Description

Dating back to 1635, this unique property invites you to discover the soul of two old mills, witnesses to nearly four centuries of history. Located on the Houmeau estate, these characterful buildings now offer a unique living environment, combining heritage and serenity.



You are welcomed by a large stone entrance hall with travertine flooring, followed by a living room with a period fireplace and, continuing on, a bedroom with an adjoining shower room.

Upstairs, there are two spacious suites with an antechamber and each with its own shower room and bathroom.



The estate, evocatively named “Le Moulin du Bonheur” (The Mill of Happiness), is harmoniously composed of:

- A large mill covering 242 m² on two levels, with generous and bright spaces

- A small mill of 63 m² with intimate volumes

- An orangery of 128 m² with endless possibilities

- A 60 m² cellar for lovers of character



The mill's barrel no longer exists, yet you can still feel the history, with every stone and every beam bearing the memory of time.





The nearly 6,000 m² park envelops you in a rare intimacy. Protected by its ancient walls to the north, its country hedges to the south, and its wooded hill to the east, this property offers tranquility and is only a 15-minute bike ride from downtown La Rochelle.



A swimming pool, witness to happy summers, awaits its rebirth.



This property has a soul. For those who appreciate authentic charm, for those who can see beyond time, these old mills in L'Houmeau offer a rare opportunity to become the guardian of a remarkable heritage.
