The property is situated on the main road between Nozay and Chateaubriant (D771), 15km from the dual carriageway (N137) linking the cities of Nantes and Rennes, which are approximately 45 km away with their stations and airports. The port of St Malo is approximately 1h30 away, Caen 2h30 and Cherbourg 3h.

Exterior
The property is set back from the road and is accessed through double gates, with entry to a large parking area. The house has two enclosed gardens, one with a patio area for table and chairs. Outside of the main house, there are two extremely large south facing barns, one with a large covered area used for barbecues and large group meals, as well as four other covered areas/rooms and a workshop. The second barn is currently used for the day to day business and is used as sheltered parking for the tractor, mowers and other equipment. There is a relatively small clubhouse with bar area and small kitchen adjoining the house, with a WC for use by the golfing clientele. The golf course is situated on 22 hectares and is 9 holes, with a par of 35. The course is quite rustic 'champêtre', unlike most golf courses in France which are very manicured and expensive to play and upkeep. The golf course here remains very accessible and suitable for all levels of golfer.

Additional Details
The golf course has been established for nearly 20 years and the club is renowned for its welcoming/friendly atmosphere with several groups returning multiple times each year and for several years. The club currently has 50 members, although was up to 90 several years ago. The property definitely represents business and development potential, whether as a golf course, with accomodation and/or restauratiion or as something completely different. The property is in a prime location on the main axe between Saint Nazaire and Laval, with no other golf courses within 40 minutes drive.

Revenue Generation
The golf course generates a revenue each year which, given that the ongoing running costs are relatively fixed, fluctuates depending on the number of annual members. There is a clear potential for the development of revenue by increasing the number of members/visitors with an improvement of/creation of facilities and/or accommodation as well as improving the golf course itself.
