About this property
Water Mill | Private Lake | Fiber Wifi | Burgundy
Experience the rare harmony of a 17th-century water mill set within 5.5 hectares of private riverbanks, ancient woodland, and hidden gardens. Rix Mill is a sanctuary designed for those seeking peace, where the gentle sound of the water replaces the noise of the world. Perfectly positioned in the heart of Burgundy, this historic retreat offers a seamless blend of heritage charm and modern luxury, featuring underfloor heating and high-speed fiber internet for the ultimate countryside escape.
Your Property: The gîte is a masterclass in restoration, offering total privacy adjacent to the main mill house.
The Living Space: An airy, open-plan design with floor-to-ceiling river views and a large private terrace. Stay cozy with a traditional wood stove and consistent underfloor heating.
Modern Essentials: Equipped with 1Gb/s fiber-optic Wi-Fi, making it a premier choice for a 'workation' or creative retreat.
Sleeping: A serene primary bedroom on the mezzanine floor with high-quality linens, plus a versatile sofa bed for flexible sleeping arrangements.
Guest Access: You have exclusive access to the gîte and full freedom to explore the 5.5-hectare estate:
Riverside Bliss: Private access to the riverbanks—ideal for morning coffee, meditation, or paddling.
The Lake: Wander down to the private lake for sunset reflections and birdwatching.
Nearby Nature Trails: Kilometers of woodland paths and fields start right at your doorstep.
Parking: Ample on-site parking with easy access to the main road.
Interaction with Guests: As your hosts, we (Yves and Christine) live on the estate and are available to ensure your stay is seamless. We are fluent in English and French and love sharing our passion for Burgundy, from local vineyard secrets to the best cycling routes. We respect your total privacy but are only a short walk or message away if you need local recommendations or assistance.
Other Things to Note: • Wine Lovers: We are perfectly situated for day trips to the world-class vineyards of Chablis, Sancerre, and Beaune.
• Safety First: As a historic water mill, the property features open riverbanks and lake access; please exercise caution near the water.
• Accessibility: The cottage requires climbing stairs, which adds to its elevated views but may not be suitable for those with limited mobility.
• History: Discover the 'firewood route' to Paris that once flowed right past your window.
