Moulin de Boursac is a beautifully renovated historic olive mill dating from the eleventh and eighteenth centuries. Inside and out, this property has a rich old-world ambiance with stone structures from the original mill, landscaped Provencal gardens that include the millstream, and pool with pool house.
Antiques and authentic architectural accents throughout the villa add to its charm and character. The first floor features a large open living/dining room with several stone archways, a massive fireplace, and original exposed wood beam ceiling and stone floor. The comfortable furnishings include two L-shaped sofas on either side of the room with a large millstone in the center serving as an impressive coffee table. A long wooden dining table seats up to fourteen guests. A separate den functions as an office complete with DSL line.
The kitchen, large enough for several cooks and a table seating six, has a terracotta tile floor, wood beamed ceiling, tile counters, gas and electric cook tops, refrigerator/freezer, two ovens, and a dishwasher. The separate laundry room, just off the kitchen, has a large capacity washer and dryer. Powder room.
