luxury property with terrace for sale Rodez, France

In the heart of an Aveyron valley, in a particularly quiet and secluded environment, this rare property is organized around an old mill whose origins date back to the 15th century. Now converted into a characterful home of approximately 200 m2, the mill is accompanied by independent accommodation, three barns and a stone outbuilding housing an old working bread oven. The property extends over more than 20 hectares of registered land, consisting of meadows around the buildings and large wooded areas bringing together different species: oaks, beeches, poplars, Douglas firs, pines, spruces or even American oaks. The property benefits from a preserved location while remaining accessible: a school is about 3 km away, the first shops and services are 12 km away, the city centre of Rodez is 22 km away, Lake Pareloup is 23 km away and the A75 motorway is 58 km away. On the left, the living room, measuring nearly 70 square meters, is one of the most remarkable rooms in the property. A large bay window provides direct access to the outside, while a wood-burning insert is installed on the old millstone. At the center of the traditional parquet floor, a secure glass panel reveals an ancient vault and the river flowing beneath the building. Integrated lighting highlights this particularly unique architectural feature after nightfall. From the living room, an arched stone opening also offers a view of the river in its entirety. The gentle lapping of the water naturally accompanies the atmosphere of this warm and unique room. At the far end of the living room are a shower room and a toilet. The room's generous dimensions would also allow for the possibility, if needed, of creating a ground-floor master suite. On the other side of the hall, the dining room flows into a recently renovated, fully equipped open-plan kitchen arranged around a large central island. An induction hob, extractor hood, ovens, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, and ample storage create a pleasant space for cooking and entertaining. Extending from it, a cellar built directly into the rock offers an original place to store provisions and preserve wines. The staircase leading to the upper floor opens onto a shaded, rustic terrace overlooking the stream. This special spot allows you to enjoy the coolness of the river and the surrounding nature. Upstairs, the house has four spacious bedrooms, one of which could be divided to create an additional bedroom. A multi-purpose room of over 20 m2 could become a playroom, office, dormitory, gym, or relaxation area. An adjoining room offers further possibilities: a dressing room, storage space, an additional bedroom, or a new bathroom. A bathroom and separate toilet complete this level. Located near the main house, a separate accommodation unit is available for family, friends, or travelers. It includes a living room with a fully equipped kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom with a toilet. At the front, a large covered terrace extends into a more intimate space arranged around a fire pit. The view of nature and the river invites relaxation and offers a true escape. In front of the mill entrance, a central courtyard is bordered by two barns offering ample storage space. These are ideal for DIY projects, storing firewood, or other items... Opposite the courtyard, another stone building houses a still-functioning bread oven. This welcoming space could accommodate meals featuring wood-fired pizzas, a games room, or an additional reception area. At the rear of the property, a third barn offers numerous possibilities: additional accommodation, a wellness space, an artist's studio, or a craft workshop. Water and electricity connections have reportedly already been planned. Any change of use or new development will, of course, remain subject to the necessary planning permissions. Along the river, several areas have been created to fully enjoy the outdoors: a playground, a vegetable garden, rest areas, and spots ideal for setting up sun loungers or ha
