luxury architect house for sale Saint-Géréon, France

Just 45 minutes from Nantes and Angers, in a protected natural setting, this remarkable early 20th-century mill has undergone an exceptional restoration where heritage, architecture, and lifestyle blend in rare harmony. Bordered by the river, the property immediately invites you to slow down. The murmur of the water, the omnipresent light, and the open views of nature create a unique atmosphere, that of a true sanctuary. A place where you instantly feel protected, far from the hustle and bustle, while enjoying decidedly contemporary comfort. Developed over several levels, the mill has been completely renovated, guided by a single philosophy: to offer fluid, generous, and luminous spaces, where every movement feels natural and the eye is never obstructed. The first level features a vast living room with remarkable proportions, enhanced by the original vaulted ceilings, carefully selected materials, and views of the river. Built-in library, reception areas, and ample storage create a warm and inviting interior, while a separate bedroom with its own bathroom offers complete privacy for hosting family and friends or creating a dedicated workspace. The staircase then leads to the main level, the true heart of the property. A spectacular, light-filled reception room combines an open-plan kitchen, dining area, and living room in an atmosphere that is both welcoming and refined. Custom-designed layouts optimize the space without ever compromising its spaciousness. Adjoining this room, the master suite is a true haven, featuring a fireplace, an open-plan bathroom, a walk-in shower, and soothing views of the surrounding natural environment. The third and fourth levels offer a completely different experience. Beneath the exposed beams, a vast, adaptable space currently houses an office and a library. An artist's studio, a home office, a reading room, or an additional bedroom--the possibilities are endless. The glass ceilings diffuse exceptional natural light and further enhance the feeling of spaciousness. The highlight of the visit is the fully glazed tower, the architectural signature of the property. A veritable suspended belvedere, it offers a 360° panoramic view of the river and the surrounding landscapes. A secluded space, ideal for contemplation, reading, or simply observing the changing seasons. On the lower level, the mill retains its historic foundations, with a cellar housing the old waterwheel, a true testament to its industrial past. Currently undergoing restoration, this wheel offers remarkable potential for heritage enthusiasts wishing to breathe new life into this iconic feature without compromising the authentic character of the site. An elegant, independent outbuilding harmoniously completes the ensemble. Furnished with the same high standards, it boasts its own private entrance, garden, and quality amenities. It is equally suited to hosting family and friends, for rental purposes, or as an independent professional space. Beyond its features and architecture, this property tells a story. This former mill has been transformed into an inspiring living space, where water, stone, and light are in constant dialogue. Conceived as both a sanctuary and a family home, it offers a rare quality of life, inviting you to reconnect with what truly matters. An exceptional property for lovers of architecture, heritage, and nature, seeking a secluded address where every detail contributes to a unique living experience.
