€129,710, Deux-Sèvres, Nouvelle Aquitaine

This enormous property has so much to offer to the right person willing to put the work in. The 12th century tower benefits from a great location close to the vibrant and historic town of Melle, as well as bustling Chef Boutonne. In its current state, the property is partially converted into four flats on four levels, so a new owner would have the option of continuing with the conversion to create a great business investment, or having the property as one huge house.

€136,250, Vendée, Pays de la Loire

This one is pretty special – a beautiful and romantic windmill for two (or one) in the heart of the Vendée countryside. The mill was built in 1885 and provided the local area with flour until 1975, when it was converted into a dwelling. Since then it has been restored to offer comfortable and tasteful living areas and one bedroom. There is also planning permission to built a small lodge on the grounds, which could provide some rental income.
