luxury mills for sale The Loire Area, France

An ancient mid-19th century flour mill in the Erve valley in the Mayenne region. Situated to the west of the village, the mill is accessed via a country road that goes over a small stone bridge. The property is accessed from the north via a gravelled courtyard surrounded by a low stone wall. A large, building facing due south, the mill stands out against the surrounding countryside due to its size and uniform shape. It is built of exposed stone, which is typical of rural houses in the region. On the north side of the mill there is a first garden and a shed used as a wood shed. In front of the mill, a terrace overlooks the millstream on the south side. The wooded meadow valley is accessed via a wooden pontoon.

In a village in the Sarthe department, along the Loir River and on 6,000-m² of grounds, a 19th-century mill, miller’s house and lap pool. At the edge of the village, the property extends over 200 metres along the banks of the Loir River. Once through the entrance gate, a tree-lined driveway winds through the grounds to the back of the property, where, near the river, several dwellings are located. Oriented in a north-south position, the large mill stands four storeys tall. On one side, at a right angle, the miller’s house faces east-west. A lap pool was created along the millrun, between the two buildings. Next to it, an outbuilding known as “the silo” surrounds and protects the swimming pool from wind. Behind this, the grounds, surrounded by nature, continue down to the river’s edge. Rectangular in shape, the mill was constructed out of whitewashed tuffeau stone, with exposed tuffeau stone window and door surrounds, while its gabled roof is covered in interlocking tiles. Abutting the Loir side, a single-storey wooden building with a slate roof, houses the wheel that turns the water in the millrun. Still equipped with its entire mechanism, the ancient flourmill was operational until 1975 and its transmission system and millrun bear witness to the techniques of yesteryear. Transformed and renovated into a home 15 years ago by its former occupants, it has around 535 m² of living space and includes rooms for entertaining, work, leisure activities and five bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms and lavatories. Its construction materials are often left visible, with the walls, floors and staircases in wood, while the exposed beams are made out of wood or metal. The many windows on all the façades, as well as its north-south position provide luminosity all day long.
