Property details

If you've ever dreamed of owning a beautiful stone farmhouse in the French countryside, with plenty of space, character, your own lake and room for a few animals, then this wonderful property might just be what you've been looking for!

Situated in a peaceful little village, just 10 minutes from the beautiful Lac de Saint-Pardoux, this impressive traditional stone farmhouse offers 255m² of habitable living space, approximately 1.2 hectares of attached land, a delightful private lake and a fantastic collection of traditional stone outbuildings.

Lovingly maintained and ready to move straight into, the house combines everything we love about traditional French properties ? exposed stone walls, magnificent wooden beams, original fireplaces and beautiful stone door surrounds ? with the comforts of modern living.

From the moment you step through the front door, the character of this lovely home is immediately apparent. A magnificent entrance hall, with its exposed oak beams, original stone doorways and beautiful staircase, sets the scene for what is to come.

The ground floor offers a wonderfully spacious dining room, currently providing a versatile living and working area, together with a lovely fitted kitchen where modern units blend beautifully with the original wooden beams and rustic character of the house.

The lounge is particularly charming and is somewhere you can easily imagine spending cosy winter evenings. With its exposed stone walls, beautiful original fireplace, wood-burning stove and ancient bread oven, it really is the heart of this lovely home. There is also a workshop/boiler room and a ground-floor WC with shower.

Upstairs, the sense of space continues, with six generous double bedrooms, many featuring exposed wooden beams and lovely views over the surrounding countryside. Three bathrooms with WCs provide plenty of facilities for family and guests, with the renovated shower rooms offering a lovely modern contrast to the traditional character of the property.

And if 255m² of living space isn't quite enough, there is also a huge attic offering further conversion potential, subject to the necessary permissions. With six bedrooms already in place, the property would make a fantastic family home or could offer possibilities for a bed and breakfast or other small hospitality venture.

Another real advantage of this property is its energy efficiency. The house benefits from double glazing throughout, an efficient heating system and solar panels providing hot water and electricity, with surplus electricity sold back to the grid. According to the current owners, the annual electricity cost is just over euros1,000, which is particularly impressive for a house of this size.

But as lovely as the house is, the outside is just as special!

To the front, a traditional courtyard is complemented by a magnificent large stone barn, a garage and several additional outbuildings, offering excellent space for vehicles, storage, workshops or hobbies.

There is also a former goat shed with animal accommodation, making this property particularly interesting for anyone dreaming of a smallholding or keeping a few animals.

To the rear of the farmhouse, a lovely raised wooden terrace provides a wonderful place for outdoor dining, relaxing with friends or simply enjoying the peace and quiet. From here, you can admire the surrounding countryside, mature trees and beautiful natural setting.

The attached land extends to approximately 1.2 hectares, including open meadow bordered by woodland, providing a lovely environment for animals, gardening or simply enjoying the outdoors. For anyone with a couple of horses or a desire for a more self-sufficient lifestyle, the possibilities are certainly appealing.

And then there is the lake!

Surrounded by mature trees and natural greenery, this delightful stretch of water adds something truly special to the property. Imagine enjoying a quiet morning beside the water, watching the changing seasons or simply appreciating having such a beautiful natural feature as part of your own home.

Despite its peaceful rural setting, the property is only around 10 minutes from the popular Lac de Saint-Pardoux, renowned for its beautiful scenery and outdoor leisure activities.

What makes this property so appealing is that it offers much more than just a large house. It offers a lifestyle ? space for the whole family, room for animals, beautiful countryside, traditional French character and the comfort of a home that is ready to enjoy.

Whether you're looking for a permanent family residence, a wonderful country retreat or somewhere to develop a small business, this is a property with enormous appeal.
