Former mill with charming houses and outbuildings

EXCLUSIVE TO ESPACES ATYPIQUES.

Located near Surgères with its TGV station, and just 35 minutes from La Rochelle, this characterful property unfolds its charms across nearly 1.2 hectares. This former watermill, reinvented as a peaceful family estate, offers approximately 450 sqm of living space spread across two separate dwellings, providing an ideal layout for multigenerational living or a bed and breakfast business. Its numerous outbuildings add significant potential for further development. The main house, approximately 293 sqm, captivates with its preserved authenticity.

The entrance, a true link between past and present, masterfully displays the mill’s original workings. Life revolves around a spacious, open-plan living room where exposed beams and fireplaces complement a kitchen opening onto the garden. The ground floor also includes a bathroom, a pantry, and a boiler room.

The first floor, accessible via a wide landing, comprises five generously sized bedrooms, including two master suites, and a bathroom. Three attics offer considerable potential for expansion, adding approximately 100 square meters of living space.

The second building, measuring nearly 163 square meters, has recently been renovated, and the future owners will need to choose the interior fittings (kitchen units, bathroom, and bedroom flooring). This house offers a bedroom on the ground floor, a living room, and a dining area suitable for an open-plan kitchen. A bathroom completes this level. Three additional comfortable bedrooms are located on the first floor.

This house is ideal as a guest house or a luxury holiday rental. The grounds are a true ode to nature, with meadows bordering the stream that once powered the mill. A secure, enclosed swimming pool area offers a soothing panorama in the heart of a verdant setting, perfect for moments of pure relaxation.

The outbuildings are equally impressive: a stone barn of approximately 150 sq m, a second stone barn of nearly 70 sq m converted into a garage, and a spacious, recently built shed of approximately 285 sq m complete the property, allowing for a wide range of projects, including keeping animals. This unique property offers a rare opportunity to combine heritage, nature, and wide open spaces near the ocean. Photos and further information are available after a phone call.
