Midi-Pyrenees, Aveyron, Coupiac, France

The water mill and its outbuildings, which date back to 1850, are set in a private corner of paradise on the border of the Tarn and Aveyron departments in the Southwest of France and have been tastefully restored between 2010 and 2020.

As you step through the electric gate and over the stone bridge you enter a realm of calm where you will hear nothing but the trickle of the river that attracts deer, otters and even kingfishers. The mill mechanisms have been restored, allowing you to produce flour and walnut oil or simply to marvel at the ingenuity of the builders of that time. Lovers of nature and French countryside heritage will find everything they are looking for and more!

There are approx. 425 m2 of living space on this property, consisting of a roomy and light main house with original stone sink, a large fireplace, an equipped kitchen open to the dining area, 2 living rooms, a library/office, a reception area with the functioning millstones and a 1st bedroom on the ground floor. You'll find 2 other ensuite bedrooms on the first floor.
