luxury mills for sale Sarthe, France

A restored 19th-century mill, with more than eight hectares of meadows and two ponds, not far from La Ferté-Bernard, in the Perche region. From the valley, a small lane winds its way to the property, set back from the road and accessible via an entry gate with a code lock, while the latter opens on to a lane lined with plane trees that leads to an initial enclosure marked by brick pillars, which in turn gives on to a landscaped walled garden in front of the mill. Featuring a parking space concealed by hedges, hidden behind the vegetation, a newly built bridge traverses the private arm of the river and leads to a large grassy island planted with poplars, whereas, in the back, meadows dotted with trees and crisscrossed by several streams, lead to a second bridge, followed by two ponds. Recently renovated, the dwelling boasts plaster-coated exteriors highlighted with a tuffeau stone cornice, quoins and window/door surrounds, while its three storeys, topped with a converted attic level, are cadenced by six vertical rows of windows. As for the tall slate roof, it is punctuated by skylights, whereas, abutting the main dwelling and facing west, a two-storey perpendicular wing has been turned into a guesthouse or holiday accommodations. With spacious living areas on the ground floor, twelve bedrooms and nearly as many shower rooms with lavatories spread throughout the various levels, the dwelling also includes a new home cinema as well as an attic room, of more than 100 m², equipped with hi-fi and video installations.

While the establishment of the mill is very old, the current buildings date from the first half of the 19th century. An exclusive fishing right is attached to the property. The entrance is marked by a wooden gate painted white that opens onto a paved courtyard, with the living quarters on one side and, on the other, a garden and a swimming pool. A footbridge over the canal leads to the sluice gates. Renovated, the mill consists of two buildings.The main wing, square in shape, has two stories. The facades are coated in exposed stone and pierced with openings, some of which are semi-circular with brick frames. An open loggia to the west overlooks the courtyard and the river. The gabled roof of tiles is topped with two gable windows. Another wing, rectangular in shape, is built on a single level and is distinguished by its slate roof.This description has been automatically translated from French.
