5 Bed House for sale
Saint-Julien-le-Petit, Haute-Vienne, Limousin, France
Full Description
It was once an old stone house in its original state, with its adjoining barn, its bread oven, its well and its piece of land on the edge of the forest. It is now a completely renovated, extended property, with its own pretty landscaped garden and woodland. To this has been added another property located just opposite, one building of which is being renovated to create a gîte, not to mention an old house with a barn, a pigsty and a piece of its own forest. This project would suit a family wishing to develop holiday gîtes or two families wishing to live close and in harmony with nature. Will you be these happy future owners?A rare spotYou can live in the countryside and be in a place totally hidden from view. This is the case of this property, which is located in a dead-end hamlet, on the edge of the forest, in a dominant position and with no close neighbours, but with multiple hiking trails available. You will undoubtedly be charmed by the calm and serenity that reign in this place.The main houseThe old house and the barn are now one single dwelling. It is a 3-floor building, with on the ground floor, under the living area, two storage rooms accessible from the road: a cellar with a hatch to the living room located above and a large storage room with a sink.
On the upper floor, at garden level, you enter the living space on the south side through a door on the gable and you access a lounge with a wood burner installed within the stone fireplace. This room opens onto a modern fitted kitchen. A wide opening in the stone wall separating the old house from the barn allows access to the large living room created in the latter. A wood burner comfortably heats the space. A modern shower room with a toilet is located to one side of the living room. Across the other side, a beautiful East-facing master bedroom has been fitted out in an outbuilding with a first set of French doors to the North and a second to the South. From the living room, a staircase runs down to the ground floor where there is a utility room/boiler room and a bathroom with a toilet. A thermodynamic tank powered by solar panels is located in this area.
A wide staircase runs from the living room up to a mezzanine with office and reading areas on the 1st floor. This central area leads to 2 bedrooms on the North-facing side under the roof and 2 additional bedrooms separated by a corridor.Make your own breadYou are invited to do so, because this bread oven with its bakehouse area is in good condition and just waiting to be used. A shed for your garden tools is located above.A gîte project?Just opposite the main house, a magnificent stone complex remains available to bring all your development projects to life: an old house on two usable floors with a cellar area below, an adjoining Limousin-style barn, a pigsty in poor condition and a future gîte on two floors with a beautiful natural slate roof and large bay windows to enjoy the outdoor views.Nature before your eyesThe land of the two parts of the property has an area of ca. 1 ½ acre around the main house and another 1 ½ acre around the buildings to be developed, i.e. a total surface area of more than 3 acres! The landscaped garden around the main house is really varied and comprises: a wooded area, a pond, a vegetable garden, an orchard, two sunny terraces, a space for an in-ground swimming pool, a large, gravelled parking area, a gate and a private tarmac driveway! The land opposite has a separate access from a road below and consists of an open flat area in front of the buildings and woodland behind them on the North side.Access and amenitiesThe property is located at an altitude of approximately 1650 ft, in a small village within the “Parc de Millevaches” with a village hall and a restaurant/inn.
