At last this wonderful property is available for rental! It has taken the owners over 5 years of meticulous planning and work to complete and it has been worth it! The property comprises the main section of a huge barn converted to provide the living areas, a courtyard garden on the ground floor and heated swimming pool at first floor level all contained within the barn walls to give complete seclusion and privacy. There are additional gardens/terraces around the property.
A short driveway leads from the country lane up to the front of the property and cars can be parked near the house. There is a grass and graveled area to the front providing a play area for children, table tennis, volley ball and swing.
Doorway through to the tiled Courtyard Garden with table, chairs, sun umbrella. French doors lead from here into the house and another door opens onto the back garden. At the back of the property is an enclosed rear garden with terrace, barbecue, table and chairs and grass area.
A flight of steps from here leads up through a doorway to the heated Swimming Pool and terrace at first floor level. The Terrace around the pool has sun beds, table, chairs & umbrella. The pool is 8m x 4m x 1.5m deep, it is surrounded by the barn walls to provide a lovely private sheltered location and open to the sky above, a quite unique setting. Gates on either side of the terrace can be closed to make the swimming pool fully secure for young children.
Fishing - 4 Hectare private fishing lake with carp (10kg+), zander & pike (5kg), perch and tench, located just 3km away
There is chestnut flooring throughout except in the kitchen.
The bedrooms all have fitted cupboards and lovely soft furnishings. The bathrooms are all beautifully fitted.

The property is situated in the tiny hamlet of "Lartimache" just 2.5 km from La Chapelle Montbrandeix on the borders of the Dordogne and Haute Vienne. Local shopping is at Cussac and St. Mathieu (a large leisure lake here). Lively markets are held each week at nearby Piegut and Nontron, both good towns for shopping. There is an excellent choice of local restaurants to suit every budget - "Chez Jules" at La Chapelle Montbrandeix is 5 minutes away and "Hostellerie St Jacques", a gourmet's feast, at St Saud Lacoussiere, just a 15 minute drive.
This is an unspoilt region of rolling wooded countryside interspersed with numerous rivers and lakes. This beautiful area has been designated a Regional Park - the Parc Regional de Perigord Limousin - you will find plenty of interesting information at the house and local Syndicat d'Initiative
The area is full of fascinating market towns - you can choose a different market practically every day to browse around. Interesting Chateaux and a range of cultural activities are nearby with the larger centres of Limoges, Perigueux and Angouleme all within an hour's drive. For a day out try wine tasting at one of the famous vineyards near Bordeaux, brandy at Cognac, exploring the Dordogne Valley or even a trip to the coast of the Charente Maritime.
