luxury mills for sale Burgundy, France

Exceptional 19th-century mill, guest rooms, 790 m², 18 rooms, between Auxerre and Dijon: private and professional areas, water rights, established by title; 1.55 hectares crossed by a canal, dam (gates), lawns and park. Comfort, clarity, charm. Significant turnover. Proximity to shops; 2 hours from Paris. In the midst of the Burgundy wine regions, at the edge of a tourist valley, and at the entrance of a charming commune built between two meanders of a river, this imposing building was constructed in the 19th century, possibly replacing the mills of the medieval era, as Guillaume de Nevers donated two mills to the Church in the 12th century. Surrounded by hermitages, vineyards, springs, and woods, the small town was freed in the 14th century. Jaquillat's son built this beautiful building, with a harmonious and powerful facade, and King Louis-Philippe accepted the project by ordinance on September 13, 1845. Today, this mill, full of original antique elements (floors, beams, stairs), offers an area of approximately 1500 m², of which about 790 m² have been tastefully renovated (+ 300 m² of convertible attics) preserving the extraordinary character of a bucolic site. The building, with its typical symmetry of the time, with window openings adorned with Burgundy stone, and a slate roof, surrounded by large hundred-year-old leafy trees, seems cut off from the world; the water flows and sings as it crosses the long shaded lawn, carving out wild banks protecting the flowered park. The south facade, made entirely of exposed stone, reflects in the wide canal forming a basin. Attached dependency of about 60 m² located at the back. Ideal for workshop. Land of 15,566 m². Ideal site for reception, seminars, guest rooms. Significant turnover. Access: 2 hours from Paris; 20 min. A6; 30 min. SNCF station in Auxerre; nearby shops; supermarket 10 min. Activities: Burgundy vineyards (Chablis, Tonnerrois): nine wine designations allowed in the commune. Abbey of Pontigny, medieval village of Noyers-sur-Serein. Equestrian and walking trails.

THE VAUPRANGES MILL IN THE MORVAN In Mhère, at the Vaupranges Mill, a road winds down into the valley floor to a property crossed by the Anguison River. The stone building stands in front of the millrace and retains part of its mechanism, which is visible from the living areas. The house comprises nine rooms, including six bedrooms, spread over four levels, and is currently used as a vacation rental. Some rooms are in daily use, while others still need to be developed. Outbuildings, land, and a swimming pool complete the property. ARRIVAL AT THE VALLEY FLOOR Access follows a road that winds down through the woods to the valley floor. The mill is situated on the edge of the millstream, in an open setting of meadows and forest edges. Built around 1650, its proportions and location place it among the hydraulic structures of the Morvan region. The building has been restored in keeping with its original structure. The woodwork has been refurbished, the doors are made of oak, the floors have been insulated, and the utilities have been updated. The entryway leads to a first living area. The living room, featuring a fireplace, opens onto the landscape and extends into a wooden veranda overlooking the garden. The estate spans 2.18 hectares. It includes meadows, wooded areas, and the riverbanks. The Anguison River flows through the property and feeds the mill race, maintaining a direct link to the mill's original operation. THE MECHANISM ROOM In the guesthouse area, the large dining room?designed for receptions and events?is equipped with a professional kitchen and also houses the mill's machinery, which is visible and integrated into the dining space. The machinery remains in place, its operation clearly visible, and directly connects the property's current use to its history. A separate kitchen allows for optimal organization and is currently used for family gatherings. Some rooms are already suitable for extended stays, while others require targeted renovations to ensure the site's long-term sustainability. Outside, a south-facing terrace provides a setting for meals. The swimming pool, situated at a distance above the millrace, creates a second relaxation area used during the season. The possibility of restoring the hydraulic system, meanwhile, ensures tangible continuity. LIVING AND EVOLVING The house features nine rooms, including six bedrooms spread across four levels, allowing it to accommodate several people and maintain the guesthouse operation already in place. Three bathrooms complement this layout. The outbuildings, opposite the house?a former grain loft and a barn?expand the property's capacity. The property, spanning over two hectares, stretches across open areas, riverbanks, and forest edges, offering practical activities such as river fishing, hiking, or outings around Lake Settons. Access to the A6 highway in fifty minutes and the Montbard TGV station in one hour allows for a balance between staying on-site and traveling. AGENCY OPINION This mill in the Morvan is ideal for a buyer who wants to build upon an existing property to develop it over time. The existing machinery, the active millstream, and the current use as a guesthouse provide a solid foundation. The identified improvements support a clear path forward. Condominiums of 1 units (No proceedings in progress). Annual expenses : 4500 euros.

This tastefully restored former mill oozing with period charm is set in 4 hectares of peaceful and very well-maintained landscaped grounds bordered by the Bourgogne canal and the Armançon River. The ensemble includes a main building set in the middle of the grounds and crossed by the river as well as numerous annexes, many dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries, and some of which were built on the orders of Monsieur de Louvois, a minister under Louis XIV. At the bottom of the grounds an old stone weir over which the river Armançon gently cascades offers a delightful place to swim in the summer months.

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.

A restored 18th-century mill, outbuildings and grounds covering more than 5 hectares, near Flavigny, in the Ozerain Valley, in the Côte-d'Or. Accessible from the village or the county road via two country lanes, the property slopes down towards the Ozerain, whose course dictated the mill’s orientation. The main channel and the lower channel, which are now dry and fed solely by rainwater runoff, display the site’s hydraulic layout. The complex is arranged around a courtyard, flanked on either side by the bread oven and the north-western end of the house, with a wooden gate in the middle. The barn, set at right angles to the stables and the sheepfold, encloses the courtyard below. Extending from the main dwelling, the open, double-vaulted barn connects the house to the dovecote. Beyond the courtyard, the land slopes down towards a strip of meadows and heathland, which stretches along the Ozerain for over 5 hectares. The main building has a total floor area of approximately 260 m², divided into two separate flats. A thorough restoration was carried out using traditional materials and techniques, whilst preserving the authenticity of the building’s layout and original features: reconstructed roof structures and masonry, natural hemp insulation, underfloor heating and double-glazed windows.

In the Ouche valley, 20 minutes from Dijon, A converted mill with a pool and 1.4 ha grounds. Dated '1790' on a dressed-stone block and recorded on the Cassini map, the mill was acquired in 1834 by the Côte-d'Or departmental authority to regulate the water intake for lock 38 of the Canal de Bourgogne. A private buyer acquired it in 1984 as a ruin and rebuilt it entirely between 1986 and 1989, in a contemporary interpretation of rural Burgundian architecture, using the mill's original stones. Two dressed-stone wings on an L-plan, each under a gabled flat-tile roof, form a house of approximately 420 m² of living area; a pavilion-roofed turret marks their junction. To the north, a carriage gate opens onto a courtyard serving two independent entrances and the garages. Beyond the gate, the road disappears behind trees and the sound of water. Open to the south with no overlooking, a covered terrace runs the full length of the facade, leading onto grounds planted with mature trees and edged by the Ouche. To the south-west, the river forks into two arms around a grassed island of 4,630 m², reached by a footbridge. To the north-west, the waterfall — a remnant of the original mill mechanism — fills the site with a permanent murmur. The grounds hold a 12 m × 6 m pool with a shelter roofed in glazed polychrome geometric tiles in the Burgundian tradition, its structure in exposed timber framing, and an open barn of some 60 m² under matching roofing.
