The front garden is large and long with laid lawn. There is an 80ft. Douglas Pine to the right hand side which is very impressive and old! The natural spring with its own wash stone tub is still working and flows down to the river. The rear garden is wilder with cherry and apple trees. There is also a hazelnut tree on the left as you drive in, plus 10 acres of private woodland via a small path from the garden.

Local lakes nearby that have canoeing fishing swimming hiking horse riding etc.
9 hole golf course in Bourganeuf around 15 euros.

Saint Martin Ste. Catherine is close to Bourganeuf - the first town in Europe to get electricity (photo below right). Aubusson is about a 30 min drive and famous for its tapestries. Gueret is also around a 30 min drive and is excellent for shopping. A beach lake is close by with the usual summer activities.

The Wolf pack enclosure is very good - so I have been told. Watching wild wolves in action must be worth a visit. There is also a Buffalo Farm and a flying school a little further out.
