Just outside the charming village of Excideuil, on the picturesque Loue River, lies this characterful former watermill. In use until 1960 for the production of paper, steel, and flour, this unique property has been completely renovated with great care and respect for its authentic features, transforming it into a spacious and comfortable home with guest accommodations.

On an island
Located on its own island, surrounded by the river and a historic tributary, the property is accessed via a charming bridge. Here you can enjoy peace, privacy, and nature, while amenities and the village are just a short distance away.

The property consists of a spacious main residence (approx. 2.100 ft²) and a fully-fledged, independent guesthouse (approx. 1.700 ft²). Thanks to the large volumes, high ceilings, and big windows, you’ll enjoy light and space, with a direct connection to the surrounding nature.

The main residence – character and comfort
The home combines authentic charm with modern living comfort and features, on the ground floor, a spacious and stylish kitchen-diner with a pantry, a cozy living room with underfloor heating, a dining room, a bright workspace with direct access to the garden and terrace, a laundry room, and a bathroom with a bathtub, separate shower, and toilet. Outside, you’ll find a recently built, fully equipped outdoor kitchen—ideal for long summer evenings and entertaining guests. On the first floor are four spacious double bedrooms, one of which features a French balcony, and a second, spacious family bathroom.

The home features gas central heating, multiple fireplaces, a wood-burning stove, and partial underfloor heating. All window frames have been replaced and are double-glazed.

The guesthouse – versatile and comfortable
The self-contained apartment, accessible via a private entrance (and internally connected if desired), offers numerous possibilities such as a guesthouse, family home, or for rental. It consists of a large open living area with a kitchen, dining, and sitting areas, three bedrooms, and a spacious family room, a bathroom, and a separate toilet. The apartment is cooled and heated by an air conditioning system using a heat pump. It also features a spacious attic with potential for expansion or storage.

Outbuildings and Additional Spaces
The former mill has been converted into a spacious workshop/studio, where authentic mill elements are still visible. You will also find a covered terrace that serves as an orangery in winter, the technical room for the pool with a toilet, and an impressive attic spanning the entire length of the building.

Outdoor Living and Grounds
The nearly 2,4 acres lot consists of a park-like garden with lawns, fruit trees, a vegetable garden, and flower borders. Ample parking is available in front of the house. Behind the house lies a beautifully landscaped 13 x 26-feet swimming pool, perfectly integrated into the natural surroundings—a delightful spot to enjoy sunny days in peace and quiet.
