Centre, Loir-et-Cher, Montoire-sur-le-Loir, France

Wonderful opportunity to acquire a beautiful 5 bedroom riverside house and a water mill set in 3.5 acres of glorious land, while enjoying scenic views from its location in Montoire sur le Loir.

This modernised home with an original period watermill sits on the edge of the town with excellent access to all the amenities you need a short bike ride away.

Downstream in 20 minutes from Vendome with its direct TGV access to Paris in circa 45 minutes. A private location without being isolated.

The current owners have improved the main house with a sizeable ground floor extension (possibility to extend above) offering a large entrance hall, parquet flooring and triple skylights, a laundry room and wc.

The main living room is a 27m2 double aspect with fitted wood burner in the original fireplace and double doors to the garden as well as stairs to the upper floor. Just off this room is the kitchen of 8m2, also double aspect with direct access to the terrace. At the foot of the stairs is the family bathroom. The corridor ends with a useable office space before entering the master bedroom of 13m2 room, with double patio doors to the pool terrace and a private shower room.

On the first floor are two double bedrooms both with parquet flooring. One of 10m2 with a 6m2 walk in wardrobe and the other, 16m2 with a marble fireplace and balcony overlooking the garden. These bedrooms share a wc and there's also an office space of 8m2.

As well as the main house the property includes a 16c mill building. Built right next to the river this two storey building appears to be in structural good condition with many original elements in place. The ground floor room of 64m2 has a large feature fireplace as well as openings on all four sides and a 2.5m high beamed ceiling.

The stairs lead to the second floor where there are 2 rooms of 12m2 and 16m2, one with an impressive arched glazed wall overlooking the river, terrace and pool area, and a landing area with shower room. This building has been partially restored/converted and would make an ideal second house for perhaps family and/or paying guests. Note the mill has no water wheel and no "water rights" to create one.

The garage is 80m2 and is near to the road. It provides parking space for a car, lawn tractor and gardening equipment.

The property extends over 3 acres and comprises a large grass area with gated access to an entrance drive next to the road. A metal bridge leads to the first island where the house and mill are located. A second bridge leads to the second island, with wooded area along with open grassland.

Finally, a larger bridge leads to the furthest island in the middle of the river. Walking around this property is a real pleasure with something to see at every instant. The multitude of wildlife that such a setting naturally has is impressive, and whether fishing is your passion or not one can easily spend many hours alongside the river.

Included in the sale is also another plot of land measuring 2,950m2 less than 1km away.
