Sale Villa Villefranche-du-Périgord - 4 bedrooms

The Dordogne's countless treasures include a number of windmills.

The one I'm talking about is located in the Périgord Noir region, 30 minutes from such must-see sites as Beynac, Castelnaud la Chapelle, Domme, La Roque Gageac, etc. You'll have to drive 150 km to get to Bordeaux or Toulouse, and 100 km to get to Brive. The history of this 250 m2 property dates back to the end of the 18th century. Three generations of mills followed one another until 1850. The first part, set against the rock, houses a workshop, cellar, boiler room, storage space, etc. The second part, comprising a large bedroom, study and utilities, adjoining the dwelling but independent, could be used for rental purposes. Finally, the 3-storey dwelling with a living room of more than 90 m2 and the size of a château. Mezzanine, study, 2 bedrooms, vast attic space that could be converted. Period fireplaces and a stone sink complete the elegant, meticulous renovation. The property spans approx. 8 ha (29.4 acres) in one piece and comprises an equal proportion of grasslands and woods. There is a pond, 2 springs, several dry stone shelters and a wooden barn. Of note is a remarkable millstream in good condition with multiple entrances opposite 2 streams.

Our opinion: Once again, Périgord keeps its promises… Water, but not too much, the charm of a building that has seen the revolution, the magic of unspoilt nature!
