A rare opportunity to purchase an isolated property with a 2.2 hectare fishing lake
Located just 30 minutes from Limoges and its airport, this is a rare chance to purchase a private fishing lake, woodland, and a fully renovated modern home in the heart of the Haute-Vienne countryside. The setting is quiet, secluded, and completely private, accessed via a gravel track with no close neighbours.
The Lake:
The property includes a commercial 2.25-hectare fishing lake, well-stocked with an outstanding population of catfish (including some over 100 lbs) and carp up to 77 lbs. The lake is known for its excellent water quality, consistent oxygen levels without aeration, and a natural food supply, making it a favourite with anglers. It has four fishing swims, a dedicated lakeside chalet with cooking facilities, a shower, and WC, and vehicle access around much of the perimeter.
Business Opportunity:
The current owners rent the lake on a limited basis during the summer for €1,200 per week, but there is potential to develop a more intensive commercial operation offering exclusive weeks, packages, or drive-and-survive experiences, thanks to the long fishing season and ideal climate. This is a proven business model that could be scaled easily.
The House:
The main house is a modern, light-filled bungalow offering approx. 116 m² of living space, with an open-plan lounge, dining area, and kitchen leading onto a sun terrace with forest views. There are three double bedrooms, a bathroom with WC, an office, and a spacious layout ideal for permanent living or a lock-up-and-leave lifestyle. The home sits in its own clearing with garden and woodland views on all sides.
This property would suit keen anglers, lifestyle buyers seeking privacy, or those looking to run a specialist fishing business. It is well placed with excellent access via the A20, close to Limoges and local amenities.
The lake is equipped with a chalet that includes cooking facilities, a shower, and a separate toilet.
Approximately 300 meters down a gravel track, you will find the stunning 2.25-hectare lake, which offers complete privacy and access around its perimeter part by vehicle and part by foot. The lake is laid out with four swims and is equipped with a chalet that includes cooking facilities, a shower, and a separate toilet. While not operated as a full-time business, the lake is currently rented out for exclusive use during the summer for euros1,200 per week. The owners choose how many weeks to allow, but there is potential to establish a lucrative full-time fishing business, offering full packages or 'drive-and-survive' options for at least 20 to 25 weeks a year, given the local climate and long summers.
From a business perspective, the lake is fully stocked with an impressive catfish population, with some individuals weighing well over 100 lbs. Additionally, there is a healthy head of carp, with specimens reaching up to 77 lbs. The lake is entirely natural, maintaining a good flow of water year-round and optimal oxygen levels without the need for aerators. The abundance of natural food sources is reflected in the quality of the fish, with catfish and carp cohabitating and records continuously being broken. This lake is truly a fisherman's dream and stands out among the many lakes sold over the past 20 years, thanks to its incredible settings.
Compreignac is a peaceful commune in the Haute-Vienne department, part of the scenic Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in central France. The area is known for its unspoilt countryside, rolling hills, and abundance of lakes, making it a paradise for nature lovers, walkers, and anglers alike.
The property is ideally located just a short drive from Limoges, which offers a full range of shops, restaurants, schools, and transport connections including a TGV station and international airport. The A20 motorway provides quick access north to Châteauroux and south to Brive-la-Gaillarde and Toulouse. The area is also popular with tourists, especially those seeking fishing holidays and outdoor activities, adding to the appeal for anyone looking to generate an income from the lake.
