Property details

Set deep within a vast forest and accessed via its own private driveway, just 30 minutes from Limoges and 20 minutes from Saint-Junien, in the heart of the picturesque Haute-Vienne?often described as France's hidden lake district?this exceptional and completely secluded property offers a rare opportunity to own a truly peaceful retreat.

Nestled within 11 hectares of private woodland, the property features two natural fishing lakes, authorised for commercial fishing and fish breeding until 2033. A modern lakeside home sits in perfect harmony with its surroundings, overlooking the main lake and offering uninterrupted, ever-changing views across the water.

Bathed in sunlight, the spacious terrace invites long, tranquil days spent watching wildlife, listening to birdsong, and observing fish glide beneath the surface. The house is arranged over two levels, with a large open-plan living area, kitchen, and an impressive open fireplace, all opening through French doors onto the terrace. A bathroom with WC completes this level.

On the lower level, the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom opens directly onto the lakeside, alongside a second generous room that could easily be transformed into an additional bedroom, also benefiting from direct access to the water.

A substantial wooden garage, already equipped with electricity and running water, offers excellent potential?subject to the necessary permissions?to be converted into a fisherman's cabin or guest accommodation.

This property is all about outdoor living and total tranquillity. With no nearby neighbours, peace and privacy are absolute. The approach is simply magical: a private lane winds through the forest, passing the lower lake before revealing the main lake and the house beyond. The gentle sound of flowing water and the occasional splash of wild carp create an atmosphere that feels worlds away from everyday life.

Owned privately since its construction in the mid-1970s, the lakes have never been commercially fished, preserving their natural beauty and charm.

Some updating will be required, including a new septic system, and future works to bring the lakes in line with current regulations once the existing licence expires. However, this only enhances the opportunity to personalise and further elevate an already remarkable setting.

For those seeking complete peace, privacy, and immersion in nature, this is not just a property?it is a sanctuary.
