Set in its own beautiful secluded grounds, this stunning riverside 10 bedroom/10 bathroom watermill with heated salt water swimming pool, provides exceptional accommodation for up to 20 people in the heart of the beautiful French countryside, yet is within easy reach of the motorways and airports. Originally built in the early 1800s as a working flour mill, it has been perfectly restored and decorated with great taste by its current owners to an extremely high standard.
  • INTRODUCTION / INTRODUCTIONRetaining a wealth of period features including honey coloured exposed stone walls, oak beams and stone fireplaces, this very special house also provides all the modern necessities for a comfortable family home, including not one but two fully fitted kitchens, 10 luxury bathrooms , and a truly fabulous pool area with a heated 12m x 6m salt water swimming pool, Cabana, eight person Jacuzzi, stone BBQ plus an ancient working bread oven (great for pizzas). The gardens and house are floodlit with hidden uplighters built into the ground. There is a stream, a river and an orchard as well as the more formal gardens, one with an illuminated fountain. The beautiful interiors, elegant yet comfortable garden, and luxurious heated pool combined with the charm of this historic Mill have made it one of the best 25 villas in Europe – as voted by Condé Nast Traveller magazine.
  • The Mill would be a perfect business opportunity and could return a healthy income should any purchaser wish to continue with letting the main house, and there is a cosy owner’s accommodation to one side of the main house. To the other side of the property is another smaller house which has been part renovated already and is just waiting to be converted into further accommodation, with a wealth of beautiful beams and a stone fireplace. This property is perfectly presented and ready to move into, either to run as a successful prestige holiday-wedding business or as a superbly comfortable luxurious dream country home.
