Introduction

Ancient flour and metal working mill, steeped in history. The main building of 800m2 is complemented by the attached, but separate 4 bedroom guesthouse. Chaumont and the impressive walled city of Langres are a short drive away, with excellent infrastructure (college, cinemas, museums, car main dealers etc) and a train connection to Paris in 2,5 hours. Within 20 minutes there are lakes, sand beaches, a new swimming & leisure center as well as plenty of group activities for children (swimming, horse riding, ballet, gymnastics, rugby etc). The Paris / Nancy to Lyon motorway is also only 10 minutes drive. Dijon, Nancy & Trois are also only 1-1,5 hours. It is a popular area also for Dutch, Germans and Swiss as tourists and residents. This is special place, perfect for a large family, a lucrative rental / B&B or a holiday home for several people.

Description

Inside the 4-story main Mill building, downstairs in the mill room, the machinery is still evident and there is a nice wood burner to enjoy evenings with the sound of water rushing under your feet. A large workshop or garage (circa 45m2) is on the other side and a storage and corridor to the guest house, plus central staircase makes up the rest. Upstairs on the 1st floor you will find a recently installed high-end kitchen within the 80m2 of open plan living area. This main living floor also has 2 ensuite bedrooms, a guest WC and a utility / storage room.

The 2nd floor is currently set up as 2 large suites - one with an en-suite shower room. There is also a large family shower room and small day kitchen between them - perfect for guests, teenagers, or for rental options.

The top 3rd floor has recently been sealed and boarded and has high wooden beams and left open plan; 150m2 of “wow” open space. It is quite simple to model this floor to your own taste; a high-end apartment or a family games / entertainment space, with additional space for guests.

Exterior

The land takes you for almost 1km along the river, under 2 railway bridges. It includes 2 large fields. One has a small vegetable plot, new planted apple trees and quality children’s wooden playground. The other field hosts the hydroponics greenhouse (48m2, 5m tall!) with an old stable (former metal forge). It also has a wooden chalet in good condition. At the end of the front garden, you will find a new wood burning "Hobbit" sauna next to the small mill river which runs under the house. In between dipping in the river and sauna sessions, you will be amazed by the night skies.Cross one of the 2 ancient looking bridges onto a large river-encircled island, and you can relax in hammocks. There is also a very large conservatory / winter garden to enjoy that outside feel even in the winter. The river deck has been recently renovated and provides a truly unique part of this property... you can jump into the sandy river, or use the recently created steps to glide into the water.
