luxury mill with pool for sale Vouvray, France

A 17th-century watermill with 2 9 hectares of grounds and a lake, nestled by a village in France’s beautiful Touraine province. Two rubble-stone pillars flank a wrought-iron gate. This entrance gate opens into a vast, gently sloping lawn. A driveway takes you down to the back of the main building and a parking area. Your gaze is first drawn to the watermill: a long edifice with rendered stone walls, a roof of flat tiles punctuated with wall dormers, and a square tower crowned with a pyramidal roof. The watermill was built in the first half of the 17th century and extended in the 20th century. It appears on the Cassini map – the first detailed map of the entire kingdom of France, produced in the 18th century. The building has three sections. First, there is its long main section, which is the oldest part. This section has two floors: a ground floor and a top floor in its roof space. Second, there is a tower, which has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in its roof space. Last, there is a third, single-storey section. All the windows have timber lintels. You reach the house’s two entrance doors at two different places via footbridges that cross a millrace. The watermill looks out at its grounds, which are filled with many trees. A large terrace in front of the building leads to a swimming pool and a garden. Beyond them, there is a vast lake. You can take strolls on grassy expanses all the way around this lake. A stream flows alongside the lake before splitting into two. One branch is natural and flows through the grounds. The other branch, which becomes the millrace, flows behind the watermill to turn the old waterwheel.

In a village in the Sarthe department, along the Loir River and on 6,000-m² of grounds, a 19th-century mill, miller’s house and lap pool. At the edge of the village, the property extends over 200 metres along the banks of the Loir River. Once through the entrance gate, a tree-lined driveway winds through the grounds to the back of the property, where, near the river, several dwellings are located. Oriented in a north-south position, the large mill stands four storeys tall. On one side, at a right angle, the miller’s house faces east-west. A lap pool was created along the millrun, between the two buildings. Next to it, an outbuilding known as “the silo” surrounds and protects the swimming pool from wind. Behind this, the grounds, surrounded by nature, continue down to the river’s edge. Rectangular in shape, the mill was constructed out of whitewashed tuffeau stone, with exposed tuffeau stone window and door surrounds, while its gabled roof is covered in interlocking tiles. Abutting the Loir side, a single-storey wooden building with a slate roof, houses the wheel that turns the water in the millrun. Still equipped with its entire mechanism, the ancient flourmill was operational until 1975 and its transmission system and millrun bear witness to the techniques of yesteryear. Transformed and renovated into a home 15 years ago by its former occupants, it has around 535 m² of living space and includes rooms for entertaining, work, leisure activities and five bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms and lavatories. Its construction materials are often left visible, with the walls, floors and staircases in wood, while the exposed beams are made out of wood or metal. The many windows on all the façades, as well as its north-south position provide luminosity all day long.
