Profitable leisure resort in southern France with a permitted large-scale expansion

This cooperative is investing in a profitable leisure resort located on a historic estate in southern France. The resort includes a hotel with vacation accommodations, a highly regarded restaurant, and golf facilities, and is already operating profitably. In addition, an adjacent parcel of land has been purchased, and the zoning plan has been amended to allow for a significant expansion of the number of vacation homes, central facilities, and additional golf facilities.

Core Activities
The cooperative is taking a substantial stake in the acquisition and expansion of the resort. The revenue streams reinforce one another: rentals of hotel rooms and vacation homes, food and beverage services, golf and other facilities, and property value appreciation through development and sustainability initiatives.

The resort is already profitable, with a highly regarded restaurant and existing golf facilities. The approved expansion provides immediate added value: the purchased parcel has been appraised at well above the purchase price. Favorable subsidies and low-interest loans cover part of the construction costs, which increases the return on investment, while a stake in the construction partner limits the development risk.
