luxury mill with reception room for sale Vendome, France

A restored 19th-century mill, with more than eight hectares of meadows and two ponds, not far from La Ferté-Bernard, in the Perche region. From the valley, a small lane winds its way to the property, set back from the road and accessible via an entry gate with a code lock, while the latter opens on to a lane lined with plane trees that leads to an initial enclosure marked by brick pillars, which in turn gives on to a landscaped walled garden in front of the mill. Featuring a parking space concealed by hedges, hidden behind the vegetation, a newly built bridge traverses the private arm of the river and leads to a large grassy island planted with poplars, whereas, in the back, meadows dotted with trees and crisscrossed by several streams, lead to a second bridge, followed by two ponds. Recently renovated, the dwelling boasts plaster-coated exteriors highlighted with a tuffeau stone cornice, quoins and window/door surrounds, while its three storeys, topped with a converted attic level, are cadenced by six vertical rows of windows. As for the tall slate roof, it is punctuated by skylights, whereas, abutting the main dwelling and facing west, a two-storey perpendicular wing has been turned into a guesthouse or holiday accommodations. With spacious living areas on the ground floor, twelve bedrooms and nearly as many shower rooms with lavatories spread throughout the various levels, the dwelling also includes a new home cinema as well as an attic room, of more than 100 m², equipped with hi-fi and video installations.

A mill with full ownership rights, a mill race and mill ponds, in 9.8 hectares of greenery, near to Chenonceau, in the Cher Valley. A tree-lined drive runs past a pond up to a vast courtyard in front of the building. The 700-metre-long mill race runs through the property and underneath the building, though the water wheel and its machinery have been removed. It was purchased in the 18th century by the owners of Château de Chenonceau and was rebuilt in 1810 in the same place as the former mill that featured on Cassini’s famous map. A part of the mill, which ceased milling activity in 1967, is devoted to living space, with approximately 130 m² spread over three storeys. In the other part that measures around 400 m², all the flour milling machinery is still visible: grinders, converters, sieves and sizing rolls are spread over four storeys. A house adjoins the mill and then in turn a garage, while a guest’s house has been created in the dwelling at a right angle to these buildings. To the rear, there is an ornamental garden, a 1.5-hectare pond and woods, which all make up an uninterrupted estate of 6 hectares. Separate plots of meadows and woodland totalling approximately 4 hectares can be found nearby.
