Reference: PFYR-T211347. Situated in the heart of Haute-Vienne, in the beautiful Gartempe Valley and close to the town of Châteauponsac, is this stunning property offering spacious family accommodation, a separate gîte, an apartment and a fully compliant, stocked carp fishing lake of over one hectare. The entire property is being sold fully furnished and equipped, including the fishing equipment, garden machinery and tools, making this a genuine turn up, move in and start enjoying opportunity. Previously operated as a highly reputable and profitable fishing business, the current owners have chosen to run it on a very part-time basis, for approximately 10 weeks per year, allowing them plenty of time to enjoy this wonderful property themselves. The main house comprises a large open-plan living room, dining area and kitchen, with windows and doors opening directly onto a sunny terrace with beautiful views across the lake. Also on the ground floor are a WC, utility room and cellar. On the first floor is a wonderfully bright and spacious bedroom with its own shower. Two large windows overlook the lake, with the bed perfectly positioned so that you can wake up and enjoy the view across the water. The separate gîte provides excellent guest or rental accommodation and comprises a large lounge with access onto its own sun terrace overlooking the lake, together with a spacious kitchen/dining room. Upstairs are two bedrooms, a bathroom and separate WC. The additional apartment comprises a kitchenette, living room with sofa bed and bathroom, providing further independent accommodation for guests, family or paying clients. The property benefits from double glazing, a fully compliant septic tank, electric heating and wood heating. To the rear of the property is also a dedicated fisherman's kitchen, shower room and toilet, ideal for guests using the lake. This is where the property really comes into its own. Set within 25,366m² of attached land, the property includes a magnificent fishing lake extending to over one hectare and stocked with more than 80 prime carp. Seven of the carp are over 20kg, with many of the remaining fish weighing approximately 14?15kg. The lake currently offers four swims, two of which have their own wooden chalets and kitchenette areas. The lake is licensed and fully compliant until 2040, with authorisation for tourism use or fish breeding, making it particularly attractive to anyone wishing to develop or continue a commercial fishing activity. Away from the lake, the grounds include a beautiful sunny vegetable garden filled with home-grown produce, a garden shed, polytunnel and an additional storage building for firewood and garden machinery. The complete property is being sold fully furnished and equipped. All fishing equipment is included, together with the garden machinery and tools. There is even the possibility of purchasing a car from the owners at below retail price, which could be particularly useful for overseas buyers wanting a French-registered vehicle. This property really is about living the dream. Whether you are searching for a lifestyle change, a family home with additional accommodation, or the opportunity to operate your own carp-fishing holiday business in rural France, this is an exceptional opportunity. Words and photographs simply cannot convey how special the setting is ? viewing is essential to appreciate everything this property has to offer. (6.00 % fees incl. VAT at the buyer's expense.)
