Description
A44955SSG87 - Dating back to the 1700s, this magnificent riverside mill is a truly exceptional property, combining history, character and breathtaking natural beauty. Set in an elevated position above the River Gartempe, the estate enjoys spectacular panoramic views across the valley from both the main house and the gîte. The gardens gently descend to the riverbank, providing direct access to the river, which is renowned for its fishing and kayaking, making it a paradise for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
The grand main house is a stunning example of period architecture, featuring beautiful exposed beams, original character features and generous, light-filled living spaces. Carefully renovated and maintained, it offers all the charm of a historic property while providing the comfort and convenience of modern living. Ready to be enjoyed immediately, it is a home that feels both impressive and welcoming.
Despite its peaceful and secluded location, the property is conveniently situated just five minutes from a thriving village with a wide range of everyday amenities.
The grounds are equally appealing, with a variety of fruit and nut trees, berry bushes and a productive vegetable garden, creating a wonderful lifestyle opportunity for those seeking space, tranquillity and a connection to nature.
Main House
Full of character and beautifully presented throughout, the accommodation comprises:
Ground Floor
A grand entrance hall welcomes you into the home and leads to a light-filled, spacious kitchen/dining room. The kitchen is undoubtedly the heart of the house, featuring a pellet burner, a Romeo and Juliet balcony, a large picture window, and double doors opening directly onto the garden.
The generous living room offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, complete with a wood-burning stove, a second dining area, and a comfortable seating space. Also on this level are a versatile playroom (ideal as an office, snug, or hobby room), a utility room, a pantry, and a separate WC.
First Floor
The first floor is arranged over two wings, each accessed by its own staircase.
The guest wing comprises two spacious bedrooms, a bathroom with WC, and an office area.
The principal wing is accessed via a traditional wooden staircase and includes a bright bedroom with an original fireplace, a beautiful master bedroom, a further bedroom, a family bathroom, a shower room, and a hallway providing access to the rear garden.
Second Floor
The upper floor offers three additional large rooms ready for completion. Already benefiting from wooden flooring and double glazing, these spaces provide excellent potential for further accommodation or recreational use.
Gîte Accommodation
Adding further appeal is a successful two-bedroom gîte, also benefiting from spectacular river and valley views from both the living spaces and its generous terrace.
The upper level (on the same level as the main house's ground floor) features an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. Stairs lead down to two bedrooms—a twin room and a spacious principal bedroom—as well as a shower room with WC.
Outbuildings and Additional Accommodation
A standout feature of the property is its extensive collection of outbuildings, offering enormous flexibility and exciting potential for additional accommodation, tourism ventures or hobby projects.
Recently renovated outdoor kitchen
Large hangar with mezzanine level
Two-storey former bread oven building requiring restoration
Workshop
A hangar with games room above and balcony
Four-storey building incorporating the existing gîte on the upper two levels, with two lower floors offering potential for studio apartments, additional guest accommodation, or further gîte development
Riverside hangar
Additional dwelling requiring restoration
Grounds and Features
The attractive grounds extend from the house down to the riverbank, creating a wonderful connection with the surrounding landscape. An above-ground swimming pool, surrounded by practical decking, provides the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the peaceful setting.
Recent improvements include:
Air-source heat pump
New pellet heating system
Solar hot water system
The property is double glazed throughout.
The property is located just five minutes from a well-served village offering a local shop, schools, doctors' surgery, pharmacy, hairdresser, tabac, post office, restaurants, bank and library.
The larger towns of Le Dorat, Bellac and Montmorillon are all within approximately 15–25 minutes, while Limoges and Poitiers airports can be reached in around one hour.
This unique property offers an exceptional combination of history, character, privacy, income potential and future development opportunities. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this remarkable riverside estate has to offer.
