Paris-Isle of France, Val-d`Oise, Labbeville

With its eleventh century church, and eighteenth-century chateau Labbeville is a town of timeless character in a peaceful valley in the Vexin National Park. It lies just 35 km from the centre of Paris and 15 minutes’ drive to L’Isle-Adam with its famous market, supermarkets, shops and restaurants.
The house is a former mill that was built to last with massive stone walls with stone columns supporting the beams that carry the floors above. It’s an impressive structure with wide open living areas. The floors are tiled in the kitchen and bathrooms and are oak parquet in the living room and bedrooms and there are cast iron radiators throughout the house. The sound of the river provides a soothing soundtrack and it’s a pleasure to observe the kingfisher fishing for small trout in the river below as it passes through the garden.

There once was a water turbine producing electricity, but it is no longer in place. The mechanisms to control water flow and to remove objects from the water remain though and appear to be fully functional. It looks as though it will be a fairly simple process to install a new water turbine to provide complete autonomy in electricity and revenue from excess production, however this will have to be confirmed by a competent engineer.
