Property Overview
Set in an exceptional natural environment, this estate is an established gîte and guesthouse business operating since 2012, renowned for the quality of its hospitality and the flexibility of its offering. It enjoys an outstanding reputation, with a 5? rating on Tripadvisor and a score of 9.6/10 on Booking.com, as well as a loyal and returning clientele.
The property offers a highly versatile setup, allowing it to accommodate individual travelers and couples in guest rooms, families in independent gîtes, and groups of up to 30 people through full privatization, including multi-generational families, retreats, workshops, events, and seminars. Between group bookings, the three gîtes and guest rooms are rented individually, ensuring excellent commercial flexibility.
The entire property is sold fully furnished and equipped, including branding elements such as logo, website, and social media, making it a genuine turnkey "lifestyle" business.
Layout and Capacity
The estate offers 565 m² of living space distributed across three buildings, comprising 14 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms.
The main house includes five guest rooms with en-suite bathrooms, a fully renovated independent two-bedroom apartment, and a large independent five-bedroom apartment offering panoramic views from every window.
A charming stone gîte features one bedroom and a private terrace overlooking the swimming pool and surrounding mountains.
A second, more spacious independent gîte includes one bedroom, a shelter for two vehicles, and a large panoramic terrace overlooking the valley. It is currently used as the owners' residence.
The accommodation can be rented as separate units or as a whole, with a total capacity of approximately 30 guests. All units are officially rated up to 3? by the local Tourist Office and are fully furnished and equipped to this standard.
Common Areas and Facilities
All five gîtes and apartments are independent and equipped with full kitchens including microwaves and dishwashers. A large central kitchen allows for meal preparation for groups of up to 30 people.
The heart of the estate is a spacious 70 m² multi-purpose living area, which serves as a lounge, cinema room, yoga or workshop space, as well as a reception or conference room. It is equipped with a 75-inch television, a 5-meter cinema screen, a video projector, and a full sound system.
Additional amenities include a games room with billiards and table football, a fitness room, a dining area, a laundry room, and a professional linen room. The property is connected to high-speed fiber optic internet.
Setting and Outdoor Areas
The estate is set on 8,970 m² of land on the outskirts of Sahorre, at an altitude of 680 meters, within a preserved rural environment.
The outdoor spaces include landscaped gardens and lawns, an illuminated 11 x 4 meter swimming pool, a lit pétanque court, several panoramic terraces and patios, and parking for 10 to 12 vehicles.
Location and Tourism Activity
Located at the foot of Mont Canigou, within the Parc Naturel Régional des Pyrénées Catalanes, and within easy reach of both the Mediterranean coast and ski resorts, the property enjoys a highly desirable location.
Surrounded mainly by agricultural land, the estate is just a two-minute walk from the Rotja River, ideal for swimming and fishing. A pleasant riverside walk leads directly to the village, which offers a bistro, local shops, a school, and a school bus service.
Just 3 km away, a nearby town provides a supermarket, pharmacy, petrol station, restaurants, market, thermal spa, and sports facilities.
The region is a major destination for nature tourism, offering hiking, cycling, mountaineering, wildlife observation, and cultural heritage, with nearby attractions including Villefranche-de-Conflent, Eus, and the famous Petit Train Jaune. The area benefits from approximately 300 days of sunshine per year.
Access and Connections
The property is located approximately 45 minutes from Perpignan airport, 1 hour 30 minutes from Béziers and Gérone, 2 hours from Carcassonne and Montpellier, and around 3 hours from Barcelona and Toulouse. The TGV high-speed train connects Paris to Perpignan, and the nearest train station is Villefranche-Vernet-les-Bains, which is also the departure point of the Petit Train Jaune.
Business Potential
The business has deliberately been operated at a semi-retirement level in recent years for personal reasons, although demand remains strong year-round.
The property is currently rented for up to €8,400 per week during peak season, already generating approximately €100,000 annually under a simplified operating model. Bookings for the 2026 season are already confirmed at €42,000.
Development opportunities include themed retreats such as yoga, painting, hiking, sports, and wellness stays, as well as events, seminars, and the highly profitable wedding market.
Certified accounts dating back to 2013 and financial forecasts are available following a visit.
My Opinion - A Rare Opportunity
This is a complete, profitable, and immediately operational tourism property in an exceptional natural setting, with an established brand image and significant development potential.
It represents both a business opportunity, a lifestyle project, and a long-term investment asset in the heart of the Catalan Pyrenees.
Operating Costs
The annual property tax amounts to €3,315, while the business tax (CFE) is €1,296. Electricity costs are approximately €3,115 per year, gas €965, and water €800.
