FREE TERM SALE TO GRAB: DOWN PAYMENT: €19,750 + MONTHLY PAYMENTS: €458 PER MONTH FOR 10 YEARS (120 MONTHS) OR CASH PURCHASE: €74,750 RARE! This habitable barge, built in 1928 by the Chantier des Deux Saintes, measuring 39 meters long by 5 meters wide, is located between Reims and Soissons in the Aisne (02). The barge has the unique feature of having the boatman's accommodation in the center, in its original oak state. Only 2 or 3 boats of this model remain. It has 2 separate holds. The entrance is through the front hold, which is arranged as a habitable apartment: a living room of 50 m² including the equipped kitchen with appliances (electric cooking plate, fridge-freezer, washing machine, and dishwasher), and the living area. A wood stove (France Turbo) installed in 2011 heats the entire space. An electric and economical heating system (2004), which can also serve as an air conditioner, is also installed. Brightness is ensured by round polished brass portholes and a skylight (to be replaced – leaks during storms). The front peak is separated from the kitchen by a watertight door and arranged as a pantry and wood storage. A 10m² cabin with a porthole (same model), heated either by the radiation from the wood stove or by the same reverse air conditioning system (see main room). A bathroom (10m²) with a bathtub and shower (to be replaced) + a dressing room and a porthole. Following this, the captain's cabin (work to be planned, especially insulation) (also with independent access to the outside), in original oak, with an original built-in bed (view of the outside), a central room that can serve as an office/library. Two windows at the back. Possibility to install a wood stove. Below the accommodation: an insulated and closed technical room, including a 150-liter electric water heater for hot water, a 1000-liter water tank, a tank for wastewater treatment. Possibility to install the washing machine, water inlet and outlet planned. A black water treatment system remains to be installed. An empty hold (about 50m²) remains to be developed (insulation, electricity, creation of a bathroom…). Many possibilities, round polished brass portholes installed, floors laid. Ideal for conversion into an additional bedroom or guest rooms or independent apartment. The barge also has a canopy including the pilot station, and the sailor's apartment in its original state (work to be planned, especially insulation) with direct access from the hold to be developed. A very accessible 40m² wooden terrace is installed on the converted apartment. A small boat, ropes, life jackets, buoys, fire extinguishers… The community fee is valid until August 6, 2024. The ten-year visit will therefore need to be planned and will have to be borne by the buyer.

To be planned: exterior painting, replacement of the clear view of the living room, the shower of the current bathroom to be replaced, insulation of the central cabin, finish the development of the second hold, create another bathroom, install a black water treatment system, renovate the cabin of the cabin boy and the canopy.
