Rare opportunity! A ready made life-style in a tranquil area of France.

This enormous stone-built house and barn have been skilfully transformed into a spacious and truly stunning, high quality residence with many eco features.

The result is a unique package combining high quality modern living, in a stunning renovated main residence of traditional design with a range of distinctive features, plus the security of a 5 figure income from 4 more properties on rental contracts. ALL properties are within 20 minutes of the main residence, set in a tranquil and idyllic location in north Haute Vienne, Limousin.

THE PROPERTY PORTFOLIO:

* MAIN RESIDENCE - An extremely well planned massive barn conversion where expense has not been spared. The superior specification includes an impressive drive, a new roof, an enormous, fully equipped "live-in" kitchen, a fabulous hand-made solid oak staircase, large bedrooms with Juliet balconies, reception rooms with high ceilings and fine, antique chandeliers, new wiring and a creative heating and plumbing systems throughout.

Large open terraces have been created on 2 levels to take maximum advantage of the wonderful views across the river and woodland, with a heated and illuminated swim-spa installed on the lower level for year round use.

The 6+ acres of land include meadow and orchard, 2 separate areas of woodland, lawns and gardens with productive cherry, walnut and apple trees, PLUS approx 100+ meters of private trout river frontage. (see image below)

ALSO INCLUDED IN THE SALE ARE:

1) A DETACHED 3 BEDROOM RENOVATED COTTAGE, located next door but completely seperated from the main residence with it's own driveway, separate front and rear gardens, a new kitchen, shower-room, new wiring etc.

2) A RENOVATED 1st FLOOR APARTMENT. Two bedrooms - *FULLY FURNISHED* - including new kitchen, shower room, quality beds, antique armoires, new heating - plus new timber framed double glazed windows with shutters. Solid parquet floor throughout.

3) A RENOVATED 2nd FLOOR APARTMENT. Two bedrooms - *FULLY FURNISHED* - including new kitchen, shower room and separate WC, quality beds, new heating, antique armoire - plus new timber framed double glazed windows. Solid parquet floor throughout.

4) CHARMING RENOVATED SHOP. Newly decorated and tiled, with new heating, new double glazed shop front and windows, plus WC and kitchen area.

5) 1 ACRE BUILDING PLOT. A well proportioned, gently sloping plot with all services on the boundary, road access options at either end of the land and with a current CU (planning permission) for one dwelling.

Access to Airports and Motorways is easy and very convenient, being located approximately just 20 minutes from the main A20 Motorway, 50 minutes from Limoges Airport, 1 hour + from Poitiers Airport, 3 hours south of Paris or 4.5-6 hours south of the Channel Ferry Ports or Tunnel.

This opportunity is unlike a B&B or properties with gites that are purchased with much optimism and great expectation but often result in disappointment. A B&B or Gites always require constant work and attention with little or no spare time off to enjoy life, with uncertain financial returns. In total contrast, the yearly income from these permanent rentals is all but guaranteed and achieved with nominal effort.

NB It is important to emphasise that both the main residence AND the rental properties are ALL refurbished. This means no major renovations or decorations are required within any of the 5 properties.

Again, this is unusual for France where even so-called "renovated" properties often require substantial further investment to bring them even close to acceptable modern standards. Many have mediocre or poor, DIY handiwork that has to be completely removed and replaced. Some are simply unhabitable because the roof may have been temporarily patched or with totally inadequate insulation or outdated sanitation that does not comply to the new regulations. In such circumstances it would certainly not be unusual to expect to invest a further 50% or more of the original purchase price for essential renovation expenses.

In complete contrast this is an exceptional opportunity to secure a ready-made, unique portfolio of renovated residential and investment properties with immediate income. Therefore, it is not only a prudent proposition with a high quality life-style, it also represents excellent value with valuable further potential.

The price for the whole package - 5 properties, 6+ acres including the building plot is - €995,000 or near offer.

DELAYED COMPLETION OPTION
In certain circumstances the owners may agree to a sale at an early date but with completion of the purchase to be delayed to allow the buyer time to organise finances.

REQUEST THE DETAILED DOSSIER:
A fully illustrated dossier giving considerable detail is available NOW. To request a copy seriously interested parties are invited to complete the fields on the "Send A Message" page.

NB - To avoid additional agency costs for the buyer, prospective purchasers will be dealing directly with the owners.

Inspection of all properties will adequately demonstrate that the owners have exercised great care, considerable planning plus a considerable investment in creating this unique residence and income package.

It is now solely for family reasons that the vendors very reluctantly place this outstanding property package on the market.

Given the many benefits on offer and the high standards of renovation, it would be virtually impossible to find a similar, ready-made package, where all the major work has been completed and in such an idyllic setting, especially at such good value.
