manor for sale Varetz, France

It is in the heart of the southwest of Corrèze, in the hollow of a peaceful village where time seems suspended, that an exceptional property appears almost secret. About 25 minutes from Brive la Gaillarde, this superb property is revealed: an 18th-century manor house, fully restored with care. The whole, hidden behind high stone walls, offers a rare intimacy. Crossing the large stone arch, adorned with an imposing oak-studded door; there, in this courtyard bathed in light, the enchantment is immediate: the stones patinated by time, the flowers, the trees... everything evokes the sweetness of life. It is a refuge, a timeless setting; where every detail tells a story. Recently carefully restored by its owner, a professional designer, this residence has regained all its splendor while respecting the original noble materials. Upon entering, the main door opens onto a ceramic floor, an elegant oak staircase and a generous light that bathes each room of the house. The living room unfolds in all its splendor in a setting of herringbone parquet flooring, enhanced by an elegant marble fireplace. The high ceilings crowned with delicate woodwork accentuate the grandeur of the space, which is bathed in light thanks to large cross-windows. We then pass through the kitchen - modern in its design while retaining an authentic charm, with its stone and wood inglenook fireplace, its exposed oak beams, and a contemporary touch brought by the polished concrete floor. The space here opens onto the life of the house: on one side, the courtyard at the front; on the other, the countryside that extends to the rear. We continue the visit in a living room bathed in conviviality, the true heart of the house designed to welcome family and friends in a setting that is at once warm, comfortable and contemporary. This open-plan living space seduces with its harmonious layout: a custom-made kitchen area with a large central island, a cozy lounge area, all highlighted by exposed beams full of character and a wood-burning stove that invites relaxation. Large windows let in natural light, while a door gives direct access to the courtyard at the front of the house. The first floor is accessed via two separate staircases located at each end, leading to the first floor where four spacious bedrooms are revealed, all with their own private bathroom. Like the rest of the house, each has been restored with deep respect for noble materials, in a spirit of authenticity and softness. From each window, the gaze happily loses itself on the back of the property: a bucolic garden, a discreet wood and the surrounding countryside cradling the horizon. On the second floor, accessing the vast attic, you will once again be impressed by the generous volumes and space offered by this house. Currently used for storage, this space boasts a splendid roof structure and great potential. The outbuildings are in good condition, and the large barn is beautiful and full of potential. Words fail to do justice to the beauty of this home and the serenity of its surroundings. Only a visit will allow you to fully grasp its magic!
