Limousin Property
Limousin, just southwest of the centre of France, is very rural, and Limousin property prices are low. Limousin 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 Limousin property prices are around 40% cheaper than in its famous neighbour. Traditional old Limousin property is the most popular – there is certainly plenty of opportunity to buy a dilapidated old Limousin property 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 Limousin 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 Limousin property in unspoilt countryside and get great value for money in your Limousin property.
