Haute Vienne - Truly Magical and Incredible Mill Completly Isolated Set on 7.5 Hectares of Attached Land

Property Description

Have you ever dreamt of owning a truly magical property, the kind that seems to exist only in fairy tales? In the heart of the Haute-Vienne countryside, close to the historic town of Châteauponsac, lies an extraordinary estate that could be the dream come true.
Set within its own private valley, this former 1648 paper mill rests on 7.5 hectares of lush, rolling land. With more than 500 m² of living space, it offers both grandeur and character, making it as suited to a graceful country retreat as it is to an enchanting venue for weddings and events. Its river frontage, dramatic cliffs, and unspoiled natural surroundings create a setting that is nothing short of breathtaking, while the surrounding countryside provides superb walks, excellent fishing, and a deep sense of peace and tranquillity.
The main residence has been lovingly transformed from its historic origins, seamlessly blending 17th-century charm with modern comfort. A sweeping entrance hall leads to a fully fitted kitchen, a formal dining room, and a light-filled lounge where a grand stone fireplace opens directly onto the walled garden and swimming pool. There is also a study, a large bar-lounge, and a games room that flows out onto a 125 m² terrace with captivating river views?the true heart of the property for entertaining and relaxation. Underfloor heating adds contemporary comfort, while original features allow you to imagine the mill in its working days.
Up the hand-carved oak staircase, the first floor reveals nine bedrooms, including a generous parental suite with dressing room and en-suite bathroom, alongside a family bathroom and a cosy cinema room. An additional staircase provides convenient access throughout the house. The second floor, still untouched and steeped in history, retains the original hanging wires once used to dry paper, offering remarkable potential to create more bedrooms or living spaces.
The estate extends far beyond the house, with an array of charming outbuildings: a large stone barn, stables, a garage, a boiler room, a wood store, and a traditional pigeon tower with rabbit hutches. Within the walled garden lies a swimming pool with river views, a sun-drenched BBQ terrace, and a tennis court of exceptional quality. Beyond the garden walls, enchanting riverside paths meander past waterfalls, mill runs, and quaint bridges, offering tranquil spots to pause with a coffee and watch the water flow by. The property even holds the potential for hydroelectric production, a nod to its industrious past.
This is a rare treasure: steeped in history, embraced by nature, and brimming with potential. A place of beauty, tranquillity, and undeniable magic?truly a must-see. (4.00 % fees incl. VAT at the buyer's expense.)
