Exceptional 18th-century mill in the heart of a natural setting

West of Tours, just an hour from Paris by TGV, this 18th-century mill sits elegantly within a rare natural setting, in the immediate vicinity of the Loire Valley châteaux. Nestled within a park of approximately two hectares, bordered by a tributary of the Loire, the property benefits from a preserved, verdant environment, part of which is classified as a Natura 2000 site.

The gentle murmur of the water accompanies the grounds, lending the whole a peaceful, almost timeless atmosphere. Around the mill, numerous spaces have been carefully landscaped: a terrace opening onto nature, a swimming pool with a pool house, a vegetable garden, lawns, and a pétanque court; all designed to fully enjoy the outdoors, offering both conviviality and contemplation. Offering approximately 479 sqm of living space spread over four levels, the mill showcases typical Touraine architecture, characterized by an imposing garden façade and two wings extending from it, creating an intimate courtyard with parking for four to five vehicles and a covered garage. This layout effectively preserves the tranquility and privacy of the property. The generous and light-filled interior spaces include spacious reception rooms and seven bedrooms, with the potential to create up to ten. On the ground floor, the entrance opens onto a double living room with windows on both sides, incorporating a large kitchen and dining room, which extend into a veranda used as a winter garden. A double-height winter lounge with an antique fireplace connects to a mezzanine housing a lounge and playroom. An office leads to a separate wing, ideal for a gîte (holiday rental), comprising a living room, open-plan kitchen, and two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. The first floor is dedicated to a master suite with a bathroom and a large dressing room, directly connected to the mezzanine. The second floor offers three large bedrooms, each with its own shower room and ample storage. The third floor provides a seventh bedroom as well as a huge playroom or dormitory, suggesting numerous layout possibilities. Outside, several storage areas complete the property, including a converted cellar.

This rare property offers many possibilities: reorganizing the living spaces, creating additional bedrooms, continuing or expanding the existing bed and breakfast business, developing a permaculture project, planting, or keeping animals. A unique and inspiring place, ideal for nature lovers seeking tranquility, a large family, or a lifestyle project combining living and working, just a few minutes from Tours.
