A spacious family residence with swimming pool and mill set in 9 ha of meadows and woods in the Orge valley, 1 hour from Paris. Situated on the banks of the River Orge, the unoverlooked property is accessed via a small road only used by local residents. At the front, the first gate opens onto a vast gravel area with parking space for several vehicles. A cobblestone path leads to the building's main entrance. Originally part of an old farmhouse, it has been sympathetically restored. A little further on, behind the residence, the impressive silhouette of the mill can be made out, now devoid of its paddle wheel, which was once powered by the River Orge. Vast and partly inhabited, it still offers considerable potential for development. At the end of the cul-de-sac, a second gate in line with the mill serves the property from the rear.

A 16th and 17th century former mill, surrounded by 6 hectares of meadows, in the Puisaye region, 2 hours from Paris. A double entrance gate opens onto a large lawned area dotted with some ten tall trees, and a gravel parking area. The complex comprises several adjoining buildings facing the main structure, the mill. The mill faces north-south, while the outbuildings face south and west. A pedestrian entrance provides access to the premises, protected by a canopy of local tiles. The mill stands in the middle of the reach. The wheel with a diameter of around 4m abuts the building. A small wooden bridge crosses the river. There is a spring close to the mill, from which blue water gushes into the headrace. The residence overlooks a number of authentic features, including a well built of local Puisaye brick, which can still be used and is between 3 and 6 metres deep. The presence of alluvial groundwater, which is always cool, means that a water-to-water heat pump could be installed. A number of outbuildings, each topped with an old country-style roof, complete the complex: a barn, a traditional oven, an old sheepfold and a large workshop for drying wood. Finally, at the back of the house, there is a vast hangar hidden behind a hedge. A dedicated gate provides access to this hangar for the estate's farm vehicles and also links via the ford over the millstream to the meadows.
