Jumilhac Le Grand / Dordogne. Historic C12th Knights Templar Commanderie

The phrase “rare and unique” has never
been more appropriately applied when trying to describe this fascinating
historical property. Built in the 12th Century, it is the only
remaining building of what was originally a Commanderie for the Knights
Templar, a large complex of fortified buildings.



Outside, the house is surrounded by
gardens which have been planted with a wide variety of specimen trees
and shrubs. The Upper Terrace provides shaded seating and spectacular
views, the Rose Garden contains some lovely old fashioned roses and the
Column Walk provides a vantage point to admire the features of the
house. At the bottom of the garden is the "Miraculous Spring", said to
cure children who suffer from nightmares!



There is also the former ‘Garconnière’, a small stone tower that would
have been home to the servant boys who looked after the Commander. This
has the potential to be restored to create a small guest cottage or a
studio.

Price 392,200 € (floor plans available).
