luxury mills for sale Essonne, France

A mill from 1850, transformed into a 1500 m² pleasure property, its dependencies and its 4 ha park bordered by a river 1 hour from Paris. In front of a body of water, which produces an inverted vision of the building through the play of reflection, stands the mill — today without water rights — whose origins date back to 1512. Undoubtedly modified and rebuilt in the 17th century as evidenced by the L-shaped buildings, the current structure rises opposite a castle that was part of a former larger estate. Rebuilt in the mid-19th century on the site of two former mills, it was restored between 2002 and 2010. Flanked by two single-span pavilions, it has four floors. The main embellishments are represented by the motif of the woods: fixed window frames with radiating diagonal bars in the tympanum of the windows and Saint Andrew's cross railings on the first and fourth floors of the pavilions, as well as intricately worked consoles supporting the roofs of these same pavilions. The remarkable elevation — of four levels — as well as the almost palatial square volume, are as surprising as they are admirable. Its architectural regularity gives it an Italianate look, reminiscent of the noble warehouses that mark Lombardy or Venice. The openings — doors and windows — are topped with semicircular arches with painted brick voussoirs. Carefully arranged with a completely classical rigor, they rhythm each floor with a warm and repeated motif. This is the undeniable signature of the Second Empire style of mill, which is similar to that of other mills in the area and highlights the major architectural character of the time in the region.This description has been automatically translated from French.
