A 17th-century watermill with 2 9 hectares of grounds and a lake, nestled by a village in France’s beautiful Touraine province. Two rubble-stone pillars flank a wrought-iron gate. This entrance gate opens into a vast, gently sloping lawn. A driveway takes you down to the back of the main building and a parking area. Your gaze is first drawn to the watermill: a long edifice with rendered stone walls, a roof of flat tiles punctuated with wall dormers, and a square tower crowned with a pyramidal roof. The watermill was built in the first half of the 17th century and extended in the 20th century. It appears on the Cassini map – the first detailed map of the entire kingdom of France, produced in the 18th century. The building has three sections. First, there is its long main section, which is the oldest part. This section has two floors: a ground floor and a top floor in its roof space. Second, there is a tower, which has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in its roof space. Last, there is a third, single-storey section. All the windows have timber lintels. You reach the house’s two entrance doors at two different places via footbridges that cross a millrace. The watermill looks out at its grounds, which are filled with many trees. A large terrace in front of the building leads to a swimming pool and a garden. Beyond them, there is a vast lake. You can take strolls on grassy expanses all the way around this lake. A stream flows alongside the lake before splitting into two. One branch is natural and flows through the grounds. The other branch, which becomes the millrace, flows behind the watermill to turn the old waterwheel.

A fortified watermill with a 12th-century tower, nestled in the River Tolzac valley in France’s Lot-et-Garonne department. From the road, the edifice’s gable end can be seen emerging ever so slightly from the thick vegetation around it. But to properly admire the architecture of this beautiful watermill, its medieval tower and its adjoining annexe, you have to leave the road, drive along a river with a strip of lawn on your other side, then park in a gravelled space. At first glance, you see an intriguing mix of structures made of pointed rubble stone and brick with many windows, beneath roofs of monk-and-nun tiling. The river flows through two stone arches that support the watermill from underneath. Behind, a square tower crowned with a pyramidal roof of flat tiles overlooks the whole complex. Lawns surround the buildings and edge the steep-banked river. At the back, an iron footbridge crosses the stream and leads to a meadow that stretches north-west beyond leafy trees. Further upstream on the grounds, two brooks join to form one, flow in a loop, and turn the water wheel. On the other side, in front of a grove, a swimming pool lies beside the annexe. A few metres from there, a garden shed stands near a vegetable patch. The property covers over 1.2 hectares in total.

An old watermill to be restored with a two-hectare lake, a fishery and three hectares of woods in France’s Charente department, thirty minutes from the town of Angoulême. From the secondary road through the hamlet, a tarmac lane leads east and quickly takes you to the watermill, edged with water on its north side. Beyond it, a stream flows from north to south across the property, between the house and a lake surrounded by dense woods. A small island in the middle of the lake becomes a peninsula when the water is at its lowest level in the summer. The enclosed lake can be supplied with water from the north. On the south side, a sluice gate leads to a fishery where fish can be caught by draining the lake.

A spacious family residence with swimming pool and mill set in 9 ha of meadows and woods in the Orge valley, 1 hour from Paris. Situated on the banks of the River Orge, the unoverlooked property is accessed via a small road only used by local residents. At the front, the first gate opens onto a vast gravel area with parking space for several vehicles. A cobblestone path leads to the building's main entrance. Originally part of an old farmhouse, it has been sympathetically restored. A little further on, behind the residence, the impressive silhouette of the mill can be made out, now devoid of its paddle wheel, which was once powered by the River Orge. Vast and partly inhabited, it still offers considerable potential for development. At the end of the cul-de-sac, a second gate in line with the mill serves the property from the rear.

A historical property and events venue that includes an old watermill, nestled in a bucolic landscape, two hours south-east of Paris. A hard-surfaced lane surrounded by a millrace and meadows leads to a central court around which three fine constructions stand: a watermill, a miller’s house and a recently built barn. The river runs across the whole property, beneath willows, alders and ashes that grow here and there. Secondary branches of the river provide water for a series of pools. The mill enjoys the right to use the river water. A pond further underlines the strong presence of water on this eight-hectare property mainly made up of meadows.
