This beautifully restored farmhouse offers exceptional flexibility, ideal for income-generating ventures, retreats, or use as a multi-generational residence. Currently divided into four fully independent dwellings, the property presents a ready-made investment opportunity. It attracts both short- and long-term tenants, particularly pilgrims traveling along the Via Garonna (part of the Compostela route). This rare property combines lifestyle, sustainability, and investment potential in an extraordinary setting.
Perched on the renowned Balcon des Pyrénées walking route, the property enjoys sweeping 180-degree views across the Pyrennean mountain range and the Garonne Valley. A historic forest path leads directly from the property to the medieval cité of Rieux-Volvestre. Located in the emerging region of Les Volvestres, the area benefits from both natural beauty and excellent modern infrastructure.
The current owners generate approximately €15,000 annually from summer holiday rentals, with potential to increase income significantly through retreats, workshops, courses, or wedding-related stays. The home regularly hosts events, including 4–5 concerts per year, and is a popular venue for wedding guests attending ceremonies at nearby Rieux Cathedral and Château de Palays. With the right business plan and formal registrations, income could rise to €30,000–€40,000 per year.
In addition, a large on-site farm workshop, already equipped with three-phase electricity and water, offers further revenue possibilities through rental or conversion (subject to permissions).
