Rare historic estate: 5 bed house & one bedroom cottage on almost 12 acres of land, largely woodland & stream
Nestled in the heart of the Vienne countryside, with a peaceful stream running through the grounds, this remarkable property exudes timeless charm. Dating from around 1655, it once belonged to the owner of a historic metalworks and has since been transformed into a serene private retreat. Set within nearly 12 acres of woodland and pasture, it offers exceptional privacy and a deep sense of tranquillity.
The property is ideally located near Lussac‑les‑Châteaux (7.5 km), with its railway links to Poitiers and Limoges, supermarkets, restaurants, cafés and weekly markets. Closer by, Bouresse (4 km) offers a village shop and an excellent hardware store, while Gouex itself (3.5 km) provides year‑round activities for you to get involved in and a beautiful riverside swimming pool belonging to the village.
The nearest airports are Poitiers (45km) and Limoges (80km) and the western channel ports (St Malo, Caen) are about 400 km and Calais is about 650 km.
Through the beautiful heavy wooden front door, you enter an inviting entrance hall (approx. 12 m²) leading into a stunning living room (approx. 30 m²) featuring an elegant arched cupboard with half‑glazed doors and a large open fireplace.

The sleeping area features a bed on the main level and a ladder leading to an additional loft sleeping space. The remainder of the attic offers a bright living area with Velux windows (with blinds) and a flat window overlooking the garden.
