The slate roof of a steeple glints in the sun; a babbling stream emerges from woodland, and hedges of wild roses border country roads and tracks… This is a different world, this is the Avesnois. In this Regional Nature Park where rock roses and wild carnations still bloom, nature is sometimes peaceful and well-suited to pleasant walks, sometimes bewitching and secretive. And the solidly built churches, the imposing farmsteads and the walled towns remind us that this historic land has a truculent, resistant past. Museums bring back to life the traditional skills associated with metal, wood, textiles and glass, while restaurants and local produce remind us that such skills and craftsmanship are also here.Â
In this stunning landscape is the Lake of Val Joly, a huge mass of water spanning 180 hectares surrounded by endless woodlands and green open spaces. One of the largest lakes in Northern Europe it is the perfect destination for families and individuals who long to spend their days out in the middle of nature enjoying water sports, riding, biking and walking. This new development is located on the Northern edge of the lake, only 20m from the waters edge.Â
Made up of 140 cottages the development has been designed to reflect its organic environment. The cottages benefit from a great deal of wooden features and cladding, from the windows and shutters to the stairs and the verandas. The ‘prairie style’ of the cottages should not be confused with a basic simplicity, as the interiors are contemporary and elegant. The bathrooms are modern and the kitchen fully equipped with built in cupboards. There is parquet flooring throughout. Â
The immediate surrounding area offers a whole host of outdoor activities such as windsurfing, archery, mini golf, trampolines a covered swimming pool, sauna, canoeing, sailing, horse riding, walking and hiking, fishing, hiking and bird watching.Â
This leaseback offers two yields from 3.5% with a 1% holiday budget to be spent in this development or any other in the Eurogroup portfolio, or a 4% yield with no occupation.Â
Prices range from 110,053 – 153,328 euros ex vat for 2 – 3 bedroom cottagesÂ
