A sprawling 19th‑century watermill estate on 25 hectares beside the Armançon river, located in Burgundy’s Yonne department. The property includes a historic mill, a main house with stone floors and fireplaces, a guesthouse, and an array of outbuildings like barns, stables, a former bakehouse, and even a disused turbine room. The landscaped grounds include meadows, paddocks, a lake fed by a stream, and woodland — a versatile site ideal for combining rural farming operations with guest accommodation or events.
From the seller:
The imposing farm complex, with its inalienable right to make use of the river water already indicated on the Cassini Map (the first detailed map of France, produced in the 18th century), extends around a central courtyard surrounded by meadows. From a road that leads to the village, you reach a covered carriage entrance framed with brickwork. This bears witness to the historical role of this place that once brought together farming activities and the watermill. A driveway lined with acacias leads to the buildings. The buildings are arranged into two series of connecting structures that face each other and run from east to west. Two houses stand out, completed with a group of outbuildings with different purposes: there are barns, workshops, storerooms, stables and a former bakehouse. Beyond them, at the back, meadows and paddocks extend from the tree-dotted banks of a lake, filled up with water from a stream that then joins the River Armançon, whose banks are on the other side of the road that leads to the property. Today, this remarkable property combines its agricultural activities with receptions and gîtes, offering produce straight from the farm.
