luxury farmhouses for sale Limousin, France

A house with a fishpond and barn, meadows, woodland and two ponds, on 4 hectares of land, 20 minutes south of Limoges, in a 17th-century hamlet. A discreet driveway leads from a country road to the property. The main house and barn belong to a small hamlet that was gradually built between the 14th and 17th centuries. It is partially listed as a historical monument since 1996. The property is made up of a tower, main building and several outbuildings. The house and barn, which are for sale with the fishpond, woodland, meadows and ponds, occupy the same plots of land as the outbuildings located to the north and east of the shared communal courtyard. The various buildings are made of stone, with rectangular windows and gabled or hipped roofs made of flat tiles.

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.
