Charming 3 bed property with courtyard and outbuildings

This charming character property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in one of France’s most fascinating geological regions. Located in the picturesque village of Chabanais, within the world-renowned Rochechouart meteorite impact zone, the home is built using distinctive local stone formed by a meteorite strike over 200 million years ago — a truly unique feature that gives the property exceptional character and authenticity.

You enter the property into a welcoming living room featuring wooden flooring and double-glazed windows at the front. From here, you continue through to the kitchen, which provides direct access to the courtyard. On the opposite side of the kitchen, a door leads to the dining room, which also benefits from its own access to the courtyard. A staircase from the kitchen takes you up to the first floor, where you will find three bedrooms. One of the bedrooms is currently accessed through another; however, a partition wall could easily be installed to create separate, private spaces if desired. The WC is located within the shower room.

The courtyard offers approximately 110 m² of outdoor space and includes a small hangar and two additional outbuildings. These could be readily converted into a gîte or guest accommodation (with planning permission granted) and the buildings benefit from a new roof.

The house retains beautiful original elements, including exposed impact stone visible on the façade and around the kitchen window, connecting the home directly to the region’s extraordinary past. The date “1777” displayed above one of the openings reflects its long history and adds to its architectural charm.

Outside, the enclosed courtyard provides a private and peaceful setting, ideal for outdoor dining and relaxing in the French sunshine. An old well adds further character and potential.

The property is already connected to fibre optic internet, making it ideal for remote working, while local services are available for garden and property maintenance — allowing for easy ownership and stress-free management from abroad.

Situated in a vibrant and friendly village, you will find restaurants, cafés, shops, medical facilities, schools, and a weekly market all within easy reach. The location offers excellent access to the cities of Angoulême and Limoges, with international airports providing convenient connections to the UK and the rest of Europe.

This is an ideal opportunity for international buyers seeking a character home in France — whether as a holiday retreat, permanent residence, or investment property — combining history, authenticity, and relaxed French village living in a truly unique setting.

There is also an additional parcel of land available for purchase should you wish to extend the outdoor space (Ref. A42448ANM16).
