Description

A16294 -
Nestled in the picturesque Mayenne countryside, this exceptional converted flour mill presents a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving and well-established business together with separate owner’s accommodation. Offering extensive, light-filled living spaces, the property combines character, comfort, and versatility, making it ideal for holiday rentals, retreats, conferences, group gatherings, or family celebrations.

The mill has been thoughtfully divided into two independent gîtes, although they are frequently rented together to accommodate larger groups and events.

## Gîte 1

The property opens into a spacious entrance hall and lounge (41 m²) with wooden flooring and views across the surrounding countryside. A second lounge/snug (21.5 m²) provides a cosy additional seating area with built-in storage cupboards.

At the heart of the property is the impressive kitchen and dining room (89 m²), designed to seat up to 24 guests. The fully fitted kitchen features a built-in oven, Rayburn cooker, generous storage, and elegant marble worktops. A door from the kitchen opens onto a balcony overlooking the beautiful countryside. Adjacent to the kitchen is a large utility room with additional storage and plumbing for washing machines and dryers. A separate WC completes the ground floor.

On the first floor is a communal seating area (41 m²) where guests can relax. The five luxury suites, arranged over two floors, range from 33 m² to 60.5 m². Each suite has been tastefully decorated and benefits from its own lounge area, television, dressing space, and private en-suite bathroom. High ceilings, dual-aspect windows, freestanding baths, and high-quality bathroom fittings create an atmosphere of comfort and luxury throughout.

Also within this gîte is a substantial multi-purpose room (94.7 m²), ideal for use as a yoga studio, conference room, or meeting space, together with a games room (59 m²), perfect for entertaining guests of all ages.

Character features such as exposed beams, an oak staircase, large windows, and high ceilings add charm and authenticity throughout the property. Outside, there are gardens to both the front and rear, including a pétanque pitch and terrace areas.

## Gîte 2

Occupying another section of the original mill, this gîte comprises an entrance hall (11.8 m²) with exposed stone walls leading into a spacious kitchen and dining room (27.5 m²) with central island and ample storage.

A WC is located off the entrance hall. The lounge/dining room (34.6 m²) features a central fireplace with wood-burning stove and provides generous space for family dining and relaxation.

There are five bright and spacious en-suite bedrooms ranging from 12.6 m² to 30 m². A charming enclosed garden provides an attractive outdoor space for guests.

## Gîte 3 – Owner’s Cottage

Currently used as the owner’s accommodation, this attractive granite cottage with sunny terrace could equally provide an additional rental opportunity.

The cottage comprises an entrance hall leading to a fully fitted kitchen (8.2 m²) with integrated modern appliances. The cosy sitting room (14.8 m²) features a wood-burning stove and double doors opening onto the terrace. There are two bright double bedrooms (16.6 m² and 11.8 m²), together with a shower room and separate WC.

## Leisure Complex

The newly built leisure complex includes:

* Fully equipped gym (58 m²)
* Shower and changing facilities with two WCs (30.2 m²)
* Boiler room
* Indoor heated swimming pool measuring 12m x 4m with a depth of 1.3m

## Additional Features

* Multiple storage rooms
* Four garages
* Private parking for numerous vehicles
* Solar panels
* Electric vehicle charging point

Each gîte can be rented individually or together, with Gîte 1 generating approximately £600 per night and the Gite 2 achieving £500 per night.

Located just minutes from a popular village with bakery and restaurants, approximately one hour from the coast and under two hours from the nearest ferry port, the property also benefits from easy access to the TGV line, placing Paris within less than an hour.

Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality, scale, and business potential of this unique property.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
