More of a hamlet than a simple house this property has it all. A former working watermill this 3 hectare site has been transformed into luxury accommodation for owners and guests with park, paddocks, garden, woodland, pool and pool house, tennis court, direct river access, islands, manor house, former signalman's cottage (now a gite), former 'office' (now a gite), electricity producing turbine, manor house and still several houses and the mill buildings ripe to convert/restore. Plenty of room for several families and/or plenty of guests.

The main house (currently used as a successful B1B has 5 double guest bedrooms on the 1st floor and the owner's bedroom on the ground floor along with large double diner/lounge, separate breakfast room, office and kitchen with basement garage and utility areas.

The first gite (the former signalman's cottage - the line has been long since removed and is a recognized tourist walk/cycle path) has a lounge and kitchen/diner along with wc and shower room on the ground floor and 2 bedrooms above.

The second gite (former office for the working mill) has had many original features kept and enhanced into the design offering on the ground floor; double bedroom, shower room and wc, lounge, entrance hall and large kitchen/diner. Above are 3 bedrooms and another shower room with wc.

The reception hall of roughly 285m2 is ideal for weddings, birthday or retirement parties or art exhibitions, etc. etc. and the attached mill building is ripe for conversion into whatever takes your fancy.

There are also three other house in a line which could easily be renovated/improved to provide additional accommodation if required. The property benefits from a water turbine which not only produces the electricity for the site but also sufficient to sell a significant quantity (circa 15,000 euros per year) to EDF. The heating system is a recent one using highly cost efficient 'wood chips'. The tennis court, pool and pool-house are located along the river banks.

The location is idyllic with good access to local amenities at Montoire, TGV access to Paris a short drive away at Vendome and the local historic troglodyte village of Troo a short walk away. An ideal opportunity to invest in this money making property with scope to expand further if required.

About Centre

Centre, like its neighbour the Pays de La Loire, is one the most majestic regions of France. Dominated by the Loire river and its chateaux, it is truly a magical part of France. Chartres, Blois and Bourges are some of the region's historic cities. Between Orleans and Tours is where you will see hundreds of magnificent chateaux, and this is where the region was given its name the "Valley of the Kings".

The scenery offers rolling hills, river valleys through to many forests, woodlands and lakes.

There are plenty of activities on offer from chateau tours, cycling, bird-watching, fishing, golf, hot-air ballooning, canoeing to kayaking. Of course the food and wines are excellent.

The area offers a mild climate thanks to the influence of the Loire river. The latitude of the Loire is typically where people say the climate becomes markedly better. The area offers milder winters, warm springs, warm to hot summers along with warm autumns.

Access to the region is good. There are low cost flights and the TGV fast train into Tours. Access to the region by car is also good with excellent motorway access. You can also fly into Paris and drive or take the train from there.
