THE LAND:
I am selling plot 2. (Terrain constructible plat 2240 m² , 46330 LENTILLAC-DU-CAUSSE)
This is 1 of 4 plots which were put up for sale by the community for residential development about 10 years ago. Plots 1 and 3 are also now privately owned with plot 3 building completed and occupied permanently by a French family.
See also .ps://www.monbeauvillage.fr/46/46330/lentillac-du-causse/google-map. The completed property plot 3 next door can be seen on terrain view, look left of the road marked Mas de Fargues.
Reasons for selling are that our family circumstances have changed, it was our intention to retire and live permanently in France but this is no longer possible.
My plan had been to put a temporary mobile home on the site and connect water and electricity to provide accommodation while the property for which I had received planning permission was under construction.
This building licence and planning have now lapsed. New applications will be required by the new owner.
The local Maire's office will give guidance on building licence and planning applications and regulations. Mairie Le Bourg 46330 Lantillac du Causse 056531340.
I have shared with you some of the drawings of the property I proposed to build and would draw your attention to the photograph showing the house on plot which is a simulation.
A recently completed G1 survey confirms the land is suitable for building on.
The successful purchaser will need to apply for a building licence. The contract to purchase 'Compromis de Vente' will be subject to this being granted to you by the Commune.
