Description
Rare opportunity to acquire a 35 acres freehold farm in a beautiful environment.
This 14 hectare (35 acres) farm is set on the edge of a small rural hamlet between Rochechouart and Vayres in the beautiful Perigord Limousin Regional National Park and benefits from glorious views of the attractive surrounding countryside. The farm comprises a large 5 bedroomed farmhouse, a huge stone barn, 2 open hangars, commercial area comprising a butchery preparation area with walk-in cold fridge store and shop, various small farm outbuildings and above ground swimming pool. Up until recently this was a working farm raising beef cattle, sheep, poultry and pigs and selling products direct to clients from the farm shop.
The land was mainly used for grazing but there is a small parcel of woodland and a parcel of land for growing crops. The land is mainly fenced and could be used for a variety of projects, ideal for horses or alpacas for example.
The main farmhouse offers in excess of 300m2 of versatile living accommodation over 2 floors. On the ground floor there is a large kitchen with a pantry, utility room, shower room, 2 spacious lounges, a second kitchen, bathroom and toilet. On the first floor there are 4 good sized bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and an impressive master suite comprising a spacious 5th bedroom with dressing room and bathroom. The layout of the house and the ease of access to the various rooms means that either the house can be used for a large family home or for offering letting rooms on a bed and breakfast basis or could be separated into 2 units and rented out as a gite.
The farmhouse has been renovated however many of the original features have been preserved and the house feels very authentic. There are lovely wooden floors, beams, stone flagged floors, wooden doors, fireplaces etc.
In addition to one side of the farmhouse there are the commercial rooms previously used as a meat preparation area with walkin cold room and shop - there are rooms above this commercial area that could also be renovated. Depending on your project these rooms could easily be transformed into accommodation to provide a further gite.
The house is on a septic tank and is connected to mains water and electricity. The house has recently been insulated to a good standard. The windows are mainly double glazed. Several of the rooms have attractive fireplaces with wood burning stoves one of which has a back boiler that runs both the central heating system and hot water if you wish, making it an economical house to heat. Despite being in a rural location there is good internet connectivity.
The courtyard and garden area have lovely views looking over the surrounding countryside, a truly lovely spot to relax and enjoy a cup of tea or glass of wine.
There is a large collection of outbuildings clustered around the farm house. The huge stone barn is in good condition. All the outbuildings have been properly maintained and are in a good condition.
This property is located within a few minutes drive of Oradour sur Vayres and Rochechouart where there is a good range of amenities including supermarkets, restaurants, bars, schools, doctors etc. Limoges international airport is approximately a 40 minute drive.
