Between River and Countryside… Le Moulin Badot

Property Description

Former 17th-century mill in Corbenay, in the countryside of Corbenay, 15 minutes from Luxeuil-les-Bains and 1 hour from the Swiss border. This former mill of 568 m² of living space awaits you by a first-category river. Renovated with noble materials in the 1980s and recently updated, its wood boiler (2019) and its fireplace insert will keep you warm and comfortable through the winter. River, meadows, and forest on over 3.6 hectares, crossed by the Combeauté (a first-category river where trout reign). This property, more than 3.6 hectares in total, half woods, half pastures, will delight the most demanding. A natural paradise as soon as the sun comes out. A pleasant ornamental basin serves as a natural swimming pool or carp pond, if you prefer. Straddling the river and the bridge that separates it from the road, the old mill “Badot” (its name), dating from the 17th century, has stood the test of time in the shade of ancient trees and the freshness of its river. Old stones form the base, which the former owners revived with a complete restoration in the 1980s, using noble materials such as oak, earthenware, and local stones throughout for everyone's delight. The interiors are equally attractive. The heavy oak door opens onto a spacious entry with travertine stone flooring, leading to a dressing room with a sanitary area and a first living room. The tone is set: authenticity, quality, and originality. This large living area features generous volumes, underfloor heating, a cathedral ceiling, solid warm materials, and large bay windows that let in sunlight all day. It hints at long moments of well-being by the fire in the fireplace, while enjoying views of the garden, the ornamental basin, and the river. An oak staircase leads to a mezzanine overlooking the living room. A connected library invites you to pause, followed by a well-equipped kitchen. All these rooms, oriented toward the garden and its terrace, invite you to enjoy both indoors and outdoors. On the same level, a master suite with its dressing room and a recently renovated bathroom will captivate you for the night. A second living room will also charm you with its wood paneling, vaulted ceiling, and doors hidden behind oak sculptures. These lead to a shower room, a spacious games room, and an office. On the second floor, another sleeping area offers two large bedrooms, a bathroom, and a second master suite. Space enough for a large family or many friends. An independent guest house adjoining the main part with a perfectly independent entrance offers about 90 m² of comfort. It includes an entry, a large living area, a separate equipped kitchen, a dressing room, a bedroom, and a bathroom. Perfect for friends seeking independence or for a welcome additional income via seasonal rental. Exterior as Interior: larger and more authentic than nature. Between the house and the river, the former swimming pool has become a pleasant ornamental basin, inviting relaxation and tranquility. You can listen to birdsong and the sound of water. The adjacent pasture, home to a few peaceful horses, further encourages total disconnection. The bucolic river, owned on both banks, sets the dream scene around untouched, preserved nature. A paradise for anglers, of course. Here, nature is queen, and man has not yet finished mastering it. Agency opinion: The absolute comfort of this former mill, with modern touches, combines authenticity, space, and untouched nature on 3.6 ha, just 15 minutes from the charming town of Luxeuil-les-Bains and 5 minutes from the first conveniences of Saint-Loup-sur-Semouse. Ideal for your next family vacation, or a getaway with friends, or a seasonal rental project. Video available on request. See you soon at Le Moulin Badot, in Corbenay.
