Details

Unique opportunity to acquire a thriving business ideally located near the spa town of Jonzac, comprising of a fully modernised
3 bedroom house with garden and 10 charming 2 bedroom wooden chalets, all nestling in nearly 2 acres of land.

Tucked away surrounded by woods, yet within easy walk to the village, is this beautifully kept holiday village with the chalets having their own terraces and access to the surrounding gardens.

The fabulous spa in nearby Jonzac, renowned for its healing waters welcomes people (curistes) for 11 months of the year for stays of normally 3 weeks or more.

This little "village" has been hosting these curistes since 2005 and has grown every year as the fame of the healing waters has spread.

Each chalet comes fully equipped and has 2 bedrooms, a kitchen living room, WC and shower room and its own terrace.

The business is turnkey and is currently operated by just one person. It declares a very positive turnover, and boasts an occupation rate of 65%. Many many happy residents return year after year and 2024 reservations are already looking very healthy.

The owner works closely with the Centre Thermal in Jonzac and has excellent feedback. It is still possible to increase the occupancy should a new owner wish.

The main house has been recently fully modernised with the addition of a super light bright kitchen/living room. There is a ground floor bedroom and 2 first floor bedrooms plus 2 shower rooms.

Outside is a workshop and large garage and plenty of room for a swimming pool, subject to the usual permissions.

Set in grounds of over 1.75 acres with walks throughout the local Cognac vineyards and the coast just a short drive, this thriving business is quite unique and viewing is highly recommended.

France Property Buying Guide

Guide to the French Buying Process

1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner. The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent. Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.

2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.

3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase. During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
