Water Mill for Sale in Ariege, Midi Pyrenees, France

Restored Water Mill with 5 Income Producing Furnished Gites

This beautiful stone "moulin" (water mill) has extensive frontage on the l'Arac River, one of the finest trout fishing rivers in the Ariege. Ariege is one of the original 83 departments created during the French Revolution on 4 March 1790.

There has been a mill on this site since Napoleonic times. The present moulin was rebuilt at the end of the 19th Century. The interior has been recently renovated. In addition to the mill house, there are 5 income producing, fully equipped, self-catering studio apartments. Reduce your carbon footprint with a water turbine (45kw) that produces all the necessary electricity. It is important to note that additional income is possible from electricity that can be sold. Live in one Gite and rent out the other four to cover expenses.

The mill is in good structural condition with 360 m² of habitable surface (3,875 sq. ft.), 3.7 hectares of land (9.14 acres), 13 rooms, 8 bedrooms and electric heating. Bordering the garden there is a swimming pool (12 x 4.5), a hard surface tennis court and a fish pond.

This property is located near Aleu, in Ariege, in the Midi-Pyrenees region which is 15 minutes from the town centre from Saint Girons. The property is approximately 2 hours to Toulouse and 3 hours to Perpignan on the Mediterranean Sea.
