The maison de-maitre could be used as for a chambres d'hotes business - or the property could be rented out in its entirety, particularly at Christmas and New Year.

The additional premises of 950m2 are ideal for hosting conferences, events, weddings and other celebrations - with magnificent surroundings for the photos.

The airfield and helipad could be used for flying lessons; the land is perfect for quad bikes and 4 x 4s - and adventure and sporting activities could be marketed for year-round corporate team-building events to both local and national businesses.

In addition, detailed architect's plans are available for the conversion of the first floor of the outbuildings into 3 apartments. A detailed study for an UTN (Unite Touristique Nouvelle) in support of a request for permission for around 40 chalets with the status Park Residentiel de Loisirs on about 3 hectares of the land was prepared by the previous proprietor and will be made available if required.
