Beautiful house, with cottage, barn, stables, outbuildings, château, 30 hectares of land, Creuse, Limousin.

A rare opportunity to purchase a small estate in a secluded position, with a meandering river to the south of the garden. Gates lead into the private driveway to the first part of the estate with a 2 bed detached cottage and detached barn with double garage. The drive continues down to the second set of gates with a car park for 4 vehicles. The large 3 bed detached house, with an attic in perfect condition suitable to convert into 3 to 4 bedrooms. Detached stables and workshop. The stunning château has a spiral turret intact with stairs to the top and a dungeon. The remainder of the château could be re-built or as currently used a fantastic enclosed BBQ area. The 30 hectares of land surround the property or in close proximity. The huge garden to the back on-looks the river and open countryside. The property really does have the wow factor with an affordable price tag. This property has been well maintained and in excellent condition.

Location in France

The Creuse is France's hidden department, and forms part of the Limousin region. You have to leave the beaten track to find the many interesting and attractive towns and hamlets dotted around the area.
Guéret is the capital of the department and has around 15,000 inhabitants, which gives you an idea how sparsely populated this department is. The proximity of the town to both the River Creuse and the Lac du Cortille mean that plenty of watersports are available for both holidaymakers and residents alike.
Bourganeuf has less than 3,500 inhabitants yet has a rich and affluent history, as the Knights Templar had their headquarters here for many years. La Souterraine is another popular small town, steeped in history and has drawn much interest from archaeologists over the years thanks to its 13th century crypt.
The Creuse has some diverse landscapes - from the vast plains of the Berry to the North, the hilly landscape of the Auvergne to the east and woodland to the south. The easiest way to access the Creuse from the UK is to fly into Limoges, or catch the TGV from Paris.
Property prices are still very low when compared to other areas of France, and there are definitely still bargains to be found despite the rise in prices over the last few years.
