Carp Fishing Business with Gîte & 70lb Lake in Coussac-Bonneval

Set within more than 4 hectares (approximately 10 acres) of private countryside in the heart of the Limousin, this exceptional turnkey carp fishing business combines a beautifully stocked lake with charming stone accommodation, extensive outbuildings and genuine lifestyle appeal. With carp reaching up to 70lb, forward bookings already in place, and a pisciculture licence valid until 2034, the property offers a rare opportunity to step directly into an established and profitable angling business with significant growth potential.

The estate includes two attractive stone houses, a swimming pool, barns, terraces and over 10 acres of land, all arranged around a peaceful lake setting that creates a highly desirable destination for visiting anglers and holiday guests alike.

Stone Gîte & Guest Accommodation

Currently operating as the main gîte accommodation, the first stone house is beautifully presented, fully furnished and ready to continue trading immediately.

On the ground floor, a central entrance hallway leads into a welcoming living room of approximately 21m² featuring wooden flooring, a wood-burning fire and patio doors opening towards the grounds. A twin bedroom sits just off the living space, while a second spacious bedroom is positioned alongside a luxurious bathroom complete with roll-top bath, walk-in shower, double basins and heated towel rail. A separate WC adds practicality.

The kitchen combines rustic character with quality fittings, including a central island, traditional-style wood fire, dishwasher and oven. An elegant dining room completes the main living accommodation.

Upstairs are two further generous bedrooms with dual-aspect windows, alongside a shower room with WC. The top floor provides two additional versatile rooms suitable for extra bedrooms, hobby rooms or storage.

Heating is provided via a wood-fuel central heating system, ensuring comfort throughout the year.

Outside, guests can enjoy a private in-ground swimming pool measuring approximately 5m x 3m with surrounding terrace space ideal for relaxing after a day on the lake.

Owner’s House

The second stone house currently serves as the owner’s accommodation but could equally function as additional rental accommodation or another guest gîte.

The ground floor centres around an attractive open-plan living, dining and kitchen area filled with character features including exposed beams, wooden floors and stone walls. Patio doors open directly onto a terrace overlooking the lake, while a wood-burning stove provides both warmth and atmosphere. The rustic-style kitchen blends perfectly with the property’s countryside setting.

A smaller room to the rear of the living area works well as either a bedroom or office space.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom features exposed stonework and beams, while a second bedroom and family bathroom with shower, double basins and WC complete the accommodation.

The house benefits from central heating powered by a back boiler connected to the wood burner, combining efficiency with a cosy living environment. The property is connected to mains water while also benefiting from a private well, helping reduce running costs.

Outbuildings & Grounds

The estate includes a large attached barn, a separate garage with direct road access, and a substantial rear hangar suitable for vehicles, machinery or additional business storage.

Courtyards, terraces, pergolas and extensive lake views create a relaxed lifestyle atmosphere for both owners and guests, while the mature grounds enhance the peaceful and private setting.

The Fishing Business

The lake itself forms the centrepiece of the business and is stocked with carp to approximately 70lb, offering excellent sport for visiting anglers. The established operation already benefits from repeat clientele and forward bookings, making it genuinely ready to run from day one.

The current setup offers multiple income possibilities, including:

• Gîte rental with exclusive lake access
• Separate lake and accommodation bookings
• Additional holiday rental opportunities
• Expansion of the fishing business or guest facilities

With its valid pisciculture licence through to 2034, attractive accommodation and proven income stream, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational carp fishing business in one of France’s most beautiful rural regions.
