luxury real estate for sale Sommevoire, France

A riverside holiday home in the Blaise Valley, Haute-Marne. The property is five minutes from Sommevoire, in a small rural commune with fewer than 100 inhabitants. Situated in the centre of the village, alongside a stone bridge over the River Blaise and a path only for local residents, it has a small garden with a well, enclosed by wrought-iron railings that close the garden off from the street, and a terrace at the back in front of the garden just above the river.

Situated close to the famous Lac du Der, this authentic mill, the first traces of which date back to the 11th century, spans 316 m² on a plot of 80 ares. A treasure trove of history nestled in a bucolic setting, with its typical Champagne half-timbering, exposed beams, old-fashioned fireplace and old paddle wheel, it exudes a warm atmosphere. This authentic setting has been perfectly respected by its owners, who have also equipped it with all the comforts of a contemporary home. From the moment you enter, the charm of the half-timbering is immediately apparent. The various character features of the house are skilfully highlighted by the many windows that provide an abundance of natural light. The living room, where the warmth of wood reigns supreme, features an impressive stone fireplace. It is extended on one side by a pleasant lounge with lighter tones, and on the other by an open-plan kitchen that sits behind the half-timbering. This provides access to a pleasant terrace beside the river. A bedroom and two shower rooms complete the ground floor. A charming wooden staircase leads up to the first floor, with its four bedrooms, two shower rooms, a dressing area and a vast, light-filled room, the use of which will be limited only by the imagination of its future owners. Another wing of the building houses all the old mill mechanisms, carefully preserved as evidence of a past rich in history. An impressive outbuilding, also dressed in half-timbering, and its vaulted cellar add to the many assets of the property, which has a water right founded in title. It is therefore possible to restore the old turbine in order to relaunch hydraulic production. The authentic setting and rich history of this property make it a unique property that will provide its future guests with a lifestyle full of serenity. Owned by the same family for 150 years, the mill has never been flooded. The system of gates regulates the flow of water.
