Hankelow Mill, Audlem, Nr Crew


There has been a Mill on this site for over 300 years.  Now beautifully restored both inside and with the mill wheel restored to its original working.
The Mill is approached by a long twisting drive through lush woodland; a magical approach to a stunningly beautiful valley.
Meticulously planned restoration has created an exceptional home. Sitting in over 4 acres of landscaped gardens, the mill comprises 3 double bedrooms - 1 en-suite, (from one bedroom a  spiral staircase leads to both attic space and an office) A large family bathroom with Jacuzzi, with a separately contained shower.  Each of the three floors is accessed by ornate wrought iron staircases.
On the first floor the living room and dining room are both approached through solid oak doors on either side of the hallway.  The living room extends the full width of the mill with full length picture windows at either end with fantastic views.  The Dining room opens on to a wide balcony, again with spectacular views.
The Dining area leads into a very spacious dining- kitchen with unusual barrel-vaulted ceiling and some mill workings still visible in one corner. The kitchen is fitted to a high specification with 'Etruscan' cream-painted furnishing and claret painted walls.
The ground floor houses a utility room, a large work shop and the impressive Mill wheel itself. Through the rear entrance there is a wide under croft suitable for undercover outdoor entertaining. In addition there is plentiful outdoor storage and further toilet facilities.
Most of the mill dates from the 18th century, however the rear section was extended at a later date to house a steam engine. This section is a separate dwelling with its own fenced off garden and does not comprise part of the sale.

Ref: 57 - Olive Press and Watermill on River

Olive press and flourmill alongside small dam. Along a pretty forested road between two villages about 10km NW of Oliveira do Hospital.

Besides the olive press which consists of 2 adjoining buildings, there are 4 more smaller buildings, one of which houses the flourmill. All are in an excellent state of repair except for the roofs which need replacing. All the buildings were renovated some years ago when the olive press operated as a cafe.

Much of the machinery is still present and someone with an artistic inclination would be sure to include this in the reconstruction in some way!

SLOVENIA

Large four story Mill, 3 residential properties and outbuildings.

€235,000

Approx land 12054m2 (2.9 acre’s or 1.20 hectares)

A small country estate!
No neighbours and no roads!
Property includes:
  • Four story Mill Building
  • 2 x adjoining houses
  • 1 x detached house
  • 1 x large barn
  • Brick outbuildings
The property is located just outside the village of Bakovci, set back from the road (no residential neighbours close to the property) accessed by a purpose built track surrounded by woodlands and fields and 10 minutes by car from the town of Murska Sobota in the region of Prekmurje, North East Slovenia which borders Hungary, Austria and Croatia. The motorway can be reached in just five minutes.
This property is registered as both residential and commercial therefore it could be used for many projects such as:
A tourist centre, camp site, tourist apartments, children’s farm (petting zoo) hotel, restaurant, small farm, adrenaline park,  spiritual centre, factory, workshops, storage facility, private farm,  the list is endless.

The actual Mill building is NOT registered as a listed building, which means there will be no problems with converting it into a commercial or residentional project.

The whole area of Bakovci has long terms plans to become a tourist centre. Old gravel pits and fishing lakes are currently being renewed and renovated and a cycle path will eventually run down past the Mill which will join up with cycle paths in Austria.

The actual Mill building was first used to produce textiles and later grain.
At the rear of the building there was a water wheel but when electricity was used to power the Mill it was removed but could be restored. The Mill wheel was originally powered by water feeding off the river Mura. Today a sluice gate on the river Mura prevents the water flow, but the stream is still there and so could be used again with permission.

This is a pretty big project; however the two semi detached houses don’t need that much work to become liveable.  Depending on the project, grants may be available to fund part of the project.
Some owners of parcels of land that are close to the mill have expressed an interest in selling; therefore it’s possible to purchase more agricultural land if required.

EU passport holders can buy freely in Slovenia and so can American passport holders, other nationalities can also buy, however a company must be formed which is a simple process.
People often group Slovenia with Slovakia, Bulgaria and Romania, however it is more similar to Austria.
Slovenia has a good economy, very low crime rate and the people of Slovenia extremely hospitable.
