Enchanting restored water mill with 25 acres of pasture

  • Renovated 3 bed mill house with central heating and double glazing
  • Tranquil setting rich in wildlife but close to market town
  • Ideal equestrian property 10 Ha of level pasture, stables and barns
  • Historic water mill with full workings in place
This historic water mill is listed on the Cassini map and sits in 10 hectares (nearly 25 acres) of attached, level pasture and woodland which has been divided by the current owners into a series of paddocks for their horses. Quietly situated at the end of no-through lane, the property is a haven of tranquility, attracting a wonderful range of wildlife as visitors to the mill stream and pond, including, Herons, Egrets and Kingfishers, yet it is only a few minutes drive from the popular market town of Brioux-sur-Boutonne and an hour from La Rochelle or Cognac.

The water mill itself still houses the original wheel and mill workings and has been sympathetically and tastefully renovated to provide spacious accommodation. The ground floor comprises a huge 43.5m2 kitchen/dining room with impressive stone fireplace housing a wood burner with back boiler for central heating, an elegant salon, again with fireplace and wood burner plus a large utility/store room which connects to the wheelhouse. On the first floor there is a 30m2 master bedroom with exposed room timbers, shower, double sink unit and en-suite WC, plus 2 further good-sized double bedrooms both with ensuite facilities.

As well as workshops and further outbuildings, the property offers significant further potential through renovating a grand merchant house (300m2 of accommodation across 3 floors), that is just waiting to be restored to its former glory (subject to necessary permissions). Attached to the northern end of the merchant house are two large stone barns which have been converted to provide a two storey workshop, 4 stables (including a foaling box) and a secure tack room. Of particular interest to equestrian clients, most of the paddocks are supplied with year-round running water and some have mains electric fencing.

Whether you are looking for an equestrian property, an opportunity to develop a chambre d'hôte, a retreat or other lifestyle business, or you simply want to enjoy your own corner of paradise, this magical property could be just what you are looking for!

Discuss an Offer

If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.

Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.

Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.

To arrange a callback, please email in-confidence@beauxvillages.com
