Property Details
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
FULL DESCRIPTION
From derelict barn to beautifully renovated farmhouse & gite, the current owner has created both a successful business and a home with real wow-factor. There are hiking & biking trails from the doorstep, swimming lakes with sandy beaches nearby, and pretty market towns to explore. This is an area that is increasingly being 'discovered' for its natural beauty, tranquility and favourable climate. If you like warm summers and snowy winters, this is an excellent area to consider.
While the main house and gite are adjoining, there is plenty of privacy for both owner and guests. There are separate lawns for each end of the building and planning has been approved to convert the attic and create a deck along the garden-side of the house.
There is the option to include the majority of the furniture as part of the purchase, which might be particularly important should the new owner wish to continue the gite business. Whether you are looking for a private home, or well-established business, the new owner can simply move in, get comfortable and enjoy exploring the neighbourhood.
As part of the renovation work, the property has been re-wired, insulated, double-glazed, electric heating installed and the gite has under floor heating. There's a total of 298m² habitable space, spread across both properties. Here's the current layout:
Farmhouse
Ground floor
Open-plan kitchen / sitting-room / dining room with stone walls, open beams & inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove.
Cloakroom
Laundry room
First floor
Landing with reading area (potential for desk / small office space)
Master bedroom
Bedroom 2
Bathroom with separate bath and shower
Barn Conversion / Gite
The gite is predominantly all on one level and is suitable for wheelchair access. There is a private deck area of 24m².
Open-plan kitchen / living / dining area with vaulted ceiling & french doors to deck.
Bedroom 3
Bathroom
Laundry room
First floor
Mezzanine with office, storage & games area
Bedroom 4 with ensuite bathroom with shower and bath
Outside:
The garden is a manageable 3000m² but the views that stretch across the wooded valley give the impression of a much larger space. A stream runs along the bottom of the garden, a weeping willow and fruit trees are dotted around the grounds and outbuildings that were originally a piggery and bread oven offer the potential to create perhaps an artist's studio, potting shed or additional gite. There is plenty space to install a pool, however, most locals pop over to the beautiful lakes near by to cool off in the summer months. Cold-water swimming being an increasingly popular past-time, there's certainly plenty of opportunity to do that here!
Location:
With no near neighbours, the house is secluded, but by no means isolated. The village bar and tennis court is a 500m stroll from the house, but the main amenities can be found 6km away in Bugeat.
Bugeat is a vibrant little town that is well-maintained and buzzy. There is a good range of amenities including an excellent boulangerie, a selection of restaurants, butcher, post office, two doctors surgeries, a bank, supermarket and, of course, a cafe that is a particularly good spot to sit and watch the world go by on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month when the market comes to town.
Rural France is not renowned for its public transport network, but in Bugeat there is a train station that opens up rail connections to Limoges, the airport and Paris and Bordeaux beyond. The nearby market towns of Eymoutiers, Meymac and Ussel are all beautiful with a good selection of independent shops and restaurants. Each well worth a visit, and all easily accessible via the train connection.
This area is renowned for its beautiful lakes and woodlands and there are plenty of hiking and biking trails to explore. Nearby Lake Bariousses ideal for kayak and paddle board adventures and is the perfect spot for picnics. There is also a lake side restaurant. While Lake Viam is a well-stocked fishing lake. The summer months are vibrant. Spring through to autumn, the calendar is full of get-togethers, cultural and gastronomic events including the Mondiere races, markets, bbqs, concerts and brocantes.
At an altitude of 725m, you can expect summer days to reach temperatures of 30-34 degrees celsius but the evenings will cool off sufficiently to allow for a comfortable nights sleep. Spring and Autumn are a profusion of colour as the wooded valleys transform as the season dictates. Winter is quiet and peaceful and you are likely to see snow. The nearest down-hill ski-slopes are just an hour away, but there is a cross country ski centre just 20 mins away at Bonnefond.

LOCAL AREA
The Correze is a department of the Aquitaine-Limousin-Poitou-Cherentes region of France and is partly covered by the Millevaches Regional Nature Park with its total surface being 5 857 sq. km. Correze has several different landscapes such as moorland, gorges, valleys as well as forests. Full of traditional towns and unspoilt countryside It comes as no surprise that five of France's Prettiest Villages ''plus beaux villages de France‘(Collonges-la-Rouge, Curemonte, Saint-Robert, Ségur-le-Château and Turenne) are located in Correze- but don't tell anyone because its undiscovered charm is part of the appeal!
