Nestled in an exceptional natural setting on the banks of the Viaur River, this historic mill, dating from before 1582, offers a rare lifestyle where water, stone and woodland come together.

From the property, the view extends directly over the river and its peaceful flow, while a magnificent 13-metre waterfall, forming part of the grounds, is a striking reminder of the history and unique character of this remarkable property.

Arranged over four levels, the mill offers approximately 185 m² of living space, together with several additional areas providing further potential for conversion and development.

A Home Full of Character
On the ground floor, a generous 125 m² area includes a remarkable 43 m² room beneath the terrace, ready to be converted according to your needs and imagination. A glazed section incorporated into the floor provides a direct view of the flowing water below ? an architectural feature that is both original and spectacular.

On the same level, the 41 m² heated garage/workshop will delight anyone with a passion for DIY, mechanics or practical projects. Equipped with a vehicle inspection pit and a goods lift, it is an exceptionally useful and versatile space. A utility/storage room, shower room with WC and internal staircase complete this level.

The first floor, accessible either via the internal staircase or an external staircase, forms the heart of the home. It comprises a 27 m² dining room with fireplace, together with a generous and light-filled 38 m² living room with open-plan kitchen.

Featuring a cathedral ceiling, Velux windows, a wood-burning boiler stove and views over the river, this wonderful room has a warm and distinctive atmosphere. It opens directly onto a superb 60 m² terrace, creating a natural extension to the living space and the perfect place to enjoy the peace and surrounding countryside.
A shower room/utility room and various storage areas complete this floor.

The second floor comprises a 25 m² bedroom and a 16.5 m² study, the latter providing access to the staircase leading to the upper floor.

The third floor, with its charming sloping ceilings, offers a 17 m² bedroom measured at floor level, together with a 27 m² attic space, also measured at floor level, offering further potential depending on requirements.

A Property Renovated with Passion
The mill has been progressively renovated since 1997, with an original approach focused on preserving its character and historic features, while incorporating additional period materials and the comforts required for modern living.

The slate roof was renewed in 2010 and has been regularly maintained. Heating is provided by a central heating system using oil and wood. The windows are a combination of double and single glazing, and the ceilings are insulated.

The property has an Energy Performance Certificate (DPE) rating of F. The septic tank requires only an upgrade to bring its ventilation system up to current standards.

A Truly Exceptional Natural Setting
The approximately 6,000 m² of grounds are undoubtedly one of the property’s greatest assets. Comprising a relatively level area together with sloping, wooded sections, the land borders the Viaur River and includes a spectacular 13-metre waterfall, as well as a traditional former bread oven.

From the property, walking routes lead directly into the woodland, with paths allowing you to walk alongside the river, providing privileged access to an unspoilt natural environment.

This is an ideal setting for lovers of nature, water and heritage, but also for anyone looking for a distinctive permanent home, a characterful holiday retreat or a property offering scope for further development and personalisation.

Ideally Situated Between Albi and Rodez
The property is just 5 minutes from Tanus, with its local shops, primary school and SNCF railway station, and only 7 minutes from the dual carriageway linking Albi and Rodez.
Carmaux, with its Friday weekly market and full range of amenities, is approximately 20 minutes away, while Albi, with its remarkable Episcopal City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is just 25 minutes away. Rodez airport is situated at 38 minutes and Toulouse-Blagnac at just 1h15.
