In the Breton hinterland, 30 minutes from the coast, a 19th-century mill and its reception room, set on over 5 hectares of meadows and woods. Built of stone, the mill is located in a wooded valley, alongside a watercourse that organizes its layout. Accessible via a small paved communal road that descends to the valley, access is via a small drivable bridge, equipped with a painted wooden barrier, which is followed by a turning area. An outbuilding appears first, recognizable by its large arched wooden panel door, painted blue, framed with stone, whose entrance is preceded by a flight of steps in patinated terracotta tiles, enhanced by a wall lantern. The main building, raised over two levels under a slate roof with three triangular dormer windows, features stone rubble facades and understated openings. The millrace and the watercourse, still visibly nearby, testify to the original purpose. The surroundings mix lawns, shrubbery beds, and tall-stemmed subjects (oaks, beeches, and sequoias), which open onto meadows and woods. Good-sized parking areas have been developed. Formerly offered for events, the site retains suitable structures — a reception room, professional kitchen, and restrooms — ready to be reused, or to be transformed (living area, indoor pool).This description has been automatically translated from French.
