Fancy your very own Stonehenge? Well not quite but the rocks which are dotted about this almost magical small holding do, in places; make you feel as if they were put there for a purpose, this is quite a special place.
The rocks, which the French believe are, in some areas; dolmens (the area is a listed natural site)are quite unique; they could of course quite simply be erratics left by what scientists believe to have been a vast flood approximately 10,000 years ago.
We will never know, all I do know is that they make this a magical and unique property, tucked away in a secluded and quiet spot in the Haute Vienne.
Both the house lived in and the house to renovate and outbuildings are at the top of the valley and look down over the attached pasture land towards the nearest village, I could see the outlines of the rooftops and the church spire from where I sat outside just outside the house.
The larger village of Bussiere-Poitevine is only 10 minutes drive away and has a bar, tabac, boulangerie, patisserie, newsagents, butchers, 2 general stores, chemist, post office and various other shops for everyday living; the larger town of Bellac is 18 minutes drive and has all of the above plus supermarkets, so you are never far away from all the amenities you need.
Poitiers airport and train station are about one hour away, Limoges airport is a 50 minute drive.
The current owners bought the property a few years ago but no longer have horses, so wish to downsize.
The house benefits from mains electricity and water, drainage is to a septic tank; it has partial double glazing. The electrics and the roof are in good order. Heating is a wood burning stove. Broadband is available.
