Budget Opportunity for a Full Renovation Project in Rural Creuse. Price 19,500 euros.

If you are looking for a renovation project in a picturesque location on a budget, this stone cottage in La Bussière-Videau could be the answer. La Bussière-Videau is a small hamlet in the commune of Champsanglard in the Creuse department of central France. The area is known for its tranquil countryside, lakes, and rivers, great for nature lovers, fishing, and peaceful walks.

Nestled in the quiet Creuse countryside, this small detached cottage has an old-world charm and stands on a good-sized plot of around 1425 m², which is constructable land. The layout is simple, one ground floor room acting as kitchen/lounge, an external staircase leading to the bedroom above. It would be possible to put in an internal staircase. It is an ancient building and will need a full restoration, including installation of drainage and bathroom facilities, but the basics -mains water and electricity- are already there.

The land is flat and the various outbuildings include an open hanger which could be used to place a caravan in or park a motorhome while working on the house. Also, these could be converted to provide further living space or the house could be extended, plans still need to be submitted first of course.

The hamlet is peaceful and rural and yet it is only a short drive (approx. a 15mins.) from shops and amenities in Guéret which is the main town for the Creuse.

While the cottage is modest and requires renovation work, it could be ideal if you want to create a home at your own pace, at a price that is hard to beat. The surrounding area is known for its rivers, lakes, and rolling hills, classic Creuse scenery and great for nature lovers, fishing, peaceful walks and the quiet rural roads and gentle hills make great cycling routes. Also, you can swim at the Péchadoire beach in Anzême and the Lavaud beach in Jouillat, both are close-by.

- Chabrières Forest with trails and wildlife,

- the Gorges d'Anzême which has dramatic river gorges for more nature walks and photos,
