About this property

A charming old Water Mill in Perigord, surrounded by nature

Le Moulin de Connezac is nestled in the Nizonne valley in north Dordogne, close to Mareuil en Perigord.
A historic, unique and charming holiday home in the Perigord Limousin National Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty.
The River Nizonne flows underneath Le Moulin de Connezac, also around the garden.
It is a place where you come to rest and unwind, then be restored by nature. We are adjacent to water meadows, there are walks direct from the Mill into the woods and up the hill, discover the lovely mosses, mistletoe and fungi, take your favourite tipple and sip on the hill overlooking the valley as the sun sets. It is tranquil and a haven for local birdlife. We have deer and boar, if you are lucky to spot.
We have bikes to cycle the pretty country lanes in search of chateaux. Summer brings the sunflower fields. There is a kayak if the water level is good.
The fire pit on the terrace is fabulous for late night sing-alongs, watching the stars and having good chats.
We have boules, badminton and croquet and some fishing rods.

A perfect destination for a family and friends to get together, recharge, focus and take the energy of nature.
The forest and river are in a natural eco system, preserving the beauty. We encourage the birds, dragon flies and wildlife to feel safe here.
Ground Floor:
The old water mill flows under the house, through the kitchen. There is a formal dining room / hobbies room, a casual dining area adjacent to the kitchen (open plan), the snug room with log fire and a garden room, a toilet room, and the cave for the washing - drying machines, bikes etc.

Upper floor:
3 spacious bedrooms with old stone fire places in each room. Sleeps up to 9 people. The master bedroom is large, with a 4 poster bed and additional single bed, and sofa along with an ensuite bathroom. The views cover the garden and streams of the front and back of the house, the 2nd bedroom has a 4 poster bed, the spacious 3rd bedroom has 4 single beds. Plus there is a separate bathroom with shower.

Outside there is a terrace, fire pit, BBQ, extensive garden and natural wild pool. You can play badminton, boules, croquet, go fishing or take a dip in the natural pool and take the kayak into the water. There are hikes into the woods from the house.
Watch the sunset from the terrace, enjoy alfresco living, or take a bottle of your favourite tipple up the hill and watch the sun set!

The nearby towns all host morning markets. Mareuil has lots of local produce, the market is Tuesday morning. Brantome market is on Friday, selling many products. The river Dronne is great for canoeing, take picnic. Villebois has the medival market in the square, stunning. Aubeterre has the delightful Roman church and houses built on stilts up the hillside, take lunch in the Square. Look out for Brocante's and weekend Vide Greniers.
In Mareuil visit Le Cave, with an excellent choice of wines. Grab an expresso at Chez Mia, while picking up your croissants from the Boulangerie in Mareuil. It has a certain pace of life, take the pleasures of the good food, wines and beautiful countryside. Happy Holidays!!!

About the host

Hosted by Jacqueline Gray

Host profile image
I have a passion for the naturalness of Le Moulin, I love seeing nature having such a big personality and evolving throughout the year. Le Moulin is special in all seasons. I have spent many years working in Asia and been inspired by other cultures, fabrics, different tastes, which over time find their way into Le Moulin.

Why they chose this property

It is simply charming, the water grounds you, helps you relax. The sun sets as you sip your evening drink over the back garden. There is a BBQ and a fire pit. Eating alfresco is splendid.
For children the woods offer lots to explore and play in nature. If you enjoy foraging, the woods even have truffles! Enter the natural pool on a hot day! You can take the kayak down the stream or try fishing. It is a place to enjoy friends and family and unwind and relax together. Local lanes are beautiful to cycle in summer months amongst the sunflowers.

What makes this property unique

A Moulin comes with a lot of history, in our case since 1429. The house has been nicely developed to create an engaging living space. Waking up in the morning and looking out over the valley is a wonderful feeling. Listening to the distant sound of water and the birds is charming. The natural pool is set behind Le Petite Moulin, perfect for a dip on a hot summers day. The old Mill stones are in the garden. The Mill would have ground walnuts to make nut oil and probably flour.
The wildlife, be it the insects, flowers or birds, we want to feel this is a special habitat for them.
One day I've love to re instate some form of hydro power and become green and self sufficient. There are a number of Chateaux in the area, it is fun to bike to them and take a picnic. If you like to draw or paint I'm sure you will be inspired!
