Property details

Nestled in the heart of the Haute Vienne countryside, close to Limoges, this is a rare opportunity to purchase a modern, comfortable property surrounded by nearly 5 hectares of woodland. Included in this unique offering is a 2.25-hectare commercial fishery, known for its exceptional water quality and one of the best collections of catfish in France, featuring over 100 of these magnificent creatures. Alongside the catfish, the lake boasts an impressive head of carp, with the current lake record standing at 77 lbs. These majestic fish thrive together in this natural habitat, with new lake records consistently being set each year.

The modern bungalow has undergone extensive renovations and offers 116 m² of comfortable living space. It features an open-plan lounge, kitchen, and dining area, with French doors that lead out onto a sun terrace, providing stunning views of the surrounding forest. The bungalow includes three double bedrooms, a bathroom with a toilet, and an office, all nestled in a tranquil setting with no overlooking neighbors and surrounded by a garden and forest.

Approximately 300 meters down a gravel track, you will find the stunning 2.25-hectare lake, which offers complete privacy and access around its perimeter?part by vehicle and part by foot. The lake is laid out with four swims and is equipped with a chalet that includes cooking facilities, a shower, and a separate toilet. While not operated as a full-time business, the lake is currently rented out for exclusive use during the summer for euros1,200 per week. The owners choose how many weeks to allow, but there is potential to establish a lucrative full-time fishing business, offering full packages or 'drive-and-survive' options for at least 20 to 25 weeks a year, given the local climate and long summers.

From a business perspective, the lake is fully stocked with an impressive catfish population, with some individuals weighing well over 100 lbs. Additionally, there is a healthy head of carp, with specimens reaching up to 77 lbs. The lake is entirely natural, maintaining a good flow of water year-round and optimal oxygen levels without the need for aerators. The abundance of natural food sources is reflected in the quality of the fish, with catfish and carp cohabitating and records continuously being broken. This lake is truly a fisherman's dream and stands out among the many lakes sold over the past 20 years, thanks to its incredible settings.

The property is conveniently located near Limoges and the Limoges airport, with excellent access from the A20 motorway in central France.
