The house
Moulin du Repaire is first described in an act of 12-8-1563, almost 500 years old. It was part of the "chateau" further up the hill. The water mill, the miller's house (now the big house) and the bakery (now the gîte) served to provide the owners and the (then very many) "staff" with their daily bread.
For the benefit of the mill, a dam was also built in the valley, creating a reservoir (2 ha). Here you can fish for carp and pike, among other things.
The estate totals 14 hectares and is located 4 km from the picturesque town of Saint Leonard de Noblat.
The property is very quiet, but not really remote. A single house can be seen from a distance. The 300-metre access road is already on private property.
Besides the gîte, it is also possible to rent the big house or even both houses at the same time,
For example, we ourselves hold a family reunion at "Moulin du Repaire" every three years. Because of the many possibilities on the site and the tranquillity we have a perfect week every time.
But .... for your peace and quiet, there is always only one tenant, unless you also rent the other house, the other house remains empty or is used by us and / or our friends where your privacy is respected!
Furnishings:
The spacious gîte has a living room with a beautiful old bread oven, and a wood-burning stove that heats the entire ground floor if necessary.
The living room adjoins the dining area with French doors giving access to the terrace.
The kitchen is equipped with 4 burner gas hob/oven, combi oven/microwave, dishwasher, fridge, coffee machine, etc.
Scullery with toilet.
First floor with loft, two bedrooms and walk-through bedroom, bathroom with shower, washbasin and 2nd toilet. The gite is suitable for a maximum of 4 adults and 2 children.
Equipped with:
- TV with a.o. Dutch channels.
- DVD player (with many DVDs).
- Radio with CD player.
- Spacious terrace of 40 m2, equipped with garden furniture.
- Washing machine and dryer, ironing facilities, hair dryer, etc.

The colourful Limousin.
In the green heart of France (approx. 850 km from Utrecht), you will find the Limousin. The region has many lakes and rivers. Hills up to 800 metres with many beautiful forests invite you for beautiful cycling or hiking tours.
Mass tourism has not yet penetrated here and that makes everything even more beautiful than it already is.
Limoges, at 18 km, is a university city known for its porcelain and enamel, every second Sunday of the month (not in August) there is a large flea market around the cathedral.
But also in many villages and towns in the area are many attractions, activities and (antique and flea) markets.
Lac de Vassiviere is at about half an hour distance and has a museum on it, designed by architect Rossi.
In the vicinity are several golf courses.
We have a lot of documentation about the area.
- Rural
- Hilly
- Meadows and woodland
Reviews
Willem Boerman from Zwolle,
De gegeven recensies zijn passend. Een heel mooie locatie met rust, idillysch meer, beek, bos, zwembad en authentieke huisvesting. En goede gastgevers. Wat zou je je nog meer wensen? En die ene gevangen lummel van een karper, hebben we direct weer in het meer teruggezet.
Willy en Fer from Nieuwegein,
Wat hebben we weer genoten van ons verblijf op jullie domein. Een heerlijk huis op een groot terrein met zelfs een bos en ook een fijn verwarmd zwembad. En Derk en Ineke: jullie zijn een geweldige gastheer en gastvrouw.
Ineke en Paul from Leiden,
Ons verblijf in het grote huis is heel goed bevallen.
We voelden ons meteen thuis, dankzij de comfortabele inrichting en uitrusting van het huis, de rust en de prachtige ligging in het groen.
Hebben ook zeer genoten van de verkenning van het terrein (meer en bos). Wat een prachtig oord!
Gastheer Derk stilde onze nieuwsgierigheid naar de historie van de Moulin heel elegant.
Voor ons draagt zulke kennis absoluut bij aan hoe je kunt genieten van je omgeving.
Maar ook het zwembad met een watertemperatuur van 26 graden Celsius (eind september!) hielp daarbij.
En Derk, dank voor de tip om naar de zondagmorgenmarkt in Panazol te gaan. We kwamen terecht in een echt Franse markt, met aardige mensen en prachtige producten. Heerlijk!
Restaurants, food & wine
Besides 3 good restaurants in the town, including one with a star allure, which in culinary terms have much to offer, each village in this region, however small, has a restaurant where a menu for about 12 euros can be chosen. Such a menu consists of a starter, main course, cheese, dessert and coffee (wine included). We, Dutchmen, are not used to eat at midi - from 12 o'clock in the afternoon. But there is no Frenchman in the countryside who skips his hot midday meal. Therefore, it is definitely worth trying. Let yourself be surprised and go at one o'clock into a small restaurant and order such a menu. You will be amazed at what you will be served and how cosy it is!
In Saint Léonard there is also a pizzeria and a "kebab", the latter is not recommended.
