Functioning Water Mill, 5 Acres of Nature, River, …

Property Description

A very private corner of paradise on the departmental boundary between Le Tarn and L'Aveyron for this milling complex from 1850, tastefully restored between 2010 and 2020. Crossing the electric gate and the private stone bridge you will feel the calm descend, and you hear nothing but the rushing of the river which attracts deer, otters and even kingfishers. The mill mechanisms have been restored and allow you to make flour and walnut oil or simply marvel at the ingenuity of yesteryear. Everything is there for lovers of nature and countryside heritage! There are approx. 425 m2 of living space for this property, consisting of a bright main house with original stone sink, a large fireplace, a fitted kitchen opening onto the dining room area, 2 living rooms, a library/office, a reception room with the millstones in operation, and a 1st bedroom with WC and shower area on the ground floor. On the first floor 2 other bedrooms en suite. The original miller's house has been transformed into a detached guest house with shower room and kitchen/living room opening onto a large balcony and can comfortably accommodate 2 to 4 people. The property is sold fully furnished and equipped, ready to settle down. The 13m x 6m heated swimming pool has a poolhouse with an equipped kitchen, large covered terrace and barbecue as well as a guest bedroom and shower room. There are several cellars and outbuildings for storing wine, storing garden tools, doing your workshop... All around there are large and small terraces where you will enjoy spectacular views of the waterways, notably the 10m high waterfall! And, in addition, different fruit trees, a vegetable garden and a wide variety of plants, most of them automatically watered with spring water. The main house is equipped with central heating, underfloor heating for the ground floor and with radiators upstairs, there is a wood stove which heats the guest house. The pool water comes mainly from filtered spring water. The mill is located in a fairly wide and sunny valley. Because the mill is built inside the bend of the river and is located 2 stories above the water, even the strongest storms have left it safe and dry for almost 2 centuries. A magical and authentic place to share with friends and family or for a hospitality activity! Tours will start from May 22, 2024
