luxury mill for sale Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre, France

Ref 4899: Mill for sale in the Vendée, 17 km from Cholet It is a wooded countryside region, made up of gentle hills and small valleys where rural areas, woods and meadows alternate. You reach the mill via a small country road that winds down to the Sèvre Nantaise and ends there. It is a place where one would also like to stop, such is the sense of peace and tranquillity that reigns there. The mill stands along the Sèvre, in the heart of a wide valley. It faces west, overlooking unspoilt countryside and looking directly out onto the river, which can be accessed from its terrace, its islands or its garden. It is the ideal spot to recharge your batteries or, for the more adventurous, to enjoy a range of leisure activities: canoeing, kayaking, hiking, cycling… You can cross the river via the mill’s private embankment or, some fifty metres away, by a chain ferry. There is access all round to an extensive network of walking trails. The mill is situated near Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre, which offers all the local amenities (cafés, bars, restaurants, bakeries, grocery shops, etc.). We are also very close to the vibrant town of Cholet, the main commercial hub of north-eastern Vendée with a catchment area of 100,000 inhabitants. The region is very lively and popular with tourists, featuring festivals, concerts and shows, leisure parks, the Cholet Carnival, the Maulévrier Oriental Park, and the châteaux of Tiffauges and Mortagne-sur-Sèvre… Just ten kilometres away, the Puy du Fou tourist attraction welcomes more than four million visitors a year. At the end of a village lane, you come to a small private forecourt, with a view of the river to the right and the mill’s entrance door directly opposite. On the ground floor: a small hall leads to the large room opposite, to the kitchen on the left and to the start of a staircase on the right. The large hall, measuring approximately 80 m², opens onto the garden to the south and has windows to the west overlooking the river. The room features exposed beams and walls partly constructed of stone and brick. A beautiful old fireplace, with granite columns and lintel, is perfect for cosy fires in the autumn. The site of the former milling mechanism, with its stone surround, has been tastefully converted into a social area. A staircase leads to a mezzanine which could serve as an office or a games room. On the ground floor there is also a shower room, a toilet, a utility room and a storage/workshop area. On the first floor: four bedrooms, one of which has its own private terrace, a shower room and a toilet. The mill stands on a plot of approximately 850 sqm, overlooking the Sèvre valley, which widens at this point.
