Old Mill to Renovate with Separate Gîte

Property Description

In the hills above Charmes-sur-Rhône, in the Ardèche region, just 5 minutes from the village, this former mill overlooking the Embroye River offers 220 sq m of living space on a 2,513 sq m plot. This characterful 8-room house, ready for you to finish renovating and refresh to your taste, offers rare potential to create a unique property. The main mill offers over 170 sq m of living space. On the ground floor, a 35 sq m living room sets the tone, complemented by a 34 sq m vaulted dining room, typical of the Ardèche region, opening onto a terrace with access to the garden. This level also includes a partially equipped kitchen, a pantry/laundry room, an office that could be used as a bedroom or playroom, and a bathroom with a sink, shower, and toilet. Upstairs, the sleeping area comprises two large bedrooms, one with a dressing room, and a bathroom with a bathtub and double vanity. Adjoining the mill is a fully renovated and equipped 50 sq m (538 sq ft) self-contained cottage. It can be offered for seasonal or year-round rental, or used as a guest house, office, or for other purposes. The property enjoys a privileged setting, overlooking the trout stream, with views of the waterfall cascading into the small valley. The upper floor opens onto a vast terrace of over 100 sq m (1076 sq ft), nestled in lush greenery. A second terrace, accessible from the vaulted room, leads to the terraced garden. Solar thermal and photovoltaic panels provide additional comfort and income. The gas boiler is operational. Wastewater treatment is provided by a micro-treatment plant. An old mill to be reinvented, an already renovated independent cottage, terraces, a view of the river: this old property brings together many assets to become a rare, atypical and characterful property.
