Description
Beautifully restored historic mill with pool, lake and barn.
In the heart of the Corrèze, this fully-restored moulin enjoys a wonderfully tranquil setting just a few minutes from the thriving village of Chamboulive. Situated in open countryside, the mill is surrounded by the beautiful and unspoiled Limousin. The immediate area is popular with visitors who come to enjoy the upper Vézère and in particular the activities on offer at lake Bournazel.
History: Le Moulin de Terrac can trace its origins back to the 14th century when the bishop of Toulouse acquired the property. At that time, the mill presided over a substantial pond which extended to over 14ha. From these early beginnings, the property has been in continuous use right up until the mass-industrialisation of flour production arrived in the late 1950s. After a period of decline, the mill was eventually acquired by the present owners in 1999. It is they, together with local craftsmen, who have embarked on a renovation project which has brought the property into the pristine condition that we see today.
The renovation: Having stripped the property back to its bare walls, three generations of owners have lovingly transformed the moulin into a luxurious modern family home. Meticulous attention to detail throughout, this high quality renovation still retains many original features including exposed stone walls and beamed ceilings.
The double aspect creates a real sense of volume and with three luxury en suite bedrooms on the first floor and two further en suites on the lower ground floor, the property offers year-round flexibility for up to ten adults in pure comfort. An upstairs landing with gallery opening to the floor below provides an excellent vantage point right in the heart of the property.
Property detail: A modern 40m² fitted kitchen with breakfast area and cathedral ceiling, separate dining room with solid walnut table and a stunning 70m² lounge are star features. There are two elegantly-crafted wooden staircases that lead seamlessly to five luxury bedrooms all with dedicated bathrooms. Solid oak flooring throughout adds to the sense of assured permanence.
On the lower-floor level there is also a games room, dedicated storage area, luxury shower with separate WC and a fully-equipped laundry facility.
A large raised terrace on the south facade looks out over the heated private 11m x 6m pool and provides an unrivaled spot for alfresco dining.
There's completely open frontage to the river and lovely lakeside walks immediately opposite the house. Today the lake occupies a more modest surface area of 0.5ha but continues to be fed by three streams and supports an impressive population of carp, as well as a few frogs,
Outbuildings include a characterful stone bread oven, a substantial metal frame barn (30m x 15m) and a modern garage block which also incorporates a workshop and the machinery room (housing the highly-efficient air-source heat-pump installations for both the house and pool).
Just a 5-minute drive to the pretty town of Chamboulive with all amenities and 1 hour to Limoges airport. Excellent condition throughout - viewings are highly recommended.
