Fully Renovated Historic Mill ? a Rare Property in the Heart of the Lot

Property Description

Manon Chaubet and Véronique Bessières, for Hamilton Agency | Castles & Fine Homes, are delighted to present this exceptional new property:

In the Heart of the Lot Valley

Just a few minutes from Cahors, in an unspoilt setting, lies this truly unique property: a 19th-century former mill, fully renovated between 2020 and 2022, set within more than 1.6 hectares of grounds.

Full of character, this exceptional home offers a particularly successful combination of historic charm, generous proportions and contemporary comfort.

From the moment you enter, the property impresses with its elegant proportions and the quality of its renovation. The main living level features a beautiful entrance hall, a bright and spacious living area including a large double sitting room, extended by a generous approximately 30 sq m fitted and fully equipped kitchen, as well as an elegant library sitting room.

Upstairs, the house offers five large bedrooms, together with several shower rooms and a bathroom. A spacious attic completes this level and provides further potential for conversion.

On the lower levels, several additional spaces include a renovated former millstone room, featuring travertine flooring, a games room, the boiler room and a beautiful room ready to be converted, notably benefiting from a fireplace and a separate WC area.

The renovation, carried out using high-quality materials, has thoroughly transformed the property while preserving a number of features that bear witness to its history. Travertine, lime-rendered walls, underfloor heating supplied by a pellet boiler, as well as completely renewed windows, joinery and technical installations all contribute to the comfort of this exceptional home today.

A Property Shaped by Water

One of the property's most distinctive features is its hydraulic heritage.

A mill leat runs through the grounds and passes beneath the main building, recalling the original purpose of this former mill. This remarkable feature gives the property a truly unique atmosphere and still offers a range of creative possibilities today, particularly through the enhancement and landscaping of the canal.

Outside, the approximately 16,362 sq m of land provide an unspoilt natural setting, featuring an orchard, bridges and beautiful mature wooded areas.

An approximately 50 sq m outbuilding, currently retaining its original condition with an earth floor, further enhances the property. With a ceiling height of approximately 4.70 meters at the ridge and generous volumes, it offers the potential for a variety of projects, including the creation of a gîte, guest house, workshop or independent living space, subject to the necessary planning permissions and authorizations.

A pigeon house and a wood shelter also complete the property.

A Property for Lovers of Unique Places

This home is intended for those seeking more than simply a house: a place steeped in history, distinctive architecture, generous spaces, a privileged natural environment and the comfort of a recent, high-quality renovation.

Whether as a primary or secondary residence, a family home or a hospitality project, this former mill offers numerous possibilities.

A rare property in the Lot Valley, where the charm of the past meets a contemporary renovation of exceptional quality.
