House Arvieu - 5 bedrooms - 147m²

Situated in a small cove with its own natural, unspoilt beach, this waterfront property lies on the shores of Lake Pareloup on a 6,400 m² plot bordered by hedgerows, with a well and spring water, in a peaceful setting with no overlooking neighbours!

Connoisseurs know that properties like this are extremely rare, as this lake – the fifth-largest artificial lake in France – is classified as an inland sea.

Consequently, the Coastal Act applies, meaning it is no longer permitted to build within 100 metres of the shoreline.

Despite the 130 km of shoreline, there are very few properties right on the water’s edge, and those with no neighbours – slightly secluded and out of sight – are even rarer!

This house, ideal as either a main residence or a holiday home, is situated 6 km from the school and all local shops, 30 km from Rodez and 38 km from the A75.

Currently, the property offers 147 m² of living space, plus 55 m² of floor space under the eaves which could be converted for additional use, a cellar/workshop/storage area of 37.5 m² and a 10 m² annexe with a toilet and shower, plus a room for the motorised pump and booster pump which supply the entire property with water from the on-site spring.

There are three wells on the land which, to date, have never run dry; the water is of good quality but has not been analysed; the owners drink it, but for complete peace of mind, for a budget of around €500, a series of filters can be installed to ensure it is safe to drink.

Alternatively, the mains water supply is not far away and it is possible to connect to it.

You can therefore be completely self-sufficient by installing solar panels – a real asset these days!

From the road, a tree-lined path leads you to the house.

On the ground floor is a room serving as a living/sitting room – formerly used as a garage – adjoining a kitchen.

Two bedrooms, each with a washbasin, plus an additional 8 m² room suitable for a child, and a shower room with toilet complete the living space on this level.

Adjoining this space is a 37.5 m² room serving as a storage area, cellar or workshop.

On the first floor, there is a large open-plan living area of 42 m² divided into two distinct spaces: the kitchen/dining area and the cosy lounge area with its beautiful fireplace and direct access to the 32 m² terrace, which enjoys a lovely view of the lake.

Adjoining this, a hallway leads to a bedroom with a washbasin, another room that could serve as a spare bedroom or study, and a shower room with a toilet.

A door leads to one side of the house, where there is a small semi-circular wall serving as a bench – the ideal spot to gather round a campfire or barbecue.

Continuing on from there, at the rear of the house is a lovely wooded area, perfect for relaxing on a blanket or in a hammock strung between two trees.

On the top floor, there is a further bedroom and a 55 m² attic space suitable for conversion, leaving you plenty of scope to come up with all sorts of new ideas.

As you can see, this house could easily be divided into two flats, to accommodate family and friends or to generate rental income.

The open space at the front of the house also offers a multitude of possibilities for making the most of it: a pleasure garden with a children’s play area, a pétanque court, a vegetable patch, space for pets, as well as the option to host loved ones in a motorhome, caravan or tent.

Of course, you may apply to EDF to install a mooring jetty at the front of the beach so you can moor your boat, jet ski or sailing yacht.

This property will bring you great joy and allow you to create countless memories that will last a lifetime, so don’t delay – come and discover this hidden gem straight away!
