Full Description


In the heart of a protected green and wooded valley, this property is nestled along the river Né. It covers 2.5 hectares of land (including 2 wooded islands). Completely away from any neighbours, it is an ideal venue for hospitality events, retreats, fishing, ginguettes (dancing by the river). Close by are activities such as archery and horse riding. Currently run as a 'getaway to the country' for families, it is an up and running family business, ready to be loved by its next visionary owner. Not just a summer venue, this unique enterprise takes in guests all year round, and in the Spring months is full with vineyard and business people. To add to the value of this property there is a plantation of poplars ready to be sold.

It consists of:

WORKING 15TH CENTURY MILL with ancient water rights. Below, its wooden wheel, its oil mills and its restored works. Feasible to run a hydroelectric installation and sell electricity back to the grid 9 months of the year, an added bonus for a hotel running hospitality/events.
