Limousin, Haute-Vienne, La Croisille-sur-Briance, France

A40990AR87 - Discover a private angler’s paradise just outside La Croisille-sur-Briance: a serene estate of over 32,000 square metres centered on a substantial lake of approximately 22,400 square metres.

This is a haven where water, woodlands, and quietude come together to create a truly immersive nature experience. The lake’s contours give you a mix of shallow margins and deeper pockets, with depths ranging from 1 metre up to a solid 4.8 metres in prime fishing zones. Tucked away behind mature trees, the setting invites you to slow the pace, listen to the wind in the pines, and let the day’s cares drift away with the ripples on the surface.

For dedicated anglers, the fishing here is compelling. The waters host a diverse mix of species, including Mirror Carp and Common Carp to 40 pounds, along with Roach, Rudd, and Pike. The lake record stands at a mighty 42 pounds, a reminder of the quality and potential that lies beneath the surface. Fresh stocking in 2020 added another wave of opportunities, with 10 carp in the 40-pound class joining the colony. For the keen angler, every season holds the promise of chasing a new personal best, with the possibility of encountering a true monster in this well-balanced water body.

Significant improvements have expanded the lake’s capabilities and accessibility. In 2025, the dam wall was cleared, along with the peninsula at the top of the lake, to create new opportunities to enhance your fishing experience. The pipe connecting the stock pond to the main lake has also been replaced, promoting better water flow and fish movement, which can translate into more consistent and rewarding encounters on the bank.

The property includes an older-style camping trailer that provides basic accommodation and sanitation. While it offers functional shelter, it will benefit from a light upgrade and cleanup to bring it up to modern use. The land is accessible by track, allowing vehicles and heavier equipment to travel down toward the water, making it practical for maintenance, equipment, or a more developed lakeside setup if you choose to invest in enhancements.

Privacy and tranquillity are standout virtues here. Surrounded by forest lands, the site is wonderfully quiet, with wildlife frequently spotted and the gentle sounds of nature all around. You can easily drive past the lake without realizing what you’ve missed—until you stop and pause to take in the scene. This is a rare opportunity to own a large, self-contained fishing retreat where big fish and big moments await the devoted angler.

Located just 20 minutes from the larger town of Saint-Germain-les-Belles and about 50 minutes from Limoges, you’re never far from amenities, while enjoying the best of rural, water-focused living. If you’re seeking a big-fish sanctuary, a tranquil escape, and the peace of returning to nature, this is a lake you should definitely be seeing
