Additional Information
The Mill with its 400 metres of river frontage is one of 16 watermills on the Combade, a top category trout river, situated just above its confluence with the River Vienne. It is accessed by a driveway lined with acacia, lime and cherry trees and offers ample parking.
It enjoys a secluded location surrounded by its private orchard, woodland and meadows, usually home to 3 rare breed donkeys in summer.
There are terraces facing south,east and west offering sun or shade at all times of day.
Without leaving your holiday home, you can explore the surrounding 3 hectares, cool down in the river, commune with the donkeys, observe the buzzards, nuthatches and woodpeckers, or simply relax and listen to the gurgling of the millstream.
You can fish for trout using lure, bait or fly from our river banks or roam further afield up and downstream. A temporary fishing licence is required to fish in the River Combade and most other lakes and rivers in Limousin; this can be purchased from our village shop in Masleon (3 km).
Please be aware that there is no fenced in garden area, so the proximity of the river and millstream may present a danger for children and animals.
