Three things I like

  1. Live beside a millpond and stream, with orchards and ancient trees all around
  2. Four furnished apartments and a holiday-let business with 20 years behind it
  3. A Franche-Comté village mill facing an old castle tower, between Besançon, Dole and Dijon

The trade-off

No energy class or bathroom count is given, and the figures need checking: 350 m² of living space but a stated usable area of 140 m².

About this home

A historic mill whose original building dates back to the 14th century, now four furnished holiday apartments with a rental business that has run for 20 years. It sits on 1.3 hectares with a millpond and a stream, orchards, ancient trees and flowerbeds. There is also a living room with a fireplace, a garage, a workshop and a wine cellar. The last major renovation took place between 2000 and 2005 and followed the rules for protected historic monuments. The mill is part of the village, facing the round tower that remains of a former castle, in the triangle between Besançon, Dole and Dijon.
