Farming
The farm is exclusively a crop farm which underwent a conversion to organic in 2015.
The farm is managed by a stable, experienced and totally autonomous team of 9 people, headed by a Belgian-Romanian tandem.
This team has at its disposal all the necessary and specific equipment for organic farming (several tractors and harvesters, tools for working the soil, quads, cars, etc.). This equipment is included in the sale.
The farming activity is profitable.
The hunt
First of all, it is important to know that the territory was studied and designed by an English gamekeeper who had the woods and hedges planted, choosing the species carefully, and created the ponds, etc.
He also trained the current gamekeeper for 5 years, who now manages the whole hunting part alone, including the breeding of about 6,000 ducks a year.
He has all the necessary equipment at his disposal (incubator, hatchery, quads, cars, boats, etc.). This equipment is included in the sale.
In addition to ducks shooting, natural pheasant and quail are shot, as well as hares and roe deer.
Every year, around twenty hunting days are organised, with a total bag of approximately 3.000 ducks, 250 pheasants (only coq birds), 400 quails, 350 hares and 85 roe deer.
Some of the hunting days are sold to cover the costs of the property's amenities.
