5 Acre Lake in Limousin

A secluded angler’s retreat near La Croisille-sur-Briance, set on approximately 7.9 acres of private land and centred around a superb lake of about 5.5 acres, with depths between 1m and 4.8m.

The lake offers exceptional fishing, holding mirror and common carp to around 40lb, along with roach, rudd and pike. The lake record stands at 42lb, and a 2020 stocking added ten carp in the 40lb range, reinforcing the water’s reputation for producing quality fish.

In 2025, improvements were made to the dam wall and the upper peninsula, creating new casting areas and improving access. The relocated stock-pond transfer pipe also enhanced water flow and fish movement.

A basic camping trailer on site provides simple accommodation and sanitation. Although it would benefit from a refresh, it offers functional shelter. Vehicle access down to the water’s edge is easy thanks to the track running through the property.

Surrounded entirely by woodland, the estate delivers complete privacy and a calm, natural atmosphere. Despite its seclusion, the property is only about 50 minutes from Limoges, offering a comfortable balance between tranquillity and practicality.

This private fishing estate spans roughly 7.9 acres, centred on a beautifully natural 5.5-acre lake. With its mix of shallow margins and deeper areas, the water offers varied features for anglers. Paths around the lake and through the trees make the whole site easy to explore.

Strong carp stocks provide consistent sport, with several fish over 40lb. Additional species such as pike, rudd and roach add further variety. The ongoing improvements—dam clearance, reshaped peninsula and upgraded pipework—support a healthy, active fishery.

An older static trailer provides straightforward overnight accommodation and can be upgraded if desired. The track access makes transporting equipment or planning further development simple.

Privacy is a key highlight here; hidden by woodland and without nearby neighbours, the lake feels like a true escape. Wildlife is frequent, and the setting is quiet enough that you could pass nearby without ever knowing such a substantial water lies within the trees.

Just 20 minutes from Saint-Germain-les-Belles and around 50 minutes from Limoges, the location offers rural peace with everyday amenities still within easy reach. For anyone searching for a big-fish venue, a peaceful hideaway, or a natural retreat to enjoy year-round, this lake is well worth viewing.
