Location
This mill is on a clear-water tributary of the river Sèvre-Niortaise, the main feeder for the Poitevin marshland before it flows into the ocean in the magnificent Bay of Aiguillon. 2 km from the centre of a market town which has more to offer than just local shops and amenities satisfying daily needs. Saint-Maixent-l'Ecole TGV train station, with its 2-hour links to Paris, is but 12 minutes away. It takes barely more than an hour to reach La-Rochelle by car or by train.
Description
The mill
This mill still has its enormous wheel which, once repaired, could be operated once again by its system of sluicegates. The building, spanning 200 m² over three levels, awaits restoration, perhaps by preserving what remains of its machinery, notably its different sized pullies which for years provided the power required for the weaving activity and then for the sawmill. In any event, the many large, south-facing openings make the inside extremely bright. The recent, insulated, Angers slate roof was entrusted to the expertise and professional conscience of prestigious craftsmen from the “Compagnons de France”.
The house
Two old, adjoining dwellings have been made into a single house, whilst a third, narrow section, following on from the other two, is currently in use as storage space. Spanning two levels, this house faces east. It has a tiled roof.
The outbuildings
The outbuildings are on the other side of the little country lane, together with a vegetable garden and an orchard. The barn roof was redone a short while go. A farm shed standing at right angles is used for parking cars.
Our opinion
The only sound to be heard comes from the trout river. This elegant mill is steeped in potential for a new way of life that the current owner of the property, a stone-cutter retired from the French Historic Monument Society, has meticulously prepared. The nostalgia exuded by the machinery can but provide future inspiration. The house, a main residence or a holiday home if, for instance, it is used for holiday rental purposes, can be lived in straightaway. Nature has taken care of all the rest, creating a lush, tranquil harmony.
