, with a lounge/diner and kitchen from which there are stairs up to a mezzanine level with 2 further rooms.
The main bedroom with ensuite bathroom and dressing room leads off the living room. A corridor from the living room also leads to 2 further double bedrooms and another bathroom.

The ground floor of the property, accessed direct from the garden, is ripe for conversion, as it is currently a workshop/storage space. The house is in a good state of repair as the current owner is a builder/plasterer and has done work on the house to a high standard.

The garden is large, and the views from the first floor balcony/terrace look towards the mountains and the Plateau de Beille. The garden has been well developed in terms of both its veggie patch and flower beds, as the current owners are keen gardeners.

Although the owners would prefer to sell the house/garden with the following businesses, they are also open to the option of selling the house/garden for 300,000 Euros and then separately selling the apartments described below.

Business 1: With the house, are sold 5 apartments that are rented out to holiday makers (French, Spanish and English). The apartments are in an attractive building on the Rue principale in the village, and have all been recently renovated to a high standard. They include the following:

The apartments have regular return business each year with high seasons being Christmas and New Year, February (when the French take their winter holidays), Easter, and then in July and August.
