Le Dorat, Limousin 87210

This former farm has been fully renovated to create a prestige family home in the heart of the Limousin countryside. It was an absolute pleasure to see this property simply breathtaking! The possibilities for this beautiful house are endless; it could easily be run as a B&B or even a health/spa retreat if not used as a home, as all bedrooms have en-suite facilities, whether a shower room or a bathroom. You could also rent it out as a holiday home when not in use and earn per week at current rental rates. The nearest town with a supermarket and all daily-life amenities is Le Dorat (7 km), so even though the location feels rural, you are only 7 minutes from shops, bars, restaurants, supermarkets and a railway station. Le Dorat is the traditional capital of the Haute-Marl, and within the ramparts of this old town there are fine examples of Romanesque architecture, notably the Collegiate Saint-Pierre-de-Dorat. The surrounding region offers year-round attractions, including horse racing (French-style), sound and light shows, artisan days, year-round markets, as well as concerts, tennis, cinema, fishing, sailing and windsurfing in nearby towns. It is easy to reach the region with flights from many UK airports to Limoges (50 km) and trains to Le Dorat (7 km), with connections to Poitiers station where you have TGV links to Paris, Bordeaux, London and Brussels. The current owners bought the property in 2006 and have spent the last 18 years enjoying and exploring the wonderful Limousin landscape. The house has mains water and electricity, gas (bottled) and the heating is provided by a central oil-fired boiler, with wood fires for ambiance. Wastewater is discharged via a compliant micro-station.
