Renovated sixties house with private river, spring and waterfalls

The history of this charming red brick house, dating from the 1960s, nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac in a nest of greenery, is most original.
Indeed, the place is known to the elders of the commune of Montivilliers as the Chutes de Tabarca!
This name dates back to the beginning of the last century when this spot was home to one of the several watermills punctuating the Lézarde, a local river flowing into the Seine estuary.
Over time, it lost its economic role and deteriorated significantly, until it was replaced, in the 1960s, by a modern house in symbiosis with nature, the river, and its famous waterfalls. Facing due south on a 1,423 m² plot, including two small islands of 330 and 105 m², its facade is exposed to the sun’s rays subtly filtered by a majestic cedar tree planted in the heart of a splendid garden.

The automatic gate provides access to a spacious two-car garage of approximately 60 m² with a motorized door, opening directly into the house.

The main entrance is through a lovely loggia overlooking the river, punctuated by the natural sound of running water.
The large 26 m² entrance hall is extended by a wide and comfortable stone staircase leading to the main living areas.
The 48 m² living room, with its generously glazed walls, opens onto a long balcony offering superb views of this exceptional environment, through which the river flows.
Right next door, the brand new fitted and equipped kitchen is both discreet and functional. The landing then leads to a beautiful bedroom of approximately 15 m², near an attractive, newly renovated shower room.
The hallway ends with a 9 m² room that can be used as an office or guest bedroom, with the added benefit of direct access to a sunny 25 m² terrace dotted with wisteria.
This level also features a separate toilet and a wooden staircase leading to the second floor under the attic.
Here, three bedrooms cleverly take advantage of the sloping tiled roof and benefit from a large 14 m² shower room with a toilet.

But beyond its interior design, this house, with approximately 190 m² of floor space and 170 m² of living space, stands out with valuable assets in the current context. Indeed, the heat pump provides a type of heating compatible with new ecological requirements, and an exceptional source of drinking water flowing into the ornamental pond provides unlimited water, a real privilege in these times of climate change.
Furthermore, variations in the river’s flow are controlled by nearby natural features (ponds, water distribution areas), avoiding any potential flooding at the house.

Located in a residential area 1 km from the town center of Montivilliers, 15 km from Le Havre and the coast, this property is an excellent compromise for a lifestyle that is both connected to nature and close to urban amenities.

With the recent creation of the splendid La Sente des Rivières park-garden, just a few hundred meters away, this unique location has become a prime spot for daily recharging by the water!
