PLASSAC
A rare property comprising a former fortified water mill, parts of which date back to the 16th century; A large early 19th century main house with pigonier and a separate former distillery. The property stands on one hectare of land with a stream running through it.
The land is lawned with many trees including some very large chestnuts, poplars and a fruiting walnut tree. There is a long private drive off the lane and a large “pré” before the drive crosses the stream via a small (but very strong; OK for heavy trucks) bridge.
The property is surrounded by fields and is particularly quiet and peaceful.
There are three open fronted garages off the courtyard behind the main house together with a covered area for wood storage and four animal shelters. There is also a well which, at one time, provided the drinking water for the house but would need covering and testing before using now. (It never dries and is only 6 mtrs down to water level)
The sewage system is fully in accordance with current standards (Certificat de conformité issued.) with a fosse-septique of 10,000 ltrs. Capacity.
