Down an unassuming quiet road just outside of La Souterraine there is a treasure waiting to be discovered. The best way to approach is parking at the top of the sweeping driveway and to walk down through the stone columned gateway. As you approach the sound of the natural spring fed courtyard fountain washes away the cares of the day and you can feel the grounds reach out to embrace you.
Through the gates the true magic of the grounds reveal themselves as your eye is drawn across the carefully managed garden and land. The south facing views carry down across the paddocks, across the water feature, out over the woodlands and away to the foothills in the distance.
We have only a limited amount of photos to try and present this special property to you and we could have used them all on the scenery alone. And then you turn around and the Hunting Lodge presents itself in its commanding position to take advantage of the vista below.
With 6 bedrooms and over 230 m2 of space the detached house sits well in her surroundings. The kitchen has been modernised and enjoys the south facing views as well as having great access to the patio area outside. There is a butler’s pantry for stocking up when you have guests staying or entertaining.
In the main living area there is a clever use of space and levels which allow for intimate areas for quiet conversation and reading or gatherings around the grand fireplace in the large plush furnishings.
The entire central entertaining and livings space is dominated by the spectacular views of the county setting through the double height glass windows.
In addition to the fireplace the house enjoys the benefits modern central heating and also air conditioning which gives a very favourable energy rating and low running costs.
The barns are in great condition and would provide great space for stables. If you wished to share this paradise with others, maybe this could become additional accommodation or the base for a glamping site.
The Hunting Lodge presents you with an opportunity to own a real slice of paradise settled in the heart of the French countryside. Your local supermarket is 5 minutes by car and you are handily located to the large town of La Souterraine which will service all your needs including trains through to Paris. Limoges airport is a short 40 minute drive.
With the perfect mix of grasslands, woodlands and natural flowing brooks the whole property just resonates with a lovely story of nature.
As hard as we have worked to capture this beautiful home for you, words and pictures do not do it justice. You need to experience this one in person.
There are of course more information, photos and videos available.
