About this place
This property presents a unique renovation opportunity, comprising two substantial attached houses that have been converted into eight apartments. Nestled in the tranquil village of Oradour Sur Vayres in Limousin, the site retains historical significance, originally serving as a gentleman's house and later as a local Gendarmerie. It features lovely original elements such as oak panel flooring and ornate covings, alongside ample living space across three floors.
The property’s layout includes a mix of one and two-bedroom apartments, with generous areas suitable for conversion into diverse accommodation options, including a potential chambre d'hôte. The primary building offers grand reception rooms with large marble surrounds on the fireplaces, while the barns provide additional scope for development, including a mezzanine floor.
With spectacular views of the surrounding countryside, the south-facing property enjoys ample sunlight throughout the day. The smaller house offers a spacious modern layout, ideal for guest accommodation with the possibility of incorporating ensuite facilities. This asset comes with a large garden area, historical charm, and the benefit of being located within a village known for its annual celebrations and friendly community atmosphere.

Buying property in France
France places no restrictions on foreign property ownership. The notaire (a public official, not a lawyer for either side) handles the conveyance and is paid by the buyer. A French bank account is strongly recommended for completion funds and ongoing charges.
No residency requirement to buy.
Non-resident mortgages available from French banks, typically 70–80% LTV with stricter affordability checks.
France abolished taxe d'habitation on primary residences (2023) but it still applies to second homes — and many communes now apply a surcharge of up to 60% on second homes in high-demand zones.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
