In the scenic Vienne region, in the centre of grounds crossed by a river, a traditional farmhouse with full French ownership rights and two guest houses . The property can be accessed via two entrances, the first providing direct access to the grounds and the second to the farmhouse via a courtyard, where a covered area has been created with space for two cars. A caretaker's cottage is located a few meters from the main entrance. The stone farmhouse has a flat-tiled roof. Its two facades are dotted with windows, some with French windows, which are echoes of each another. In the grounds, a first guest house can be accessed via the garden gate and by going past the front of the farmhouse, which is just a few metres away. Built of exposed stone with a tiled roof like the farmhouse, it faces the mill and a reservoir formed by the water from the millstream. The mill, set opposite these first two dwellings is the focal point of the whole complex. The mill's history can be traced back to the 17th century, when its dykes were built. Destroyed by a fire in 1790, it was rebuilt in 1800 and still has water rights to this day. Its drop height is around 1.8 m. It should be noted that all the dykes have been bricked up and raised to protect the buildings from possible winter flooding. Finally, a second guest house has been built on the first island and is linked to the shore by a small bridge and accessed by a stone staircase. Another bridge leads to a second, even larger island.

An old watermill to be restored with a two-hectare lake, a fishery and three hectares of woods in France’s Charente department, thirty minutes from the town of Angoulême. From the secondary road through the hamlet, a tarmac lane leads east and quickly takes you to the watermill, edged with water on its north side. Beyond it, a stream flows from north to south across the property, between the house and a lake surrounded by dense woods. A small island in the middle of the lake becomes a peninsula when the water is at its lowest level in the summer. The enclosed lake can be supplied with water from the north. On the south side, a sluice gate leads to a fishery where fish can be caught by draining the lake.
