Property details

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ DESCRIPTION AS THIS CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Situated just a five-minute drive from the town of Bessines-sur-Gartempe, in the heart of the Haute-Vienne countryside, this small fishing lake of approximately 6,000 m² offers a peaceful and natural setting.

Fish Stock
According to the owner, the lake contains carp and a selection of silver fish, although the exact stock levels are unknown. The stock is included with the lake but is not taken into account in the valuation.

Planning and Land Classification
It is important to understand that the lake is situated in an N Zone (Natural Zone). This means that no permanent construction can be built on the land. Mobile homes, caravans, or similar vehicles cannot be left on the site all year round. However, it is permitted to camp or to use a camping car or caravan while staying on the site.

Licence and Compliance
The lake is declared, but the original 30-year licence expired in 2019. In order to regularise the lake and bring it back into full compliance, the new owner would be expected to carry out an environmental water study, which typically costs around euros2,000. Following this study, further work of up to approximately euros10,000 may be required to meet current standards before a new 30-year licence can be issued. Much of the major work has already been completed, and the remaining requirement is the installation of a siphon system.

Water Source
The lake is spring fed and also benefits from a small source that flows into it during the winter period. The outlet returns water back into the Gartempe River.

Opportunity
This is an attractive opportunity for someone looking for a private fishing lake in a quiet rural location, with the potential to offer simple ?drive and survive' fishing stays for up to two fishermen. The property has been priced accordingly to reflect the remaining works required to bring the lake fully into conformity. (11.11 % fees incl. VAT at the buyer's expense.)
