Encircled by waterways and open countryside, Au Moulin is a masterful transformation of a former water mill into a beautiful retreat. From the moment you step inside, the sight of the mill’s original mechanism, preserved behind glass by the entrance hall, reminds you of the building’s heritage, even as it flows effortlessly into its new life as a stunning 5-bedroom escape.

Across three spacious floors, the interiors are rich with thoughtful design and historic character. The raised living level opens into an open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area, where contemporary finishes meet exposed stonework, historic charm and a view of the mill’s mechanism. Meanwhile, the five bedrooms are elegant and stylish, each featuring their own en suite facilities (some open-plan to the bedrooms – the baths in the bedrooms are especially striking).

Outside, two hectares of private grounds invite leisurely afternoons by the 12-metre swimming pool or moments of calm by the jacuzzi terrace. There is ample space to gather, play table tennis or simply sit back and listen to the rustle of leaves beside the gently flowing canal and river. A decked terrace invites al-fresco meals in glorious surroundings.

Just 7km away lies the medieval bastide town of Lauzerte, one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’, where café terraces spill onto cobbled squares and local produce fills the market stalls. Further afield, the riverside town of Moissac and the vibrant hub of Castelsarrasin offer all the essentials, while wine lovers will find much to explore in nearby Cahors and the Lot valley.

Whether gathering with loved ones for a summer holiday or seeking character and charm amid rolling countryside, Au Moulin offers a rare blend of authenticity, style and rural elegance.
