The property

EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES! Steeped in history, beautifully restored and surrounded by nature, this exceptional 300-year-old water mill offers a truly unique opportunity to acquire a prestigious French property.

Combining original character with a high standard of modern restoration, the property provides an enviable lifestyle in a wonderfully private riverside setting, while offering excellent potential for income generation. Currently run as a gite (a future owner would need to obtain necessary permission and appropriate business registration).

At the heart of the property is the magnificent main mill, offering six bedrooms and generous, beautifully presented living accommodation. Original architectural features blend seamlessly with the quality restoration, creating a home that retains the soul and character of its 300-year history while providing the comfort expected of a luxury residence.

Attached to the main house is a superb single-level three-bedroom gîte, accessed independently and designed to provide privacy for both owners and guests. The gîte has its own private pool area, making it an ideal luxury holiday rental, guest accommodation or multi-generational living space.

Outside, the property truly comes into its own. The river flows alongside the house, creating a peaceful backdrop and an ever-present connection with the surrounding countryside. The extensive 7941m² of attached gardens offer privacy, space and a wonderful variety of settings in which to relax, entertain or simply enjoy the tranquillity of this exceptional environment.

Numerous terraces and outdoor seating areas provide the perfect spaces for al fresco dining and entertaining, while a beautifully equipped summer kitchen and bar, complete with wood-fired pizza oven, creates an irresistible focal point for gatherings with family, friends or holiday guests.

A substantial garage and workshop provide useful storage and practical workspace, while secure electric gates open onto ample private parking.

Every aspect of this property has been thoughtfully created to combine character, comfort, privacy and lifestyle. Whether continuing to operate a gite business, creating a private family retreat with income potential, or developing a new hospitality concept, this is a property with exceptional versatility and genuine rarity.

A character-filled historic property and an extraordinary riverside lifestyle — all in one exceptional French estate.
