Moored on the Canal de Jouy, just 10 minutes from Metz city centre, this elegant Freycinet barge dating from the 1950s is set in verdant surroundings along a towpath lined with chestnut trees. Renovated to a very high standard, it now offers a main flat and two independent gîtes. With its two terraces of 16 and 35 m² respectively, it could be used as a 135 m² living or working space on the water.

The owner’s current 80 m² flat comprises a pleasant 40 m² living room with open-plan kitchen, pellet stove and air conditioning. A bathroom and three bedrooms cleverly arranged on a mezzanine make up the sleeping area.

The first 45 m² gîte has a living room with lounge, kitchen and single bed, plus a shower room and bedroom with double bed. The second 20 m² gîte is located in the captain’s cabin and offers a real studio on the water with its desk, shower room, bench, bed and dining area.

From a technical point of view, the engine is in perfect working order, and the barge underwent a dry-dock survey and a survey on the water in 2018. Running water and electricity are available from the quay.
