Description

South of France - Fantastic fishing and the Good Life!

Le Paradou was originally a well- known dance hall, cafe and restaurant. The café has been virtually rebuilt to provide a comfortable 1-2 bedroomed bungalow, with large kitchen diner, utility, lounge and bathroom. The bungalow has gas central heating, which is rarely necessary because of the extensive insulation and very efficient log burner! Patio doors lead from the lounge onto a private terraced area overlooking the large gardens, fishpond and river. A second breakfast patio area is accessed from the kitchen. The restaurant and dance hall, housed separately, have been refurbished to provide a workshop and art gallery, together with three en-suite double/twin guest rooms, which are presently operating as bed and breakfast accommodation. (Ideal for visiting family and friends!) There is a dining room/lounge/games room, a well-fitted kitchen/bar area and extensive loft/storage area. French doors lead out onto the terrace where you can relax by the plunge pool and take in the stunning surroundings or use the barbeque. There are also two additional rooms for use as store/bedroom.
Outside there is a large wooden cabin/store, ideal for lawnmower, fishing tackle, etc.
This property has much potential to develop further business, such as boating, creative courses, bar/ restaurant etc, or for self-sufficiency!
Le Paradou is situated in a unique position on the River Lot, in one of the most beautiful areas of France. It lies between the delightful medieval villages of Estaing and Entragues. Fantastic angling for nearly all European freshwater species including massive carp, huge catfish, and specimen zander. There are wonderful walks nearby. The lovely village of Estaing, with its quaint shops, good restaurants and cafes, is only 4km away. The attractive town of Espalion is 10km away providing a large supermarket, medical services, markets and numerous boutiques, cafes and restaurants. The city of Rodez is only 30 minutes away and the airport provides cheap flights with Ryanair.
