Le Moulin isn't your typical property; it's a genuine slice of French countryside living. This charming country home and ancient watermill hold within their walls tales as old as time. If you're enticed by the idea of breathing life into a place rich with history, this could indeed be your next chapter.
Let's dive into what makes Le Moulin such a fascinating opportunity:
Imagine waking up each day to the sounds of nature, water trickling through the nearby streams, and birds calling from the treetops. This property boasts a decorative garden spreading over 1600 m², complete with meditative spots, inviting you to relax and unwind. With multiple terraces, you can host outdoor soirées or simply enjoy a quiet evening watching the sunset. Evenings can be spent by the garden's fire pit, sharing stories under a starlit sky.
Now, imagine stepping inside the property:
The ground floor welcomes you with a charming conservatory perfect for afternoon teas, theres also a cozy living room that beckons to host family gatherings. A summer kitchen provides the perfect space for preparing meals with fresh, local produce after a fun day exploring the vibrant markets of Aubusson, merely 14 km away. The first floor offers a front hall, a living kitchen adjacent to a delightful terrace, a multifunctional bedroom and office, and a private bathroom.
Journeying upwards to the second floor, you’ll find a variety of sleeping arrangements, including two spacious four-person bedrooms, and a well-equipped bathroom with multiple sinks and showers, catering perfectly to larger families or perhaps visitors. Heading to the third floor, the attic space reveals a stunning large room, suitable as a studio or meditating space. Here, you can lose yourself to creativity or calmness.
And let's not forget the crown jewel of this property—the 500-year-old watermill. While largely restored, the mill presents an opportunity for visionaries to transform its storytellin’ aura into something spectacular. The mill stands with history whispering through its workshop, Nanda's studio, and the incomplete apartment yearning for a personal touch.
For those with an eye toward expansion, the third floor of the mill offers the possibility to complete a living room, bathroom, and bedroom—a blank canvas to suit your vision.
