Sardent, Limousin

Reference: MLSM-T9550. EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES! An active life in dreamy rural France. A small farm transformed into a beautiful home and currently run as a gite/glampsite business (a future owner would need appropriate business registration if they wished to continue). The property comprises a main house with small adjoining barn, summer kitchen with barbecue area, a magnificent very large barn and chicken house, and a second revolutionary style house for renovation, if desired. A second smaller block includes a first floor gite and terrace, storeroom below as well as private bathrooms, kitchen and lounge/dining room to serve the current glamping business, and a very large car port to one side, all surrounding an isolated courtyard set at the top of 2.5 hectares of meadow and woodland, where the farm animals roam free. The main house is a delightful stone building with wood-fired central heating throughout. The ground floor is recently renovated, and includes a fully-fitted modern kitchen with large island/breakfast bar as well as a spacious living room with newly installed wood burner for those cosy evenings. The second floor has the master bedroom with dressing room, a beautifully laid-out bathroom with free-standing tub, and a spacious second bedroom. The third floor is also prepared for possible extension (subject to necessary permissions). This is a beautiful, south-facing property in a small hamlet off the main road, just a short drive from the nearest rural town and within a quarter of an hour of the regional capital. Surrounded by the rolling Creusois countryside with its rivers and lakes, it is an ideal place for that peaceful life you are looking for in France, but also offers the chance to continue (with renewed permits) the business with a very pretty gite and two geodesic domes of 25m2 and 50m2, which has featured in numerous newspaper and magazine articles as well as on several television programmes.
