Description
Historic Heritage: Hydro-Power & "Fondé en Titre"
This estate is steeped in history. Built on the site of ancient ironworks (anciennes forges), a watermill was later established here.
The site possesses a legally anchored hydro-power capacity (originally 15.7 kW under historic rights, with historical adaptations reaching up to 80–87 kW via the elevated dam). The installations are currently disused and permits/equipment would need modern updating.
The Main House: Characterful Basis with a New Roof
The main residence offers a generous floor area of approximately 200 m². Crucially, the roof has been completely renewed, providing a sound, dry structure for full internal restoration. The interior requires a complete renovation, yet retains authentic historic features throughout.
Ground Floor: Entering the home reveals a grand, open-plan living space combining the lounge, kitchen, and dining areas, highlighted by a large, classic open fireplace. This level also includes a toilet and direct access into the attached barn area.
First Floor: Upstairs, you will find two spacious bedrooms plus three additional rooms that can be tailored to your requirements,ideal for extra bedrooms, bathrooms, or a home office.
Outbuildings & Grounds
Attached Barn: Connected directly to the house, ideal for expanding the living accommodation or creating an internal workshop/storage space.
Detached Barn: A substantial, separate outbuilding on the grounds offering endless possibilities.
The grounds encompass 33 hectares of varied landscape, including mature woods, watercourses, and green banks surrounding the lake. Electricity is available on-site; the domestic water supply requires restoration.
A Project of Unparalleled Potential
This estate represents a dream opportunity for anyone seeking a large-scale restoration project in one of the region's most serene settings. Whether you envision a grand private sanctuary, an eco-friendly retreat, a rural tourism project, or restoring a historic watermill, the combination of land, a 7.4-hectare private lake, and a solid main building with a new roof provides a truly remarkable canvas.
