12.5 acre lake in Limousin

Situated within walking distance of the lively rural town of Chéneréilles—with its supermarket, bakery, restaurants, bars, and wide range of local services—this established fishing lake offers both convenience and tranquillity. The lake holds official status as a fish farm and is also authorised for tourism, allowing both private and paying anglers to enjoy the waters legally.

Set on 10 hectares (approx. 25 acres) of land, this impressive 12.35-acre lake provides an exceptional natural setting. The water reaches depths of up to 2.5 metres and is fully compliant with regulations. Stock levels were renewed in recent years, and carp of 55lb+ are now regularly caught, alongside other native freshwater species. The lake is stream-fed, ensuring consistent water movement and quality.

Perfect as a peaceful retreat or as the base for a small-scale fishing venture, the site offers a serene natural backdrop without being isolated. The land is non-constructible, preserving the unspoilt environment, yet the lake benefits from practical access via a small road leading to parking areas. Simple WC facilities with a dry toilet are already in place.

Currently, there are two well-placed swims on opposite sides of the lake, and anglers have access to roughly three-quarters of the shoreline. There is significant potential to create additional swims, expanding the capacity and income opportunities through exclusive or non-exclusive hire.

Although the site has no existing accommodation and is not connected to water or electricity, its proximity to town amenities—and easy access by car to major routes including the A20 and A71—makes it highly practical for visiting anglers.

This is an excellent opportunity for anyone seeking a large, legally authorised fishing lake with strong carp stocks, privacy, and genuine potential for a tourism-based angling business.
