Historic Millhouse with Guesthouse and Gardens, Set in 4.25 Hectares

Property Description

In the heart of the unspoilt Loire Valley, this remarkable 19th-century mill unfolds across more than four hectares of gardens, woodland and meadows, gracefully shaped by a crystal-clear stream and a tranquil pond. Just thirty minutes from Saumur and forty-five minutes from Angers, the property offers an exceptional sense of serenity, where nature creates a landscape that is both intimate and expansive.

Meticulously restored with a profound respect for its heritage, the mill elegantly combines the charm of historic architecture with contemporary comfort. Designed as a refined private retreat, the estate comprises several independent residences, preserving privacy while encouraging a convivial and welcoming way of life.

The principal residence opens onto a luminous reception room, extended by a kitchen beneath a glass veranda overlooking the gardens. A charming bedroom with en-suite bathroom completes this level. Upstairs, reached by a beautiful original wooden staircase, a generous guest suite offers a sitting area, two double beds and a spacious bathroom. Beneath the exposed roof structure, a third bedroom with its own bathroom enjoys a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

A second house provides a welcoming kitchen, an elegant sitting room with fireplace, and, on the upper floor, a characterful bedroom tucked beneath the eaves with its own private bathroom.

Set beside the flowing stream, an independent guest cottage occupies a particularly enchanting position within the grounds. This charming retreat comprises a sitting room, bathroom, mezzanine bedroom and a private waterside veranda opening onto the garden — an idyllic place to pause and enjoy the surrounding landscape.

The additional outbuildings, some already restored, offer remarkable potential for further development. Whether envisioned as additional guest accommodation, artists’ studios, reception spaces or a boutique hospitality venture, the estate lends itself naturally to a variety of exceptional projects.

Beyond the quality of its architecture and setting, the property is distinguished by its artistic identity. Each interior has been thoughtfully curated by an internationally renowned artist, creating a unique atmosphere in which art, light, materials and landscape exist in perfect dialogue. The result is a residence of rare character, infused with elegance, creativity and a quietly poetic spirit.

The location further enhances the appeal of this exceptional estate. Saumur, celebrated for its château, renowned markets and vineyards, is less than half an hour away. The cultural city of Angers can be reached within forty-five minutes, while Paris is only one and a half hours away by high-speed train. Nantes International Airport, also approximately ninety minutes away, provides excellent access to major European and international destinations.

Rare in its authenticity, restoration and natural beauty, this exceptional mill offers far more than a country residence. It is a place where heritage, landscape and contemporary creativity come together in perfect harmony — an elegant retreat and a unique opportunity to create a new chapter in one of France’s most captivating regions.
