Buying Property in Limousin
Where to buy property in Limousin
This region, just southwest of the centre of France, is very rural, and benefits from low property prices. Overseas property buyers will find tranquillity and wonderful countryside here – forest, lakes and rivers abound. Traditional farmhouses and village townhouses are the typical properties found in this area.
Its southern parts are, in more than one sense, a middle ground between the simple farming life of the north and the sophistication of the Dordogne region, to the west, and property prices in Limousin are around 40% cheaper than in its famous neighbour. Traditional old properties for sale in Limousin are the most popular – there is certainly plenty of opportunity to buy a dilapidated old country home in Limousin and renovate, and even habitable homes come at reasonable prices.
Limoges is the capital and a thriving university town – there could be good rental returns for a property investment here. Brive-la-Gaillarde and Guéret are the other departmental capitals, the former an old walled town and the latter a cultural haven surrounded by countryside.
Those looking for an even quieter life might look in and around the towns of La Souterraine, Rochechouart and Tulle. Within minutes of any of them you can find a home in unspoilt countryside and get great value for money in your overseas property.
