    On the second floor, a walkway leads to two attic bedrooms with parquet floors.

    The renovation has been meticulously executed, incorporating a subtle blend of old materials (terracotta floor tiles, beams, exposed repointed stone, etc.) and a contemporary touch (aluminum materials, staircases, excellent insulation of the roof and north-facing walls, double glazing, and recent electrical installation). A new central heating system with radiators has been installed, to which the buyer can connect their energy source (wood or pellet boiler, heat pump, etc.) according to their choice.

    In a secluded corner of the land, a yurt of approximately 40m² with a huge terrace overlooks the property and offers views of the Brionnais meadows. Its interior design remains to be completed, as does part of the terrace floor.

    Summary
    A beautifully restored 3-bedroom country home with large barn, extensive gardens, and outbuildings, located in a peaceful hamlet near Luchapt, Vienne. Once three stone cottages, now thoughtfully converted into a spacious, characterful residence with over 2,500m² of land.

Set opposite a tranquil holistic retreat and surrounded by open countryside, this is the ideal property for peaceful retirement living or as a countryside holiday escape. Full of potential, charm, and privacy—offered at an attractive price for a quick sale.

    Location
    Situated in the commune of Luchapt, in the Vienne department (Nouvelle-Aquitaine), the property is nestled in a small, quiet hamlet surrounded by open fields and farmland. The village of Luchapt is just 1.5km away, and larger towns such as L’Isle Jourdain (8km), Availles-Limouzine (15km), and Confolens (25km) offer supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, pharmacies, and leisure activities. The house is ideally positioned for peace and tranquillity, while still being within easy reach of practical amenities. The nearby countryside is known for its beauty, wildlife, and calm rural lifestyle.

    Access
    The house is well connected for travel. Limoges Airport (60km) and Poitiers Airport (70km) are both approximately one hour away, each offering regular direct flights to and from the UK. The nearest train station is Lussac-les-Châteaux (30km), with onward connections to Poitiers and Limoges, both of which offer high-speed TGV rail links to Paris, Bordeaux, and even London (via Lille). Local roads are quiet and easy to navigate, making this an ideal base for both permanent living and holiday getaways.

    Interior
    The property offers around 188m² of habitable space over two floors and includes three double bedrooms, a large open-plan kitchen/dining area, a comfortable lounge with wood-burning stove, and modern fittings throughout. The home features double glazing, two wood burners for heating, and SolarVenti solar air panels to keep the house dry and fresh during long absences. The interior has been tastefully finished to a high standard, blending rustic character with modern comfort, and is ready to move-in.

    Exterior
    Outside, the property sits on over 2,500m² of private land, including mature gardens, fruit trees (apple, pear, vines), soft fruit bushes (blackberries, currants, blueberries, strawberries), raised vegetable beds, and a polytunnel. A large barn/workshop in excellent condition provides ample space for storage, DIY, or even conversion potential (subject to planning). A pergola-covered stone patio with BBQ and a part-converted outdoor kitchen in a separate outbuilding create a fantastic outdoor living and entertaining area. The property adjoins a small, quiet neighbouring house (semi-detached), but privacy is fully maintained with a solid boundary wall and completely separate access and layout.

    Additional Details
    Semi-detached to a small, quiet neighbouring home at the rear of the property (entirely independent, no impact on privacy)

    Directly opposite a discreet holistic retreat (max 4–5 guests), enhancing the peaceful atmosphere

    The house has not been lived in full-time for over a year: some parts of the garden are naturally overgrown, but photos reflect the full potential when maintained

    Ideal as a retirement home, countryside retreat, or lifestyle change property

    All main renovations completed since 2008, including roof, windows, and internal conversions

    Currently listed at a price to encourage early interest
