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.

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. Currently the annexe is used at the garden level as a salon/dining room with a fully fitted kitchen (15m) and utility area with a separated storeroom and WC. Lots of seating space outside to take advantage of the magnificent vistas at the rear of the property. 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. A large window faces the front which ensures the living room is light and gives a spacious impression. There are 2 reversible heat pumps that service the living room, and the kitchen has its own reversible unit too. Beyond the living room is a fully fitted kitchen also with access to the terrace and rear garden. Behind the kitchen, a corridor leads to a utility room, a downstairs shower room and separate WC. Upstairs on the first floor a spacious mezzanine area overlooking the garden is used as an office/snug, television room. A corridor behind leads to 3 bedrooms and 2 shower rooms and then on the 2nd floor, there are 2 other bedrooms with their own high spec shower rooms. 3 out of 5 of these bedrooms in the main house could be rented without impeding on the owner’s accommodation at all, since those are accessible via a side entrance to the house and a lockable section inside. The 4th rental bedroom opportunity is the 1st floor of the separate, annexe. The house layout would easily facilitate adapting with no expense to connect as one large family home if you don’t wish to rent any rooms. 3 bedrooms have electric radiators while 2 have sockets for installation of an electric radiator.
