house for sale Saint-Paul-le-Jeune, Ardeche

With loads of character and in a very beautiful location along a private road, this natural stone property offers complete privacy and is just a five minute drive from old town Pollensa. Originally a Moorish water mill, possibly the most outstanding feature is the impressive aqueduct that is integrated into the house. The property is in the area of Vall de March within the limits of Tramuntana Mountain territory, awarded World Heritage status by UNESCO in 2011 as an area of great physical and cultural significance. This watermill is one of the last still standing on the island; the oldest parts of the house are more than 1000 years old and have been lovingly extended over the past decades.

The main house comprises approx. 320 m2 living space and the guest house approx. 130 m2 - both are equipped with central heating; in addition, there are cosy fireplaces, a double garage, outdoor parking area and several utility rooms are also part of the ensemble.

The main building has seven bedrooms, four bathrooms and two separate toilets. The cosy and casual kitchen invites you spend time cooking with family and friends, and the inviting living room, featuring a grand fireplace is always a wonderful venue to get together.

Guests will feel at home in the natural stone guesthouse, which is slightly apart from the main building. It has two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen, living / dining room, terraces and shady pergolas.

The plants in the exotic, ornamental garden as well as the orange and lemon orchards on all the terraces, exude an inimitably delicious fragrance, which is always in the air around the former watermill. There is no shortage of outdoor spaces to enjoy: on the sunny terraces, or under the cool porch with built-in barbecue or on the pool terrace where there are a wood-burning oven and sauna house nearby. For cooling on hot days there are small natural pools at the wild end of the property, which fill during the rainy season and a there is a wonderful, heated pool meaning many months of use.

In addition, the property has water from its own well and a spring. Two large deposits provide a reliable water supply.

The property is in excellent condition and is a uniquely beautiful holiday home for every season, in the winter months ultra-cosy and in the summer months a cool retreat inside and paradise outdoors.
