About this place
This beautiful stone mansion, as featured on Channel 4’s 'A New Life in the Sun', presents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully renovated and furnished property in the heart of the French countryside. Located in the charming village of Bugeat, this home spans 220 m² and currently functions as a successful five-bedroom, five-bathroom bed and breakfast, making it a turnkey business with a proven track record.
The ground floor boasts an open-plan, well-equipped kitchen that leads into a cosy lounge with a log burner, creating a warm atmosphere. A separate formal sitting room also features its own log burner, ideal for chilly evenings. The first floor comprises four spacious bedrooms, each equipped with a private bathroom and dedicated workspace. The partly converted attic offers the potential for two additional large bedrooms, a bathroom, a laundry area, and storage for the B&B.
The versatile layout allows this mansion to serve as a large family residence, a guesthouse, or even up to four independent apartments. An option for an elevator installation enhances accessibility. Outside, a lovely terrace leads to a large garden with mature trees, while two generous cellars provide ample storage, one particularly suited for firewood. Connected to mains water and sewage, the property also benefits from high-speed fibre optic broadband to meet modern living standards.
Bugeat is known for its strong community spirit and vibrant amenities, with shops, medical services, and a train station offering direct links to Limoges, which is home to an international airport. Surrounded by stunning woodlands, the region is praised for its exhilarating outdoor activities, ranging from hiking and cycling to water sports, complemented by a lively cultural calendar throughout the summer months.

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.

Registration
Notaire registers the sale at the Service de la Publicité Foncière and sends the buyer a certified copy (attestation) within weeks; the full deed follows in 2–6 months.
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.
