Working sheep farm on 52 ha for sale with barns. Haute Vienne

The property is situated in a small hamlet just 5 km from the historic market town of Le Dorat in the Haute Vienne (87) – which is essentially sheep and cattle grazing countryside.
In 2018, Le Dorat was actually chosen to be the location of the World Sheep Shearing Championship.

This working sheep farm comes with a delightful 4 bedroom house with a small 16m2 footprint barn to the rear, a 100 m2 barn opposite now divided to create a pleasing office/studio that could be converted, with planning permission, to a Gite, another barn and hangar assembly attached to an old farm house to fully renovate just 300m away.
A 300m2 tunnel barn has recently been installed behind this assembly.

The 52 hectares of essentially attached land surrounds the hamlet. There is also a small lake.
The land is suitable to carry up to say 350 ewes with land in reserve for the production of cereals for winter feeding purposes.

Excluding the per head sheep subsidies, the farm benefits from DPB and ICHN subsidies.

The house, with lots of beautiful oak beams and exposed stone walls provides over 120m2 of living accommodation on three floors comprising on the ground floor an expansive living/dining room with log burner with French doors which open up onto the terrace at the side of the house with superb countryside views, a fitted kitchen and shower room with WC.

On the first floor landing there is sufficient space for a small office, plus two bedrooms and a shower room with WC.

On the second floor, accessed via a continuation of the original oak staircase, there are two further bedrooms, the second one of which requires a certain amount of ingenuity to by-pass the beautiful oak A-frame that bisects the room.

If required the house could be extended into the small attached barn at the rear of the property either at ground floor level only (to extend both the living room and the kitchen) or at ground floor and first floor level to add additional space off the first floor landing (to add an additional bedroom for example).

The all year round international airport at Limoges is only 53 km (53 minutes) away. In addition to its excellent day to day facilities, Le Dorat also benefits from rail services to Limoges and Poitiers; the latter affording cross platform TGV connections to Paris and Bordeaux also London and Brussels.
