A lovely 4 bedroom mill house with outbuildings, lake and land
We are delighted to offer this lovely classic Tarnaise mill house (320m2) dating from around 1820 which has been beautifully renovated over the years to provide a very comfortable family home with four bedrooms and potential to use for B&B as well. There are plenty of outbuildings, a pool, a lake , a potager and orchard. Together with the land of just over 6 ha it could be ideal as a small equestrian property or for other animals and it is privately located at the end a driveway. It is situated just 5 minutes from Cahuzac sur Vere, 20 minutes from Gaillac with all its commerces or about an hour from Toulouse with its airport.
