Au Fil De L'Eau Discover a floating residence in the heart of the city of Dole. Lulled by the calm of the waters of the Doubs, this barge with an area of 170 m² of living space with a terrace of 100 m² offers three beautiful bedrooms and a private apartment. Currently rented out seasonally, it represents a colossal investment opportunity, with a high occupancy rate throughout the year. This 170 m² houseboat, built in 1952 according to Freycinet barge standards, is a little river gem. Known for its robustness and timeless aesthetics, this emblematic model of the Strasbourg Scar measures 38.75 meters long and 5.05 meters wide. The attention to detail can be found in every corner of this houseboat completely renovated between 2017 and 2023. On board for maximum comfort This houseboat in Dole is designed to offer maximum comfort to its occupants. The front part of the houseboat houses three spacious bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom. The apartment located in the center of the houseboat includes a spacious living room, a mezzanine bedroom and a nice bathroom. The large central living room, with its semi-open kitchen, is the heart of the houseboat. It is equipped with high-end appliances and custom-made furniture. In addition, brass portholes and a skylight provide abundant natural light, accentuating the feeling of space and well-being on board. At the back of the boat, a bargemen's accommodation renovated in 2021 offers an additional living space bathed in light. The barge has a 100 m² terrace spread over several areas to take full advantage of the beauty of the waters of the Doubs. The 40 m² veranda is perfect for hosting moments of conviviality in the open air while being immersed in nature. In addition, the entire houseboat benefits from optimal sunshine until sunset, thanks to its strategic orientation. The outdoor facilities are complemented by a location on the bank, facilitating access to the barge and allowing you to enjoy various water activities. Whether you enjoy fishing, kayaking, or simply strolling along the banks, the houseboat offers an idyllic setting to enjoy the simple pleasures of waterfront living. A choice investment in Dole Currently operated as tourist accommodation, this barge has a remarkable occupancy rate of 90% throughout the year. The three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and the independent apartment at the back of the houseboat allow for a variety of rental types, catering to the needs of different market segments, whether for family stays, romantic getaways or accommodation for special events. In addition, recent renovations, including the upgrading to standards in 2022 and the redone cockpit in 2024, ensure minimal maintenance and long-term durability. Located on the banks of the Doubs River in Dole, nicknamed the "Little Venice of the Jura", the houseboat's location allows easy access to the city's main attractions, such as the Museum of Fine Arts, the birthplace of Louis Pasteur, and the magnificent Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame. The green banks and calm waters create a peaceful and relaxing setting, perfect for walks along the water's edge, kayaking or fishing sessions. The houseboat's proximity to local amenities is a major plus. In just a few minutes, you can access schools, shops, restaurants and transport infrastructure. By combining the charm of an atypical lifestyle and the security of a profitable investment, this houseboat is an ideal opportunity for savvy investors or lovers of a nomadic life to live an extraordinary experience on the water.
