The open wheelhouse of the boat is covered by a sun awning that protects you from the sun while enjoying a beautiful outdoor terrace and a steering position that offers a 360° view, very practical for navigation. The sides can also be covered with a plastic cover to give you more privacy or protect this area from the wind. The headroom under the sun awning is 2.03 meters.
Entering through the wheelhouse, you step into the immense living area of this boat. You would find yourself in a true floating appartement in this space, consisting of a first open kitchen area with a headroom of 1.89 meters and reaching up to 2.50 meters at its highest point, and 2.06 meters in the very spacious living room that follows. This room is equipped with a projector, making movie nights undoubtedly very enjoyable.
The boat is equipped with all the amenities and comforts of a house: oven, instant gas water heater, refrigerator, and extractor hood. A powerful R32 RAV Super Digital Inverter Outdoor air conditioning unit provides warmth and coolness to all areas of the boat. The boat is well-insulated thanks to its double glazing and the installation of polyurethane foam and sheep's wool on the ceiling and walls of the boat.
The light wood and numerous windows bring a lot of light inside this boat, creating a truly refreshing atmosphere! Even as someone relatively tall, at 1.85 meters, I felt comfortable everywhere on this boat, just like in a house.
Continuing our tour towards the bow, on the port side, we have the dry toilets of the boat, with a ceiling height of 2.06 meters here. I was surprised by the complete absence of odour, thanks to the efficient system that eliminates them very effectively. Further ahead, there is a first shower with a sink, with a headroom of 2.06 meters here. Towards the bow, at the end of the corridor, there is a first cabin on the port side with its own bathroom equipped with a compact bathtub. Here, the headroom is 2.10 meters, and the bed measures 2 meters at its longest and 1.70 meters at its shortest, with a width of 1.60 meters.
Next, we have a second cabin in the bow on the starboard side, with a headroom of 2.10 meters, and the bed measures 1.92 meters at its longest and 1.75 meters at its shortest, with a width of 1.45 meters. Finally, the third cabin in the bow on the starboard side has a headroom of 2.07 meters and features a bed measuring 1.45 by 2.00 meters. In all three cabins, there is ample storage space under the bed.

Broker's Comments

Boatshed Midi Canals is pleased to present this Dutch Clipper barge, habitable year-round, measuring 24 meters.

Dutch Clipper houseboat for sale.

Here we have a truly bright floating home with all the comforts of a home on land. Its good insulation, double glazing, and efficient Toshiba heat pump will keep you cool or warm depending on the season.

The open kitchen connected to the spacious living area offers numerous possibilities for customisation.

Located near Toulouse, there's the possibility to secure the mooring spot, subject to the acceptance of your application by the harbour master's office.

Ideal for year-round living, its three cabins could also provide you with a unique Airbnb opportunity which is already being offered by our current owner.

Its structure appears to be genuinely sound and robust. Indeed, almost the entire hull below the waterline was rebuilt in 2018. This refurbishment, as well as the boat's compliance with the community certificate (or ESTRIN), was overseen by a reputable inland waterways surveyor. The community certificate is valid until 2028.

For more information or to arrange visits, please contact Robin de Frayssinet, your Boatshed Midi Canals broker.
