Description

A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional historic mill estate, combining authentic character, impressive proportions and outstanding versatility. Set within over 5 acres of beautiful gardens and grounds leading down to a pretty river in the peaceful Charente countryside.



Offering approximately 490m² of living accommodation, the property is currently arranged into a spacious main family home, a superb Bed and Breakfast unit with wheelchair access, a studio apartment with its own terrace and a delightful 2-bed cottage. In total there are four distinct residences, offering 11 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms/shower rooms, providing remarkable flexibility for both private and commercial use.



Its configuration makes it particularly well-suited to continuing the existing holiday rental and guest-house activity, while also offering numerous possibilities as a substantial family residence, a multi-generational home, a second home with guest accommodation, or a combination of private living and income-generating rentals.



The property retains visible elements of the mill’s original mechanisms, providing an evocative reminder of its history and adding genuine character to this fascinating home.



Outside, over 5 acres of gardens and grounds provide a wonderful sense of space and privacy. Mature gardens, terraces and extensive vegetable plots, with access to the pretty river, all create an attractive setting for outdoor living and entertaining.



There is still plenty of scope to further develop or enhance the property as several substantial outbuildings provide a further 125m² of floor space. Subject to the necessary permissions, this offers exciting potential for conversion into additional guest accommodation, leisure facilities, workshops or retreat spaces.



For buyers looking for an established hospitality venture, the property is already successfully run as rental accommodation and a guesthouse, offering the possibility of continuing an existing business from the outset (the new owner would need to re-register the business). Equally, its unusually flexible layout makes it an appealing choice for those seeking a large country property capable of accommodating family, friends and several generations while retaining the potential for additional rental income.



Despite its peaceful rural setting, the property is conveniently situated in a village just a few kilometres from the lively spa town of Jonzac, with its restaurants, shops, supermarkets, hospital and railway station. Regular train services connect Jonzac with Bordeaux in approximately 40 minutes.



A truly distinctive Charente property where history, generous accommodation, peace and quiet, beautiful riverside grounds and commercial potential come together in an exceptionally versatile and very French country property.

About Beaux Villages Immobilier, Gironde

3 Rue Robert Descorne, 33580 Monségur

Beaux Villages Immobilier specialises in property for sale in southern France. We pride ourselves on treating everyone – whether looking to purchase or sell a property – as an important individual, not a financial opportunity.

We all live and work in southern France and as buyers ourselves, we remember what it was like to take that leap of faith and trust an agent we didn't really know. We go the extra mile to take the stress out of buying a property whether your budget is €100k or €100 million.

France is the top destination of choice for property buyers in Europe. A stable property market, low crime, long life expectancy, low population density, diverse culture and world famous health, education and transport systems are frequently quoted. This has been our own personal happy experience.

Based in southern France, we are the first port of call for thousands of people each year who are looking to buy a home here.

Covering the entire southern half of France from the Atlantic coast across to the Mediterranean and the alps, our patch includes some of the prettiest villages and towns and most beautiful countryside and coast in the whole of France.

The company

Beaux Villages Immobilier was founded at the start of the financial crisis in early 2008 by Lynn Longley. These beginnings, in Monségur, (Gironde) were soon followed by offices in Verteillac and Lalinde (Dordogne). Now we are also well established with teams of property professionals working across the whole of southern France.

Since these early beginnings the team has grown to include several nationalities speaking a dozen languages and incorporating different cultures. Our common denominator is a love of the area that we have chosen to live and work in, and a desire to share that.

Now, post Brexit, we expect to open more offices and cover more areas.
