A restored 18th-century mill, outbuildings and 2 5 ha of grounds 30 minutes from Tours in the Centre-Val de Loire region. Flanked by majestic tuffeau pillars, a tall wrought-iron gate opens onto a vast gravel courtyard. First the two adjoining mill buildings come into view, with their stone masonry facades, completely renovated and rendered. The four-pitched roofs of one of the two buildings are of slate, the other of flat tiles; the roof of the dwelling has shed dormers with triangular pediments.
Built in the 18th century, the estate is depicted on the Cassini map. The two main sections of the dwelling have two storeys beneath the roofspace, the main elevations face south-east and all the openings have dressed tuffeau limestone surrounds.
The single-storey outbuildings, with their slate and flat tile roofs, are set around a courtyard that, together with the mill, forms a U-shape. From the courtyard, there are several entrances to the house.
The well-tended landscaped grounds all face the mill. A large paved terrace runs along the edge of the buildings, providing access to the garden and the lake it overlooks. A reach and its reservoir border the property to the west, before the water feeds a wheel and runs through the park.
