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.
