Superb Large Barn Completely and Expertly Renovated, an Elegant Family Residence with all Modern Comforts and a Growing Tourist Business

Summary
For sale: Discover this magnificent, unique, elegant, and lively B&B and gîte property. It is located on the border between Corrèze and Dordogne, 5 km from Pompadour, a popular national equestrian site. 39 km from Brive-la-Gaillarde, with its many activities and tourist attractions, it enjoys a privileged location, supported by active tourism development campaigns.

This house is a magnificent conversion of a very large stone barn. The renovation masterfully combines traditional materials such as the old oak and stone of the original barn with modern architectural elements. It creates an elegant 12-bedroom house on three levels, spanning 615 m². The space is highly flexible and offers all modern comforts, as well as an extremely generous living area.

The current owners occupy an air-conditioned apartment with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a dressing room, and a private lounge on the top floor of the house.

The ground floor comprises five large bedrooms (three doubles and two family rooms) and two additional apartments, intended for tourist accommodation. The middle floor includes a spacious living room, a very large kitchen, a private dining room, a separate pantry, plenty of storage space, a technical room, and a laundry room. This house benefits from a 2 GB fiber optic internet connection.

All bedrooms and amenities are located under the main roof. Each room and gîte has its own private bathroom and direct access to the garden, ensuring a pleasant stay and an emergency exit.

Guests of the B&B and gîte particularly appreciate the tranquility of the setting, the comfort of the beds, and the quality of their sleep. Their comfort is further enhanced by the optimal insulation of the rooms, which are naturally very cool in summer and electrically heated in cold weather. It is the ideal place for your guests to fully relax in a natural setting, far from the stress of the city or the competition of Pompadour.

One of the cottages is adapted for people with reduced mobility and has accommodated people with disabilities, ranging from simple mobility limitations to those confined to wheelchairs.

The house is extremely energy-efficient and runs entirely on electricity (Class C, Index 129). It does not consume fuels such as wood or gas (Class Index 4), resulting in low CO2 emissions.

The property has private parking and a secure 10 x 5 m swimming pool. It is set in over 7,000 m² of land in a lush green setting, surrounded by orchards and other farms.

Guests can enjoy a wide variety of activities for young and old, including numerous equestrian centers, hiking trails, canoeing, hot air ballooning, and cycling, as well as more leisurely activities such as fine restaurants, castles to visit, markets, caves, beautiful villages, zoos, and more.

Numerous shops are easily accessible: bars, takeaways, and restaurants. The village has an excellent bakery, supermarkets, banks, doctors and other medical facilities, garages, gas stations, butchers, pharmacies, and more. You'll find everything you need and the largest hospital nearby, in Brive, just 39 km away.

This property is a going concern (or could be a house large enough to accommodate a large family). We operate through several channels, including our own dedicated website, and boast a 9* rating on Booking.com. We regularly welcome hundreds of guests each year, mainly in the summer. We offer numerous development opportunities with off-season and specific activities, such as cycling weeks, photography or painting, food and wine, hiking, yoga, horseback riding, off-site corporate meetings for local businesses, and many other activities.

If you are looking for a good-value property with an established business, offering an excellent return on investment and growth potential, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are happy to welcome visitors at any time. We speak fluent English, some French, and fluent German.
