Creuse - Stunning Countryside Property with a 2.5 Hectare Carp Fishing Lake and over 22 Hectares Attached Land.

Property Description

Situated in the heart of the Creuse countryside between La Souterraine and Bourganeuf, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a peaceful and private estate surrounded by nature. Comprising two fully renovated houses, a range of outbuildings, equestrian facilities and a stunning 2.5-hectare carp fishing lake, the property extends across approximately 24 hectares of attached land made up of pasture and woodland, all enjoying beautiful uninterrupted views.
The main house is a superbly renovated stone cottage finished to a high standard and positioned to take full advantage of the views over the lake and surrounding countryside. On the ground floor there is an entrance hallway with original flagstone flooring, a dining room with access to the terrace, and a modern fully equipped kitchen and dining space with two large sets of French doors opening onto a sun terrace that enjoys some of the finest views on the property, along with a separate WC. The first floor offers two bedrooms, a bathroom and WC, while the second floor provides a spacious master bedroom.
The second house, ideal as a gîte or guest accommodation, is also fully renovated and offers on the ground floor a fitted open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area along with an entrance hallway. The first floor comprises two bedrooms and a bathroom with views over the sand school and lake, and the second floor features a large additional bedroom.
The exterior of the property is equally impressive and is accessed through large double gates, ensuring complete privacy with no direct neighbours. The grounds include three horse boxes, a 20 by 40 metre sand school which requires minor finishing but for which materials are already on site, a large hay barn, a secure storage building ideal for machinery or fishing equipment, and a substantial two-level stone workshop offering potential for conversion subject to the necessary permissions.
A key feature of this estate is the 2.5-hectare fishing lake, which is currently undergoing works to meet the standards required by the Direction Départementale des Territoires (DDT) and will be sold subject to the issue of a new 30-year licence. The lake is already an established and reputable business, generating approximately 25,000 euros per year while operating for only 14 weeks annually, and is fully booked until 2028. There is clear potential to extend the operating season to 26 weeks, significantly increasing revenue. The lake contains an impressive stock of carp, including several trophy fish exceeding 70 pounds, and buyers have the option to retain the existing stock for an additional cost or to replace it with a newly stocked selection included within the sale.
In addition, the gîte currently generates around 8,000 euros per year, although this has not been fully exploited and could be increased considerably with more focused management.
This is a unique opportunity to acquire a lifestyle property offering tranquillity, privacy and significant business potential. Whether walking for kilometres across your own land, enjoying the lake and woodland, or developing the existing income streams further, this is a property that truly needs to be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.
