Just 40 minutes north of Limoges, this 1913 Belle Époque villa rests quietly on the edge of a peaceful village. Surrounded by more than 1 hectare of private parkland, it offers timeless charm and generous space.
At first glance, the home feels grand but welcoming. The stone façade, slate roof, and tower-like projection give it character. Inside, natural light fills every room. Moreover, original features—oak floors, marble fireplaces, and tall ceilings—remain beautifully intact.
The layout flows with ease. A bright kitchen, complete with its original fireplace, connects directly to the garden. Meanwhile, a spacious living room and adjoining dining area offer space for gathering. A shower room adds convenience on the same floor.
Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms await. Two overlook the garden. One includes a private bath. Furthermore, the top floor holds two more bedrooms, another shower room, and a sunny attic—ready to convert.
Although the house feels elegant, it is also practical. The full basement spans the entire home. As a result, there’s ample room for storage, systems, and workspace.

The former barn has also been thoughtfully converted. On the ground floor, it includes a rustic kitchen and dining area with exposed beams. Above, a large loft works well as a guest room, playroom, or studio. In addition, a summer shower and toilet are located nearby.
The pool sits in a sunny corner of the garden. Surrounded by a wide deck, it offers plenty of space for sunbeds and shade. Even so, the setting feels peaceful and private. Meanwhile, the tennis court is neatly tucked away among mature trees.
The garden is rich and full of life. Early in the year, camellias, roses, and hydrangeas bloom. Later, the orchard comes alive. Apple, fig, quince, and pear trees offer fruit throughout the summer. Moreover, rare trees such as ginkgo, liquidambar, and cedar grow beside native oaks and lime.
Although secluded, the house is close to everything you need. Bellac is just 12 minutes away. Mortemart—one of France’s most beautiful villages—is also nearby. Therefore, you enjoy both privacy and access.
All in all, this is a complete country estate in miniature. Whether you imagine a family retreat, creative escape, or future hospitality project, this villa offers the perfect foundation.
After all, homes with this kind of charm and land don’t come along often. Lovingly maintained by one family for over a century, it is now ready for its next chapter.
