luxury property for sale Florac, France

A renovated former silkworm farm, its wooded grounds and covered swimming pool, within the Cévennes National Park, in the south of the Lozère department. Just a couple of steps away from Florac’s downtown area and sheltered from view, the property, protected by a stone wall, extends over wooded grounds and is accessible via a gate, communicating with one of the village’s secondary roads, which leads to two buildings: the former silk farm and now the main dwelling, as well as an outbuilding that has been converted into a workshop. Between the two, a patio shaded by a trellis is an invitation to eat meals outside on nice days, whereas, further on and hidden behind the property’s first rows of trees, is a wooden chalet as well as a covered and heated swimming pool. In addition, at one end of the grounds, a second outbuilding was converted to accommodate visitors, while the property’s wide variety of trees and the breadth of its verdant foliage create, when strolling through the grounds, a succession of breath-taking and peaceful landscapes. Lastly, a second gate, located in the back of the property, makes it possible to park several vehicles without creating an eyesore for the dwelling’s inhabitants.

A renovated watermill with two outbuildings and nine hectares of grounds, nestled by the Gorges du Tarn canyon in the Cévennes national park. A medieval bridge, then a village, lead via a lane to the property, which is isolated in a calm, lush backdrop. A Gorges du Tarn walking trail crosses the grounds, though only the occasional walker follows it. The grounds cover around nine hectares and include three buildings. The land edges the river over a distance of one kilometre. Three generations of the same family have followed on from one another inside this home. The old watermill and one of its outbuildings were entirely restored around 15 years ago. The second outbuilding has a new roof of schist tiles. Its interior needs to be restored. A working bread oven and a terrace with a view of the Gorges du Tarn mountains lie beside the buildings.
