Exceptional Estate – Historic 16th-Century Mill by the River

Set along the tranquil banks of the Mourachonne river, this remarkable 16th-century mill was transformed in the early 20th century by renowned architect Barry Diercks. Surrounded by nearly three hectares of lush, landscaped gardens, the estate enjoys an idyllic setting just moments from national parks and forested trails. Completely restored from the ground up between 2005 and 2008, the main residence beautifully blends timeless character with modern comforts. Behind its historic façade, the home reveals elegant living spaces filled with natural light, featuring inviting bedrooms, refined lounges, a river-facing kitchen, a study/TV room, and a laundry area. Outdoors, a swimming pool and adjoining pool house create a serene haven for relaxation. Across the river, two charming chalets—built in 2003 and linked to the main property by a picturesque footbridge—offer complete independence and the potential to be expanded into two-bedroom family guest houses, ideal for hosting in privacy. Additional outbuildings scattered across the estate present exciting opportunities for transformation, whether as staff accommodation, guest suites, office space, or a wellness area. The main house itself also offers extension potential, with a double garage, adjoining storage spaces, and a turret ready for development. Rich in history, immersed in nature, and brimming with possibility, this rare property is perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat with easy access to the glamour and amenities of the French Riviera.
