luxury mill for sale L'Isle-sur-Serein, France

An authentic 19th-century watermill that has been turned into a charming guesthouse, nestled in a quaint village in France’s Yonne department. The property is nestled on the western edge of the village. A white double-leaf gate leads into it. On the right, a gravelled space runs alongside the watermill’s facade. The watermill is a huge rectangular building that faces south. Its large size and uniformity make the edifice stand out. It is made of small white stones that are typical of rural dwellings in the local region. A hipped slate roof crowns the building. To the left, there is a clear view of the arches of a bridge that crosses the River Serein, which flows beneath the watermill in the middle of it. From 1837 onwards, the building had several lives before it was converted into a guesthouse. The elongated edifice runs from east to west. It has four floors and a basement. Its tall, broad facade is punctuated with rectangular windows evenly spaced out and set in surrounds of dressed stone. Two stringcourses, embellished with decorative metal features, demarcate the levels. Many gabled dormers stand along the roof, which is crowned with finials. On the north side of the watermill, there is an outbuilding designed as a workshop and an area of lush land that extends along the millrace. On this rear side there is also a parking area for guests and visitors.

A restored presbytery, a mill, vestiges of a former fortress and converted outbuildings on grounds of nearly 9 hectares, located within an ecovillage. Upon exiting a village, the property is located at the end of a valley, surrounded by several illustrious estates, wooded parcels and pastures. Bordered by the Briare canal – 55 kilometres long – as well as inlets, outer walls and verdant hedges, the contiguous tree-filled property contains nearly 9 hectares. From the road, tall, automated gates open onto a drive that leads to the different buildings, which include a caretaker’s cottage near the entrance, a guesthouse, outbuildings and former stables, while behind the different buildings, gardens with water features provide a bucolic backdrop for the whole. The main dwelling, a former presbytery from the 17th century, stands on a verdant esplanade of approximately one hectare. Rectangular in shape and flanked by a cylindrical corner tower, it has two floors under an attic level. With approximately 300 m² of floor area, the main building is topped with a hipped Mansard roof, while the tower is crowned with a pepperpot turret, the two both covered in antique tiles. In addition, the building’s façades are clad in lime-pointed stone and punctuated with large-paned windows of different shapes and sizes, all safeguarded by louvred shutters, except for its bull’s-eye windows, while its window and door surrounds, excluding those for the gable and hipped dormer windows on the roof, are in brick. Lastly, cornices in ashlar stone for the tower and brick for the main building add the final touches to the façades. The property also includes a mill built in the 19th century and its outbuildings, which are located not far from the waterway that traverses the grounds. The Loing River, rich with abundant aquatic biodiversity, divides a vast pasture in two, while a small peninsula still conceals the vestiges of a former fortress with moats, an outer wall and towers built out of limestone, flint, rubble stone and ashlar stone, which date back to the 13th century.
