Ref.4116 : Former mill for sale in Brittany, with its restored house.
Situated in southern Finistère, this former watermill on the banks of the River Ellé dates back to the 15th century and contributed to the local economy until 1968.
Isolated and sheltered in a bucolic and romantic green setting, the mill and its main house will delight you with their unique natural environment, imposing serenity to the rhythm and sound of the flowing water.
Between the coastline and its fine sandy beaches, Pont-Aven (whose artistic reputation is well established) and Pont-Scorff (villages of arts and crafts, zoo...), the Pontcallec national forest (Natura 2000 site), there's no shortage of things to do and see. This is an essential point for anyone wishing to use this property as an exceptional tourist accommodation or a place to recharge their batteries. There are plenty of hiking trails within easy reach. The Equibreih29 horse-riding circuit passes to the north of the property.

The main house, formerly covered in straw, stands out for the shape of its roof, typical of many Breton thatched cottages. Facing the Ellé River, it offers an enchanting panorama.

The house is built of rubble stone, local schist and granite. It offers around 136sqm of living space as follows:
Ground floor: entrance hall, separate wc, open kitchen with monumental, round, double-sided wood-burning stove, magnificently framed by 4 master beams, living/dining room with cathedral ceiling revealing the timber frame and upstairs passageway, bedroom with en-suite shower room and wc (with external access).
First floor: a bedroom with en suite bathroom and wc (independent access possible via an outside stone staircase / north gable), another bedroom with en suite shower room and wc.

Continuing on from the main house, and overlooking the mill and the river, two terraces have been installed. The larger of these features a bread/pizza oven, which will undoubtedly be a welcome addition on spring and summer evenings. This space provides an incredible view and perspective of this extraordinary natural setting.
Adjoining the large terrace is a large 24m² shed with central heating.
Two garages and a 55m² workshop.
A woodshed of approx. 8m².
Below the retaining wall at the entrance to the property: a large wooden shed measuring approx. 34m² on the ground (equipment storage).
The mill, framed by two river diversion canals, is in need of restoration. The large wheel inside is remarkable, reflecting the history of this unique property and the mill's active contribution to the local economy. The building was inhabited until the early 2000s. All utilities have now been run to the inside of the building, awaiting the future owner to bring it back to life.
First floor (approx. 80m²): living room with fireplace, toilet, large room with monumental wheel and wooden axle (second fireplace). First floor: mezzanine, 2 rooms under eaves. Two terraces open onto an outdoor living space overlooking the river.

The land, approx. 18 acres (7.45 ha), comprises a large proportion of woods (over 12.35 acres / 5 ha) and fields (over 4.94 acres / 2 ha). The fields are free of rights.
A well fed by river water.
The Ellé is a river renowned for its abundance of fish.
The GR34E hiking trail crosses the property, offering nature lovers a privileged natural setting. A right of way is in place, allowing hikers to use the path in complete peace of mind.
This charming old mill, no longer used for hydraulic purposes, nevertheless retains its character and its privileged riverside location.
