La Porcherie, Haute-Vienne, Limousin, France
Full Description
Formerly a disused farm outbuilding, this house has been renovated by its owner over the past 15 years into an energy-independent country home that in perfect connection with its beautifully landscaped grounds. The property boasts over 6 acres of fully enclosed grounds with a pond of over an acre, all within easy reach of amenities, major roads, and just 30 minutes from Limoges’s city centre.The house looks over its own groundsCurrently offering approximately 1.000 Sqft of living space, the stone-built house includes a fitted kitchen with a separate toilet and a storage cupboard located under the staircase leading to the upper floor. Adjoining this room are two garages, one of which has a door directly into the kitchen. It is therefore possible, if so wished, to create additional living space in this area.
The downstairs staircase opens on the 1st floor onto a bright living room with a fitted open-plan kitchen, a wood burner, and two large sliding glass doors leading to a big east- and south-facing terrace, largely built above one of the garages. The breathtaking views of the grounds, which the owners have meticulously maintained and enhanced, are truly remarkable. To the left of the living room is a bedroom with custom-built storage and a window overlooking the garden, followed by an en-suite bathroom fitted with whirlpool bathtub and shower, and a toilet. Finally, from the living room, a custom-built staircase leads to a mezzanine office located in the converted attic space.Excellent energy labelAs briefly mentioned in the introduction, the property benefits from and generates natural energy sources: although it is also connected to the mains water supply, the house is entirely supplied with year-round water thanks to a spring filtered by the owner. Besides, electricity is largely generated (without resale) by 12 photovoltaic panels. The house is connected to a compliant, septic tank system. You will also not find any lead nor asbestos on the property. The exterior façade still needs to be plastered.Several outbuildings and a splendid parkThere are four storage garages, three of which are attached to the house, for a total area of over 1.300 Sqft. In addition, there are several small hay sheds scattered throughout the grounds. You can keep your own animals to maintain the fully fenced property. A large 1 1/8-acre pond and a smaller pond, both fed by different springs—a true blessing—are separated by the main vehicle access on the east side. A second gated access is also available on the northwest side, closer to the buildings. There is a vegetable garden near the pond and various spots to relax and admire the surrounding nature.Access and AmenitiesThis idyllic spot is located near the villages with amenities of Saint-Germain-les-Belles and Magnac-Bourg (ca. 10 minutes).
