Near the lake of Eguzon
Indre
France

Looking for a property that ticks all the boxes, watermill, isolated, riverside location, land, forest, fully renovated to a high standard in actual fact just pure heaven, well look no further because this is just a pure gem.

Situated on the borders of the Creuse/Indre region just 10 minutes from the large lake of Eguzon is this stunning renovated watermill, renovated to a high standard most material used for the renovation have been re-claimed thus bring this property back to its former glory using original authentic materials. There is still potential to continue the works of the current owners with the possibility to extend the property or build a granny annexe/ gite in the original mill workings tower, along with renovating a large 160m2 barn cu in place for transforming to a habitation. A right of way exists through the property which used to be the old cart track to the local market, and a feature of the property is its original stone bridge, the right of way does not get used anymore as the property is located at the end of a no through lane, but you may see the occasional walker passing by, but no access to vehicular traffic.

On entry to this stunning property you enter into a utility room, the first thing to hit you is the central heating boiler, combined unit to use wood and oil, with two huge water tanks, I think the army could pass by here and all shower and you would still be left with a full tank of hot water. From the utility room you enter the kitchen with its exposed beams and original tiled floor, the kitchen is fully fitted, but once again all fitted with very authentic fittings including a modern gas hob built into an antique solid fuel cooker. The kitchen also has a large larder built around the mill workings, a really interesting room, and perfect temperature for keeping your vintage collection of wines. The next room is my favourite the lounge a good 50m2 with windows and doors galore letting the light come in from all directions, the lounge is split in two divided by a double sided open fireplace incorporating an ancient bread oven, the lounge has French doors leading out onto the patio and overlooking the river and small 1000m2 lake. The lounge is also overlooked by the first floor balcony with 2 large double bedrooms and a bathroom to die for once again a very modern looking bathroom, but so much reclaimed material used this renovation has been very carefully thought about to incorporate new and old. There is a further bedroom with en-suite bathroom on the ground floor also overlooking the river.

The owners have carefully chosen all the furnishings and furniture for this property, and are prepared to negotiate separately should someone wish to purchase the property with the antique furniture.

Outside the property offers 5 hectares of land, including a 1000m2 lake stocked with fish, also a large stretch of category 1 trout river so for the fly fishermen this property really is paradise, the land is broken down into pasture and woodland, with the river running right through the middle. The garden is nicely maintained around the house, but further a field the land is left as nature intended.

It is also possible due to the water rights available on this property to install a turbine for hydro electric to be produced.

This is a must to visit.
