The Basics

Overview

Our Analysis

Priced at €1,458/m², this estate sits 26% below the Coursac average of €1,969/m², a discount likely reflecting the massive scale of the 540m² interior and the significant maintenance overhead inherent to 14th-century stonework. While the fiber connectivity is excellent for a rural property, the combination of high clay shrinkage risk and medieval foundations makes a structural survey non-negotiable. The property offers substantial volume for the price, but buyers must budget for specialized upkeep and heating costs common to uninsulated historical masonry.

Renovation Constraints
