Property details

At the end of a private drive, hidden within almost 7 acres of lush, unspoilt grounds, this enchanting former watermill offers a rare sense of peace, seclusion and timeless charm, just minutes from the elegant cosmopolitan town of Cognac.

Steeped in history and atmosphere, the property unfolds across a series of beautifully proportioned rooms, where natural light pours in and every window frames a view of the gently flowing water or the fabulous natural pool. At its heart, a spectacular 65 m² living or events space, with windows on three sides, captures the changing light throughout the day and opens onto idyllic views of the river and gardens. This magnificent space would be ideal for hosting yoga retreats or other events, subject to the usual permissions. A second, more intimate sitting room, centred around a traditional stone fireplace, and with a picture window, provides a warm and inviting retreat.

This beautiful home offers seven bedrooms, including a sumptuous 60 m² principal suite with its own bathroom, as well as a second elegant suite with en-suite facilities. Five additional bedrooms and further bathrooms ensure ample space for family and guests, all wrapped in an atmosphere of peace and birdsong

The original mill rooms, where the wheel and millstone remain, add a captivating sense of heritage and offer endless possibilities—whether as a private gym or a creative space....or just to store your boat for messing about on the river!

Outside, the setting is nothing short of magical. Mature trees, open lawns and a gently meandering stream create a peaceful sanctuary, while the natural swimming pool blends seamlessly into its surroundings. There is an established orchard, and additional outbuildings, including a generous barn, currently used as a garage, and small stone stores — offer further potential.

A private paradise, the property remains close to everyday amenities, with the Atlantic coast and the cultural richness of Bordeaux within easy reach.

A truly special home, where history, nature and tranquillity come together — offering an exceptional lifestyle in an unforgettable setting.
