Moulares, Midi-Pyrénées 81190

Former water mill of 173 m2 of living space, 5,200 m2 of land, stream, hundred-year-old oaks, not overlooked There are houses that have a history, and then there are those that tell it. A former stone water mill, this property full of character has preserved many elements testifying to its past, including the old millstones, still visible. Surrounded by nature and lulled by the murmur of the stream that crosses the land 11 months out of 12, it offers a rare, peaceful and deeply authentic living environment. The renovation has preserved the soul of the place: exposed stone walls, magnificent old beams, oak floors, terracotta tiles and generous volumes combine with more contemporary equipment for a pleasant living comfort. A warm house full of character On the ground floor, a beautiful living room bathed in light combines a dining room and a living room, with a wood insert and windows open on two facades. The presence of old beams and oak parquet flooring immediately gives this space a warm and timeless atmosphere. The fitted kitchen, arranged around a large central island, is a real convivial living space. The materials and warm colours fit perfectly into the old architecture of the mill. On this same level, two bedrooms of 14 m2 and 14.5 m2, as well as a bathroom with WC, allow comfortable living on one level. A terrace of about 15 m2 completes this level. Heating is provided by an air-to-air ducted heat pump. A garden level with generous volumes The lower level offers two very beautiful rooms that can be used according to everyone's needs: a bedroom of 31 m2 and a large living room of 37 m2. With its old terracotta tiles, its wood stove and its underfloor heating powered by an air/water heat pump, this level is particularly warm and could also be suitable for a family area, a reception room, an office or an independent space. An exceptional natural environment The land of approximately 5,200 m2 is one of the great assets of the property. Out of sight and without vis-à-vis, it is embellished with magnificent hundred-year-old oaks and crossed by a stream, creating a bucolic and soothing atmosphere. A small above-ground swimming pool allows you to take full advantage of the summer days. A carport for two cars, a garden shed and three photovoltaic panels for self-consumption complete the property. The joinery, made by a local carpenter, is single-glazed. The individual sanitation complies with the standards in force.
