Comfortable off-Grid Cabin and Small Lake Hidden Away on 9825m² ‘in the Woods' Plot.

Property Description

This haven of peace consists of a maisonnette and lake (approx. 4600m²) with a bridge to an island. It is surrounded by forest and a small amount of land; according to the owner, just 6 hours a month are needed to keep nature at bay. The footprint of the house is 52m². It has a south-facing terrace looking down the lake. Tucked at the back is a 20m² garage/workshop. The property is off-grid -that's to say there is no mains water or electricity. Effective solar panels and a diesel generator do the job. The water is from a well, using a solar powered electric pump to fill a 300 litre tank in the loft and rain water is also recuperated from the gutters. The house is very comfortable. It has a fitted kitchen and snug chimney hearth with a free-standing wood burner, adjacent to a cast iron wood burning cooker with back boiler to heat the domestic hot water and supply heat to radiators. The roof is insulated so winter living is totally feasible. Off the bedroom end of the main 45m² room is a small bathroom and separate dry toilet although this could be reverted to a flushing WC if the septic tank was updated. The attic could be modified to create a mezzanine bedroom. As annex guest accommodation there's a 4 berth static camping van sold with the property though no log book supplied. A sturdy fibreglass ‘unsinkable’ rowboat is included. An ideal buy for nature lovers to get away from it all! Only 35 minutes to Limoges airport.
