Main Description
Lovely smallholding with house and holiday chalets
A rare opportunity to acquire a delightful 1.6 hectare/ 4 acre smallholding with a dwelling and holiday accommodation on the French Mediterranean island of Corsica, comprising a 3 bedroom house, three 2 bedroom wooden chalets and a caravan situated at an altitude of about 300 metres/ 1000 feet on mainly level, partly fenced pasture and woodland, with a large organic vegetable garden, pool, numerous fruit trees, irrigation system and stream.
This attractive property is located in the Taravo valley in south west Corsica, a 3 minute drive from the friendly village of Petreto Bicchisano with its shops, bars and restaurants. It is located at the end of a 400 metre track and benefits from a south facing, rural yet not isolated setting. It has beautiful unspoilt mountain and seaward views and is within easy reach of the resort town of Propriano and the famous sandy beaches of the Valinco Bay. It is a 30 minute car journey to the mountainous heartland of the Alta Rocca, and less than an hour's drive to the capital city of Ajaccio with its airport, seaport and railway station.
There is mains water, solar water heating, a three-phase electricity supply, broadband enabled phone line, bottled gas cooking supply and dual septic tank drainage.
This immensely desirable property has immediate appeal as a Mediterranean home with proven income, and also has scope for further development and improvement.
The property has been English owned for nearly forty years and hence is extremely well integrated with the local population.
This is reluctant sale by the present English owners who have lived and worked here for almost ten years and are now returning to the UK for personal and family reasons.

The chalets have been let out to holidaymakers for over six years: accounts and records are available for inspection.
Included in the sale will be a quantity of furniture, crockery, cutlery, bed linen, towels and other materials to equip the holiday chalets.
The vendors will be retaining a chalet and outbuildings on a separate terrace plus a further small piece of land, totalling about 0.4 hectares/ 1 acre. Both areas are naturally separate from the property for sale but steps will be taken by the vendors to divide and screen them further as appropriate.
The present owners have welcomed volunteer helpers from the WWOOF, Help Exchange and Workaway organisations for over six years to assist in all aspects of work on the smallholding
