Saint-Georges-sur-Cher, Centre-Val de Loire 41400

A mill with full ownership rights, a mill race and mill ponds, in 9 8 hectares of greenery, near to Chenonceau, in the Cher Valley. A tree-lined drive runs past a pond up to a vast courtyard in front of the building. The 700-metre-long mill race runs through the property and underneath the building, though the water wheel and its machinery have been removed. It was purchased in the 18th century by the owners of Chteau de Chenonceau and was rebuilt in 1810 in the same place as the former mill that featured on Cassini's famous map. A part of the mill, which ceased milling activity in 1967, is devoted to living space, with approximately 130 m spread over three storeys. In the other part that measures around 400 m, all the flour milling machinery is still visible: grinders, converters, sieves and sizing rolls are spread over four storeys.A house adjoins the mill and then in turn a garage, while a guest's house has been created in the dwelling at a right angle to these buildings. To the rear, there is an ornamental garden, a 1.5-hectare pond and woods, which all make up an uninterrupted estate of 6 hectares. Separate plots of meadows and woodland totalling approximately 4 hectares can be found nearby.
