Location and access

Situated at the head of a reservoir on nearly 6,000 m² of wooded terrain, this 16th-century mill lies midway between Albi and Rodez. While easily accessible via a major north-south transport axis, the valley floor itself can only be reached on foot, by bicycle, or by water. The property features a 40-metre waterfall on-site; further downstream, the Viaur river enters a gorge with depths of up to 80 metres.

Building and layout

The mill offers approximately 340 m² of living space across four levels.

Ground Floor: Comprises the original mill room, workshop with pit, cold storage, and plant room. This area is suitable for conversion into a studio, restaurant, or additional living space. Two viewing windows in the floor of the mill room provide a direct view of the leat running beneath.
Main Floor: The primary living area features a rustic kitchen and a sitting room with an open fireplace, boasting an original fireback bearing the coat of arms of Charles V. The bedrooms are each distinct in character. A goods lift connects the ground and main floors.
Outdoor Space: The grounds include a covered summer kitchen, a traditional domed bread oven (over two metres in diameter), and a pizza oven located on the riverside terrace.

Technical infrastructure

The property is equipped with oil and wood-fired central heating and is connected to the national grid. Water is supplied via a 12-metre borehole, and there is a private wastewater treatment plant. Internet is connected with an internal wired network. The site offers clear potential for hydroelectric power generation.

Regional context

The Ségala region is known for its rolling hills and cultural heritage linked to Albi and Toulouse-Lautrec. The property provides access to an extensive network of hiking trails, the Gaillac wine region, and the nearby Plateau de l’Aubrac.
