Property details

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.
