And in the middle flows a river: In the countryside of Saulges (53), not far from the famous caves, this old mill impresses with its majestic elevation.

It is shared between the living area, the dining room, and the kitchen corner. There are period beam ceilings, beautiful floor tiles, and a fireplace with an insert that distributes heat in a few rooms upstairs.

This singular place is calling for a new owner willing to humbly continue the preservation of this thousand-year-old site.
