Description
A little over 20 years ago we fell in love with this valley when we were looking for a place to retire - a sunny, green valley, with the sound of the stream flowing quietly through it. In the centre was an old stone mill waiting to be restored, with barns and an oven. After all these years spent here, we would like to sell it to a amateur of rural authenticity, nature and history.
Charming property in the countryside in Aveyron on 3ha of meadows and forest crossed by a stream. Isolated but only 30 minutes from Rodez and 10 minutes from Lake Pareloup, it is located in a sunny, but green and fresh valley, offering a serene living environment surrounded by nature.
The main residence, a mill from the beginning of the 19th century, has been restored with care and quality materials, while preserving its original charm, earning it a label from the Heritage Foundation. (The benefits from the right to water.) An independent gîte, a large barn of 420 m² on 2 levels which can be transformed for an activity (artistic or artisanal, well-being, agrotourism, etc.) or accommodation (CU granted), a traditional bread oven and greenhouses complete the package. The property is located in a landscaped park which extends along the stream.

- Ground floor: large entrance, space with the old mill mechanism and a workshop with sink and toilet;

The two homes are heated by geothermal heat pumps (COP 4.7) and equipped with solar water heaters.
The roof of the large barn is equipped with photovoltaic panels with a power of 9kWp (production sold to EDF - €3,800 for 2026).
A flower garden all year round surrounds the homes to give way to meadows and woods further on.
The large barn offers an exceptional opportunity to add an additional home or carry out a professional project (craft or artistic activity, wellness area, receptions, seminars, workshops, exhibitions, concerts).
