HAUTE VIENNE - Stunning isolated 15 hectare agricultural property ideal for equestrian use

Nestled in the heart of the beautiful Haute-Vienne countryside, close to the charming village of Rancon, this exceptional 300-year-old stone farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to create a truly remarkable rural retreat. Bursting with authenticity and original character, the property retains all the rustic charm you would hope to find in a historic French farmhouse, while being surrounded by approximately 15.5 hectares of prime agricultural land, making it ideal for equestrian pursuits, a smallholding, or anyone dreaming of a peaceful country lifestyle.

The farmhouse itself is both welcoming and full of period features. The ground floor offers a spacious lounge and living room centred around a traditional fireplace, now complemented by a pellet burner for additional comfort. Many original details remain, including the charming built-in wall cupboard once used as a traditional farmhouse refrigerator. There is also a WC, a classic country-style farmhouse kitchen, an office, and a utility room. On the first floor are three generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Connected internally to the main house is the old forge, complete with its original bread oven, along with a vast attic space offering enormous potential to create additional bedrooms and a spectacular upper lounge overlooking the enclosed courtyard.

The property already benefits from a new roof, although a modern compliant septic tank system will need to be installed as part of the renovation.

Outside is where this wonderful property truly comes into its own. Approached via a quiet country lane, the farm welcomes you with a private driveway passing an independent barn ideal for livestock or stabling, as well as the atmospheric ruins of the old chapel. The driveway leads into a fully enclosed courtyard framed by the farmhouse, two substantial barns, a piggery, and former dog kennels, all creating an incredibly authentic farmstead setting. Beyond the courtyard, the land stretches away into the valley behind the property, revealing breathtaking panoramic views across rolling countryside as far as the eye can see. The rich pastureland is perfectly suited for horses and livestock, while a naturally flat section offers the perfect location for the installation of a full-size sand arena.

Priced to sell, this is an outstanding opportunity for anyone seeking a renovation project with genuine agricultural potential. With vision and modernisation, this enchanting farmhouse could be transformed into an exceptional country estate in one of rural France's most picturesque settings. (6.00 % fees incl.
