6-bedroom 18 century former mill with autonomous energy potential at 95690 Labbeville, near L'Isle-Adam
At Labbeville near L'Isle-Adam this former mill dating from before the French revolution offers a unique link between the past and the present. The vast interior features original stone columns and massive wooden beams. The river Sausseron passes through the garden and once powered a water turbine that could be reinstalled to produce electricity. The building has recently been equipped with highly efficient heat pumps, reversible air conditioning and a thermodynamic water heater.
The accommodation is arranged as follows: Ground floor entrance, WC, Kitchen 50m2, living room 111m2. A beautiful terrace and front garden can be accessed from the kitchen and living room via French doors.
First floor: 2 landings and a corridor, 3 large bedrooms, office, 2 bathrooms, 2 WCs.
Second floor: 2 landings, 3 bedrooms, bathroom with WC and huge loft.
Outside: Outbuilding with large garage, gardens with fruit trees with lawns bordered on one side by the river, on the other by the Chateau
Labbeville is a village of genuine character in the Vexin National Park, its eleventh-century church and eighteenth-century château standing as quiet reminders of a deep-rooted history. The village sits in a peaceful valley 35 km from central Paris and around 15 minutes by car from L'Isle-Adam, where you will find a well-known weekly market, supermarkets, shops and restaurants.
This former mill was built to endure. Massive stone walls and stone columns support the beam structure throughout, giving the house a solidity and presence that is immediately apparent on arrival. The living areas are generous and open, with oak parquet flooring in the reception rooms and bedrooms, tiled floors in the kitchen and bathrooms, and cast iron radiators throughout. The river runs through the garden, and the sound of moving water is a constant and pleasant feature of daily life here. Kingfishers fish for small trout in the water below — the kind of detail that is difficult to put a price on.
Accommodation
Ground floor: Entrance hall with storage (23 m²), WC (2.5 m²), kitchen (50 m²) with French doors to the terrace and garden, living room (111 m²) with working fireplace and French doors to the terrace.
First floor: Two landings and a corridor; bedroom 1 with marble fireplace (21 m²); bedroom 2 (18 m²); master bedroom (41 m²); bedroom 3 / office (17 m²); bathroom 1 (19 m²); bathroom 2 (11 m²); utility room (8 m²); two WCs.
Second floor: Two landings; bedroom 4 (23 m²) with air conditioning; bedroom 5 (22 m²) with air conditioning; bedroom 6 (11 m²); bathroom with WC (10 m²); loft room with cathedral ceiling (84 m²) with air conditioning.
Outside: Outbuilding with large garage, off-road parking, gardens with fruit trees and lawns bordered on one side by the river and on the other by the château wall.
Technical
Heating is provided by two heat pumps. The second floor and loft benefit from reversible air conditioning. Hot water is supplied by a new thermodynamic cylinder. The house has double glazing throughout, with underfloor and loft insulation.
Energy autonomy potential
A water turbine formerly installed on the property generated electricity from the river. The turbine itself is no longer in place, but the water control mechanisms and screening equipment appear to remain intact and operational. There is a reasonable basis to believe that installing a new turbine could provide full electricity autonomy and potentially generate revenue from surplus production fed back to the grid. This assessment would need to be confirmed by a qualified engineer before any commitment is made.
Transport
The property is well connected for both daily commuting and international travel.
By train: SNCF Transilien line H from L'Isle-Adam – Parmain to Paris Gare du Nord in 48 minutes, with onward connections to the Eurostar, Thalys, Métro, RER and the national rail network.
