Beautifully restored 14th century water mill with 2 gites and charming Pigeonnier, surrounded by over 2 acres of glorious land with gardens, pond and pool, located in a secluded area near all amenities in Nonards, Correze.

Enjoying frontage to the River Menoire, this stunning property was originally a walnut and cornmill and has been maintained to a very high standard by the present owner.

It could be operated as a business but equally provides a superb and unique family home.

The grounds are extensive, the mill pond is well stocked with fish and there are fishing rights on the River Menoire, with its small waterfalls, which attracts a variety of wildlife. An additional benefit is the 6 metre above ground swimming pool.

In all, a beautiful, flexible property, in a secluded paradise but within easy reach of local amenities and attractions in the Dordogne Valley, a few minutes away from Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne and the borders of the Lot, Correze and Dordogne, considered 3 of the most beautiful departments in France.

The airport at Brive is only 45 minutes away and other local airports are Limoges and Bergerac. There are two golf courses in the area also.

Approaching the property through private gates and crossing the small river over a pretty bridge, it is approached by a gravel drive with an open car port next to the garage/utility room both attached to the main house.

Entering the ground floor of the house double glazed doors lead into a well designed kitchen. With its breakfast bar, full range of fitted units, and quality appliances this is a very tasteful and functional kitchen. It benefits from a large walk-in pantry with space for an upright fridge freezer, a real bonus to the kitchen. There is also a very useful downstairs shower room with WC.

Leading from the kitchen is a beautiful dining room full of character with a reinforced glass floor panel which offers a view of the mill race with its underground stonework. The view from this room looks over the gardens and very stunning Pigeonnier.

A generously proportioned hall is the main entrance to the property. There are exposed beams and stonework with a large range of fitted cupboards including a hidden office area. Double glazed doors lead out onto a covered terrace with fenced and gated steps down to the mill.

Leading from the hallway is a very beautiful large living room which was originally part of the working mill floor. Maintaining some of the original mill ironwork this room oozes natural character again with exposed beams and stonework. There is a large stone fireplace with woodburning stove, double glazed doors to the garden and behind the fireplace is a bread oven which could be opened up from the outside to provide a pizza oven or barbecue.

Leading to the first floor via beautiful wooden staircase in the sitting room, is a spacious landing leading to a bathroom and separate wc and a character double bedroom with original wood floor, high ceiling, exposed roof timbers and double aspect dormer windows.

There is a 3 bedroom gite/apartment with living area and shower room with WC. Access to this gite is behind the property via a beautiful covered and gated terrace suspended over the stunning mill pond.

Another 2 bedroom gite, again accessed from the rear of the property, with its own private terrace is to the left of the property. These gites have been designed to enable the rooms to be easily converted back into main living space if the new owners desired.

Opposite the main house is a stunning Pigeonnier, which is currently used as a1 bedroom luxury gite/apartment. The ground floor comprises a kitchen and shower room with WC. The staircase leads to a luxurious double bedroom with the most amazing timbered roof. A truly stunning pigeonnier with an outside covered terrace overlooking the mill race and gardens with its array of established fruit trees of many varieties.

The overall habitable area of the main house is approximately 260m2 and is fully double glazed and well insulated. The drainage is connected to a septic tank and the whole property and gardens are constantly and well maintained.

A truly stunning and unique residence in the most wonderful location, which needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.
