BELLAC, Limousin, Address available on request

This equestrian and gîte complex is set in the pretty green Limousin countryside. It looks out over a valley  decorated with lines of oaks and containing a large communal lake with excellent fishing for carp, trout, eel, pike etc.. 
The main house dates  from before 1750 and shows many original features: interior walls in  fine stone  or  timber with brick in-fill, oak doors and beams. Current accommodation of approx. 170M² is on the  ground floor and there is the possibility of converting the similar area first floor which is reached by a fine oak staircase.  There is space for 4/5 bedrooms with en-suites which might be  operated as a  B&B business.    
In addition to  the main house there are 3 gîtes: a separate farmhouse of approx. 155M², one attached to the main barn of approx. 112M² and  a third (approx. 82M²) attached to the main house. This latter has been finished to a high standard. It could  be used  for a gardian or as a maison d'amis. Communication with the main house would be possible through a  door that is presently bricked-up.  
A large barn includes  6 horse-boxes, tack room  plus areas for large equipment. There is a purpose-built equestrian barn of approx. 550M² with,  automatic drinking troughs, wooden double walls and electricity. There is approx. 24.1Ha of land with approx 20ha of  pasture and fields sown for hay. These fields give more than enough hay, allowing a surplus to be sold. There is excellent hacking from the property. It has been running as a successful business for the last 6 years and figures of income could be given to a serious buyer.
