CHARACTER WATER MILL IN LOT-ET-GARONNE - 18TH CENTURY, WATER, NATURE AND PERMACULTURE POTENTIAL A rare property for those dreaming of space, nature, abundant water resources and a lifestyle centred around permaculture, agroforestry and greater self-sufficiency. This character property has returned to the market for a reason entirely unrelated to its intrinsic qualities. A new opportunity to discover an authentic historic property offering particularly interesting potential for an ecological or agricultural project. Located in Dolmayrac, in the heart of the Lot-et-Garonne countryside, this former 18th-century stone water mill has its oldest sections dating back to 1782. The property offers more than 300 sqm of living space within a large, wooded and unspoilt estate. Here, the history of the building blends naturally with its surroundings, with one increasingly valuable asset: an exceptional presence of water. AN IDEAL ENVIRONMENT FOR PERMACULTURE AND AGROFORESTRY This is undoubtedly one of the property's major assets. The estate benefits from several water resources: a stream running alongside the property for almost 150 metres a fish-filled pond with water lilies and lotus a well supplied by an independent groundwater source three natural springs located on the estate. The land has never been chemically treated, providing an especially interesting setting for developing an environmentally responsible and sustainable project.

The combination of land, woodland, several water resources, a greenhouse and a chicken coop provides an excellent foundation for this type of project.
