ARVIEU, Midi-Pyrénées, Address available on request

Remarkable real estate complex, located in the heart of the Lévézou region in Aveyron, just 10km from Lake Pareloup, and -30 km from Rodez, nestled on almost 3 hectares of greenery, in an absolutely idyllic, quiet setting. And without close neighbors, has benefited from a complete and recent restoration, combining careful decoration, refined finishes, ecological and quality materials, while having preserved all its elements and its original character which earned it a label from La Fondation du Patrimoine.
 
This old mill, a fine example of rural heritage of the region, is an ensemble of two residential houses facing south and several outbuildings structured around a stream and a small courtyard. It provides a unique opportunity, not only for a connaisseur of historic stone buildings, but also for any investor seeking to develop an activity in hostelry (seasonal or long-term rentals) and hosting of events. 


In addition to the main residence (+ 230 m²), the complex includes a lodge of almost 90 m² (rated 3 stars) accommodating up to 5 people, an exceptional barn of + 400 m², a large carport accommodating two vehicles, a cellar, a closed garage for two cars, two greenhouses, an old restored bread oven, and a covered terrace accessible from the living room of the main residence.

Ground floor: a large entrance with, a laundry space contiguous with a large workshop to the right, and, to the left, a small exhibition room displaying old components of the original mill. 
Upstairs: a large living room, luminous with its numerous openings (including 2 French windows, one opening onto a covered terrace, ideal for summer meals, and the other to the back of the house), a fully equipped kitchen opening onto the living room, with a beautiful terra-cota wood stove. Next: two bedrooms, a bathroom (installed in the old scullery), and separate Wc.

Upon crossing the stream on a small metal bridge, a pleasant courtyard serves the outbuildings:


Renovated from an old barn, above a large carport and a cellar, the lodge is independent. It comprises a spectacular living room with a wood stove and an open kitchen facing onto a small fenced terrace, two bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate toilet and a large closet. This accommodation is ideal for entertaining family, friends, or for hostelry.


To the side, two small greenhouses transformed from old pigsties and covered with a transparent sheet roof are ideal for horticulture enthusiasts. They may also be adapted for other purposes.


Opposite is a barn with two levels measuring 210 m² each. On the ground level, the old stables retain their original aspect. Ample under-beam height allows this space to be adapted to other purposes. On the second level, the barn with a spacious cathedral-type roof frame, is very spectacular and could serve perfectly as a reception room for weddings, seminars, concerts, an artisan's workshop or other activities. A planning permission is in progress. The roof is covered with numerous photovoltaic panels (9 kW-C) whose contract can be transferred to the next owner.. A covered garage accommodating two vehicles is attached to the barn. Both levels of the old barn are accessible to deliveries necessary for the organization of events. The small courtyard outside, with its renovated semi-covered bread oven, can serve as an outdoor space for receptions, aperitifs, a smoking chamber, etc.


The estate has been landscaped into a park along the entire course of the stream (1.5 km) and around the property. A garden flowering throughout the year has been created around the buildings. There is also a terraced vegetable garden and two orchards with about twenty fruit trees (apple, pear, peach, cherry, etc.). Above is a parking space for around ten cars. The surroundings are rural and wooded, ensuring tranquility of the environment.
