Summary
Gite with magnificent views of the Loire Canal, in a quiet location. Sold fully equipped and furnished.

Located in the Hauts-de-Cher region, in Léré, 2 hours south of Paris, 20 minutes from Sancerre and Briare, near Guédelon, on the Loire à Vélo cycle route.

Price: €160,000,
Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Class C.
4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms (including 3 toilets, plus a separate toilet).

The accommodation currently covers 110m² and features a garden of approximately 60m².
The canal view and the space in front of the house make it a bucolic and enchanting place, a true place of relaxation, according to all the tenants.
The canal runs in front of the house, and a lawn with tables and benches along the canal in front of the house. Two independent entrances lead, on one side, to a studio with its bathroom and toilet, and its approximately 60 m² garden. On the other side, there's an open-plan kitchen with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and three toilets, with a porch opening onto a quiet country lane. The two apartments can easily be combined (simple partitions can be removed). A second floor is already partially installed, see below.
The Loire Canal is visible from all the bedrooms and the open-plan kitchen of the third bedroom, making this cottage exceptional, according to all visitors.
The property has an annual rental income of €15,000, with an additional potential of €4,800 if the studio is rented.
All you have to do is take over the business in your name; everything is in place, clean, and functional (lots of linen). The roof has been regularly inspected, and the slate portion, representing a third of the roof, has been redone. The rest is tiled and in good condition.
There is a one-car garage and a cellar in the basement of the house.
20 meters from the house, there is a public parking lot for 4 cars with electric charging. Two cars can be parked in the garden in front of the studio.
The current home is on the ground floor plus one floor, spread over 110 m². The second floor, approximately 30 m², already has a concrete floor, as well as the partitions and insulation of a 9 m² bedroom and its wooden window, overlooking the canal. The bathroom remains to be completed, and the finishing touches to the roof eaves for the insulated living room are to be finished. A spiral staircase is to be installed, the current staircase being straight, to add to the house's potential. There is no insulation or energy rating work to be done. The house has a Class C energy performance certificate (DPE), and the 2023 diagnostics report no comments on the electrical installation, which has been updated. Double glazing throughout. Heating is by a recent heat pump (3 years old) and regulated by a professional specified by the manufacturer.
These two properties have two listings for the three bedrooms, subdivided into a two-bedroom listing in addition to the three-bedroom listing, plus the studio listing, on Airnb, Booking.com, Abritel, and the house's website. Send a private message upon request.
Of course, the property is very well equipped for rental, down to the smallest detail. Two microwaves, dishes, cooking utensils, two coffee machines, two toasters, a juicer, two washing machines, a dryer, three vacuum cleaners, four TVs, etc. Fiber optic Wi-Fi.
