luxury houses for sale Corrèze, France (page 2)

A 16th-century seigneurial house with a tree-dotted garden and a clear view of its bucolic surroundings, nestled in a village in France’s Corrèze department. Once you have gone through the medieval village’s alleys and squares, you reach its south edge where the towering 12th-century Saint-Pierre church stands. The property lies opposite this church. The Château de Vassinhac stands nearby too. This edifice dates back to the 15th century and is listed as a historical monument. The family to whom the seigneurial house currently belongs also owns this chateau. Outbuildings once separated the two edifices, but they were destroyed in the 19th century. From the road, a wrought-iron gate leads into the property. This entrance gate is framed between two pillars. Low walls adjoin the pillars and enclose the house and its garden, separating the property from the road and giving it privacy. Another gate leads in from the lane on the east side and takes you into a large area where several vehicles can be parked discreetly in the shade of trees. The house has a garden-level floor, a raised ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in its roof space. The dwelling forms an L shape and is made up of two sections with solid bases. The seigneurial majesty of this fine edifice finds expression in its tall elevations of exposed red sandstone that characterises the whole village, in its large windows with small square panes, and in its sculpted surrounds and lintels. An imposing hipped slate roof crowns the house. Lichen has grown on it over time, giving the roof a certain tint. Two monumental three-level chimney stacks of red sandstone rise up from the roof on its east and north sides. And shed dormers punctuate the tall roof harmoniously. On the south side, a stone staircase takes you up to a terrace. From this terrace, French windows lead straight into the house’s raised ground floor. You can look down at the home’s landscaped garden from up here too and gaze beyond it at a vast meadow edged with a building and hedges that stretch towards the surrounding hills.

(2) Extract from the Dordogne Valley website Installed on a promontory, the village of Turenne and its region benefited from capital privileges. Following the remarriage of Eleanor of Aquitaine with the future King of England, a Franco-English war tore the region apart for three centuries. Saint Louis, to keep a French foothold in this 'English' part, decided to give the viscount of Turenne sovereign rights which made the viscount a state within a state. Turenne was also a refuge for Protestants during the wars of religion.

An 18th century presbytery, garden and swimming pool in a small peaceful village between Haut Quercy and Corrèze. Built on a steep slope in a commanding position over the village, the generously proportioned presbytery is a jewel of Correze architecture dating back to 1764. Nestling in a green setting, it is flanked by terraces that insulate it from any noise. The church is opposite, on the other side of a small square with an obelisk-shaped war memorial. There is a view of the old castle, as was typical in villages of yesteryear, where the two powers, both religious and mortal shared the same space. This was provided, however, that there was a large enough community to support the parish priest. This was clearly the case here, where the presbytery, a symbol of religious power, dominates the mortal power from all its height, as is reinforced by the impressive dimensions of its roof, which was completely refitted recently and which is still under a ten-year guarantee. This is a huge advantage for any buyer who will have to manage such a large roof area in the future. Probably originally built in an opus incertum manner and plastered to give it a more noble appearance, the facade is now covered with a huge Virginia creeper, emphasising the impression that the entire building is part of the surrounding nature. The house is accessed via two terraced gardens with a path leading up to them. The lower garden opens onto a grassy esplanade, while the upper garden, which has more trees and plants, must have once had a vegetable garden and the parish priest's garden, and which are just waiting to see better days again. To enter we pass through a single-leaf gate with a modest, low wrought-iron base. As visitors go through they will be sure to want to ring the bell hanging from the ancient metal belfry, which is just crying out to be rung. The path branches off to the right and leads to the swimming pool.

A 19-hectare lake, an inn with sweeping views, and an old watermill, nestled in countryside between Limoges and Brive-la-Gaillarde. From above, the property stands out for its lake, size and preserved natural environment. A dyke hides the watermill, which stands just below the secondary road that runs past it. The watermill is nestled beside an old ironmaster’s house. The dyke separates the watermill from the vast lake. On the other side of the road, opposite the old ironmaster’s house, there is a traditional stone house that was built at the start of the 20th century in the local Périgord style. It is crowned with a roof of flat tiles. This stone house has been turned into a charming inn with a tree-dotted garden. It is still used as an inn and its commercial lease ends in March 2027. The 19-hectare lake, supplied with water from a river, appears on the Cassini Map – the first detailed map of the entire kingdom of France, produced in the 18th century. The lake stretches from north to south and has kept its original shape. When the ironwork activities here came to an end in the 1960s, a dam was built, creating a reservoir of around 600,000m³. This reservoir was initially used to supply water for the watermill, which lies downstream from the dam. The lake is known as an excellent spot for waterskiing. In fact, its is so famous for this sport that global waterskiing championships have been held here. A waterskiing clubhouse, open during summer months, and different facilities dedicated to waterskiing complete the property. The whole property covers 24 hectares and includes water, buildings and lakeside banks.

A 17th-century manor house, its outbuildings and 21 hectares of grounds between Limoges and Brive. A lime tree lined driveway off the road towards Pompadour leads to the elongated residence, which comes into view behind a plane tree of the same age. The caretaker's house is hidden by greenery and its terrace overlooks the garden. To the right of the perimeter wall that encloses the property, an orangery and a corner turret complete the picture in a harmonious blend of shapes and materials. The history of the house goes back to 1639, when it was decided to build a forge that would in fact produce up to 30 tonnes of steel a year for two centuries. The house also served as a hunting lodge for an eminent family, member of the court of King Louis XIII. Finally, in 1907, the property became a place of creative writing and education, which has influenced generations of readers to this day. This Périgord-style, flat-tiled residence is three storeys high. Its double facade is punctuated by numerous large, small-paned windows and glass doors, illuminating the interior and providing direct access to the outdoors. Each opening has retained its solid or louvered wooden shutters. The main facade, on the east side, faces the parkland; at its centre, a double wooden door topped by a tiled canopy opens onto a hallway with the start of a staircase. The western facade overlooks a former water mill a few metres below.

A 19th century, modernised “barn-cowshed”, with 4 hectares, on the heights of the Plateau-de-Millevaches in the Limousin region. Off a secondary road, a country lane runs alongside the estate’s woods for some 300 metres before reaching the entrance gates. A driveway, planted with evergreen oak trees, leads to a car parking area for up to 8 cars. Bearing witness to the know-how of local builders (those masons who left the Limousin region to go and build in Paris and Bordeaux), this robust, rural building, constructed from granite for farming purposes, is 50 metres long. It has a continuous roof extending over the house, the barn and the cowsheds. It stands in 4 ha of parklands, entirely enclosed by fencing; one is taken up by a copse, whilst the three others are a mixture of landscape garden, moorland and meadows.
