Luxury farmhouses for sale Faux-la-Montagne, France

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.
