Main house and all the surrounding property - excellent potential for an investor - 10 minutes from Aulnay de Saintonge

Set in a quiet village less than 3 km from Dampierre-sur-Boutonne with Renaissance Chateau, grocery store and bar and just a short drive (10 minutes) to the lively market town of Aulnay, this attractively priced property offers a rare combination of main residence, potential rental income, and countryside living. Within a 50 minute drive of the Atlantic coast, safe beaches and the beautiful city of La Rochelle (served by budget airlines) making this an appealing base for both permanent living and seasonal lets.
The estate includes a comfortable main house with three bedrooms, kitchen, sitting room and a garage that could be converted into a ground-floor bedroom, together with four separate properties that have previously operated successfully as holiday rentals. One of these gîtes and the main house are habitable straight away, providing immediate rental potential. Another cottage is ready for decoration. The large Charentaise farmhouse and the remaining three gîtes offer an exciting opportunity for renovation and value creation as part of a phased investment plan.

The property is set back from the road in a peaceful village location and enjoys open countryside views to the rear. It sits in over 3,000 m² of land with a garage, three open barns, a workshop, various small outbuildings and a swimming pool that requires a new liner. Aulnay, just 10 km away, serves as the local hub and provides a large supermarket, shops, restaurants, bars, a veterinary clinic and twice weekly market, including a lively Sunday market, as well as medical services.

This is an excellent investment for buyers seeking a live-in main house with the option to manage and expand a holiday rental business on site. The current setup allows for immediate income from one habitable gîte, alongside the potential to renovate and add at least three more units over time. While not currently marketed as a going concern, the property has strong potential to become one again.

Ideal for investors, developers, second-home buyers and those seeking a peaceful, yet active, village lifestyle close to local amenities and the coast, this estate offers both lifestyle appeal and long-term income potential in the heart of Charente-Maritime.
