EXCLUSIVE TO ESPACES ATYPIQUES. Nestled 15 minutes from Saintes, in a protected, flood-free natural environment, this former 17th-century flour mill reveals a unique living space where history and nature intertwine harmoniously. Bisected by the stream that once powered the mill wheel, this estate offers a rare bucolic setting where the river meanders peacefully through a verdant, wooded landscape. The main building benefits from a particularly serene atmosphere, punctuated by the murmur of the water and the omnipresent nature. Protected for its cultural, historical, and architectural significance, the mill has been carefully renovated, respecting its original character, revealing a warm and inviting home where stone, wood, and antique elements still tell the story of the place. The main house offers approximately 186 sqm of living space. Upon entering, the spacious kitchen, designed as a true living area, is perfect for convivial gatherings around an authentic Nordica wood-burning stove, ideal for those who love cooking and a warm atmosphere. Adjoining it, a living room with a period fireplace invites relaxation. A rare architectural detail catches the eye: a semicircular opening offering a glimpse of the mill's hydraulic turbine and pulley, subtly highlighted and bearing witness to the site's industrial past. The ground floor also includes a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a laundry room. Upstairs, a stunning 23 sqm mezzanine with cathedral ceilings provides an inspiring, light-filled office space. Two generous bedrooms of 27 sqm and 30 sqm, each with a toilet and washbasin, complete this level. One of these bedrooms maintains direct access to the adjoining mill, allowing for the possibility of future expansion of the living space. The top floor, formerly the attic, stands out with its two mansard-roofed spaces of 31 sqm and 28 sqm of usable floor area, perfect for creating a playroom, guest bedrooms, or a dedicated children's area. Adjoining the house, the original mill offers approximately 280 sqm of living space spread over two levels and represents a significant opportunity for heritage enthusiasts looking to develop a complementary renovation project. The ground floor includes a 42 sqm room, a 25 sqm room housing the still-functional hydraulic turbine, a wine cellar, and a storage cellar, offering numerous possibilities for restoration. Outside, the property extends over nearly 13,000 sqm of land in a peaceful natural setting. A terrace of approximately 110 sqm allows you to fully enjoy the landscape and the view of the spring, the wash house, and the stream that flows through the property. Several outbuildings complete the property, including a garage, a carport with a shelter for a campervan, a garden shed, and a wood storage area. In terms of amenities, the house benefits from air-to-water heat pump heating supplemented by underfloor heating in the entrance hall, kitchen, and dining room. The floors combine tiles and original solid wood flooring, contributing to the authentic charm of the property. The windows are tilt-and-turn with gas-filled double glazing and wood-effect shutters that require no painting. The entire property is secured by a wired alarm system, and access is via an electric gate opening onto a parking area adjacent to the house. Steeped in history and deeply rooted in its natural surroundings, this unique property will appeal to lovers of heritage, nature, and authentic places where time seems to stand still. While water is naturally part of the character of this place, the house and garage have never experienced flooding.
