Description

This 3-bedroom house for sale in Haute-Vienne, near Château-Chervix, stands beside its own 3,070 m² spring-fed lake on 3.36 hectares.

Woodland closes in around the plot, a private driveway is the only way in, and the nearest neighbour is more than 250 metres away. It is a lake house in Limousin for buyers who want silence, space and water on their own land, with a home that is already in good condition.

The House: 84 m² Over a Full Basement



The driveway passes a small stone-built cottage of one room before reaching the main house. Inside, the ground floor has an entrance hall, a WC and a single open-plan space for living, dining and cooking. A wood burning stove sits in that room, and French doors open onto a large stone terrace. Morning coffee there comes with a view straight over the lake.

Upstairs are the three bedrooms. The house has one bathroom and a balcony, and the living area totals 84 m². That is modest by French country-house standards, but the space around the house makes up for it.

Underneath is a full basement. It holds a garage, workshop and storage area, and there is a second garage under the terrace. A carport attached to the house takes two vehicles. Anyone with tools, bikes, a boat or a hobby that needs room will find plenty of it here.

The Lake, Woods and Meadow



The lake covers 3,070 m² and is fed by a spring. The plot as a whole is 33,641 m², a mix of open meadow and woodland, so you get both sunny space and shade. A hangar of about 30 m² gives you extra covered storage for a tractor, mower or firewood.

The agent describes the lake as up to standard for use as a fishing lake. That makes the property interesting for a small fishing-holiday venture, or simply for a private pond to fish with friends. If you plan to take paying guests, check the permits, water rules and insurance with the mairie and a local adviser before you commit.

Living Near Château-Chervix and Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche



Château-Chervix is a small rural commune in the south of Haute-Vienne, so expect country life rather than a resort. The market town of Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche is about 16 km away. That is where you will find the weekly shopping, cafés, doctors and the everyday services that a second home needs.

The area is green, wooded and quiet, with Limousin farmland, small lakes and country lanes made for walking and cycling. It suits a holiday home in Limousin just as well as a base for living in France full time.

Getting There: Airports and Drive Times



The house sits between Limoges and Brive. Limoges is roughly 40 minutes away by road, and its airport is the closest for most visitors. Brive, with its own airport, is about an hour. Check current flight routes before you plan regular trips, as schedules change from year to year.

Buying a Second Home in France



A property with this much land is a different proposition from a village house. You will want to plan for grass and woodland upkeep, regular care of the lake, and a few winter checks on the driveway if you are not living here all year. In return you get privacy that is hard to find in many parts of France, at a price that makes this a realistic second home in France.

Frequently Asked Questions



Can the lake be used for fishing?
The agent describes it as up to standard for use as a fishing lake. Before running a paid fishing business, confirm the permits and regulations that apply.

How far is the house from Limoges?
Allow about 40 minutes by road to Limoges, and roughly an hour to Brive. Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche is much closer, at about 16 km.

Is it practical as a second home?
The basement garages and workshop give plenty of storage for a house you leave and return to. The wood burning stove and the private setting suit quiet stays, but the land and lake need regular care, so plan for someone to look after them when you are away.

On a still morning in Castelsagrat, the mist sits low in the valleys below and the only sound from the terrace is birdsong and the distant clank of a cowbell drifting up from the fields. You're holding coffee, the stone barbecue is still warm from last night, and the countryside rolls out ahead of you in every direction. This is what drew people to this corner of Tarn-et-Garonne long before the rest of the world caught on. This 19th-century stone house sits just outside one of the most quietly compelling villages in the department — a place with a proper boulangerie, a café where the locals actually linger, and a rhythm of life that feels deliberately unhurried. At 110 square metres across three bedrooms and two bathrooms, it's the kind of house that works hard in all seasons. The walls are thick, the floors are tiled, and the sitting room log burner throws enough heat to make February evenings genuinely cosy rather than something to endure. Step inside and the character hits you immediately. Exposed stone, original beams overhead, and a country kitchen that's made for slow cooking — the sort of room where someone inevitably ends up opening a second bottle of wine because the cassoulet needs another hour. The layout is practical without being clinical. The large storage rooms running off the main living space are a genuine opportunity: convert them into a guest annex, a home office, or additional accommodation for rental income. The bones are there; it just needs a vision and a builder. No close neighbours. That's not a throwaway phrase here — it genuinely means you can open every window on a summer night, eat dinner outside at ten o'clock, and not worry about a soul. The terrace is large enough to matter, with a buil ... click here to read more

Saturday morning, and the smell of buckwheat crêpes drifts out from a van at Loudéac's market — you grab a coffee from a café table, watch the cheese seller argue cheerfully with a regular, and think: this is yours now. Twelve minutes from here, back down the country road toward La Prénessaye, the garden is waiting. This is the kind of place that people who know Brittany look for, and rarely find at this price. A solid four-bedroom cottage sitting on just over an acre of land in the Côtes-d'Armor, with the Voie Verte greenway literally three minutes on foot from the front door. That detail matters more than you might think. The Voie Verte — a converted railway line turned cycling and walking trail — cuts through some of the most quietly dramatic countryside in central Brittany. You can be on it before your morning coffee has cooled. The house itself is spread across three floors, with 127 square metres of habitable space that feels bigger than it sounds. Rooms are generous and properly proportioned — the kind of proportions French rural houses do well, where ceilings are high enough that you don't feel compressed on a grey autumn afternoon. Natural light moves through the spaces throughout the day. The fitted kitchen is modern and functional, the two bathrooms are in good order, and there's a living room with a wood-burner that makes November feel like an event rather than something to endure. Two reception rooms give you flexibility — a reading room, a playroom for the grandchildren, a home office for those who still need to keep one foot in the working world. Practical updates have already been handled. New windows throughout, a new septic tank installed, and the property is well insulated — which in rural Brittany ... click here to read more

Early on a Tuesday morning in Saint-Cernin-de-Labarde, the only sounds are wood pigeons in the oak trees and the faint clang of the Issigeac market setting up four kilometres down the road. You could be drinking coffee on your terrace, looking out over 14,195 square metres of your own land, watching the mist burn off the Périgord hills. That is not a fantasy. That is an ordinary Tuesday when you own this house. Built in 2013, this timber-frame property sits at the quiet edge of a small village, positioned almost exactly between Issigeac and Villeréal—two of the most historically rich towns in the Dordogne. The house is not old and crumbling and romantic in the way that requires a decade of renovation money. It is well-constructed, energy-efficient, and genuinely move-in ready. That matters more than people admit until they've spent a summer watching contractors not show up. The ground floor has a proper layout for real life. A living room that gets afternoon light, a kitchen set up for people who actually cook—not a show kitchen, but a professional-style space with the counter room and equipment to handle a big family lunch or a dinner party of eight. There is a bedroom and shower room at ground level, which means guests or elderly family members never have to deal with stairs. The large reception room is separate enough to feel like its own world—good for a home office, a studio, a music room, or simply a space where teenagers can disappear and leave the adults in peace. Upstairs, four rooms including two bedrooms and an attic give you the flexibility to configure the space around however your life actually runs. The basement deserves a mention because in this part of France, a good basement is genuinely useful. Car ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in the Pays des Bastides and the only sound is a woodpigeon calling from the oak tree at the edge of the field. You're standing in 4,000 square metres of your own land, coffee in hand, looking at a barn that's still waiting to become exactly the house you've always had in your head. That's the thing about this property near Boisse — it doesn't hand you someone else's vision. It hands you a blank canvas with real bones. The barn itself covers approximately 200 square metres on the ground floor, with structural capacity for a second floor of over 140 square metres — more than 340 square metres of living space in total once you build upward. A separate hangar of 300 square metres sits alongside, useful for a workshop, a gîte conversion, storage for a boat or two canoes, or simply the kind of breathing room you never get in the city. Outline planning consent is already in place, which is a significant step forward in France and removes one of the most time-consuming hurdles international buyers typically face when purchasing rural property here. The setting is the Dordogne département, specifically the Pays des Bastides — a stretch of rolling agricultural land in southern Périgord that most tourists miss entirely because it doesn't sit on the main Dordogne River tourist corridor. That's precisely what makes it special. The roads here are quiet. The hamlets are working ones. Saint-Léon-d'Issigeac is just down the lane, and Issigeac itself — a genuinely intact medieval bastide village with its Thursday morning market — is close enough to cycle to on a flat day. The market there is the real thing: local farmers selling walnuts, black truffles in season (December through February, and they are extraordinary), du ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in the Charente countryside sounds different from anywhere else in France. The birds start before the light does, and by the time you've made coffee and pushed open the terrace doors, there's nothing between you and a wide green horizon except your own 7,000 square metres of garden, a few oaks, and the distant church tower of Mansle catching the early sun. That's the daily reality of this four-bedroom house just outside Mansle-les-Fontaines — a genuinely well-built contemporary home from the early 2000s that's been looked after with real care, set in a quiet hamlet a couple of kilometres from everything you actually need. Let's talk about the space first, because 160 square metres of living area spread thoughtfully across two floors makes this feel like a proper family home rather than a weekend squeeze. The ground floor revolves around a 40-square-metre living and dining room that gets generous natural light throughout the day. It's the kind of room that naturally absorbs a family gathering — long lunches that drift into afternoons, kids spread across the floor, someone always in the kitchen. That kitchen, at 19 square metres, is large enough to be genuinely functional, not just a gesture toward cooking. Three bedrooms sit on the ground floor too, alongside a bathroom, a separate WC, and a pantry and laundry room that handles all the practical business of a real home. Head upstairs and there's a fourth room currently working as a bedroom or office, with its own private shower room and toilet — ideal for older kids, guests who want independence, or anyone who needs a quiet corner away from the rest of the house. The underfloor heating on the ground floor is worth pausing on. It's the kind of detail that ... click here to read more

Stand at the kitchen window on a November morning and watch mist roll off the wooded acres behind the stone walls, curling around the old longère like smoke. The fire's already been lit — the cast-iron stove in the living room takes the edge off fast — and the only sound is the distant caw of rooks settling in the tree line. This is Ménéac, deep-green Brittany, and this place is the kind of property that stops serious buyers mid-scroll. Set in a small hamlet just 2.1 kilometres from the village of Ménéac itself, this substantial granite house sits on roughly 6.3 hectares of mixed land, part cultivated, part wooded. It's been divided into two fully independent dwellings — a detail that changes everything about how you might use it. One wing for your family, one for guests, rental income, or an elderly relative who wants proximity without sacrifice of privacy. The arithmetic of that arrangement is immediately appealing for anyone buying a second home in France who wants flexibility without compromising the experience of actually being there. The main dwelling opens at ground level into a living room anchored by an open fireplace paired with a wood-burning stove — two heat sources, which tells you something about how the previous owners felt about Breton winters. Through from there, a fitted kitchen and laundry room keep the practical side of things contained, along with a ground-floor toilet. Head upstairs and you get a bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom, a second family bathroom, a further bedroom, and a room currently used as an office but easily repurposed. The second dwelling mirrors this layout almost exactly: a living room with fireplace and stove, a kitchen-dining room (combined this time, which most families ... click here to read more

On a Sunday morning in Guern, the only sounds are the wind moving through the old oak at the edge of the garden and the distant bell from the village church carrying across the fields. You're standing at the kitchen window of a house that has been standing since 1638, watching mist lift off the Morbihan countryside, and thinking you could get used to this. Really get used to this. This five-bedroom stone property sits just ten minutes from Pontivy, a proper Breton market town with a working canal, a 15th-century château, and Saturday markets where the cheese vendor knows everyone by name. Guern itself is a quiet rural commune — the kind of place where neighbors wave from tractors and the post arrives without fail. At 187 square metres of living space on a landscaped plot of around 2,857 m², this is a genuinely substantial home, not a weekend cottage. It has real scale, real history, and the kind of bones you simply cannot manufacture. The oldest section of the main house traces back nearly four centuries. You feel that age in the best possible way — in the weight of the stone walls, the depth of the window reveals, the massive fireplace that anchors the double-height living room. That fireplace isn't decorative. Light it on a November evening with a bottle of Muscadet and a cassoulet on the hob, and you understand exactly why the French have been doing this for hundreds of years. The living room's unceilinged section creates genuine drama, with the mezzanine above looking down over the space — a reading corner, a desk, a spot for teenagers who want to feel separate without being far away. The ground floor layout is practical in a way old farmhouses often aren't. Two independent entrances give the house real flexibilit ... click here to read more

On a Sunday morning in southwest France, this is what you wake up to: birdsong filtering through mature oak canopy, the faint smell of dew on old stonework, and the kind of silence that cities charge a premium to escape. Step out onto the balcony off the main bedroom, coffee in hand, and you're looking across more than half a hectare of private park-like gardens that feel entirely your own. No neighbors visible. No road noise. Just the trees, the pool glinting in the early light, and the slow rhythm of Lot-et-Garonne life beginning to stir. This is a house with a genuine story. Built in the 1970s to the design of an architect — someone who clearly cared about proportion, natural light, and character — it has been owned by one family since the day it was completed. That alone says something. Properties like this rarely surface on the market in this corner of Aquitaine, and when they do, they don't stay long. Walk through the gated entrance and the house reveals itself gradually, framed by specimen trees that have had decades to reach their full, impressive height. The façade has a quiet confidence about it — nothing showy, just solid mid-century lines that hold up exceptionally well. Inside, the living room is the heart of everything: generous in scale, with a working fireplace anchoring one wall, a mezzanine gallery adding vertical drama, and light coming in from multiple directions. The parquet floors throughout have the warmth that only real wood develops over time — no laminate shortcut here. Exposed stonework and original plaster cornices add layers of detail that would cost a fortune to replicate today. The four bedrooms are arranged sensibly for a family or for hosting guests across the seasons. One opens onto a ... click here to read more

On a still morning in Coussac-Bonneval, the only sound you'll hear from the kitchen window is birdsong and the faint clang of the village church bell marking the hour. That's not a selling point — that's just Tuesday. This is a corner of rural France that hasn't been polished for tourists, and that's exactly what makes it worth your attention. This three-bedroom stone village house sits in the heart of Coussac-Bonneval, a quietly compelling commune in the Haute-Vienne department of Limousin, and it has been fully renovated without losing the bones that make it genuinely special. The original parquet floors are still there, worn smooth in the best possible way. The exposed timber beams cross the ceilings upstairs with the kind of presence you simply can't recreate. Two fireplaces anchor the interior, and a wood-burning stove in the living and dining room turns a rainy October evening into something you'd want to repeat every year. At 153 square metres spread across two levels, the house has real breathing room. The ground floor opens with an entrance hall that leads into a generous 39-square-metre living and dining space — French doors push open to a south-facing terrace, and in summer you'll barely bother eating indoors. The kitchen is fully fitted and functional, with a ground-floor WC keeping the layout practical. Upstairs, three bedrooms share two bathrooms, each with its own WC, plus a further separate WC — sensible for families or groups of friends who all need to be somewhere at the same time on a Saturday morning. Outside is where this property really opens up. The walled garden runs to 1,101 square metres, giving you genuine privacy without feeling like you're managing an estate. There's a paved terrace for lo ... click here to read more

Step into the kitchen of the converted barn on a Saturday morning in October, French doors flung open, the smell of woodsmoke drifting in from the garden, and you'll understand immediately why someone spent years restoring this 1778 farmstead with such patience. The Limousin countryside rolls out in every direction. Nothing but birdsong, the faint trickle of a natural spring feeding an old stone washing basin, and the knowledge that Paris is three hours north and you'd rather stay exactly here. This is a property with real bones and a real story. Built in 1778 and sitting on just over 10,000 square metres of mature gardens, terraces, and lawns in a quiet rural hamlet near Coussac-Bonneval in Haute-Vienne, the estate comprises three separate living spaces — a 173 m² converted barn serving as the main residence, a 124 m² original farmhouse restored as a two-bedroom gîte, and a 29 m² studio apartment currently generating income on short-term rental platforms. That's 325 square metres of habitable space across the full property, plus a workshop, the old pigsty (ripe for conversion), an above-ground pool, and a working well. For a second home that pays for itself, or for two families who want to share a slice of rural France without actually sharing a kitchen, this configuration is genuinely rare. The barn conversion is where the architectural confidence shows most clearly. Downstairs, a 30 m² kitchen anchors the space — big enough to actually cook in, with French doors that open onto two separate terraces so you can chase the shade or the sun depending on the season. A 54 m² living room with fireplace. A laundry room, a WC, and a ground-floor bedroom with en-suite shower, useful when knees or houseguests become a considera ... click here to read more

Stand on the veranda of this stone cottage on a Tuesday morning in October, coffee in hand, and you'll hear it — the faint rustle of chestnut trees dropping their load, a crow somewhere across the valley, nothing else. No road noise. No neighbors. Just the old Limousin countryside doing what it's done for centuries. That silence is something people drive three hours from Paris for and never quite find. Here, it comes with the property. Sitting roughly halfway between Meuzac and Coussac-Bonneval on a quiet country lane in Haute-Vienne, this one-bedroom stone cottage is the real thing. Not renovated into some sanitized holiday pastiche — it's a genuine old Limousin farmhouse, the kind with thick granite walls that keep rooms cool in July and warm on damp November afternoons. The bones are solid. The character is intact. Inside, the living room is anchored by a wood-burning stove. Light it on a cool spring evening and the whole space transforms. The kitchen runs adjacent — functional, honest, and large enough to actually cook in, not just heat things up. Through to the bedroom, which is generous for a single room, the kind of space where you actually sleep rather than lie awake. The bathroom has a proper bath, WC, and the utility room adds a shower and second WC — a practical layout that works just as well for a couple spending six weeks a year as it does for someone planning longer stays. But the veranda is where life really happens in this house. Decked and enclosed enough to use in shoulder seasons, it opens to a view that rolls out across open farmland with no rooftop or telegraph pole to spoil it. Morning light comes in from the east. Evenings turn go ... click here to read more

Step out of the veranda on a June morning and all you can hear is the low hum of bees working through the meadow grass. The Corrèze countryside rolls away in every direction — soft hills, oak stands, not a rooftop in sight. This is what 2.82 hectares of your own land feels like. The house itself is a proper Limousin stone farmhouse, the kind built to last centuries and the kind that actually has. Slate roof, thick walls that keep the interior cool through August without any air conditioning running. It was renovated in 2003, which means the bones were kept honest while the living spaces were updated enough to move straight into without a renovation project hanging over you. At 131 square metres across two floors, it's genuinely liveable for a family — not so sprawling it becomes a burden to maintain, not so compact you're bumping into each other. The ground floor has a flow that makes sense. You come in through an entrance hall, move into a fitted kitchen that opens directly to the dining and living room — a fireplace at one end, a wood-burning stove doing the heavy lifting in the winter months when the Corrèze hills get properly cold and the idea of curling up with a book and a local Brive-la-Gaillarde walnut cake sounds genuinely appealing. A bedroom and shower room sit on this level too, which means the whole house can function single-storey if needed. But the real surprise is the veranda — large, full of afternoon light, opening straight onto the grounds and the swimming pool. That pool was built in 2025, a traditional 7m x 3.5m format, so it's fresh, clean, and ready for the first summer. Upstairs, three more bedrooms with sloped ceilings give the house that classic French farmhouse character, accompanied by a sho ... click here to read more
