Description
Beautiful former mill with pool
The location, the history and the character make this house unique. This antique mill is located in an idyllic setting, surrounded by a large, enclosed park with stately cypresses, old oak trees, olive and fruit trees crossed by the rippling water of the little river with its stone arch bridges. A short gravel road - approx. 800 meters, leads to the entrance gate of the mill, consisting of a stone house with several outbuildings and a swimming pool 6 x 12 meters. The entrance is via the courtyard in a spacious hall that connects the two floors. On the ground floor there is a very spacious living room with high ceilings, fireplace and patio doors to the courtyard. A wine cellar is accessible from this living room. A corridor connects the living room with a spacious dining room with windows and the adjoining well fitted main kitchen with access to a terrace with an old wood oven. Also on this floor are a billiard room, laundry room, pantry and access to a guest accommodation. The staircase with the restored olive oil reservoirs and millstones gives a beautiful appearance. The landing gives access to the spacious terrace and the five large bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. From every window of these bedrooms, the beauty of this place can be fully admired. The extensive grounds surrounding the property are very private and include several terraces suitable for outdoor dining and perfect for relaxing all day long. The mill was carefully restored at the time with the terracotta floors, vaulted ceilings, bricks and exposed wooden beams, but with scope for further modernization. Possibility to buy more agricultural land (about 15 hectares) with an agricultural shed and an ancient furnace currently in ruins that may be subject to development.
