This modern sheep farm is operated as a GAEC (Groupement Agricole d’Exploitation en Commun – Agricultural Collective) and is owned by a couple. The farm buildings, farmhouse and 100 hectares of land are fully privately owned. The structure allows for a smooth and transparent transfer, including all essential elements for an immediate continuation of the activity.
The farm includes 123 hectares, of which 102 hectares are own proprety and 21 hectares are leased from a single owner. All parcels are located in one contiguous block around the buildings, ensuring logical and efficient farm management.
The land consists entirely of permanent grassland with a rich proportion of clover and vetch, contributing to a natural protein supply and soil health. Almost all plots are equipped with water; most via a private spring – a major economic advantage. Everything is fenced with sheep netting, ready for grazing.
The farm infrastructure is complete, spacious, and well designed:
High-quality wrapped silage is used, ensuring constant feed quality and low concentrate costs. The spacious storage facilities allow efficient feed storage, including hay, straw and bales.
The available equipment includes among others:
Telehandler with various buckets
Two New Holland tractors (105 hp and 130 hp) with front linkage and front PTO
Front and side mower
11 m tedder and 9 m rake
The baler and large flatbed trailer are rented from a professional local agricultural dealer with a large, well-maintained machinery fleet.
There is also regular collaboration with the CUMA for, among other things, a wrapper and manure spreader.
The farm has 700 Bel-Tex ewes with high genetic value, selected from Dutch Texels and carriers of the Booroola gene.
These ewes have high average fertility and strong muscling. About 35% of the carcasses are classified in the E-grade, and 60% in the U-grade. This results in high yield per animal, enhancing the farm’s profitability.
In addition to regular production, breeding rams are also sold.
High-quality wrapped silage ensures consistent feed quality and low concentrate costs. The combination of genetics, nutrition, and housing delivers excellent technical performance.
The charming house is located on a private courtyard, separate from the barns, and offers comfort and authenticity. The house has been largely renovated with recent window frames and double glazing.
Ground floor layout: spacious farmhouse kitchen with adjoining pantry, cosy living room, office, bedroom, shower and toilet.
Upstairs: 3 bedrooms; bathroom with bathtub and toilet.
The house is heated by central gas heating, supplemented by a large wood stove and a characteristic Nobel gas stove used in winter for both cooking and heating.
Outside is a covered terrace with outdoor kitchen and a small lake in front of the house for fishing or swimming.
The farm is located in the beautiful, gently rolling countryside of the Bourbonnais, bordered by hedgerows and trees that provide natural shade for the livestock. There is no through traffic, the farm is accessed via a private road. The village is only a 5-minute drive and offers a bakery, small supermarket, pharmacy, restaurant and primary school.
