luxury mills for sale Creuse, France

A water mill with two houses and a former restaurant, awaiting renovation, at the limits of the Creuse, Haute-Vienne and the Monts d’Ambazac hills. Small country roads wind through the wooded hills and meadows up to the mill, which can be found behind thick foliage. The stream running below has carved out its bed through the surrounding relief and a mill race supplies the still visible wheel with water from the lake almost 500 metres away. The various buildings, which are built lengthwise and are joined together, are made of two separate dwellings, namely a former restaurant with professional grade kitchen and the old mill itself, which still has all the old mill workings. The different adjoining and non-adjoining plots of meadows, coppices and woodlands as well as the lake amount to almost 11 hectares.

Built in the early 19th century, this mill was first used as a carding and spinning facility. It was later converted into a residence and renovated between 2008 and 2012.
