A maison de maître for sale in Corrèze can be spotted from afar by its hipped slate roof, its granite or red sandstone walls and its heavy chimney stacks: this is the residence that merchants, magistrates and traders of Tulle, Brive and the Dordogne valley had built for themselves. Our section goes further: it gathers all the fine residences of Corrèze, gentilhommières, bourgeois houses and contemporary villas opening onto the countryside, as soon as the living space exceeds 300 m² or the price approaches a million euros, provided the property is neither a chateau, nor a manor house, nor a historic monument. Browse here the maisons de maître and fine residences for sale offered by private owners, agencies and notaries.
On this page you will find the price benchmarks recorded for the large residences of Corrèze, the profile of the properties currently on offer, the particularities of Limousin buildings, the areas where supply is concentrated and the checks to make before signing, notably on granite, roofing and the shores of the reservoirs. To prepare each stage, rely on our guide to buying prestige property in France.
Maisons de maître form the core of the segment tracked by our observatory: houses with more than 300 m² of living space on 0.05 to 10 ha, sold above €1,000 per m², recorded in the DVF database of the French tax administration. These benchmarks frame the market for large residences without describing it entirely: a small village bourgeois house or a chateau sold with 30 ha of parkland fall outside this scope.
The local market is too thin to publish a reliable department-level benchmark (17 sales in five years): we give the figures for the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Across the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, the 2025 median stands at €615,000 (171 sales), against €822,000 in France in 2025 (981 sales).
| Scope | Sales | Median price | Floor – ceiling (P10–P90) | €/m² living space (median) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nouvelle-Aquitaine (2025) | 171 | €615,000 | €400,000 – €1,480,000 | 1,692 |
| France (2025) | 981 | €822,000 | €428,000 – €3,100,000 | 2,308 |

Granite dominates on the plateau and around Ussel; in the Brive basin, the red sandstone of Collonges and Turenne tints façades with the warm tone recognised throughout the region. The most typical maisons de maître line up five or six bays under a hipped slate roof, with front steps, corner quoins and sometimes a stair turret inherited from the neighbouring gentilhommière. Inside, you find oak parquet floors, stone fireplaces and panelling. On the limestone plateau around Brive, the residences turn paler, built in limestone under tile roofs.
The outbuildings make up much of the overall value: stone service buildings, a bread oven, a dovecote, a barn converted into a studio or reception room, a caretaker's cottage, and grounds planted with beech, lime or chestnut trees. On the contemporary side, the supply consists of large architect-designed houses in timber and glass set on south-facing slopes, and villas on the outskirts of Brive and Tulle, with a pool and pool house, sometimes with a view over the Dordogne gorges.
The Brive-la-Gaillarde basin, with Malemort, Varetz and Larche, offers the widest choice of bourgeois houses and properties set in grounds, close to the motorways and the station. The Dordogne valley, from Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne to Argentat, attracts buyers who want the river, villages of red stone or granite and viewpoints over the gorges. Around Tulle and Uzerche, notables' houses occupy the slopes above the Corrèze and Vézère rivers, at more moderate prices. Upper Corrèze, from Ussel to Meymac on the Millevaches plateau, offers large granite houses, more affordable and surrounded by forest.
There is no TGV station in the department: rail access is through Brive-la-Gaillarde, served by Intercités trains to Paris and Toulouse. The A20 and A89 motorways link Brive and Tulle to Limoges, Bordeaux, Clermont-Ferrand and Toulouse, and a regional airport lies near Brive, which makes Corrèze less remote than many buyers expect. Tulle, the prefecture of the department, also has a station on the regional network, while the Vézère valley is reached in a short drive.
The granite bedrock of the Limousin exposes much of the department to radon: the seller must provide information on this risk in the natural-hazards report, and testing followed by suitable ventilation is advisable in the cellars and ground floors of old residences. Granite is durable but lets damp rise by capillarity through thick walls, while the slate of large roofs and the chestnut or oak roof timbers call for inspection before any offer. Around the protected villages of lower Corrèze, the surroundings of listed buildings require the opinion of the architecte des Bâtiments de France for façades, joinery and swimming pools.
Near the Dordogne reservoirs, as at Bort-les-Orgues or Argentat, check the easements linked to water levels, the building rules on lakeshores and the flood zoning. For a recent villa, ask for the completion certificates, the ten-year warranty still running and the permits for the pool, then have a specialist estimate the cost of insulating the large roofs.
