Luxury Water Mill, with rights in Ardin, Deux-Sèvres, character home with outbuildings and land

This is an exceptional discovery. A beautiful and spacious character family home with a historic 17th-century watermill in Deux-Sèvres, Southwest France. It offers the perfect blend of authentic charm and modern comfort and is set in a very pretty countryside setting. Alongside the river l’Autize, this property enjoys a peaceful, romantic atmosphere with the sound of flowing water, mature gardens and an orchard, all creating a truly ideal setting. Currently run as a holiday gîte, the house offers excellent income potential and is ideal for hosting private events such as weddings, retreats or family celebrations. The surrounding land could also suit small-scale farming, equestrian use or eco-living projects, with the added bonus of being able to generate your own electricity on-site.

Whether you’re dreaming or have been searching for a family home in France, a holiday retreat, or a property with gîte business potential, this remarkable estate delivers it all.

This elegant character watermill property with river frontage offers the best of both worlds; historic authenticity from the 17th Century and present-day convenience. Benefiting from electric central heating via a modern boiler and beautiful large open fireplace, the home is fully equipped for comfortable year-round living. The septic fosse conforms.

It’s a perfect home sanctuary, the one place in the world where you can feel completely yourself. A ready-to-move-in countryside home in France, or an income-generating gîte property with the option to host guests, retreats, or events in a serene rural environment.

The modern fitted kitchen is bright and functional, with ample storage and a separate utility room providing space for a freezer, washing machine, and fridge. The adjoining dining room exudes French elegance, with a beautiful exposed stone wall and a striking chandelier setting the tone for family dinners or entertaining guests. A convenient WC with washbasin is located just behind the dining area.

The spectacular and spacious family lounge of approximately 32 m² showcases the property’s history, with a vaulted ceiling, the millstones exposed and a marble fireplace serving as the centrepiece of the room. Large windows flood the space with natural light, opening directly onto the garden and offering peaceful river views. The staircase, adapted for a stair lift, leads to the first floor, where you’ll find three generous double bedrooms.

The master bedroom (22.m²) is quite breathtaking, a light-filled sanctuary with an en-suite bathroom with separate WC, offering both a luxurious and relaxing haven.

Two further spacious double bedrooms provide plenty of flexibility. One features a mezzanine area, ideal for additional sleeping arrangements or a creative workspace.
The hallway leads to a large walk-in shower room, a separate WC, and a storage area that could easily become a walk-in dressing room. Also potential to create another room at the end of the house (high above the actual water mill).

Outside, the private garden is mainly laid to lawn with two adjoining fields, providing ample space for outdoor activities, gardening, or small-scale farming. Several outbuildings enhance the property’s charm and practicality, including a garage, workshop, and a traditional bread oven. There is also ample parking for multiple vehicles. The house is accessed by a short driveway.
