Its a fishermen’s heaven situated in the heart of the Creuse, isolated at the end of a 1km tree lined drive.
This really is a rare opportunity to buy a little bit a paradise, with a watermill, 2 gites, small apartment, 2 lakes stocked with various fish including carp up to 14 kilos and trout, half a kilometre of riverbank for fishing, full of trout. This property is so tranquil and picturesque it has recently been used for a French movie set on its 8 hectares of land.
On arrival to this property, first is the large house, split into 3 areas, the owner’s accommodation which comprises of kitchen, lounge overlooking the lake and the millpond, 3 bedrooms with lake views bathroom and office. A small bed-sit is also on ground floor level with a French door leading out with views over the lake. This part of the building could do with a little tlc lick of paint and clean up. In the new part of this building is a fabulous 2 bedroom gite with all rooms overlooking the lake, comprising of kitchen, bathroom, lounge/ dining room and 2 bedrooms.
The second gite is a small stone cottage, comprising of kitchen, lounge, bathroom and 3 bedrooms, a small barn attached could be converted into further accommodation.
The 8 hectares of land are split with a mixture of woodland and fields, this would be a good location to keep horses. The land boundaries are the surrounding river where the owner and invited guests only can fish the banks, as the land is fully private with no right of way.
The lakes are fully authorised and meet all current regulations, classed as a closed private waters with night fishing included, because of the feed through the water mill the water in the lakes is crystal clear with a huge amount of oxygen being generated into it a perfect place for the fish to live and this relates to the quality and condition of the fish caught.
Although the current owner has never exploited the lakes and river, and has kept this for a selected few only, the gites have been earning a small revenue each year and are currently registered with Gite de France. This is an ideal position to set up a thriving fishing business with fishermen especially from the UK prepared to pay in excess of 300 euros per week for fishing, and for a party of 6 fishermen with use of a gite this could generate well over 2000 euros per week.
This property really should not be missed and it will not hang around long, this is by far the best lake property I have ever come across.
