Just minutes from the enchanting hilltop village of Lauzerte – proudly listed among Les Plus Beaux Villages de France – lies a timeless estate where nature, history, and tranquillity come together in perfect harmony.

This former watermill, dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, sits at the heart of over 6 hectares of rolling meadows, shaded woodland, and peaceful riverbanks. A gentle stream runs alongside the stone-built home, infusing the entire setting with a calming, storybook charm.

The main residence, with its square towers and pale limestone façade, is both noble and welcoming. Arched openings, solid wooden doors, and a covered rear gallery invite you to slow down and soak in the beauty of the landscape in every season. Beneath its terracotta-tiled roofs lies a warm and elegant interior.

The property offers 11 bedrooms – including 6 high-end en-suite rooms – and five light-filled reception rooms perfect for family life or refined entertaining. A separate wellness pavilion houses an indoor pool, spa, and serene spaces for relaxation. Several stone cellars hint at endless possibilities: wine storage, creative workshops, or simply more space to make your own. A detached annexe is ready to be transformed into guest accommodation, a gîte, or a home office.

Whether you dream of a graceful countryside home, a holiday retreat with character, or a high-end hospitality project, this estate invites you to embrace a slower, richer way of life – where every day feels like a retreat, and every detail tells a story.
