A Remarkable 16th-Century Mill, 370 m², with a Guest House, Near Saintes

Property Description

From the very first glance, its charm is undeniable. The estate comprises two separate buildings:

An authentic three-storey mill offering approximately 260 sq m of living space, featuring a spectacular cathedral-style reception room with a magnificent château fireplace, a dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, a riverside conservatory, a study, and four bedrooms, including a ground-floor principal suite.

An independent 112 sq m guest house, ideal for welcoming family and friends in complete comfort.

There is a particular sense of serenity here: the gentle murmur of the river, the peaceful sight of swans and ducks gliding across the water, and the ever-present nature that invites you to slow down. A property imbued with tranquillity, yet steeped in a rich history, with every stone seeming to hold a memory — and inviting you to uncover its secrets.

Set within 2,250 sq m of beautifully landscaped grounds bordered by the river, the property also boasts a large swimming pool with its pool house, a private island home to a beehive maintained by a local beekeeper, a garage and a workshop. A haven for local wildlife, it offers exceptional tranquillity and the opportunity to enjoy nature in its purest form.

Accommodating up to twelve guests, this historic property also offers outstanding potential for family gatherings, corporate seminars, private receptions or exclusive events.

Ideally located just 5 minutes from local amenities, 10 minutes from Pons, 20 minutes from Saintes and Cognac, and 45 minutes from the beaches of Royan, this exceptional estate perfectly combines heritage, authenticity, unspoilt nature and the French art of living.

A truly private and inspiring retreat, as rare as it is restorative.
