Superb Chateau (ideal as a hotel or a conference centre) in the Gers department. The property is set on grounds of 42.5 acres (a further 12.5 acres are available on separate negotiation) and comprises: main Chateau (300m² of living space on 4 levels), renovated farmhouse (200m² of living space on 2 levels) and restored outbuilding housing 9 Chambres d'Hôtes (350m² on 2 levels). There is an existing and expanding market for catering / spa activity due to the proximity of the N124 (main road from Toulouse to Pau) and of the thriving town of Nogaro (5 kms away). The town is home to a well-known Formula 1 racecourse and benefits from having a thriving airport. Michelin have recently settled their production department there, which has increased the activity even more. The town is also on the Santiago-de-Compostela pilgrimage trail.
A market study has shown that the hotel could be fully occupied for 6 months of the year. The property lies 1 hour from Toulouse airport and 1.5 hrs from Bordeaux airport but only 40 mins from Pau. The property enjoys splendid views of the Pyrénées. All amenities to be found in Nogaro.
