Property description

A watermill set in a small village with lakes and tree lined rivers and streams.

The quiet village of about a dozen properties includes a boulangerie and a small chateau selling locally produced cognac and wines.

The property has been tastefully renovated over the last ten years, retaining many of its original features. There is, however, still much potential as parts of the property have been structurally secured but still afford the opportunity for imaginative development.

The mill stands in its acre or more of a wooded valley, in the small village of Veillard, with boulangerie, and there is easy access to the nearby towns of Jarnac and Cognac, with many good  shops and restaurants of all varieties from cheap and cheerful to classic standards. A variety of interesting sites may be found in the area, and the coast is only an hour distant.

The relaxed lifestyle of this region and the ease of access to so many excellent facilities  - Cognac Golf nearby, superb Leisure pools and spa and sport halls as well as the famous cognac houses to visit offer a wonderful choice of occupation for resident and visitor alike - and there's always a festival or a fair to enjoy - or just chill out with a relaxing glass of something .................

On a 'green' front, there is a possibility of developing, with a view to economy, the Hydro-electric potential which is becoming ever more attractive in current circumstances.
