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.

Nestled in a quiet hamlet in Correze, in the Nouvelle Aquitaine region of France you will find this real gem of a property. It consists of a main house with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, while alongside there is a newly converted separate annexe.

The 1st floor of the annexe has separate access via a stone staircase outside to another double bedroom with a high-quality en suite shower room. It has a reversible air/heating unit in the bedroom The use of this beautiful, converted building is very flexible. At present the owners use the building as a space for BnB guests (a future owner would need to obtain necessary permission and appropriate business registration to continue this type of activity), however this building is versatile and could easily change into a yoga room/studio/gallery, or spacious (38m) extra accommodation. A wood-burning stove makes the space really cozy. There is a reversible heat pump (hot/cold) in the living room and another in the hallway. The main house downstairs, has a large bright open plan living/dining room (partly double height) with a cozy stone fireplace and wood burning stove and sliding doors out to the back terrace and garden where you have a perfect spot to eat and entertain guests.
