PROPERTY WITH AN OLD MILL IN HAUTE-MARNE In Sommevoire, the River Voire runs through the property and defines its layout. This 19th-century mill retains its machinery and traces of a past water-based industry. The river flows alongside the buildings and leads into a pond, creating a continuous aquatic presence at the heart of the grounds. The main house, a separate guesthouse and several outbuildings form a structured ensemble, ideal for family life or a hospitality venture rooted in the natural surroundings and the history of the site. SPACES THAT CONTINUE THE HISTORY Inside, the layout reflects the mill's original logic. The main residence features a fluid layout, centred around two living areas on the ground floor. This configuration allows for distinct atmospheres and adapts the spaces to different times of the day. Two bedrooms on this level offer comfort and flexibility in layout. The fitted kitchen integrates naturally into this dynamic and supports a daily life centred on sharing. Extending from these spaces, the upper floor offers a more intimate atmosphere. The master suite benefits from its own bathroom and a secluded layout. A large, versatile room lends itself to various uses, whether as a living room, an office or an additional bedroom. The landings organise the flow of movement and create a gentle transition between the levels. A few steps away, in the second building, the timber-floored levels house the mechanical systems across several storeys. Their scale gives the space a distinctive character. The self-contained guest house, comprising a living room with a fireplace, two bedrooms and a bathroom, allows families or guests to be accommodated in complete privacy. Thus, each space contributes to the overall harmony of this property featuring an old mill in Haute-Marne. A PARK FRAMED BY THE RIVER Outside, the same coherence is evident. The park, covering approximately one and a half hectares, is organised around the Voire, which runs through the property and forms its natural axis. The water accompanies one's movements, reflects the light and creates a sense of continuity. The pond extends this presence and creates a point of balance within the landscape. Together, the river and pond form a living setting, perceptible in every season. Within this context, the open meadows offer spaces suitable for various projects, notably light equestrian use. The views remain structured by the water and the positioning of the outbuildings. The park does more than simply surround the property. It extends the architecture and reinforces the site's roots. On this estate with an old mill in Haute-Marne, the relationship with water shapes daily life as much as the landscape. A PLACE ROOTED IN ITS TERRITORY Beyond the park, the site is part of a broader history. The mill is documented as far back as the 19th century, and an ordinance of 1836 authorised its conversion into a blast furnace. The preserved machinery bears witness to this evolution and anchors the site in a documented history. Living here means becoming part of a tangible continuity. Around Sommevoire, the rural environment remains shaped by watercourses and open landscapes. Forests and meadows create a setting ideal for outdoor activities. The proximity of Lake Der enhances the area's appeal and supports a hospitality project already underway thanks to the existing gîte. Thus, this property with an old mill in Haute-Marne benefits from a coherent local connection, at the crossroads of heritage and nature. AGENCY'S OPINION This property with an old mill in Haute-Marne is distinguished by the constant presence of water, carried by the River Voire and extended by a pond at the heart of the grounds. The preserved machinery, the layout comprising the main residence and gîte, as well as the outbuildings, provide a solid foundation for a residential or tourism project. The site demonstrates a rare harmony between its natural setting and documented history, and is ideal for a buyer who appreciates places with deep-rooted character and potential for development.

Ref 4809: Manor house with guest rooms and a reception hall set in 7.9-hectare grounds near Troyes. This manor house is situated on the outskirts of a village, just five minutes from the A5 motorway junction, on the road leading to the charming little town of Châteauvillain. The River Aube runs alongside the property on one side, its current more brisk than tranquil. At the far end of the grounds, an old poplar grove traces fine vertical lines against the horizon. Beyond the river, the view stretches far into the distance, taking in gently rolling countryside, bordered by the wooded fringe that looms in the distance. The place exudes a delightful atmosphere steeped in bourgeois classicism, evoking those hushed Sundays of yesteryear, when customs were still carefully observed. This imposing residence, like a stone vessel moored on the banks of the Aube, is currently in good condition. It now awaits an ambitious project, in a strategic region at the crossroads of Champagne and Burgundy, on a route linking the north with more southerly horizons. This property comprises 21 rooms, including 11 bedrooms, spread across four areas within a single building, with a total floor area of approximately 850 sqm. On the left is the residential section (identifiable by the modern door). On the ground floor, it comprises an entrance hall, a dining room and a kitchen. The upper floors comprise an office in a hallway, three bedrooms and two shower rooms, as well as a master suite with an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe. This living area, designed as a true ‘home within a home’, is separate from the guest accommodation, as well as the garage and workshops (basketry). The area housing the guest rooms and reception opens onto a French-style billiard room, facing an elegant fireplace adorned with a carved wooden lintel. This room leads into a kitchen steeped in history, where it is said that Paul Bocuse once worked: his name appears above the door, whilst a collection of pots and pans keeps his memory alive. The tour continues, culminating in the true heart of the property: a former drawing room of remarkable proportions, extended by a veranda offering a pleasant view of the grounds. Featuring a 19th-century fireplace, this room now hosts receptions, particularly weddings. Finally, this space is equipped with separate toilet facilities for men and women, designed to accommodate large numbers of visitors. Upstairs, the first section comprises five bedrooms, two shower rooms and two bathrooms. A second section, with an atmosphere imbued with old-world charm, includes two further bedrooms and a bathroom. One of these bedrooms, a truly unique room, stands out for its four fully painted walls, creating an immersive setting where wild boars, stags and does seem to watch over the property from the early hours of the morning. Finally, a staircase leads to two attics, one of which boasts high ceilings. The third section of the building, which houses the garage, comprises two rooms with unfinished floors on the ground floor, as well as two further floors to be converted, including an attic. The fourth section comprises the old mill, known locally as ‘la vannerie’, which has retained all its equipment from the last century, as if frozen in time, ready to be brought back to life. On the ground floor, there is a large garage and a kitchen opening out onto both the grounds and a small canal designed to supply water to the mill. The upper floors offer, subject to some renovation work, excellent potential for conversion, allowing for the creation of a family home comprising up to six bedrooms, two bathrooms and two stacked attics. The outbuildings cover a total area of approximately 3,500 sqm. They comprise: A/ A garage Adjacent to the main building is a garage covering an area of approximately 500 sqm. B/ The accommodation building Covering an area of approximately 1,500 sqm, this reception and accommodation building comprises five dormitories, toilet facilities, a kitchen with a dining area and a storage space. C/ A former orangery D/ A garden shed The property comprises approximately 7.9 hectares (19.5 acres) of land, including plots situated upstream of the River Aube, inland, as well as on the other side of the road leading to Chateauvillain. The grounds consist of extensive lawns and a pleasant wooded area. The property also features a quick-surface tennis court. A local path runs alongside the wooded area on one side, whilst the park is bordered on the other by the River Aube. The park's appeal lies today - and will lie even more so in the future - in the refreshing atmosphere and the enjoyment the river offers on fine days.

House with lake view near Langres Facing the peaceful mirror of Lake Saint-Ciergues, this stone house tells a story of light and silence. It is anchored in a landscape where water, forest, and sky compose a new scene every day. Here, life returns to its natural rhythm: mornings open onto the brilliance of an endless horizon, evenings end in a soft golden light, and each season renews the emotion of living in this place. Designed as a family home, it combines old-world charm and discreet comfort, blending the soul of time-worn walls with inspired renovation. It is a place to welcome, to gather, to savor the simple pleasures of the countryside. A house overlooking the lake near Langres that offers much more than a setting, it offers a way of being in the world: in harmony with nature, in constant dialogue with light, and deeply rooted in time. An interior shaped by time and the seasons Inside, the atmosphere is unpretentious. The generous volumes breathe, the light flows freely, and the materials tell a story of ancient gestures and contemporary attention to detail. Here, stone dialogues with wood, perspectives open onto the outside, and spaces become intimate refuges. Each room seems designed to welcome a different emotion: the laughter of an impromptu dinner in the large reception room, the tranquility of an afternoon spent reading while gazing out at the landscape, the intimacy of a nighttime conversation under ancient beams. The bedrooms, scattered throughout the house, each offer a special atmosphere, conducive to rest and reunion. Here, you feel that rare sensation of being in a home that does not seek to seduce with glitz, but with the depth of its soul. It is an interior that does not impose itself: it accompanies, envelops, inspires. Where the horizon becomes home Outside, the gaze wanders toward the shifting infinity of the lake and valley. The water reflects the changing lights of the sky, the nearby forest provides a deep green backdrop, and the carefully landscaped garden invites contemplation. The terraces unfold like natural promontories, places for summer meals, moments suspended in time, long discussions at dusk. The garden stretches towards the horizon, punctuated by peaceful corners where time seems to slow down. Here, nature is not decorative: it is alive, moving, ever-present. In winter, it envelops the house in silent beauty; in spring, it awakens it with brilliance. Each window frames a different picture, each walk around the lake offers a new perspective. It is a place where you live outside as much as inside, where each season reinvents the experience of everyday life and where you learn to listen to the simple rhythms of the world. A land of nature and art de vivre Here, everything invites discovery. Langres, a fortified city steeped in history, reveals its majestic ramparts, lively markets, and memory-filled streets just a few kilometers away. Around it, Haute-Marne unfolds like an open book: lakes, forests, trails, picturesque villages, hidden vineyards, and artisanal know-how. Every outing becomes a break from the ordinary: a bike ride along the water, a day of sailing, a wine tasting at a vineyard, an evening concert in a medieval basilica. Here, the art of living is combined with authenticity, between nature and culture, simplicity and elegance. The proximity of major roads and cities such as Dijon and Nancy allows you to stay connected while enjoying a rare tranquility. It is a place you will always want to return to, because it offers much more than just a setting: it offers a rhythm, a breath of fresh air, a philosophy of life. Agency opinion More than just a house, this residence is a manifesto of the art of living. It will appeal to nature lovers, those who appreciate light, and families looking for a place to create lasting memories. It is a rare, discreet, and elegant refuge that transcends the seasons and enhances every moment. Here, you don't just live: you put down roots, marvel, breathe. It is a house that soothes, inspires, and tells a story?your story.

Ref.4464 : French listed château for sale in Haute-Marne department. This chateau, a major building in the region, is located in Haute-Marne (52), between Champagne and Lorraine, in a rural village in the heart of the Sueurre valley, dominated by two wooded hills. From the outside, a trained eye will notice the rusticated stone gateway, where the spires of the old drawbridge are embedded. This gateway is adorned with a sculpted stone facade characteristic of the second French Renaissance. Only the pedestrian entrance is used today, while the main entrance is via the main gate through the park. Just 500 metres outside the village, there is a supermarket for everyday needs, while the town of Chaumont, with its many shops and services, can be reached in 20 minutes (24 km). The A5 motorway is half an hour away, making it possible to reach Paris in 3 hours. The nearest airports are Strasbourg (230 km), Basel-Mulhouse (250 km) and Lyon (325 km). Ideally located on the route of the abbeys and châteaux of Haute-Marne, the château offers privileged access to renowned historic sites such as the Abbaye de la Crête and the Abbaye des Sept Fontaines. Nearby, you can enjoy a 9-hole golf course at Arc-en-Barrois (48 km) and several horse-riding centres, the nearest being 15 km away. There are also plenty of tourist attractions in the surrounding area, including the Domaine des Trois Forêts (Center Parcs), Colombey-les-Deux-Églises with La Boisserie, the family home of General de Gaulle, and the Charles de Gaulle Memorial. The village's main street passes in front of the gatehouse, without generating any noise pollution, as the ground floor rooms have double windows, as was customary under Louis XV, and the bedrooms overlook the courtyard of honour, on the parkland side. Its sober defensive facade is not eye-catching, but it supports a garden level that is entirely vaulted with 16th-century ribbed ceilings. The ornamentation is a moving testimony to the Louis XV period. Add to this the superimposition of different architectural styles, from the Middle Ages to the 19th century, the century of industry, and you have a plunge into the strata of history that is sure to whet your curiosity. The gatehouse overlooking the road is no longer used. Today, the entrance is via the gravelled main courtyard overlooking the park. The façade on the courtyard side has just been professionally refurbished, adding even more splendour to this vast château with its 1,400sqm of living space. The ground floor and 1st floor offer around 740sqm of living space each, with ceiling heights of around 4.5 metres. On the ground floor, you enter through the main door into the interior of the porter's house. You will notice a mosaic with gold tesserae on the ceiling and frescoes of sea anchors. To the left is a vestibule with the start of the 1st Empire wooden grand staircase leading to the 1st floor. Following on from the vestibule is the VIP dining room, a beautiful noble space (approx. 55 sqm) with natural wood panelling, an imposing Louis XV Rococo fireplace and fine china cabinets. The ceiling features a gypsum Maltese cross. Further on, a vaulted living room with ribbed ceilings highlights an architectural feature characteristic of the Middle Ages. The parquet floors are herringbone, as throughout the château. A double door gives access to the crockery room with its stone and zinc sink. This vaulted room, now used as a reception room, leads to the 18th-century entrance hall with its white Lorraine stone staircase and wrought-iron banister by Jean Lamour, then on to the large Louis XV drawing room in the left wing. Everything here is wood panelled and richly decorated, like the frescoes of horns of plenty. There is also a beautiful Louis XV Rococo-style fireplace and double windows. The Grand Salon is extended by another salon, known as the ‘Bird Salon’, entirely panelled in Louis XV style and adorned with a white marble Rocaille fireplace. It is decorated with Restoration period furniture and a French billiard table (Charles X). The firebacks all bear the coat of arms of Guillaume Tavernier de Boullonge, treasurer of Louis XV's extraordinary war department, who had the château rebuilt in 1766. The south tower houses a toilet and a linen room with a fireplace under its barrel vault (formerly the castle chapel). From the gateway, in the centre of the main courtyard, a corridor decorated with hunting trophies leads off to the right to a monumental kitchen topped by a ribbed vault. The kitchen is the size of the château. Everything is still as it was in the 16th and 17th centuries: vegetable garden, cast-iron oven, copper fountain, collection of copperware and porcelain and, more recently, the labels of the wines that were served. On the right, as you leave the kitchen, there is a notice board used to call the servants. Once you have passed the staff dining room (designed to seat 15 people), which adjoins the kitchen, you will come to a surprisingly bright white room. This dairy, all carved stone, had to be spotlessly clean. It is richly decorated with a collection of copper and pewter (*). Further on, you come to the square north tower housing a vaulted room (here, as in the kitchen, the main dining room and the adjoining drawing room, in the old medieval main building) that served as a guard room. From here, a stone spiral staircase leads to the 1st floor. The right wing features a series of lounges on the ground floor, a summer kitchen and a toilet, accessed via an exterior door leading to the courtyard of the outbuildings. In the left wing, after passing through the entrance protected by a beautiful marquise, you will discover Napoleon's bedroom upstairs. Legend has it that he spent a night here! This generously sized room has Louis XV panelling and an alcove that blend harmoniously with the furniture, fireplace and trumeau from the First Empire. This was the bedroom of Duke Decrès. A warm note emanates from the adjoining study, thanks to a pale yellow ‘bee’ wallpaper. The atmosphere here is almost ‘intimate’, despite the weight of the history it contains. It is conceivable that the maritime aspect of the Egyptian campaign was developed in this room.... Behind the alcove is a toilet and a hidden staircase leading to a servant's bedroom on the mezzanine floor. Still on the first floor, a bathroom opens onto a long corridor that leads to the Duke's bedroom, his study and a landing that opens onto a library. The Duke Decrès's sea charts add a touch of the exotic to this place dedicated to travel and exploration. You can continue your exploration by taking the corridor leading from the library to the bedroom and sitting room of the Duke of Albufera. The first floor of the south tower has two bedrooms, one with fine Louis XV panelling and an alcove, a bathroom and a toilet. Further on, on the landing of the grand staircase leading to the main entrance, you will come across an imposing studded door, sheathed in leather, which marks the passageway to the flats of Duchesse Decrès. A flat overlooking the park has been entirely dedicated to her, with a complete suite: bedroom with Louis XV panelling and white marble rocaille fireplace, back door to a dressing room (formerly a hidden passageway), study with fireplace, bathroom with wc, sitting room with Louis XV panelling and rocaille fireplace, then a panelled bedroom opening onto a small bathroom. In this intimate space, on the scale of the place, the Louis XV panelling and a back door lend themselves to the play of romantic intrigue. The same cannot be said of the flats of the Marquis de Bonnevilliers, located in the right wing. Comprising a large drawing room and a bedroom followed by a bathroom with toilet in the gallery, this suite has a more masculine feel. Other rooms, notably in the towers and on the ground floor to the north, including a summer kitchen, make up almost the entire residence. We'll stop here to leave a little more room for surprise when you discover all the rooms in this castle, of which there are more than 35. You'll need just a few minutes to find your way around this exceptional residence, which is steeped in history both large and small, with anecdotes sure to crop up and the invisible people, the servants, whose moving traces can be found in the attic.... * Furniture is not included in the sale. The outbuildings include: a bakery, a laundry room, a large barn, two stables, a tack room, an upstairs service flat, a coach house, a workshop, a cow shed, a laundry room, a hen house and a dovecote. The ceilings in the stable are recent, but the rest of the rooms are in original condition. The wood-fired boiler in the stables, overhauled in 2021, will need to be relaunched. The caretaker's cottage, built over vaulted cellars, comprises a living room with kitchen, three bedrooms, a bathroom and two bedrooms upstairs. It is heated by an oil-fired boiler and has a vegetable garden with a tool shed and a kennel. At the southern end of the estate is the imposing main gate, recently restored. Let the gentle tinkling of the River Sueurre, which runs through the estate, be your guide as you enter the grounds. Following a pleasant path through the undergrowth, known as the ‘3 springs’, you will cross three bridges spanning several branches of the river. On the right is a pond with still, dark waters, contrasting with the quivering of a small waterfall downstream. An ancient gazebo, witness to a past that was also glorious, stands next to an old fishpond that was once poisoned. As you walk up the bridle path towards the château, the coolness of the tall trees will make you forget the heatwave for a moment. Others won't mind, like the squealing children who can splash about and play on the beach set up for them on the banks of the Sueurre. Further on, an ancient semi-circular open-air theatre occupies the site of the Renaissance garden bordered by two turrets and a rose garden. A dovecote, as straight as an I, acts as a mineral punctuation mark in a planted environment. The English-style park features woods (around 1.5 hectares), meadows, rivers and springs. It is enclosed by a stone wall and a wire fence. Overlooking the park, with the façade of the château in the background, are the remains of an orangery built in 1830. A sundial sits in the middle of the main courtyard. Facing the park designed in 1855 for Princess Mathilde, the estate once stretched as far as the forest, which can be seen in the distance. Copses of trees line either side of a gently sloping lawn, extended by pastoral meadows. There is not a single modern-day scar to disturb this unchanging landscape, worthy of a posthumous William Turner painting. From all the rooms overlooking the south-east façade, you'll be swept away by the view and a delightfully romantic atmosphere, filled with reveries and autumnal dawns. The total surface area of the property is 11.70 acres (4ha 73a 60ca).
