The Farmhouse:
Main stone house from 1850, well maintained and modernized, 260 m².

A barn area completes the ground floor.
On the first floor, there are three large bedrooms and one smaller bedroom. The master bedroom is divided into two parts by a sliding wooden door.
The floor also includes three shower rooms (two recently tiled with travertine and one with floating parquet).
The house windows are double-glazed since 2019, and the shutters were painted in 2022.
Part of the house is heated from November to April by an efficient oil central heating system. Outside this period, no heating is needed, and in summer, the house stays cool thanks to 60 cm thick natural stone walls.
A stove heats the living and dining rooms.
There is a basement accessible from the hallway.
At the back of the house is a septic tank from 2019.
The kitchen sink and dishwasher drain into a grease trap also renewed in 2019.

The Cottage:
The 60 m² cottage serves as a charming holiday home and accommodation.
The base is stone with a more recent extension.
The ground floor is divided into a kitchen/dining area (renovated in 2017) with dining table, a sitting area, and a bedroom with bunk beds.
A small wood stove heats the space.
An authentic stone staircase leads to the first floor, where there is a renovated shower room with shower, sink, and toilet, as well as a bedroom with a double bed.
The cottage has its own terrace and garden but is also part of the campsite.
The cottage is connected to a septic tank.

The Campsite:
According to the current permit, the campsite has 30 pitches.
The tent spaces are particularly spacious, each averaging 300 m².
There are 9 safari tents on site: 6 XL type and 3 L type.
XL tents are set on 6 x 9 meter wooden floors, and L tents on 5 x 7 meter wooden floors.
Some safari tents have maintenance-free PVC roofs and do not require winter covers; others are wrapped in off-season covers; some have PVC winter covers.
The safari tents are equipped with a mobile kitchen unit, an indoor dining table, an outdoor dining table, a double bed, a bunk bed, and a hammock.
XL tents also have a double sofa and deck chairs.
XL tents accommodate 5 people, L tents 4 people.
XL tents are arranged around the central area with various amenities.
L safari tents are located in a quieter part of the campsite with stunning views over the open field and forest edge.

The safari tents and camping pitches share a common sanitary building.
This building includes 5 showers, 4 toilets, 2 sinks, and 4 washing areas.
It also has a refrigerator, microwave, and washing machine.
The sanitary building is connected to a septic tank.

Notes:
- Safari tents are not covered by the Light Leisure Habitations permit and are simply set up on camping pitches. This means it is easy to add more safari tents on the pitches without additional permits.
- The property has 32 electrical outlets in total, distributed over 8 power points serving the camping pitches, safari tents, and lighting.
- There is a swimming pool approximately 7 x 3 meters, operating with a pump and filter bags. The pool is inexpensive to maintain.
- The campsite has received excellent ratings in European Commission evaluation reports.

The owners, who have many positive reviews, have chosen to open the campsite only 6 to 7 weeks per year, in July and August.
Revenue comes from accommodation (safari tents, cottage, and camping pitches) and catering (breakfast, meals, snacks, drinks).

Environment:
With its park-like layout, adjacent woods, and many varieties of trees and plants (including a row of conifers several tens of meters high), the property covers a total of 52,000 m².
The campsite occupies most of the estate and can be divided into four parts:
- The first part is near the estate entrance, generally occupied by campers and a bit further from the central area with facilities.
- The central area is the heart of the campsite, hosting the XL safari tents and various camping pitches.
- The rear area is smaller and offers pitches with more privacy.
- The L safari tents are located adjacent to the central area with breathtaking views of the open field and forest edge.

A stream borders the property, marking the boundary.
