luxury mill with pool for sale Côte-d'Or, France

In the Ouche valley, 20 minutes from Dijon, A converted mill with a pool and 1.4 ha grounds. Dated '1790' on a dressed-stone block and recorded on the Cassini map, the mill was acquired in 1834 by the Côte-d'Or departmental authority to regulate the water intake for lock 38 of the Canal de Bourgogne. A private buyer acquired it in 1984 as a ruin and rebuilt it entirely between 1986 and 1989, in a contemporary interpretation of rural Burgundian architecture, using the mill's original stones. Two dressed-stone wings on an L-plan, each under a gabled flat-tile roof, form a house of approximately 420 m² of living area; a pavilion-roofed turret marks their junction. To the north, a carriage gate opens onto a courtyard serving two independent entrances and the garages. Beyond the gate, the road disappears behind trees and the sound of water. Open to the south with no overlooking, a covered terrace runs the full length of the facade, leading onto grounds planted with mature trees and edged by the Ouche. To the south-west, the river forks into two arms around a grassed island of 4,630 m², reached by a footbridge. To the north-west, the waterfall — a remnant of the original mill mechanism — fills the site with a permanent murmur. The grounds hold a 12 m × 6 m pool with a shelter roofed in glazed polychrome geometric tiles in the Burgundian tradition, its structure in exposed timber framing, and an open barn of some 60 m² under matching roofing.
