Saint-Vitte-sur-Briance, Limousin 87380

Small complex with agricultural origins, no immediate neighbors, yet not isolated, perched on a hillside in an idyllic spot of a southeastern Haute-Vienne commune, about 40 minutes from Limoges city center. A stone country house with an extension, a barn with lean-to, an old cattle shed, a small shed and a sheepfold make up this ensemble in a rare location that will enchant you as a main or secondary residence! The house The house, built in fine stone and oriented northwest/southeast, offers a single-story living area of about 90 m² on the ground floor, organized around a central kitchen with the main entrance and the only fireplace. To its left, a dining room. Behind it, two well-sized bedrooms on the south side. To its right, a 1990s-era concrete-block extension added a utility room/laundry, a shower room, and a separate WC. On the first floor, a 50 m² convertible attic on original floorboards with a pre-installed skylight and an insulated ~20 m² attic in the extension, consisting of two small bedrooms, each with a roof window and the larger one with a dormer window to enjoy a magnificent view of nature. Under the dining room and the ground-floor bedrooms, a healthy ~47 m² basement with two rooms offers substantial storage, accessible by an exterior door. The work done The tiled roof dates from 2023. All windows are double-glazed except one. The septic tank is incomplete but does not require major modernization works. The roofs of all outbuildings are solid. Outbuildings There are several useful outbuildings, mostly stone, including a beautiful ~120 m² barn with stable and granary, an adjoining 18 m² pigsty, an attached chicken coop, a 90 m² block-built cattle shed behind the barn, an ~18 m² wood shed not attached, and an independent ~70 m² stone sheepfold. The land The land, recently bounded on part of it, consists of a zone adjoining the buildings of a little over 2 hectares of meadows partially fenced and about 3,850 m² of woods. A rural dirt path runs behind the former cattle shed, where a tractor can occasionally be seen. Next to the house, there is an old fountain indicating a spring, which unfortunately has ceased to flow. However, a stream borders one of the pasture parcels and eventual flows into the Briance river. An additional ~8,250 m² wooded parcel not attached to the main buildings is included in the property, useful for beekeepers to place hives or for those who like to cut their own firewood, and there is plenty of it! Access and amenities Access to the property is via a sloped road onto a small paved courtyard, leaving the tiny municipal road that runs behind the property. The village center is a few minutes away but has no amenities. However, it lies between Croisille-sur-Briance (5 minutes) and Saint-Germain-les-Belles (10 minutes), both with local shops and the latter with a railway station. The two nearest supermarkets are about 15 minutes away in Châteauneuf-la-Forêt and Magnac-Bourg; the former also has a beautiful swimming lake.
