Dutch Barge Luxe Motor

Live aboard luxemotor for sale in France. Boatshed Bourgogne is please to offer this residential Dutch barge for sale.

A Luxmotor from 1926 and looking very pretty indeed. This barge has been our vendors' full time home for over ten years and they certainly seem to have looked after her well in that time. They also have a knack for blending traditional with contemporary making a cosy home with modern equipment that retains all the old-world charm of an original Luxe Motor live aboard barge.

Bright and airy yet cosy and warm, the boat is as spotlessly clean in the engine room as in the galley and will make a great cruising home for anyone who appreciates traditional boating but doesn’t care for hairshirt comfort that can be associated with it.

For more information and appointments to view, please contact Graham, your broker at Boatshed Bourgogne.
