Anglo French Properties has a carefully curated portfolio of villas, country Houses, châteaux, and an exceptional selection of beautifully restored farmhouses and historic mills. All are located in the South West of France, from the Dordogne to the Pyrénées, and across Provence and the Côte d’Azur. We also offer a growing portfolio in Italy, primarily in Tuscany and Umbria. Each property is chosen for its immense charm and character, whether an elegant château, a contemporary villa, or a centuries-old farmhouse steeped in history.
All our luxury properties sleep a minimum of six guests in great comfort, with many accommodating ten or more. The largest sleep up to 24. Every farmhouse or converted mill has been hand-picked and personally inspected to ensure it meets the highest standards, offering modern kitchens, en-suite bathrooms, private swimming pools, expansive gardens, and breathtaking views. Many properties also feature tennis courts, table tennis, or boules courts for private use.
Historic Mills – A Unique Slice of Rural France
For centuries, mills were essential to rural life in France—grinding grain, pressing olives, or harnessing the power of rivers. Today, these beautifully restored water mills, windmills, and olive mills have been transformed into some of the most charming and idyllic properties in our collection, offering a true escape into “La France Profonde.”
Properties such as Le Moulin de la Crouzille, nestled within 12 acres of gardens beside the small River Auvezere, perfectly capture the romance of a historic mill setting. Meanwhile, Le Moulin sur Célé, in the heart of the stunning Lot region, offers not only a swimming pool and tennis court but also direct access to the river for canoeing, fishing, and wild swimming. Le Moulin de Thimonier, located near the renowned vineyards of Saint-Émilion, is a former miller’s house and windmill offering spectacular valley views, a perfect blend of rustic charm and understated luxury. For a quintessential Provençal experience, Moulin de La Tour, a former olive mill, is set amidst lavender fields and olive groves, with easy access to the charming village of Fontvieille.
Traditional Farmhouses – Timeless French Charm
Our collection of farmhouses offers the perfect blend of traditional character and modern comfort. These spacious homes, with their thick stone walls, exposed beams, and sun-drenched terraces, provide an authentic taste of French country living. Many, like Le Mas Saint Paul, are set within rolling countryside, offering panoramic views, beautifully landscaped gardens, and large pools ideal for long, lazy summer days. Others, like Domaine de Montahut, are vast private estates, perfect for groups looking for complete seclusion and a connection to nature.
Ideal for families, groups of friends, or multi-generational gatherings, our farmhouses and mills provide not only space and privacy but also a deep sense of history and place. Each has been thoughtfully restored to retain its original charm while incorporating the comforts of modern living. Many of our properties also offer in-house chefs or local cooks who can prepare exquisite meals using fresh regional ingredients, so everyone can truly relax and enjoy their stay.
Whether you are drawn to the rustic elegance of a Provençal olive mill, the romance of a riverside water mill, or the grandeur of a restored farmhouse, our carefully chosen collection promises an unforgettable holiday. Get in touch today to find the perfect property at the heart of the French countryside.
