A unique and rare opportunity to takeover the running of this highly successful and profitable carp fishery which the current owner has run for 17 years.
Consisting of two lakes for a total of 12 hectares (29 acres) standing in 23 hectares of land . Much woodland and harvestable wood (Sapin et Douglas) some oaks and chesnut.
The larger lake 7ha is on the CASSINI map. Both lakes are drainable.
The site has two stone built houses typically Breton style
The main residence has two reception and a kitchen plus a utility room and boiler room (contains a large oil fired boiler for heating and constant hot showers for the showers) 3 bedrooms and an one suite bathroom plus another shower room toilett on the lower floor. Two rooms hace a nice outlook over the smallest of the two lakes. It has the benefit of having had the roof redone five years ago.
Also attached to this building is a large shower room and toilet facility for the anglers use consisting of two large walk in wet/room showers 2 toilets and 2 basins. It is spacious and done to a professionnal standart. It is only accessible from the outside, not from the inside of the house.
The second house has two ground floor rooms and an open plan kitchen and three bedrooms on the first floor with two ensuite toilets showers. Oil fired boiler for fire heating. The second house had the roof redone with new slates around 15 years ago
The lake facilities consist of full shower (x2) toilet facilities a separate dining area and a commercial kitchen for food preparation plus an onsite shop which provides,bait, terminal tackle, confectionary, soft drinks etc etc
The lakes are rural and the surroundings are extremely tranquil and beautiful which is a part of why anglers keep coming back here year after year as well as the excellent fishing of course.
The lakes are very well stocked with lots of thirties forties fifties and carp to 70lbs plus silure zander pike and silverfish
Its easily run by two people but also this would be an ideal purchase for two families to run.
The owner is selling very reluctantly due to ill health and family problems and is looking to sell it lock stock and barrel with all equipment and carp stock etc and will happily train/help the next owner to continue successfully operating and earning a very nice income.
2019 had around 240 anglers and already has over 200 bookings with deposits paid for 2020 and some for 2021. The business has not needed to advertise for the last eight years or more as the current owner didn’t feel the need to expand on current turnover, however there is masses of room to increase it to full capacity and extend the booking season should you want an even higher income.
This business operates in a very unique way, full details will be given to prospective purchasers along with fully audited accounts (both French SARL and English ltd company)
This fishery operates very differently to most French carp lakes (unique in fact) and has a turnover in excess of £174.000 per annum with a high profit margin, currently it only operates between the beginning of April until mid October
Prospective purchasers will be given full information upon inspection of the property.
There is a lot of room for expansion if desired and it would be very suitable for a horse riding centre (we kept our own 4 horses here until recently) and (subject to planning) would make a good camping caravan site.
Additional income available by letting shooting rights especially the duck shooting (although we never have during our ownership)
Local amenities:
It is situated about 35 minutes drive from the coast (bay of biscay) and is in an area that many Parisians retire to due to its natural beauty mild winters and great amenities
The complete business and property along with fish stocks has been valued in excess of 900,000 Euros but due to the current family situation the owner will accept the absolute bargain price of 700,000 Euros.
It has not previously been offered for sale and is new to the market and offers a very unique opportunity to have an exceptionally nice way of life in a beautiful quiet area with an extremely decent income working just 7 months a year.
