Equestrian Centre with 3 Gîtes, 24.1ha

Property Description

This equestrian and gîte complex is set in the pretty green Limousin countryside. It looks out over a valley decorated with lines of oaks and containing a large communal lake with excellent fishing for carp, trout, eel, pike etc..
The main house dates from before 1750 and shows many original features: interior walls in fine stone or timber with brick in-fill, oak doors and beams. Current accommodation of approx. 170m² is on the ground floor and there is the possibility of converting the similar area first floor which is reached by a fine oak staircase. There is space for 4/5 bedrooms with en-suites which might be operated as a B&B business.
In addition to the main house there are 3 gîtes: a separate farmhouse of approx. 155m², one attached to the main barn of approx. 112m² and a third (approx. 82m²) attached to the main house. This latter has been finished to a high standard. It could be used for a gardian or as a maison d'amis. Communication with the main house would be possible through a door that is presently bricked-up.
A large barn includes 6 horse-boxes, tack room plus areas for large equipment. There is a purpose-built equestrian barn of approx. 550m² with, automatic drinking troughs, wooden double walls and electricity.
