Mill Souvigny - 7 bedrooms - 449m²

This vast "Moulin au Bord de l'Eau Tumultueuse", a former ban mill belonging to the neighbouring château, is just 400 m from the market in this charming village in the Bocage bourbonnais region, which boasts a listed church, châteaux and noble houses.

The hillside, planted with tall trees of various species (sequoias, pine, oak, lime, walnut, purple beech, orchard, etc.), protects the buildings shown on the Cassini map to the east, which were extended in the 19th century by the local noble families. A plaque on the front of the mill shows the dates on which it was modified: "repaired in 1777, rebuilt in 1874, renovated in 1968".

The wide reach crosses the property from south to north for 200 m, running alongside a wood of wild species (willow, vernal, etc.), and the parallel Rivière Tumultueuse flows for 300 m through two beautiful hedged meadows, separated by the reach's relief canal, and bordered to the west by the towpath.

Overlooking this luxuriant countryside, the south-facing gable of the mill and its sunny terrace provide access to a dwelling where the old rooms have been given a new lease of life, with modern comforts and ecological renovations: pellet-fired boiler, double-flow ventilation system, lime and hemp insulation, thick double glazing on the traditional wooden windows (2023), wood-burning stoves in the two living rooms, 4 kW solar panels, recently insulated roof; electricity and plumbing have been overhauled; recent bathroom and toilet fittings, floors and decoration; however, the drainage system needs to be brought up to standard.
