Description

A44737NIL09 - This property is set in a particularly attractive environment: by a river, on the edge of woodland, on a large flat plot with open views of the surrounding mountains. Despite this natural setting, it is not isolated and remains within easy reach of local amenities.

With its three gîtes, the property is well suited to hosting groups or families. The large activity room is a real asset in this respect. Thoughtfully designed, it lends itself to a variety of uses such as family gatherings, yoga retreats or small events.

This former sawmill, converted into a home in the 1970s and subsequently improved, comprises:

A main house of 147 m² including a 50 m² living room, a dining room of 30 m², a 12 m² kitchen with a 5 m² utility room, a ground-floor bedroom with en-suite shower room (18 m²), a second ground-floor bedroom (11 m²), an additional shower room (8.5 m²), and a mezzanine (18 m²) leading to a third bedroom of 30 m².
A large 66 m² workshop located between the house and the first gîte.
A first gîte with a 10 m² ground-floor bedroom, a 13 m² living room, a 4.5 m² kitchen, a 4.5 m² shower room and a 16 m² mezzanine.
A second gîte including a 19 m² kitchen/living area, a 5 m² shower room, a 9 m² sitting room, a 10 m² ground-floor bedroom and a 16 m² mezzanine.
A third, larger gîte close to the river, offering three bedrooms (13, 11 and 9 m²), two shower rooms (7 and 5.5 m²), a 10 m² kitchen and a 23 m² living room.
A large 80 m² wooden barn.
The main activity room with a small adjoining kitchen.

This property naturally suits buyers with a project in mind. Its peaceful setting makes it particularly appropriate for retreats, well-being activities or simply a quieter way of life. The main house or the larger gîte can comfortably accommodate a family, while the smaller gîtes can be rented out.

The property is best appreciated in person rather than through photographs, in order to fully understand its atmosphere and potential. While some cosmetic updating could be considered, the property is already ready to welcome guests in this attractive part of Ariège.

I would be pleased to show you around and help you discover the potential of this property and its setting. Please feel free to get in touch.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
