18TH-CENTURY WATER MILL IN SOUTH-WEST FRANCE – 1.45 HECTARES, NATURAL SPRINGS, WOODLAND AND EXCEPTIONAL PERMACULTURE POTENTIAL A rare opportunity for those dreaming of space, nature, abundant water resources and a lifestyle centred around permaculture, agroforestry and greater self-sufficiency. A SECOND CHANCE TO DISCOVER SOMETHING SPECIAL This remarkable property has returned to the market for reasons entirely unrelated to its qualities. A new opportunity to discover an authentic historic water mill with outstanding potential for a sustainable lifestyle or an ecological project.

Located in Dolmayrac, in the beautiful Lot-et-Garonne countryside of South-West France, this former stone water mill dates partly from 1782. Offering over 300 sqm of living space within approximately 1.45 hectares (14,465 sqm) of landscaped and wooded grounds, the property combines historic charm, natural beauty and exceptional possibilities for the future. WATER, LAND AND NATURE – THE PROPERTY'S GREATEST ASSETS In a world where natural resources are becoming increasingly valuable, this estate offers particularly attractive features: A stream running alongside the property for approximately 150 metres.

A fish-filled pond with water lilies and lotus. A well supplied by an independent groundwater source. Three natural springs located on the estate. Land that, according to the owners, has never been chemically treated. Wooded areas and open land offering numerous possibilities. These features provide an excellent starting point for permaculture, agroforestry, ecological market gardening, orchards, food forests or projects aimed at greater food self-sufficiency. Imagine growing your own vegetables, establishing an orchard, developing mixed crops or creating a peaceful, sustainable lifestyle surrounded by nature.

The existing greenhouse, chicken coop, woodland and multiple water resources add to the property's appeal for anyone seeking a closer connection to the land. OVER 300 SQM OF AUTHENTIC LIVING SPACE With its stone walls, traditional fireplaces and generous rooms, the mill retains the atmosphere and charm of a historic country residence. The ground floor includes: A welcoming entrance hall. An impressive 75 sqm living room with a large original fireplace. A spacious family kitchen with a second fireplace.

A shower room. A covered adjoining area providing access to the laundry and boiler rooms. Upstairs: Five bedrooms. A dressing room. A second shower room. A beautiful 40 sqm winter lounge, providing a warm and peaceful retreat during the cooler months. The generous interior spaces offer flexibility for family living or a future hospitality project. OUTDOOR LIVING AND ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS The property also benefits from: A large covered outdoor area overlooking the surrounding countryside. A 6 x 12 metre swimming pool requiring a replacement liner.

Several small outbuildings. A garden shed. A small greenhouse. A chicken coop. These facilities provide further possibilities for gardening, outdoor activities and sustainable living.

A PROPERTY WITH ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES More than simply a country house, this former mill offers the opportunity to create a unique lifestyle project. Possible uses include: A spacious family home. A charming second residence. Permaculture and agroforestry projects. Ecological market gardening and diversified crops. Greater food self-sufficiency. Holiday cottages or guest accommodation. Ecotourism and nature-based holidays.

Wellness retreats, workshops or nature courses. Any commercial or agricultural use would be subject to the relevant planning permissions and regulations. RENOVATION REQUIRED – AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE SOMETHING TRULY YOUR OWN The property requires renovation and modernisation to realise its full potential. Although habitable, the house has only been occupied occasionally in recent years. The existing radiators and heating pipework remain in place, but the former gas boiler and gas tank have been removed.

A new heating system will therefore need to be installed. Further improvements should be considered, including ground-floor windows, electrical installations, wastewater treatment and replacement of the swimming pool liner. These works have been taken into account in the asking price, allowing future owners to renovate and personalise the property according to their needs and budget. An energy audit was carried out in September 2023. Renovation quotations are available upon request. COULD THIS BE YOUR NEXT CHAPTER?
