luxury mills for sale Yvelines, France

A mill built between the 13th and 19th centuries, with a holiday cottage and outbuildings with potential to be converted, in the Chevreuse Valley. This former mill standing on the banks of the River Yvette, behind the walls of a tree-filled, more than 3,200-m² garden, can be reached from a quiet street. The property is historically linked to the neighbouring chateau and brings together several constructions erected between the 13th and 19th centuries. Today, it boasts more than 620 m² of living space spread over fifteen rooms and two houses. The main residence, which is a former canon foundry, was built around 1840 for the artillerymen in Versailles. It spreads over approximately 340 m². Its facades possess wide openings onto the garden, courtyard and outbuildings. The four-storey building includes a fast reception room on the ground floor, topped by a half-level on a mezzanine, as well as six bedrooms. Behind the facade covered in Virginia creeper, the old, three-storey, 18th-century miller’s house, which is now a holiday cottage, boasts 240 m² of living space. It contains ten rooms, including six bedrooms, and has a separate entrance. The outbuildings total a surface of more than 300 m²: to the north there are the restored walls of the approximately 80-m² former medieval mill, while to the east there is a vast, almost 230-m² barn. The building has a convertible loft with a surface as large as the barn’s ground floor. The property is completed by the former stables which have been converted into a 30-m² self-contained studio apartment.

Located at the gates of the Rambouillet forest, this former stone mill of the region was built on the edge of a mill site whose existence has been attested since 1160. This place combines authenticity and serenity within a preserved environment. Beyond its history, it is its configuration that appeals: two independent dwellings connected by a tiled atrium, a main house with 8 rooms, and a guest house with 2 rooms, which allow both hosting guests, housing your family in separate spaces, or generating rental income. The main house consists on the ground floor of two large reception rooms, one with a monumental fireplace, an office, a kitchen, and a pantry. Upstairs are five bedrooms arranged in a star shape, one opening onto a terrace, and three bathrooms, while a large insulated attic reveals a beautiful chestnut timber frame in perfect condition. The guest house, for its part, has its own living room, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom, for true autonomy. From one room to another, the character of the place is reflected in each of its carefully preserved period features: monumental fireplaces, old tiles, exposed beams, and excellent condition oak parquet floors. Complementing the property are several dependencies: a vaulted underground wine cellar, a workshop, and a shelter with parking possibilities. The whole is set in a park of more than 4 hectares, fully enclosed and not flood-prone, bordered by the stream and planted with century-old trees and remarkable specimens: sequoias, oaks, acacias, birches, and chestnuts. This park offers a rare and peaceful exceptional setting. It is from this balance that the property's versatility arises, making it valuable: suitable as a primary residence, secondary residence, or for supporting guest rooms. Refreshing works, without major structural work, are to be expected, seen as a real potential for personalization. While the place invites to nature, it is also close to Paris. Several stations serve the area, including Rambouillet station, about ten kilometers away: a direct train connects there to Montparnasse station in about thirty minutes, with departures every quarter of an hour. The capital is also about fifty minutes away by road via the RN10. An opportunity to seize for those seeking space, character, and nature, without giving up proximity to Paris.
