Luxurious living and a heated salt water swimming pool were hardly included in the 17th Century plans to build a mill here; but they?re part of the Five Star blissful experience of guests in its rebirth as a country retreat from the daily grind.

The original wooden beams and mellow sandstone interiors are now features of a unique marriage of the historic and cutting edge ? the vision of our 2016 design and build team who conjured up from a shell the breath-taking "Le Vieux Moulin", our stone-built luxury gite now for sale in the Dordogne.

An exceptional, fully renovated 8 ensuite bedroom, stone-built property with profitable income and potential for more. This beautifully restored home has a 6m x 12m heated, salt-water swimming pool (filled with water from the spring) and extensive gardens and woodland surrounding the property.

Today, guests can stroll with a fragrant dish from the super smart kitchen along polished floors flowing through to the immensely welcoming dining space and salon. Or yawn their way to six soothing ensuite bedrooms. Plus there?s a small apartment. And, yes, a large yoga studio. Need we say more? Absolument!

The clever bit

Look at the aerial view or floor plan. Le Vieux Moulin is ?L? shaped. One leg is the house/gite. The other is a self-contained wing where you, as owners, can enjoy a lifestyle of rare quality financed by the gite?s established success.

With huge living kitchen, utility room, snug with log-burner, lavish lounge, mezzanine level study, en-suite bedroom, master bedroom with dressing room? your new home is lavishly liveable. As you?ll realise as you loll in the stand-alone bath contemplating your orchard of apple, pear, plumb and fig trees.

The dream location

Your secluded domain of 7.2 hectare of grounds in a wooded fold of the Couze valley is at the heart of all that symbolises the popular dream of rural France ? lush rolling countryside, wildlife-rich forests, legendary vineyards, wide fast-flowing rivers overlooked by chateaux, sunlit medieval villages whose bistros serve mouth-watering menus based on local produce. In short, the Dordogne.

We are just five minutes away from a charming Bastide Village with the best little restaurant for 50km around, and just 35 minutes from Bergerac Airport.

The property is well insulated and double glazed and supplied with mains water and electricity although the majority of our water comes from the natural springs on the property.

There is plenty of land that can be developed and the soil is excellent - perfect for anyone interested in permaculture. The springs supply water and the generous forest gives us our wood to supplement the winter heating.
