iad France - Rémi CRÉTIN presents: La Borderie — A story to continue, at the gates of Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat

Some houses still carry, within their walls, the care of those who loved them. At La Borderie, this presence is seen in the careful restoration, in a generously stocked library, and in the thoughtfully designed park.

Built in the 16th or early 17th century, this home has undergone over forty years of attentive restoration. Its owners pursued a demanding goal: to preserve its soul, respect its history, and provide the comfort needed for a fully lived-in house. The choice of materials, respect for original elements, and discreet installations (no visible electrical wires or fiber optics, inside or out) reflect this approach, down to the smallest details.

Over the years, a true art of living has been created at La Borderie: the pleasure of hosting, living surrounded by books, gathering by the fire, and watching nature change with the seasons. The owners now wish to pass on this spirit so it can endure and be enriched by a new presence.

Today, La Borderie awaits those who wish to continue its story.

In the main house, the ”Château,” approximately 380 m², the rooms invite both entertaining and quiet retreat. The living room features an original French-style ceiling, five fully functional fireplaces, and stone elements that add depth to the space. The largest room is the library, with solid wood furniture, most custom-made. A metal staircase leads to a second library, where shelves hold paperbacks and detective novels.

The kitchen and large dining room offer another way to share the home: long meals and the joy of gathering. A pantry and laundry room discreetly support daily life. Upstairs, five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a shower room accommodate family and friends. The top floor has a large attic to be finished, while the vaulted cellar preserves the home’s origins.

If desired, the transfer can include some furniture and certain books from the library, under terms to be agreed with the owners. This unique option is for those who appreciate the spirit of the place and wish to keep some familiar elements.

Opposite the main house is another building longer than the ”Château.” It includes outbuildings: boiler room, former horse stalls, attic, shed, paved garage, and workshop. There is also a fully independent apartment, currently being renovated, with a living room, two bedrooms, kitchen, shower room, and garage opening onto the communal road of La Borderie. Renovation work remains to be completed: painting, some floor coverings, kitchen installation, and possibly connection to central heating. This space can welcome loved ones or eventually allow more independent living just steps from the main house.

Outside, the nearly two-hectare landscaped park continues the care given to the site. Ginkgo biloba, magnolias, maples, hydrangeas, and large trees stand alongside the orchard, lawns, and wooded areas. A garden, fully enclosed by stone walls, is fed by an inexhaustible spring that supplies an old fish pond.

To the south, the courtyard invites outdoor dining in fine weather, while to the north, the view reaches the bell tower of the Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat collegiate church.

Modern comfort is discreetly integrated into this historic setting: pellet central heating (Hargassner boiler) for the main house and possibly the opposite apartment, whose heating can also be completely independent; aluminum double or triple-glazed windows; and compliant individual sewage treatment. The roofs of the outbuildings and two wings have been completely redone, and the central section’s roof has been regularly maintained.

About fifteen kilometers from Limoges, roughly forty minutes from its airport, and 2.5 kilometers from Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat train station, La Borderie offers a setting where heritage, nature, and daily life come together.
