luxury house with terrace for sale Soulaines-Dhuys, France

PROPERTY WITH AN OLD MILL IN HAUTE-MARNE In Sommevoire, the River Voire runs through the property and defines its layout. This 19th-century mill retains its machinery and traces of a past water-based industry. The river flows alongside the buildings and leads into a pond, creating a continuous aquatic presence at the heart of the grounds. The main house, a separate guesthouse and several outbuildings form a structured ensemble, ideal for family life or a hospitality venture rooted in the natural surroundings and the history of the site. SPACES THAT CONTINUE THE HISTORY Inside, the layout reflects the mill's original logic. The main residence features a fluid layout, centred around two living areas on the ground floor. This configuration allows for distinct atmospheres and adapts the spaces to different times of the day. Two bedrooms on this level offer comfort and flexibility in layout. The fitted kitchen integrates naturally into this dynamic and supports a daily life centred on sharing. Extending from these spaces, the upper floor offers a more intimate atmosphere. The master suite benefits from its own bathroom and a secluded layout. A large, versatile room lends itself to various uses, whether as a living room, an office or an additional bedroom. The landings organise the flow of movement and create a gentle transition between the levels. A few steps away, in the second building, the timber-floored levels house the mechanical systems across several storeys. Their scale gives the space a distinctive character. The self-contained guest house, comprising a living room with a fireplace, two bedrooms and a bathroom, allows families or guests to be accommodated in complete privacy. Thus, each space contributes to the overall harmony of this property featuring an old mill in Haute-Marne. A PARK FRAMED BY THE RIVER Outside, the same coherence is evident. The park, covering approximately one and a half hectares, is organised around the Voire, which runs through the property and forms its natural axis. The water accompanies one's movements, reflects the light and creates a sense of continuity. The pond extends this presence and creates a point of balance within the landscape. Together, the river and pond form a living setting, perceptible in every season. Within this context, the open meadows offer spaces suitable for various projects, notably light equestrian use. The views remain structured by the water and the positioning of the outbuildings. The park does more than simply surround the property. It extends the architecture and reinforces the site's roots. On this estate with an old mill in Haute-Marne, the relationship with water shapes daily life as much as the landscape. A PLACE ROOTED IN ITS TERRITORY Beyond the park, the site is part of a broader history. The mill is documented as far back as the 19th century, and an ordinance of 1836 authorised its conversion into a blast furnace. The preserved machinery bears witness to this evolution and anchors the site in a documented history. Living here means becoming part of a tangible continuity. Around Sommevoire, the rural environment remains shaped by watercourses and open landscapes. Forests and meadows create a setting ideal for outdoor activities. The proximity of Lake Der enhances the area's appeal and supports a hospitality project already underway thanks to the existing gîte. Thus, this property with an old mill in Haute-Marne benefits from a coherent local connection, at the crossroads of heritage and nature. AGENCY'S OPINION This property with an old mill in Haute-Marne is distinguished by the constant presence of water, carried by the River Voire and extended by a pond at the heart of the grounds.

The site demonstrates a rare harmony between its natural setting and documented history, and is ideal for a buyer who appreciates places with deep-rooted character and potential for development.

RIVER CHARM AND HOSPITALITY POTENTIAL ON THE BANKS OF THE AUBE MANOR HOUSE NEAR CHAUMONT On the banks of the River Aube, a former 15th-century mill, converted into a country house in the 18th century, boasts architecture that blends seamlessly into the landscape. Light-coloured stone, balanced volumes and outbuildings form a complex structured around a park of around eight hectares. Water frames the views and creates a constant dialogue between the building and nature. The interior layout reveals a structure suited to various uses, encompassing existing living spaces, areas dedicated to hospitality and spaces waiting to be reimagined. AN INTERIOR STEEPED IN HISTORY In La Ferté-sur-Aube, the walls preserve the memory of the original mill, evident in the depth of the spaces and the flow of the rooms. The living areas flow seamlessly into one another, accommodating both daily life and larger gatherings. The bedrooms, including several suites, form part of this continuity. One part of the house offers the privacy of residential use, whilst another lends itself to accommodation. Other spaces, still in the making, provide a foundation for future development, hinting at additional fittings depending on the projects envisaged. Further along, certain spaces reveal a more distinct purpose. A former professional kitchen, designed to orchestrate shared moments, evokes the past presence of renowned chefs. Not far away, a reception room continues this theme, allowing one to imagine gatherings, celebrations or communal occasions. More discreet, the mill's former machinery stands as a unique witness. It introduces an almost scenographic dimension, where the site's technical heritage can become a backdrop for more unexpected experiences or uses. The site suggests as much as it structures, leaving room for gradual appropriation, somewhere between habitation and project. THE PARK AS A REFUGE Outside, the estate stretches across meadows, mature trees and a natural riverside. The park, covering around eight hectares, forms an open landscape, ideal for a variety of uses, from simple leisure to outdoor hospitality activities. The outbuildings, already partially restored, are arranged around the manor house and extend its presence. Barns, former dormitories and ancillary buildings form a structured ensemble, offering additional spaces to be utilised as required. A tennis court completes the ensemble and contributes to the estate's welcoming atmosphere. Amidst stone, water and vegetation, the site maintains a balanced rhythm, allowing for a harmonious blend of private life and hospitality. A TERRITORY TO EXPLORE At the heart of a still-unspoilt region, between the vineyards of Champagne and the great forests of northern Burgundy, La Ferté-sur-Aube sets a slower, almost suspended pace. In the immediate vicinity, the National Forest Park encompasses one of the largest protected forest areas in Western Europe, offering an immersion in unspoilt nature. The landscapes alternate between deep forests and the hillsides of Champagne. Just a few minutes away, the Côte des Bar invites you to discover a lesser-known vineyard, whilst Burgundy extends the horizon. Let's imagine a day that begins in the tranquillity of the surrounding woods. Morning light streams through the rooms, accompanying a shared breakfast. Later, the roads lead to the vineyards, the cellars open, and the traditions are passed on. The afternoon brings us back to the estate. Our pace slows in the park or the neighbouring woods, as we observe and breathe in the air. In the evening, the spaces come alive again; a table is set, the place buzzes with activity, giving way to more intimate moments or larger gatherings. In this spirit, the place welcomes as much as it inspires. It becomes the setting for stays, gatherings or celebrations, underpinned by a direct relationship between nature, architecture and use. AGENCY'S VIEW This manor house in Laferté-sur-Aube offers a clear distinction between living space and project space. A former mill converted into a residence, it is situated in a sought-after setting between Champagne and Burgundy, in the immediate vicinity of a preserved natural area. Its layout, enhanced by spaces dedicated to hospitality, gastronomy and more unique uses, allows for a variety of projects, ranging from residential to hospitality, within a fluid and evolving approach to the site.
