Welcome Site Lodging In A Woody Park

A NATURAL ESTATE WAITING TO BE REIMAGINED IN THE HEART OF THE BERRY REGION

More than just a former campground, this property now offers a rare opportunity to breathe new life into a true estate dedicated to tourism, wellness, nature, and hospitality.

Spanning 9 hectares, about half of which is forested, the site benefits from a preserved natural environment while remaining easily accessible: 10 minutes from the A20 highway, 15 minutes from Châteauroux, and about 3 hours from Paris.

It is a place where one can envision a new project without having to build all the infrastructure from scratch, as the estate already features numerous buildings, guest areas, and facilities that have supported its operation as a tourist destination.

AN ALREADY ESTABLISHED PROPERTY COMPLEX

The estate includes a reception building with restrooms and a wheelchair-accessible shower, a utility room, a three-room caretaker’s apartment, and several parking areas spread across the property.

A meeting and seminar room with a fully equipped kitchen area of nearly 90 m² and wheelchair-accessible restrooms is complemented, as an extension, by a four-room apartment of approximately 90 m² with a garage and pantry.

Another building of approximately 332 m² houses a large reception hall of about 284 m² with a bar area, an adjoining fully equipped professional kitchen and catering area, restrooms, a boiler room, as well as various utility rooms, workshops, garages, and storage spaces.

Outside, there are about 40 campsites scattered among the trees, along with a restroom facility that is in need of renovation. A swimming pool and a tennis court round out the recreational facilities, both of which also need renovation.

A SETTING PERFECT FOR RECHARGING

The presence of a large wooded area gives the property a unique atmosphere, ideal for unwinding and nature-oriented activities.

The site could thus host a project centered on wellness and rejuvenation: yoga or meditation retreats, sophrology, naturopathy, massages, fitness, personal development, or themed stays.

The wooded areas could also be used for outdoor activities such as forest bathing, meditation trails, educational workshops, or environmental activities.

A VENUE THAT CAN BE USED YEAR-ROUND

The diversity of the facilities makes it possible to envision activities that go far beyond the scope of a traditional campground.

The property is particularly well-suited for hosting seminars, training sessions, workshops, artist-in-residence programs, or therapist residencies, as well as various private or professional events.

Its capacity and facilities also make it possible to envision a tourism business centered on exploring the Berry region, the Brenne, the Creuse Valley, its castles, and its many hiking trails, including those leading to Santiago de Compostela.

FOREIGN GUESTS WHO HAVE LEFT THEIR MARK

For many years, the site has welcomed vacationers, families, and events, as well as a significant international clientele.

Located along a route crossing France, the estate served as a regular stopover in Berry for many travelers. This international clientele had grown accustomed to stopping here and particularly appreciated the warm welcome they received until 2024

Now that the camping business has ceased, this clientele no longer has the opportunity to visit the estate. However, they have retained fond memories of it, presenting an attractive opportunity for a buyer wishing to reestablish this visitor base and restore the site’s role as a tourist destination.

POTENTIAL THAT CAN BE DEVELOPED GRADUALLY

One of the main attractions of this property lies in its existing infrastructure.

The future buyer is not starting with a blank slate, but with a complex of buildings already designed to accommodate the public and host various activities. This setup allows for a gradual reopening, depending on the chosen project and the desired investments.

The estate could thus evolve into a concept that combines tourism, nature, wellness, training, and events, while preserving the peaceful and lush atmosphere that is currently one of its main attractions.

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR AN ADDITIONAL ACQUISITION

In addition to the main property, it is also possible to acquire a separate building of approximately 280 m² that includes, among other things, a former bar-restaurant, a professional kitchen, restrooms, an office, a boiler room, and two terraces completely renovated in 2013

Depending on the planned project, this additional acquisition could provide a fully functional on-site dining and hospitality facility.

A NEW CHAPTER TO BE WRITTEN

Located in the immediate vicinity of Châteauroux and the A20 highway, about 1.5 hours from Tours or Poitiers, 1 hour from Limoges, and 3 hours from Paris, this property combines elements rarely found together in a single location: a large land area, a preserved natural environment, existing infrastructure, and a rich history in tourism.

An estate waiting to be reinvented, whose potential far exceeds that of a former campground and which, in a new form, could rediscover its purpose of hospitality, sharing, and rejuvenation.

The reception building with a three-bedroom apartment is rated E256 for energy performance and B10 for greenhouse gas emissions, with estimated annual energy costs ranging from €1,240 to €1,720.
The building housing the seminar room and the adjoining four-bedroom apartment is rated D229 for energy performance and B9 for greenhouse gas emissions, with estimated annual energy costs ranging from €4,080 to €5,560.
