REDUCED in price - This old barn is located in a small and peaceful hamlet of the Millevaches-en-Limousin Regional Park. You can get to the hamlet via a local road where there isn't any through traffic.

The barn's walls and roof frame are in a good state, but the roof itself needs changing, because it is only a simple corrugated roof.

The building is east-west facing, with a footprint of 200m2 (ca. 2200 sqft) and there is an adjoining open hangar of about 40m2 (430 sqft). There is everything to build here, as it is not yet habitable, but what you get is a large open space, which is ideal to create a spacious living area.

Electricity needs connecting up as well as water but the connections are on the edge of the property.

There is no septic tank either.

Most of the land is behind the building and is almost 3700m2 (close to an acre). It is a flat plot enclosed by a simple fence and lined with trees and shrubs.

An underground spring comes out on the property, next to the barn.

This is a project for the enthusiastic DIY person, who is not afraid of a full renovation!

The property lies close to a swimming lake and about ten minutes from a large village with all the main amenities, including a supermarket, infant and primary schools, a middle school, sports clubs, cinema, swimming lake, etc.

Limoges is 50 km (31 miles) and its international airport an hour's drive away.

The department of Haute-Vienne is in the region of Limousin and boasts a varied landscape of forests, countryside and lakes that attract many tourists each year looking for a range of activities including walking, fishing, sailing, boating and skiing.

In addition, the department has a strong historical and cultural heritage and the landscape is dotted with Roman churches, abbeys and fortified castles. Beautiful man-made beaches are easily accessible and are a good alternative for a great day out. In particular, the Lake of Vassiviere, created in 1950, is extremely popular with visitors.

It is sometimes known as the Land of a Thousand Lakes, the Limousin and its Haute-Vienne department offer beautiful and preserved landscapes. Waterfalls sparkling in the middle of rocks and trees, myriads of flowers and impressive dense forests are the kind of treasures that can be discovered in the department.

Transport links are good too, the easy and cheap access from the United Kingdom with companies as Ryanair or from French cities made that Limoges and the Haute-Vienne became an attractive destination. There is also a project of enlargement for Limoges' airport.

The department has a semi-continential climate with summer temperatures in the mid 20's, perfect for enjoying the scenery.
