Authentic watermill with house, outbuildings in 1.5 ha. Charente

A dream project in a charming and enchanting countryside setting, by a small river.

This rare property complex comprises a watermill in need of renovation, a traditional Charentaise house ready to move into, two large barns/stables, and a bread oven.

The surroundings are simply magical, set within 15,362 m² (approximately 3.8 acres) of gardens and meadows, offering a peaceful and preserved natural environment.

This exceptional property lends itself to numerous personal or professional projects: eco-retreat, wedding venue, restaurant business, tourism venture, holiday cottages, bed and breakfast, or equestrian activity.

A unique opportunity to bring an ambitious project to life in an idyllic setting.

Nestled in the Charente countryside, just minutes from a small town with all amenities and a SNCF train station, this unique property sits on the banks of a charming river.

The impressive watermill, approximately 168 m² and arranged over three levels, stands elegantly above the water. It was once dedicated to the production of walnut oil and walnut flour. The original wheels and other period features remain in place, offering authentic character and tremendous renovation potential to create exhibition spaces, a restaurant, holiday cottages, or guest rooms.

The main house, located opposite the mill, has been renovated and is ready to move into, with only a few finishing touches required.
The entrance hall of approximately 10 m², with its contemporary flooring, welcomes you into a bright and inviting home.
To the right, a 22 m² living room featuring a fireplace with a large wood-burning stove, exposed stone walls, and two large windows.
To the left, a beautiful modern kitchen, fully fitted and equipped.
To the rear, a practical utility/laundry room remains to be completed.

An original staircase leads to the first floor, where you will find three attractive bedrooms

Recent works include: a light-enhancing aluminium front door, PVC double-glazed windows, updated electrical system, roof insulation redone, and a new drainage system.

The outbuildings are arranged around the courtyard. Attached to the mill is a large barn/stable of approximately 200 m², ideal for conversion or storage. The timber framework is remarkable and, following roof revision, would be perfect for creating additional accommodation.
The former pig sheds and the bread oven await thoughtful restoration to bring them back to life.
A second large barn of approximately 200 m² offers an ideal venue for weddings, conferences, or receptions.

This is truly a little paradise — a peaceful haven with the gentle sound of the stream flowing beneath the mill and birdsong in the surrounding woodland. A sublime setting to bring your dreams to life and build your new future.
