An opportunity to acquire an authentically restored Farmhouse complex, comprising 2 renovated 2 bed houses, a lovely barn, and a 3rd stone house under renovation.
The 3rd stone house has some work to be completed. Should the buyer be interested, arrangements could be made to complete it as a 2 bedroom, 120m2, 2 storey house, with integrated garage (or 3rd master bedroom) & an open plan, first floor living space / kitchen / dining area with large separate bathroom. It has stunning views and a private terrace, and parking.
1st house - a 2 Bed farmhouse (130m2). Authentic restoration with cellar. Spacious dining room/ Kitchen. Fabulous lounge with flagstone floor, luxury shower room, Oak balcony.
2nd houses a 2 Bed guest house (70m2), cream painted with its small tower, fully modernized & comfortable.
3rd property - a 2 Bed stone barn conversion, (ground floor - 60m2 / first floor -60m2) under restoration. Ground floor plan - 2 bedrooms, shower room, and garage. First floor - open plan kitchen, dining room, lounge, with vaulted ceiling. Separate large bathroom. Great views to be enjoyed.
In addition to the 3 houses, each with its own parking and terrace, there is a magnificent stone barn (120m2), with new electric lighting, sockets, water supply and original stable with drain providing great winter quarters for ponies and or donkeys. It has room for workshop/ indoor parking with a huge centre door. Storage: a purpose built stable and 2 mezzanine areas as well. It also has 2 Velux windows facing east. Below the big barn, is the recently installed sewage system, conforming to European regulations.
Each of the 2 complete cottages have fully modernised electricity circuits and plumbing, with new bathrooms and well equipped kitchens. They also benefit from the addition of 5 Oak framed dormer windows and 6 velux, giving extra light and views. They are very well insulated and furnished. Ready to move straight in.
The houses have been renovated retaining their original features, both inside and out. Floors are of French oak or flagstone, walls in lime plaster or soft rendered, and all original beams are treated and finished to a high standard. Both properties have log burners - to be fed by your own extensive woodlands. Hot water is available 24/7, heated by 'off peak' night time electricity. In the winter months, as well as the wood burners, modern thermostatic radiators help to heat the houses.
There are flagstone patios and solid timber balconies set within lawns, pasture, shrubs, orchards and rose beds. The whole ensemble is delightful, retaining the character it had as a working small farm before 1985.
The 3rd house is still a work in progress, and occupies the stone building that encloses the courtyard farm. It has a perfect terracotta tiled roof, with 4 large Velux, measures 9m x 7m on 2 floors (120m2) and faces south-west onto its own terrace.
Apart from the extensive and versatile accommodation, this property offers useful land. 12 acres of well-maintained land, fenced and gated, with fresh stream and pond water all year. There are 20 walnut trees, very rich grassland with woodland, ideal for logging and habitat for wildlife. It can easily support several donkeys or horses. 800m of fencing for enclosure and a 5 bar gate were completed in 2014 and the stable prepared . .
The land can be divided into the upper portion of 'parkland' adjacent to the houses (approximately 4 acres), & the lower valley, set between two woods (8 acres). A huge lime tree provides shade over the courtyard. A great deal of work has been done with stone walling, gravel and paving to create a natural feel to the surroundings. There is permission for a swimming pool.
The property is a 15 minutes drive from the River Dordogne, 20 minutes from the city of Brive la Gaillarde, with an international airport (Brive / Dordogne Valley, flights all year around from London City). Just 10 minutes from the small market towns of Meyssac and Collonges La Rouge, and 40 minutes from Rocamadour, the Gouffres De Padirac, & also convenient for Sarlat.
