9-Room House on the Shores of Lake Pareloup - Arvieu

Property Description

Nestled in a small cove with its own unspoiled natural beach, this waterfront house sits on the shores of Lake Pareloup, on a 6,400 sqm plot bordered by hedges. It features a well and spring water, offering peace and privacy.

Those in the know are aware that such properties are extremely rare, as this lake, the 5th largest artificial lake in France, is classified as an inland sea. Consequently, coastal protection laws apply, prohibiting construction within 100 meters of the shoreline. Despite the 130 km of shoreline, very few properties are built directly on the water's edge, and those with no neighbors, offering a degree of seclusion and privacy, are even rarer!

This ideal home, perfect as either a primary or secondary residence, is located 6 km from the school and all amenities, 30 km from Rodez, and 38 km from the A75 motorway.

Currently, the property offers 147 sqm of living space, plus an additional 55 sqm of floor space under the eaves that could be converted, a 37.5 sqm cellar/workshop/storage area, and a 10 sqm outbuilding with a toilet/shower and a room for the pump and pressure booster that supply the entire property with spring water. There are three wells on the land that have never run dry; the water is of good quality but not tested. The owners drink it, but for complete peace of mind, a series of filters can be installed for around EUR500 to guarantee its potability. Alternatively, mains water is readily available and connection is possible. Therefore, you could be completely energy independent by installing photovoltaic panels - a significant advantage in today's market!

From the road, a tree-lined driveway leads to the house. On the garden level, a room formerly used as a garage, now serves as a living/dining room and adjoins a kitchen. Two bedrooms, each with a washbasin, and an additional 8 sqm room suitable for a child, along with a shower room with a toilet, complete the living space on this level. Adjoining this space is a 37.5 sqm room used for storage, a cellar, or a workshop.

On the first floor, a large, open-plan living area of 42 sqm is divided into two distinct spaces: a kitchen/dining area and a cozy lounge with a beautiful fireplace and direct access to a 32 sqm terrace offering lovely lake views. Adjoining the living area, a hallway leads to a bedroom with a sink, another room that could serve as a guest bedroom or office, and a shower room with a toilet. A door opens onto a side of the house where a low, semicircular wall serves as a bench - an ideal spot for gathering around a campfire or barbecue. Beyond this, at the rear of the house, is a lovely wooded area, perfect for relaxing on a blanket or hanging a hammock between two trees.

On the top floor, there is a final bedroom and a 55 sqm attic space that offers further possibilities.

As you can see, this house could easily be divided into two apartments, ideal for accommodating family and friends or generating rental income.

The open space in front of the house offers a multitude of possibilities for its full potential: a landscaped garden with a children's play area, a pétanque court, a vegetable garden, space for animals, and even the option of hosting family and friends in a campervan, caravan, or tent.

Of course, you can also apply to EDF for permission to install a mooring pontoon on the beachfront to dock your boat, jet ski, or sailboat.

This property will bring you immense joy and allow you to create countless lasting memories, so don't delay, come and discover this gem!
