Alix de Lacheisserie, Romain Durand, and Efficity, the online real estate agency, present this enchanting property in Saint Amour – one of the few mills close to amenities. Built around 1860, the main house has been divided into two independent dwellings, connected by an internal staircase.
Partially located along the Besançon River, this former farmhouse enjoys diverse outdoor spaces:
- The mill and its feeder canal,
- Stone bridge,
- Wooded area along the road,
- Terraces and courtyards leading to large outbuildings,
- Elevated areas with a vast garden and orchard,
- Various meadows hosting solar panels, beehives, and agricultural projects... including a charming, colorful caravan!
The property reflects the owners' love for heritage and nature, blending multiple atmospheres that truly ''give it soul.''
The main house, perched on a knoll, comprises:
1st Unit: A large gravel terrace provides access to the ground-floor 1st unit, measuring 53.8 sqm and decorated in a ''vintage'' style:
- 26 sqm living room with a fully equipped kitchen and a GODIN stove – original tile flooring,
- A spacious 20.6 sqm bedroom with hardwood flooring,
- A shower room,
- Separate WC,
- Staircase to the upper unit, which can be closed off.
2nd Unit: Approximately 133 sqm, accessible from the rear of the house on a raised ground level, through a terrace.
Entering directly into this spacious, renovated 62.3 sqm open-plan living area, with a lounge area and fully equipped kitchen, the layout is bright with large windows, offering views over the mill wheel on one side and the wooded area on the other. The wood flooring, beams, quality materials, and equipment lend authenticity to the modern style.
The kitchen, renovated in 2014, features a large central island by MOBALPA with storage, including a stunning LACANCHE range, dishwasher, and a spacious fridge-freezer. This level also offers a utility room with dressing space, a 4.3 sqm bathroom, separate WC, and three large bedrooms (19, 15, and 20 sqm) with oak flooring, decorative fireplaces, two of which are adjoining with river views.
Attic: Convertible 124 sqm (5.34 m height at peak) + 26 sqm above one bedroom.
Exterior: Accessed via a picturesque path alongside a small wooded area by the canal and a charming stone bridge, a 96 sqm wooden barn with a mezzanine serves as a carport or workshop.
Nearby are three former pigsties, converted into a 33 sqm outbuilding, adjacent to another, now a culinary space featuring a pizza oven, bar, and preserves area. The owners have also created a vintage-style terrace with a wooden canopy, known as the “restaurant,” with its stone wall, beams, and stairs leading to a second sheltered terrace with views of the vegetable garden, connecting to the upper part of the main outbuilding – a real ''gem'' of the property.
In the center of the courtyard stands the main outbuilding: a beautiful barn of 101 sqm with an additional 79 sqm mezzanine, stone paving, remarkable beam work, passing through to the meadows beyond.
Basement: A cellar serves as a utility room and storage, with ceiling insulation.
The grounds include varied scenic areas: canal and bief, the mill wheel adding a rhythmic hum, bridges, duck enclosure, meadows shaded by century-old trees or featuring a caravan, elevated vegetable garden, orchard, medicinal plants, cozy seating areas, quirky vintage decor, and even a goose crossing the terrace...
