The millhouse dates from 1834 and is quietly situated in the Carcassonne area in a romantic spot with panoramic views overlooking the impressive river with its waterfall.

The well kept, flat, walled garden of about 5000m² with several old trees is bordered by the river on one side and the mill stream on the other. At the end of the fully sprinkled romantic, illuminated garden is a small island, used as a playground for children. There are many original features in the garden like the well, locks, bridges and the waterfall.

General condition
The main house, with oil fired central heating, has been fully renovated in 1974 by the actual owner and has absolutely no humidity problems despite the water passing under the house. The guesthouse, air conditioned, has been refurbished recently but needs the kitchen to be finished. The main house, even so all is in working order, would benefit from some modernisation.

Comment
This attractive property could be a very good investment for a gite and B&B business attracting clients all year round due to its unique character and situation. This grand family home is now looking for a new owner who will continue to look after it with as much affection and care.
