Smallholding comprising barns, watermill and house for sale set in a truly tranquil location.
This secluded, south-facing property is situated at the end of a lane with no passing traffic and has
extensive gardens, orchard and pretty one hectare meadow overlooking a wooded valley.
The property comprises two dwellings ready
for immediate occupancy. To be included in the sale is a separate property for total renovation comprising a water mill and adjoining
house.
With two dwellings ready for immediate occupancy, plus the potential in the mill, this would be a perfect investment for further development.
The barn conversion
The barn conversion has masses of character, with exposed beams and stonework. Being constructed on the side of a hill, it has
the benefit of having entrances on both the ground floor and the first floor.
With approx 100 m2 of open-plan living space on three
storeys it comprises;
utility room, shower room and toilet, fitted kitchen, dining area, 45 m2 leisure area and mezzanine bedroom.
The house
The house has 148 m2 of living space on three storeys and comprises;
three bedrooms, two bathrooms, sitting room, snug, dining room
and separate fitted fitchen.
Unconverted barn
A separate barn with five 'window' openings has further scope for conversion.
House and watermill
Also included in the sale is a house and watermill for complete renovation. A lot of work needs to be
done, although there is the potential to create a unique home in a very pretty waterside setting.
The first thing a visitor hears
on arrival is the sound of water as it cascades over moss-covered rocks. However, there is NEVER the possibility of flooding, as
the buildings are situated on a gentle slope, 15 /20 ft above the trout stream.
Location
Although the properties enjoy a very high degree of privacy, they are not isolated. A small village general store, baker, post office, school and pharmacy are within a couple of minutes. Supermarket shopping is twenty minutes away, and Limoges airport is just an hour away.
Apart from farming and forestry there is very little industry in this part of France. The beautiful landscape is full of wildlife, and consists of rolling hills and many hectares of woodland.
Above all, it is safe to roam freely, and there is a noticable lack of crime.
The Creuse is also well known throughout France for its number of rivers and lakes. The perfect location for a keen fisherman! The popular tourist attraction of Lake Vassiviére (similar to Windermere but with sunshine!) is nearby. This vast expanse of water with its sandy beaches, safe swimming, boating, fishing and picnic areas has something for all the family.
General
The annual taxes on these properties are 800 euros.
As this is a private sale there will NOT be an agency fee - These fees can increase the price of a property by up to eight percent.
