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.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

Peaceful and Relaxing

The mill is surrounded by water and trees so, despite the excessive heat during our week's visit, we stayed more comfortable than expected. The owners are both discrete and available if necessary and the location was very good to allow us to see the things we wished to see.

The unit was very comfortable and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. They granted us privacy and checked in appropriately. Abundant information was available about sites and activities. Guests need to be nimble enough to navigate steep stairs. The unit has beautiful grounds, fish to watch under the mill, good parking, two bikes, ping pong and pétanque!

Great spot to stay, clean rooms & friendly owners. Bedroom tighter than expected. Biggest issue was with Vrbo as had not sent request before staying for second payment / invoice & had not been paid, was rather embarrassing. Doubt if using again.

A little paradise

We don’t have words for this gem, an absolutely perfect place to calm down, to relax, to recharge your batteries, in the middle of unspoilt nature and at the same time not far from many places of interest. We felt at home from the very beginning and you feel that the apartment was designed for personal use as it is very individual and full of interesting books. Thank you Christine and Yves for hosting us, we would really love to come back one day!The only criticism refers to the agency of fewo- direct which should update the information about the mentioned additional offers (for example French lessons) which is no longer applicable.

Back to nature

Het water.. het geluid van het water.. de oudheid van het pand...de locatie onbeschrijvelijk mooi. Binnen in het apartement 3 laags!. Beneden grote ruimte om bijv je fietsen te stallen en op te laden. Boven mooie ruime zitgedeelte met heel prachtig uitzicht. Keuken alles erop en eraan. En boven heerlijk bed. Met het rustgevend geluid van water. Je voelt de oudheid hoe men vroeger bloem maakten voor brood. Buiten kun je heerlijk op het terras zowel boven als beneden in de zeer grote tuin met eigen grond wandelen en genieten van de natuur. Fietsen in de omgeving is fantastisch. Zeker met een e-bike. Grote supermarkt Auchan op 3km afstand. En dan de gastheer en gastvrouw. Onwijs goede en lieve mensen. Zeer goed engels ook sprekend. Christine en Yves, hartelijk dank voor het heerlijk verblijf. En hierbij nog mooie link naar jullie fantastische Franse parel: https://youtu.be/5jZEqtSwXv8?feature=shared Grtjes. Antonio en Jolanda

Little Paradise!

We fully enjoyed our stay at Rix Mill! The most difficult part was to decide if we just stay for a lazy day in this little paradise or to go and visit some of the interesting sites in the area. The Mill is nicely renovated and the site is a gem for everybody who enjoys nature. Christine and Yves are very welcoming and the perfect hosts. They leave enough privacy but offer support whenever needed. They also know the area very well and have plenty of ideas on things to do in Burgundy. Thanks Christine & Yves for sharing your little paradise with us!

Entspannter Aufenthalt im Burgund

Wir wurden von den Gastgebern herzlich empfangen. Die Ferienwohnung ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Das voll nutzbare Grundstück mit Flüsschen, Teich und Garten ist wunderbar. Freizeitmöglichkeiten vor Ort werden angeboten, z.B. Paddelboot, Fahrräder, Tischtennis u.a. Die Gastgeber haben sich während unseres Aufenthaltes auf ihrem eigenen Grundstück sehr zurückgenommen, um uns vermutlich nicht zu stören, was gar nicht nötig gewesen wäre. Guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge, z.B. nach Vezelay, Guedelon, Auxerre (empfehle Spaziergang am Flussufer der Yonne vom Piscine Stade Nautique ins Stadtzentrum) oder in den Dinosaurierpark Cardoland.

Mühle Rix - Idyllisch, wunderschön und totale Erholung

Die alte Mühle und das ganze Gelände sind einfach nur herrlich. Den Morgen mit einer Tasse Kaffee und tollem Blick auf den Mühlenbach (vom Ess-/Wohnbereich) oder auf den Weiher von der Terrasse aus bzw auch direkt am Weiher sitzend zu beginnen, was gibt's Schöneres :-). Interessante Ausflugsmöglichkeiten in einer Umgebung von 45 Minuten bis zu gut einer Stunde (einfacher Weg), fanden wir, auch mit Hilfe der sehr netten Gastgeber. Einkaufmöglichkeiten wie beschrieben in ca 3 km in Clamecy. Vielen Dank nochmal Christine, für das vorzügliche Abendessen, es war total lecker 😋. Und ein weiteres Dankeschön an Yves fürs Zeigen eures Wohnbereiches und die Erklärungen zur Mühle. Hat uns wirklich sehr gut gefallen und war total interessant 👍. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit, die leider viel zu schnell verging. Viele Grüße Christine und Stefan

Lovely peaceful stay!

Wonderful hosts and very comfortable place to unwind. We enjoyed our stay after a busy Paris trip. The view of the pond and river that wind around the property is idyllic. Great way to relax in the French countryside. Having a washer and dryer was very nice after traveling. The house is very clean and well equipped with everything you need. My husband and I even played ping pong downstairs. Two fawns wandered in the yard to say farewell on our last day!

Wir haben die Gastfreundschaft von Christine und Yves sehr geschätzt. Die alte Mühle ist ein wahr gewordener Traum, der zum Entschleunigen einlädt. Als Ergänzung haben wir Ausflüge (auch gastronomische) in der näheren Umgebung gemacht. Dabei konnten wir immer auf sehr hilfreiche Tipps von C&Y zählen. Auch als wir ausgehungert ankamen, organisierten sie uns in einem tollen Restaurant einen Burgundischen Willkommensschmaus. Wir haben es in der alten Mühle von Rix sehr genossen, gerne wieder!
