A water mill dating from 1683 and its 7,000 m² of wooded grounds in the Avre valley, 90 km from Paris. Set away from the village, the property is separated into two parts by a bridge spanning the river. A wrought iron gate opens onto a driveway leading down to the mill. The impressive building with its red shutters and adjoining workshop stretches out lengthways, at right angles to the canal and edged by the river. A paved terrace encircles the dwelling as far as the bread oven. Wide wooden steps provide access from the wooded garden down to the riverbank. On the other side of the road, the second part of the property has been turned into a delightful water garden. The water outlet is protected by grilles and flows into a canal and from there into the reach. In this way, it bypasses the plot of land and flows into the Avre. At the back of the building, a shed adjoins the lock and its machinery. Meadows and woodlands form the surrounding landscape. Built in the 17th century, the rectilinear mill is three storeys high. It has a floor area of approx. 250 m². The stone and brick structure has a gable roof clad with old flat tiles and skylights. Each facade is punctuated by numerous windows, which are protected by brightly painted wooden shutters. The lintels, corner quoins, window surrounds and stringcourses between the storeys as well as the cornice are all of brick. Situated on the left bank of the sluice lock, the mill allowed the watercourse to flow from one branch of the river to the other. The wheel was located in a covered area that is still visible. Upstream, the lock gates regulate the flow of the river. The entire stonework of the reach has been preserved.
