Live the Quiet Life – renovated stone home with private lake and lots of potential
Looking for a peaceful place in the French countryside with space, privacy, loads of potential….and a lake? This charming property in the Haute-Vienne might just tick all the boxes. It’s tucked away on the edge of a forest, just a couple of minutes from a village with all the everyday essentials — shops, school, café — and it sits right where the Limousin meets the Dordogne, so you’ve got the best of both worlds when it comes to scenery and lifestyle.
The main house is a lovely old stone home that’s been restored, so you can move straight in. Entering through the sunny conservatory/porch, you will find the heart of the house - a large, open-plan living space that combines the kitchen, dining, and lounge area. It’s bright, welcoming, and full of charm, with a recently installed pellet burner to keep things cosy in the cooler months. Also on the ground floor there is a bedroom, a bathroom with corner bath, and a small extra room that could be used as an office or maybe a child’s bedroom.
Upstairs, you’ll find two large, bright bedrooms (with roof windows letting in loads of natural light), another bathroom with a shower and WC and a pleasant seating area – perfect for a home office or space to get away from it all.
Outside, there’s lovely raised patio with an above ground pool set into it - perfect for morning coffee or evening glasses of wine. The garden is well looked after, with a little stream running past the house — and yes, there are even some fish in it.
There’s a massive stone barn in good condition with water and electricity, plus more large barns that could use some updating. If you’re looking for land that’s truly suited to horses or other animals, this property offers the perfect setup. The fields are directly accessible from the barns, and you can see the land clearly from the house — ideal for keeping an eye on things without needing to leave the garden.
The landscape is mainly open pasture, perfect for grazing, and beyond the grazing land lies the beautiful, spring-fed lake. It’s approximately 2.5 acres and varies in depth from around 1 metre to nearly 4 metres at its deepest point and there is a lakeside cabin. It’s home to a healthy population of carp, which have been carefully nurtured over the years. An aeration system keeps the water fresh year-round, and a drainage system is already in place, making it easy to manage. Adjacent to the lake is a stock pond.
Whether you’re a fishing enthusiast, a horse lover, someone looking for space to breathe, or simply after a slice of the quiet life surrounded by nature, this land has a lot to offer — and it really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.
It’s just a couple of minutes to the nearest village, and you’re well-placed for travel with Limoges airport a 35 minute drive away.
All in all, it’s a property that offers a lot - definitely one to come and see for yourself!

If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
