RiverHomes is delighted to present Bonheur, a charming 112ft Dutch Luxemotor barge offered with a rare 105-year lease on a secure mooring at Oyster Pier, just moments from Battersea Square. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained floating home in one of London’s most desirable riverside locations.<br/><br/>Internally, Bonheur offers over 1,450 sq ft of living space, including three spacious double bedrooms, each with its own en suite. The heart of the home is a 30ft x 13ft open-plan living area, featuring a wood-burning stove, a well-appointed kitchen, and ample space for dining and entertaining. Central heating ensures year-round comfort, and large windows flood the space with natural light.<br/><br/>Above deck, a generous outdoor area provides panoramic views of the Thames—ideal for relaxing or hosting guests. Living on the river offers a peaceful, village-like atmosphere, enhanced by a friendly community of barge owners and regular visits from local wildlife including swans, herons, and even the occasional seal.<br/><br/>Originally a restaurant on the Seine, Bonheur was transformed in 2005 into a boutique hotel barge cruising the Saône and Burgundy canals. She was brought to London in 2016 and has been lovingly cared for since. A separate master cabin sits beyond the newly rebuilt wheelhouse, offering privacy for owners or guests.<br/><br/>Additional features include extensive underfloor storage, a FiatAifo/Iveco 180HP diesel engine, and shore-connected utilities. The vessel has been dry-docked twice for maintenance, including a gearbox rebuild.<br/><br/>Battersea Square is a five-minute walk, offering cafés, restaurants, and local shops. Transport links include the 170 bus, Thames Clipper at Plantation Wharf, and Clapham Junction station.<br/><br/>Bonheur is a much-loved home, ready to welcome new custodians to enjoy its unique charm and riverside lifestyle.
