Description

EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES! We are proud to present this impeccably restored stone property, situated in the picturesque village of Rilhac-Lastours, famous for its château and 12th-century church. Steeped in history dating back to the 17th century, the property has been carefully renovated in a contemporary style that perfectly blends the old with the new.



Overlooking the village with panoramic views of Limoges, you enter via a large shaded terrace, leading into the cosy kitchen and, beyond that, the elegant and refined living room. Features such as the original beams, the wood-burning stove and the bespoke bookcase lend an atmosphere of comfort and luxury.



The ground floor provides access to the guest wing via an architect-designed walkway leading to a bright, airy and modern double bedroom, featuring an en suite bathroom with twin washbasins and a large walk-in shower with a built-in bench seat, as well as a WC. You will also find a small kitchenette, a WC and a room opening onto the garden on the lower level. This room features large French windows opening onto a small private terrace at the side of the house, the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee in the sunshine, with external access to a shared path alongside the house. This annex can be separated from the main part of the house and has previously been let out by the owners during the summer months (possible gite business - subject to necessary permissions).



The highlight of this magnificent house is the original spiral staircase, crafted from granite, which rises through the heart of the building. Following it leads you to the first floor, where there are two large bedrooms, a dressing room and a spacious bathroom with a WC. The master bedroom features two fireplace surrounds dating from 1629, the year the house was built.



Continuing up the staircase, you reach a cinema room, a study and a bathroom situated in the attic. This space could easily be converted into a charming suite if required, or retained as a workspace for anyone needing to work from home. The property is fully double-glazed and features a recent oil-fired condensing central heating system connected to radiators.



The final hidden gem of this property is the well-established orchard situated at the foot of the feudal mound, below the historic church. This enclosed area features a small spring in one corner and a pretty stream running alongside it, as well as fruit trees such as cherry, apple and pear. It is the ideal spot to enjoy the sunsets in this magnificent historic corner of the Haute-Vienne.



Although the property has a very peaceful and intimate atmosphere, you are just a few kilometres from the nearest train station and a 5-minute drive from Nexon town centre with its amenities and schools, whilst Limoges airport and the city centre are both around a 30-minute drive away.



Please don’t hesitate to contact us to book a viewing and discover this little gem of a property for yourself.

About Beaux Villages Immobilier, Gironde

3 Rue Robert Descorne, 33580 Monségur

Beaux Villages Immobilier specialises in property for sale in southern France. We pride ourselves on treating everyone – whether looking to purchase or sell a property – as an important individual, not a financial opportunity.

We all live and work in southern France and as buyers ourselves, we remember what it was like to take that leap of faith and trust an agent we didn't really know. We go the extra mile to take the stress out of buying a property whether your budget is €100k or €100 million.

France is the top destination of choice for property buyers in Europe. A stable property market, low crime, long life expectancy, low population density, diverse culture and world famous health, education and transport systems are frequently quoted. This has been our own personal happy experience.

Based in southern France, we are the first port of call for thousands of people each year who are looking to buy a home here.

Covering the entire southern half of France from the Atlantic coast across to the Mediterranean and the alps, our patch includes some of the prettiest villages and towns and most beautiful countryside and coast in the whole of France.

We have the know-how you need

Beaux Villages Immobilier is an estate agency with unbeatable local and legal knowledge; we are here to help every step of the way. Our central ethos is a complete respect for the life-changing events involved in buying or selling a property. So, if you have questions or need advice, fire away.

At every stage of the process from initial enquiry to the day of completion and beyond you will have a named contact in the company. Our expert sales team and dedicated, office-based administrative and legal professionals will be available at all times to take your call.

The company

Beaux Villages Immobilier was founded at the start of the financial crisis in early 2008 by Lynn Longley. These beginnings, in Monségur, (Gironde) were soon followed by offices in Verteillac and Lalinde (Dordogne). Now we are also well established with teams of property professionals working across the whole of southern France.

Since these early beginnings the team has grown to include several nationalities speaking a dozen languages and incorporating different cultures. Our common denominator is a love of the area that we have chosen to live and work in, and a desire to share that.

Now, post Brexit, we expect to open more offices and cover more areas.
