Features and description

Magnificent Restored 12th-Century Chapel – Exceptional Property

Location:

- In the heart of Limousin
- Close to major roads

Horse Immo presents this magnificent 12th-century chapel, fully restored and converted into an exceptional residence, set within 1.76 hectares. An additional 15.7 hectares of fenced land can be purchased separately; it is equipped with two water troughs connected to the mains water supply and is just a few minutes from the property.

Surrounded by rolling pastures and ancient woodland, the property is nestled in the heart of a beautiful landscaped park offering a wonderful sense of tranquillity.
A stream winds alongside a traditional apple orchard, while remarkable trees-including magnificent oaks, walnut trees and centuries-old lime trees-stand throughout the park.
The enchanting landscape changes with the seasons. Rhododendrons, magnolias, wisteria, camellias, lilacs, eucalyptus, fig trees, plum trees and a wide variety of flowering shrubs complete this exceptional botanical setting.

The chapel offers approximately 270 m2 of living space and has retained all the distinctive character of its original architecture: Ancient stonework, impressive volumes, frescoes and period architectural features sit alongside bespoke contemporary fittings, in a particularly successful balance.

A comfortable, warm and welcoming home.

Ground floor:

- An impressive reception room of approximately 75 m2, with a ceiling height of nearly 6 metres, showcases the scale of the property. An antique open fireplace, stone walls and the chapel’s original volumes give this space a unique, welcoming atmosphere.

- The bespoke fitted kitchen, with hand-crafted wooden cabinetry, is set within the original circular tower. Generous work surfaces and a central island provide functionality and understated luxury. Original stone openings flood the room with natural light, while rare medieval Templar cross motifs add a distinctive touch.

First floor:

- A magnificent circular principal suite features three windows with stone arches, fragments of original 12th-century frescoes and far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. It also has an adjoining shower room with a walk-in shower.

- Overlooking the living room, an L-shaped library provides a private place to work or read and offers a striking view of the main room’s impressive volume.

Second floor:

- A second charming circular bedroom full of character
- A dressing room
- A spacious, well-proportioned bathroom with a shower and bathtub
- A generously sized principal suite with an elegant study area

Outside, there are two large barns of approximately 375 m2, offering a range of possibilities:
- Garage, workshop, reception spaces or event projects, subject to the necessary permissions

- A removable summer lodge
- Jacuzzi
- Sauna
- Changing room and shower

A truly private and unusual property for lovers of heritage and character homes seeking an unspoilt setting.
