From derelict barn to beautifully renovated farmhouse & gite, the current owner has created both a successful business and a home with real wow-factor. There are hiking & biking trails from the doorstep, swimming lakes with sandy beaches nearby, and pretty market towns to explore. This is an area that is increasingly being 'discovered' for its natural beauty, tranquility and favourable climate. If you like warm summers and snowy winters, this is an excellent area to consider.While the main house and gite are adjoining, there is plenty of privacy for both owner and guests. There are separate lawns for each end of the building and planning has been approved to convert the attic and create a deck along the garden-side of the house.There is the option to include the majority of the furniture as part of the purchase, which might be particularly important should the new owner wish to continue the gite business. Whether you are looking for a private home, or well-established business, the new owner can simply move in, get comfortable and enjoy exploring the neighbourhood.As part of the renovation work, the property has been re-wired, insulated, double-glazed, electric heating installed and the gite has under floor heating.

A stream runs along the bottom of the garden, a weeping willow and fruit trees are dotted around the grounds and outbuildings that were originally a piggery and bread oven offer the potential to create perhaps an artist's studio, potting shed or additional gite. There is plenty space to install a pool, however, most locals pop over to the beautiful lakes near by to cool off in the summer months. Cold-water swimming being an increasingly popular past-time, there's certainly plenty of opportunity to do that here!Location:With no near neighbours, the house is secluded, but by no means isolated. The village bar and tennis court is a 500m stroll from the house, but the main amenities can be found 6km away in Bugeat.Bugeat is a vibrant little town that is well-maintained and buzzy.

Spring and Autumn are a profusion of colour as the wooded valleys transform as the season dictates. Winter is quiet and peaceful and you are likely to see snow. The nearest down-hill ski-slopes are just an hour away, but there is a cross country ski centre just 20 mins away at Bonnefond.At a glance:Bedrooms: 4Bathrooms: 4Receptions: 2Habitable space: 298m2Plot size: 3000m2Taxe fonciere: €1489DPE rating: EBroadband: FibreHeating: Wood-burners & electric heatingDrainage: Septic tank (installed 2018)Neighbours: DistantDistance to shops: bar/ cafe 500m.

The lock-keeper's cottage. If only it were still a viable profession when living here was one of the perks of the job! With 4 acres of wonderful riverside parkland, huge, light-filled rooms and plenty of original features, obviously some redecoration required, but this could be something really special.The key part of lock keeper's job was to guide the Armagnac traders safely through the locks with their precious cargo, making sure not a single drop of the amber liquid was lost:.. a very important role indeed! The house is in good structural condition and, whilst wallpaper on the ceiling is now somewhat out of fashion, it doesn't need too much imagination to envisage the transformation a relatively simple make-over could have.There are 4 bedrooms, 3 of which are 30m2!
