Abundant valley of 1.16 ha: mill race, waterfall, wheel, river gorge… Maximum recent comfort, solar panels, rare energy performance certificate.

Over a string of about twenty mills visible on the Cassini map, the Moulin Sonate remains to this day the first downstream of the source of a mountain stream, initially tumultuous, in the hollow of a rocky gorge. Formerly, the Moulin Sonate, 'founded from time immemorial', had two superimposed wheels under a fall of about 5 meters, and two pairs of millstones for grinding grain; in the 19th century, it expanded to carve the beautiful marbled stone of the region. Listed in the Industrial Heritage of Jura, this large historical building marked the 20th century: the last flour mill in the municipality, it continued to grind grain until 1954. These two pairs of millstones, with three roller mills, allowed a throughput of 500 quintals of wheat per day in 1934. The axis of the first wheel can still be seen, and the second wheel, below, on the south side of the mill. The rosy stones that remain visible on its facades, rot-proof, illuminate it from morning to evening in its private valley of over one hectare surrounded by woods, between the rocks where the tumultuous water sounds, not far from the hiking paths of the Petites Montagnes du Jura. A few kilometers from the charming historic town of Saint-Amour, the site, free of nuisances and neighbors, seems secluded from the world, in the land of 'reculées'. The stream descending the hill and crossing the property flows, singing, under the small stone bridges, amidst dense tree species of great variety.The mill made of local marbled pink and white stone, with 5-star facilities; interiors separated between east and west by a stone partition wall: • 100 m² cellar, and 65 m² technical rooms (former machine room at level 0): * axis of the old wheel; * laundry room; * boiler room (heat pump system, and solar panels…).
