Sacrificed price! The Lys Bourbonnais, specialist in mills and water rights, offers you a mill at a sacrificed price: Mill founded in title and on title 215 m² (6 rooms), its miller's house gîte "Clef verte" 202 m² (8 rooms) in Combrailles (03/63) Ecological renovations of the buildings.

Wooded and lush site by the edge of 2 streams, on 3.8 ha of meadows, woods, tree-lined and flowered park. Possibility of gîte or guest room activity. In the land of Combrailles still Bourbonnais, small streams make great mills. The stream which, through fields, carries the water from the dam from south to north to the closed reservoir of a shovel, has taken the name of the strong house that watches over this wild, wooded valley of a thousand essences that enjoy growing towards the sky or in the shade of small hills. This "Stream of the Valley" flows against its neighbor meandering from west to east, "Riau de la Source", bathing the garden of the house dependent on the ancient mill, which, with its large miller's house and barn, forms a picturesque ensemble typical of this region shaken by eruptions of small volcanoes that have become harmless. The inscription of 1718 engraved on the granite stone of the mill hall door certainly indicates an 18th-century building present on the Cassini map, but some works, such as the abée of the reservoir, cut in stone, or the beveled door cladding, are indicators of the presence of an ancient mill long before this one. Moreover, alone, and flowing through peaceful days without neighbors disturbed downstream by the flow of the riau, the Moulin de l'Astre du Jour has no need to be regulated. Its existence is enough for its peaceful rolling to grant itself the right to water, confirmed by an order from 2025. Dam, canal, reservoir with gates, abée, raw drop of more than 8 m, waterway, axle of the wheel (alas without more wheel) accessories of an innate charm, or of a future wheel song, remain along this small quiet valley surrounded by priories, churches (one with a twisted bell tower), old castles or more recent châteaux.

Situated in the heart of the beautiful Limousin countryside, close to the charming town of Châteauneuf-la-Forêt and just 40 minutes from Limoges, this remarkable 18th-19th century château estate offers an extraordinary opportunity to acquire one of the region's most unique historic properties. Unlike a traditional fairytale castle', this estate combines authentic French heritage with an intriguing and unusual history that gives the property genuine character and commercial potential. Originally constructed for aristocratic ownership during the late 18th or early 19th century, the château entered a completely different chapter of its life in 1934 when it was acquired by the CHU hospital group of Limoges and transformed into a sanatorium dedicated to the treatment of tuberculosis and chronic illnesses, before the widespread use of antibiotics. During this period, several substantial buildings were added to the estate, including a former hospital complex of approximately 1,200m² which still stands today. As medical treatments evolved, the site later became a psychiatric care institution before finally closing in 1995. In 2000, the current owners purchased the estate from the CHU of Limoges and undertook an immense programme of restoration and redevelopment. While the exterior of the château had retained its elegant historic appearance, decades of institutional use had stripped the interior of its original decorative features. Rather than attempting to recreate the past artificially, the owners embraced the opportunity to create a distinctive blend of historic architecture and contemporary design. The result is a property with striking modern interiors set within an authentic château exterior, offering comfort, practicality and style while preserving the estate's historical identity. The château itself now offers exceptional reception and hospitality facilities. On the ground floor there is a large boiler room with an efficient wood-fired central heating system, office space, a magnificent reception hall perfectly suited for weddings and events, a games room and a fully equipped professional commercial kitchen ideal for caterers or in-house hospitality operations. The first floor features a luxurious two-bedroom apartment with kitchen, lounge, dining room, dressing room and bathroom. The second floor offers a further spacious and beautifully appointed two-bedroom apartment with large lounge, kitchen, dining room, office and bathroom. These elegant apartments are perfectly suited as premium guest accommodation or bridal suites for weddings and private events. Beyond the château, the former hospital buildings provide enormous development potential. Parts have already been renovated, including the creation of high-quality shower and toilet facilities for the campsite, where each pitch benefits from its own private bathroom space ? a rare and highly attractive feature for luxury camping. Additional apartments were successfully rented until the owners' recent retirement. The remaining wings of the former hospital have largely untouched potential, offering the possibility to create at least 25 additional bedrooms or approximately 6 to 8 substantial apartments, subject to the necessary permissions. This is where the estate becomes truly exceptional as a hospitality or events business: very few wedding venues are capable of accommodating entire wedding parties on-site. With the possibility of over 30 bedrooms plus 25 camping pitches, the commercial possibilities are considerable. The owners operated the business on only a limited seasonal basis of approximately eight weeks per year, generating around euros140,000 annually from safari tents and holiday accommodation alone. This demonstrates both the appeal of the location and the strength of the concept. A future owner could significantly expand operations through year-round château rentals, weddings, retreats, wellness events, corporate functions or boutique hospitality. The estate therefore offers not only a major development opportunity, but also the ability to generate revenue almost immediately. The grounds are equally impressive. In front of the château lies an elegant lawned park with swimming pool, while to the rear are landscaped gardens, terraces, a bar area, snack kitchen, outdoor dining terraces and covered entertaining spaces. Numerous outbuildings, walled gardens, woodland and meadowland extend across the estate, creating endless opportunities for leisure activities, animals, glamping or nature-based tourism. Hidden within the woodland is an enchanting pond, reached by peaceful forest walks with spectacular countryside views throughout. This is not simply another château. It is a rare and highly distinctive estate with a fascinating past, substantial existing infrastructure and exceptional commercial potential. Whether envisioned as a luxury wedding venue, wellness retreat, boutique hospitality destination, private estate or tourism project, the pro (5.13 % fees incl. VAT at the buyer's expense.)

Tucked away in a lush green valley, in the Berry countryside so dear to George Sand, lies a place seemingly untouched by time: a 12th-century former Cistercian abbey, listed as a Historic Monument, whose buildings and surviving remains tell the story of nearly nine centuries of history. Set within an unspoilt natural environment and crossed by a small river, the property extends over more than 4 hectares of parkland, meadows and gardens, partly enclosed by old stone walls. From the moment one arrives, its charm is undeniable: ancient stonework, traditional roofs, century-old trees, courtyards and gardens come together to create a setting of remarkable authenticity. The former Prior’s House forms the main residence. It comprises eight rooms, including five bedrooms, and retains precious traces of its past: the former cloister gallery, wall paintings, arrow slits and historic architectural features. These details give the property that rare and distinctive atmosphere found only in houses deeply rooted in history. Nearby, the former monks’ refectory, measuring approximately 130 sqm, has been restored and converted into a guest house. A former henhouse, now transformed into a studio, together with several outbuildings barns, garage, cellar and boiler room complete the estate. The property has already benefited from significant restoration work, but now awaits a new owner to continue and complete its restoration. It will appeal to someone with a genuine appreciation for architectural heritage, whose ambition is not to transform the property, but rather to reveal its full potential while preserving its unique identity. For this former abbey is far more than simply a property. It is a place with a soul, a history and a presence of its own a heritage to live in, preserve and pass on to future generations. Located just 10 minutes from a town offering all amenities, and along the historic Way of Saint James to Santiago de Compostela, this is a rare opportunity for those with a passion for historic architecture, ancient stone and properties steeped in history.AI-enhanced photography no alteration to the property’s features
