Mill Dijon (21)

In the Ouche valley, 20 minutes from Dijon, a former mill transformed into a house, with its pool and a 1.4-hectare park. Dated '1790' on a limestone stone, the mill is featured on the Cassini map. It was acquired in 1834 by the Côte-d'Or prefecture to control the water intake supplying the Burgundy Canal at section 38. Purchased by a private occupant in 1984, in a state of ruin, it was fully reconstructed between 1986 and 1989 using the original mill stones, in a contemporary interpretation of Burgundian rural architecture. Two volumes, built in an L-shape plan, made of dressed stone, topped with two-sided roofs of flat tiles, form a living space of approximately 420 m². A turret with a pavilion roof connects them. To the north, a drive-through gate leads to a courtyard where the two independent entrances and garages are organized. Once past the gate, the road immediately fades behind the trees and the murmur of water. The property opens to the south, sheltered from any overlook: the covered terrace, which runs along the facade, extends into the park planted with centenary trees, bordered by the Ouche. To the southwest, the river divides into two arms, forming an island of 4,630 m² accessible by a bridge. The waterfall to the northwest, a remnant of the mill's mechanism, animates the site. The park features a pool of 12 m × 6 m, with its shelter of glazed tiles in polychromatic geometric patterns in the Burgundian tradition, with exposed timber framing, as well as an open barn of about 60 m², with a roof of glazed tiles.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Mill Mhère (58)

THE VAUPRANGES MILL IN THE MORVAN In Mhère, at the Vaupranges Mill, a road winds down into the valley floor to a property crossed by the Anguison River. The stone building stands in front of the millrace and retains part of its mechanism, which is visible from the living areas. The house comprises nine rooms, including six bedrooms, spread over four levels, and is currently used as a vacation rental. Some rooms are in daily use, while others still need to be developed. Outbuildings, land, and a swimming pool complete the property. ARRIVAL AT THE VALLEY FLOOR Access follows a road that winds down through the woods to the valley floor. The mill is situated on the edge of the millstream, in an open setting of meadows and forest edges. Built around 1650, its proportions and location place it among the hydraulic structures of the Morvan region. The building has been restored in keeping with its original structure. The woodwork has been refurbished, the doors are made of oak, the floors have been insulated, and the utilities have been updated. The entryway leads to a first living area. The living room, featuring a fireplace, opens onto the landscape and extends into a wooden veranda overlooking the garden. The estate spans 2.18 hectares. It includes meadows, wooded areas, and the riverbanks. The Anguison River flows through the property and feeds the mill race, maintaining a direct link to the mill's original operation. THE MECHANISM ROOM In the guesthouse area, the large dining room?designed for receptions and events?is equipped with a professional kitchen and also houses the mill's machinery, which is visible and integrated into the dining space. The machinery remains in place, its operation clearly visible, and directly connects the property's current use to its history. A separate kitchen allows for optimal organization and is currently used for family gatherings. Some rooms are already suitable for extended stays, while others require targeted renovations to ensure the site's long-term sustainability. Outside, a south-facing terrace provides a setting for meals. The swimming pool, situated at a distance above the millrace, creates a second relaxation area used during the season. The possibility of restoring the hydraulic system, meanwhile, ensures tangible continuity. LIVING AND EVOLVING The house features nine rooms, including six bedrooms spread across four levels, allowing it to accommodate several people and maintain the guesthouse operation already in place. Three bathrooms complement this layout. The outbuildings, opposite the house?a former grain loft and a barn?expand the property's capacity. The property, spanning over two hectares, stretches across open areas, riverbanks, and forest edges, offering practical activities such as river fishing, hiking, or outings around Lake Settons. Access to the A6 highway in fifty minutes and the Montbard TGV station in one hour allows for a balance between staying on-site and traveling. AGENCY OPINION This mill in the Morvan is ideal for a buyer who wants to build upon an existing property to develop it over time. The existing machinery, the active millstream, and the current use as a guesthouse provide a solid foundation. The identified improvements support a clear path forward. Condominiums of 1 units (No proceedings in progress). Annual expenses : 4500 euros.
