Exceptional Watermill Estate with River and Guest Houses, Aveyron, South of France
Nestled in an unspoiled natural setting in the heart of Aveyron, near the medieval village of Najac, this exceptional watermill estate, with roots going back to the 13th-century offers a rare opportunity to acquire a character property in one of southern France’s most sought-after rural locations. Shops and amenities are just 3 km away.
Fully restored, the historic stone mill combines authentic charm with modern comfort across three levels. Original features such as exposed stone walls, timber beams and generous volumes create a warm and refined atmosphere. The main living area features an open-plan kitchen, mezzanine and a striking fireplace with wood-burning stove, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
On the garden level, the former mill room has been transformed into an impressive reception and entertaining space, preserving the soul of the property while enhancing its functionality.
The estate is set within a truly unique environment, with a river and waterfall running through the grounds, creating a peaceful and private sanctuary.
In addition to the main house, the property includes three independent one-bedroom guest houses (possible gîtes), each with modern kitchens, bathrooms and private terraces. These are perfectly suited for a holiday rental business, boutique hospitality project (subject to permissions), or multi-family use.
Set on approximately 1.6 hectares (4 acres), the grounds feature a harmonious mix of woodland, meadows and water features.
A swimming pool, summer kitchen and professional-grade kitchen further enhance the property, making it ideal for retreats, events or high-end tourism ventures.
A large barn with direct road access offers further development potential, whether for additional accommodation (subject to necessary permissions), workspace or storage.
A rare and versatile property in the South of France, combining heritage, natural beauty and strong income potential, ideal as a luxury private residence or an established lifestyle investment.

Opening Hours
Tuesday to Thursday 9am - 1pm, 2pm - 5pmDiscuss an Offer
If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
