REAL ESTATE FOR SALE (€ Euro 699,950)
Villa - House for sale in Clermont Ferrand Puy de Dome Auvergne France

7 hectare lake fully stocked with well established fish.

A very rare opportunity exists to purchase a fully habitable watermill, 4 very high standard gites, and 7 hectare carte de Cassini lake fully stocked with carp, pike, zander, perch, roach and trout, situated in the heart of rural France in the Auvergne Region just 20 minutes from Montlucon and 20 mins from Clermont Ferrand and its airport.

This is an outstanding property offering the following accommodation right on the lakeside with many of the views from windows overlooking the lake.

The main living accommodation is found in the mill house sat right on the banks of the lake with many windows overlooking this stunning water. The house comprises of a modern kitchen, Lounge, garage, toilet, utility room, bathroom and separate dining room on the ground floor. 2 double bedrooms on the second floor.

In the basement of the mill house the first of the 4 gites have been created, with entrance leading directly out to the terrace and swimming pool, a spacious and airy 2 bedroom gite, very tastefully furnished with colour co-ordinated décor, all furnishings will remain with this property in the gites.

The other 3 gites are located in a separate building, all 3 gites offering very comfortable accommodation and once again very high quality of furnishings and décor, 2 of these gites offer views over the lake, and one offers a balcony overlooking the pool and the lake. The building also houses the workshop and a large ballroom not currently used, but could easily be converted into a further gite, for anyone wanting to offer camping this would also be the perfect location for a shower block.

Outside in the grounds are 2 sun terraces one with swimming pool, and the other overlooking the lake, a small barn currently used for housing pool equipment could also be adapted into changing area and showers.

The lake has so much history with many famous events taking place here, there is also an old lake clubhouse bar with a terrace overlooking the lake, this is in good state of repair and with this location could quiet easily be turned into a restaurant bar, becoming a very lucrative business.

For the fishing the lake is 100% private with no other person having right to the waters or fishing without permission 2/3 of its banks are fishable and with a little clearing of shrubs this lake could quite easily create 18 spacious swims.

This is not being sold as a business as it has never been fully run as one, the current owners carried out most of the works in order friends and family could stay and enjoy the property, the owners do have a small amount of French clients that have found the site by accident stayed and passed on to friends, but no active advertising has never been carried out to operate as a full blown business, potentially a gold mine.

The lake was half drained 6 years ago with only 20% of its stocks taken away, it has also had a further introduction of stocks since, with carp of 16kg being stocked 6 years ago, the lake has been fished very little since, so for any carp fishermen out there do your sums and calculations, there’s some monsters in here. A full stocking list is available; a legal document from the notaire stating the introduced stocks only not what was existing as well.

This is a must to come and see and at this price will not be on the market long, for those of you who know your lakes and regulations, it is now very rare to find lakes with properties on, and to find a lake with properties and an ancient carte de Cassini lake are more or less impossible.
