The nearby medieval town, with its UNESCO-listed collegiate church, offers shops, culture, and a lively community. Surrounded by the Millevaches Regional Natural Park, the setting blends heritage, nature, and accessibility. Limoges airport is only 35 minutes away.
Key Features:
- Five mills on a private island

Beyond the history, the property offers an enchanting lifestyle. Gardens fringe the river’s edge, while rocky outcrops and rushing water create a natural soundtrack. With its blend of raw potential and timeless beauty, it is ideal for a visionary project that honours the past while shaping the future.
The main mill retains its paddle wheels, gears, and oak-floored reception rooms. The four smaller mills, each with unique character, await restoration. Gardens, rocks, and flowing water complete this evocative riverside scene.
