Stunning 5-Bedroom Barn Conversion with 2 Gîtes, Swimming Pool, Woodland & Stocked Fishing Lake
Set in a peaceful hamlet near Ladignac-le-Long, on the border of the Haute-Vienne and Dordogne, this impressive barn conversion offers generous living space, two separate gîtes, an in-ground pool, woodland and a private, stocked lake. In total, the estate covers around 14.8 acres, including a mix of open land and mature trees.
The conversion has kept much of the character of the original barn, with exposed stonework, beams and wide, open rooms. The main house centres around a superb kitchen–dining room of about 57 m², with tiled flooring, wood cabinetry and a wood-burning stove that not only heats the room but also connects to the central heating system. A utility room (11 m²) sits just off the kitchen. The 47 m² living room feels warm and inviting, with its stone walls, wooden floor and patio doors leading to a covered terrace. A ground-floor WC and a small office corner complete this level.
Upstairs, you’ll find a flexible bedroom/office (5.6 m²), a second bedroom (14 m²), a WC with basin, and a modern bathroom with bath, walk-in shower and WC. Bedroom three (9.7 m²) includes its own office/dressing area (6.7 m²) and a private shower room. The master bedroom (19.7 m²) has wood flooring, exposed beams and double patio doors opening onto a raised terrace overlooking the land and lake. The adjoining bathroom features a double basin, WC and a tropical steam-shower unit with multiple settings, lights and music.
The house is fully double-glazed and benefits from heating via the wood stove, gas or electricity. It also has fast satellite internet (with a permanent English IP address) and a septic tank.
Gîte 1 (attached to the main house) includes a 21 m² living area with wood burner, a spacious 27 m² bedroom, a dining area, kitchen and shower room.
Gîte 2, separate from the house, offers a living room with mezzanine sleeping area, kitchen, bedroom and shower room—ideal for guests or holiday rentals.
The in-ground figure-of-eight pool (10 × 5 m) sits beside the terrace and comes with a pool house containing a bar, WC and a room formerly used as a sauna (the sauna itself is not included but negotiable).
A two-bedroom static caravan is also part of the sale, set on a constructible plot with its own septic tank—useful for rentals or extended family stays. Outside, there is a 16 m² garage, a car port, terraced BBQ area and a vegetable garden.
The land stretches gently away from the house to the private lake of about 2.2 acres, recently stocked with carp up to 40 lb as well as roach, pike and other species. A small wooden cabin sits by the water, making it a lovely spot for relaxing or fishing. The grounds also include woodland near the lake and a separate wood of over 3.2 acres located just a few minutes from the house.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious home with strong holiday-rental potential, beautiful outdoor spaces and a stocked lake—all set in a quiet, rural location yet close to village amenities.
