Idyllic Gîte Complex with Pool in Charente – A Hidden Gem!
Established Gîte Business for Sale in France – Exceptional Renovated Estate with Pool and 8 Acres in Haute Charente
Set at the end of a quiet private lane and surrounded by rolling countryside, this beautifully restored estate offers a rare opportunity to acquire a successful lifestyle business in one of France's most attractive rural locations. Comprising five character stone houses within approximately 8 acres (3.2 hectares) of land, the property combines a comfortable family home, established holiday accommodation, and significant future potential.
Located just 2.5 km from a lively village and close to the renowned lakes of Haute Charente, the estate enjoys a peaceful setting while remaining within easy reach of shops, restaurants, schools and everyday services.
The spacious owner's residence has been thoughtfully renovated and features four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a stylish new kitchen installed in 2024. A private garden and jacuzzi provide a secluded retreat, allowing owners to enjoy their own space while running the business.
The estate also includes four fully equipped gîtes that have successfully welcomed guests for more than 23 years. Comprising two three-bedroom cottages, one four-bedroom cottage and one two-bedroom cottage, the accommodation is designed for year-round use, with private terraces, outdoor dining areas and wood-burning stoves enhancing their appeal throughout every season.
At the heart of the property lies a superb heated swimming pool measuring 12m x 6m, surrounded by generous terraces, a sauna and attractive outdoor entertaining spaces. A separate summer house and games room provides additional flexibility and could be adapted for wellness retreats, creative workshops, fitness activities or guest events.
Significant investment has been made in modernising the estate, including the installation of solar panels, a heat pump, fibre-optic internet and electric vehicle charging facilities. Ample private parking accommodates more than fifteen vehicles, making the property particularly well suited to group bookings and hospitality use.
The location is a major attraction for both owners and guests. The lakes of Haute Charente, with their beaches, watersports, walking trails and restaurants, are within easy reach, while the towns of Chabanais and Rochechouart are less than ten minutes away. Limoges International Airport can be reached in approximately forty minutes, and TGV rail connections are around forty-five minutes from the property. The estate also benefits from its position close to the borders of Dordogne and Haute-Vienne, making it an ideal base for exploring some of the most beautiful areas of south-west France.
Situated within the stunning Périgord National Park, the property appeals strongly to walkers, cyclists, nature lovers and international visitors seeking an authentic French countryside experience. As a result, it offers not only a wonderful place to live but also an established and profitable hospitality business.
For buyers searching for a gîte business for sale in France, a hospitality investment with proven income, or a lifestyle property offering both home and revenue, this exceptional estate presents a compelling opportunity. With a long history of successful operation and scope to expand into retreats, boutique accommodation, equestrian holidays or other tourism ventures, it is a turnkey business ready for its next chapter.
A truly outstanding property that must be seen to be fully appreciated.

Opening Hours

If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
