Mill Nevers (58)

In Burgundy, in a Natura 2000 environment, on 6.5 hectares of land, an 18th-century mansion, a 19th-century farmhouse, outbuildings, and a swimming pool. Once the first white gate adorned with scrolls is passed, and then a second, at the end of a driveway lined with trees and a stone bridge spanning the river, the mansion and various buildings are revealed. The façades, pierced with straight or pointed arches, are made of jointed rubble stones, with dressed stone around the openings and corner chains. The roofs, either gabled or hipped, are mostly covered with flat tiles. A gravel path runs alongside a stretch of tree-lined lawn enhanced with clipped yew, and then moves away towards part of the park planted with numerous trees, incorporating an orchard, a vegetable garden, and a garden located slightly lower down. A 9 m x 4 m swimming pool is hidden from view by the vegetation, next to a wooden café with an open porch. The façades of the main house, divided into several sections, are pierced with mostly mullioned windows and exhibit a modest decoration. A tower houses the main vestibule and a staircase, while an extension with a slate roof serves as a technical room for the pool. At the corner of the mansion, the farmhouse, built according to a rectangular plan, is pierced with multiple openings and extended by a terrace on each side, as well as a shed at one end. A petanque court sheltered by a row of trees is also present. An outbuilding, with an area of 247 m², includes a dwelling to renovate at one end. A tack room is located next to the stables, which include four boxes covering an area of about 63 m². Following are a woodshed, a porch, and then a garage with sliding wooden doors, covering an area of 46 m², intended for storing agricultural equipment and vehicles. It also serves as a hayloft in its upper part. All buildings benefit from a view extending far over the park, meadow, and surrounding woods.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Mill Decize (58)

A unique, 18th-century mill, with a fully restored house, outbuildings, more than 55 hectares of grounds and a 16-hectare fishing lake, in the countryside of the former Nivernais province. The property stretches over 55 hectares on either side of a vast, approximately 16-hectare lake through which flows the River Cressonne. This water mirror forms the natural crossroads of the estate, around which the different buildings are set. A drive winds through the grounds up to a two-storey, fully restored manor house with a cellar. The limewash rendered façades are dotted with regularly shaped windows on either side of an elegant south facing entrance that can be reached via a central, double-flighted set of stone steps. To the north, the main entrance onto the garden level stands opposite the former pigsty, a witness to the estate’s rural past. The edifice is topped by a sober, dark, slate roof. A former barn stands slightly set back to the northwest. The mill building stands below the house, to the south. Its red brick façades reflect in the water of the lake on whose shores it stands. It was constructed as a grain mill and previously figured among the Nièvre area’s many water-powered buildings, whose activity was gradually abandoned with the rise of industrialisation. Its distinctive feature is its roof frame like an upturned ship’s hull. The structure is made up of light pieces of flat wood assembled using an ingenious wedge system and did not require the use of large lifting machines. It is covered with small, flat terracotta tiles that are typical of the region. This type of roof frame, known in France as a ‘Philibert Delorme’ roof frame after the architect whose technique became widespread in the 16th century, is directly inspired by the shape of a ship’s hull and enabled the entirety of the attic space to be used for storage of commodities. The waterwheel is no longer in place but it is still possible to see the tailrace and the where the water previously passed.
