luxury mill with terrace for sale Saint-Briac-sur-Mer, France

A 19th-century watermill with a reception hall and five hectares of meadows and woods, nestled inland in Brittany but only 30 minutes from the coast. The former watermill is a stone building that stands in the hollow of a small wooded valley. A stream flows beside it, giving structure to the grounds. You reach the property via a tarmacked country lane that slopes down to the valley. You enter the grounds across a little bridge suitable for motor vehicles. This bridge edged with fencing painted white. Just beyond it, there is a circular driveway for turning back around. First, an outbuilding comes into view. It stands out for its broad, arched, panelled double door, painted blue and set in an ashlar surround. A flight of front steps covered with terracotta tiles with a patina of time leads up to this entrance door, beside which there is an outdoor wall lamp. The main building has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. It is crowned with a slate roof with three hipped dormers. The elevations are built of rubble stone and have plain windows. A stream and traces of a former millrace bear witness to the edifice’s original purpose as a watermill. Around the buildings, there are lawns, shrubs and tall trees, including oaks, beeches and a sequoia. This area leads to meadows and woods. Large parking areas have been created outside too. With its remarkable reception hall, professional kitchen and lavatory, the property used to be rented out as an events venue. Its facilities are ready to be used for special events again or they could be converted, for example to increase the liveable floor area or to build an indoor swimming pool.

This mill only stopped work a little more than ten years ago, a very short time considering its lifespan of 150yrs! It is still equipped with its Francis turbine (40cv). This Mill has water rights, however to bring the turbine back to operation, its restoration work which was initiated, needs completion. The mill has three storeys, in this case the first floor and the attic are each 130 m ².The attic space has a beautiful roof structure. The mill already has planning permission to make these two floors into living spaces, leaving the ground floor for the mill workings. The second building, the miller's house, also needs renovation. There is an additional stone building attached to the mill and a barn next to it. The whole property is situated on one hectare (2.4 acres) land with a meadow. Location: Rural with no overlooking neighbours, on the outskirts of a hamlet with a small road in the vicinity and a railway line (this will shortly only be used as a secondary line as a new railway is beeing built elsewhere). The nearest shops and schools are 10 mins away. (3.03 % fees incl. VAT at the buyer's expense.)
