Luxury mills for sale Coulanges-lès-Nevers, France

1h30 from Paris, in the Loiret region, on nearly 7 ha of meadows and woodlands, a restored water mill with its 17th century mechanism and a former miller's house. Set back from the village, a gate gives a glimpse of the old miller's house with blue shutters. On one side of the entrance, an outbuilding stands in front of a large terrain with old trees and an orchard. The house is surrounded by lawns. A well defined path leads down to the mill and its outbuildings. Two bridges, one of which overhangs the mill wheel and its reach, are equipped with two guard stones. One is made of stone, the other of wood. The river meanders around the grounds. The fields in the distance are bordered by a forest of mainly oak trees.

A 16th and 17th century former mill, surrounded by 6 hectares of meadows, in the Puisaye region, 2 hours from Paris. A double entrance gate opens onto a large lawned area dotted with some ten tall trees, and a gravel parking area. The complex comprises several adjoining buildings facing the main structure, the mill. The mill faces north-south, while the outbuildings face south and west. A pedestrian entrance provides access to the premises, protected by a canopy of local tiles. The mill stands in the middle of the reach. The wheel with a diameter of around 4m abuts the building. A small wooden bridge crosses the river. There is a spring close to the mill, from which blue water gushes into the headrace. The residence overlooks a number of authentic features, including a well built of local Puisaye brick, which can still be used and is between 3 and 6 metres deep. The presence of alluvial groundwater, which is always cool, means that a water-to-water heat pump could be installed. A number of outbuildings, each topped with an old country-style roof, complete the complex: a barn, a traditional oven, an old sheepfold and a large workshop for drying wood. Finally, at the back of the house, there is a vast hangar hidden behind a hedge. A dedicated gate provides access to this hangar for the estate's farm vehicles and also links via the ford over the millstream to the meadows.
