House T5 in Arbois with virtual tour

For Sale – Timeless Living in a 12th-Century Mill Estate in Arbois, Jura

Where heritage meets autonomy. Where water powers your life. Where home becomes legacy.

🌿 What if living well meant living differently?

Just a short stroll from the center of Arbois, the historic wine capital of the Jura region, lies a place you rarely find — and never forget.

A fully restored 12th-century water mill estate, surrounded by flowing water, vines, and uninterrupted peace.

More than a property, this is a living sanctuary — where centuries of history meet nature, energy, and self-sufficiency.

🏡 A life redefined — comfort, soul, and independence

This extraordinary estate includes:

 • A main residence (~320 m²) featuring 3 elegant reception rooms, 5 double bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a modern wood-burning stove — all seamlessly blending historic charm and everyday ease.

 • A private 46 m² guest apartment, ideal for visiting family, hosting retreats, or operating as a boutique rental.

 • A large stone outbuilding to renovate into a creative studio, home office, or extra suite — your choice.

 • An authentic vaulted wine cellar, pristine and atmospheric.

 • A lush garden of 830 m², bordered by a canal and river, with a summer kitchen and composting toilet.

Across the river, an optional 3.5-hectare riverside parkland is also available — securing full privacy, water rights, and visual control of your surroundings.

⚡ And beneath the beauty… power. Real, clean, autonomous power.

At the heart of the estate lies a rare and valuable asset:

A fully operational 100kWh hydroelectric turbine, connected to a high-yield H16 feed-in contract.

➡️ In 2024, it produced 335,000 kWh, generating approx. €52,000/year in passive income.

Silent. Sustainable. Smart.

✨ What this place gives you is more than space. It gives you change.

This is not just a home. It is a shift in lifestyle.

It is for those who:

✔️ Want to wake up to the sound of water

✔️ Seek to pass down something lasting

✔️ Value independence and low-impact living

✔️ Want space to receive, create, or retreat

✔️ Expect more from life — and from what they own

📍 And yet, you’re perfectly connected:

 • 5-minute walk to Arbois shops, wine cellars, and local life

 • 1h40 drive to Lyon or Geneva

 • 2h30 to Paris by TGV
