Historic Millhouse with Guesthouse and Gardens, Set in 4.25 Hectares

Property Description

In the unspoilt peace and quiet of the Loire Valley, this 19th-century mill is an exceptional address, nestled in over four hectares of greenery. Just thirty minutes from Saumur and forty minutes from Angers, this rare property offers complete immersion in nature, with mature woods, open clearings, discreet paths, a crystal-clear stream and a small lake. The setting is both intimate and vast, ideal for relaxation, contemplation or outdoor activities such as horseback riding.

Entirely restored with respect and subtlety, the mill combines historic charm with contemporary comfort. It is now home to several independent dwellings, designed to preserve the privacy of each individual while enabling shared moments. The first house opens onto a bright living room on the second floor, extended by a kitchen installed under a veranda, offering an unobstructed view of the garden. A bedroom completes this level, while an original wooden staircase leads to a spacious guest suite with two double beds, sitting area and en-suite bathroom. An additional bedroom, also comfortable and elegant, occupies the upper floor.

The second house, more rustic in inspiration, hosts a kitchen and living room with fireplace, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere. Upstairs, a bedroom nestled under the roof has its own bathroom and a cosy ambience ideal for relaxing.

On the other side of the garden, an independent guest house borders the stream that runs through the property all year round. This charming little building comprises a living room, bathroom and mezzanine bedroom, all extended by a private veranda and peaceful waterside garden. Together, they form a space perfectly suited to welcoming guests in a peaceful atmosphere.

The estate is set in a single block of flat, easy-to-maintain land, perfectly integrated into its natural surroundings. It lends itself equally well to residential use and to a charming tourism project. Several outbuildings are already present on the property: some have been tastefully restored, others can be transformed as desired - whether as additional gîtes, artists' studios, or spaces dedicated to private or professional events.

What really sets this property apart, beyond the quality of the site and the buildings, is the artistic imprint that emanates from it. Each room has been carefully decorated by an internationally renowned artist, giving the place a singular atmosphere that is at once elegant, poetic and deeply inspiring. Here, aesthetics are in constant dialogue with the landscape, creating a rare balance between nature, culture and comfort.

The geographical location further adds to the appeal. The historic town of Saumur, renowned for its château, Saturday market and wine cellars, is less than half an hour away. Angers, a dynamic cultural capital, is forty-five minutes away, and Paris is only an hour and a half by Tgv. Nantes international airport, also an hour and a half away, opens the property to visitors from all over the world.

This restored mill is much more than a country house. It's an invitation to a life in harmony with nature, to a personal or professional project, in an enchanting setting. The combination of ancient charm, modern comfort and artistic expression makes this a rare place, ready to write a new chapter in the hands of its future owners.
