Broker's Comments

Boatshed Bourgogne is happy to offer this live aboard Dutch barge, houseboat, tjalk built in the Netherlands in 1912, converted in a motor cruiser in the 60’s, for sale in France, north Burgundy.

Character, charm & comfort !! Very well maintained by her owner, this old lady has benefited from 2 new engines, main engine and bow thruster. Very flat boat, with 2 proper cabins. The forward cabin has a king size bed accessible on 2 sides. The very big shower, the comfortable galley and saloon, all the storage spaces, the cabin heating allow to live all the year long on this dutch barge. Less than 20 meters long, starting is nevertheless very easy.

A good looking featured boat for Tjalk or live aboard barge lovers, the comfort on top! Possible for living all the year long
