Luxury mills for sale Plourhan, France

A delightful watermill with 1 3 hectares of woods and meadows, fifteen minutes from the sea, near the beautiful Penthiève coastline in northern Brittany. The River Urne is twenty-one kilometres long. Its source is between the towns of Saint-Careuc and Plaintel, in the Lorge forest, and it flows down to Yffiniac cove. This watermill was probably built in the sixteenth century, on the bank of this river in which brown trout swim. The building was gradually reduced to ruins over time. But from 1984 onwards, new owners rose to the challenge of restoring this forgotten edifice full of character: they sought to give the old mill’s soul and purpose back to it. The property is nestled in a valley. You reach it via a cul-de-sac: a small asphalt country lane. There are no neighbours nearby: the mill is surrounded by only woods and meadows.
