Property details

Nestled in the beautiful Ariège countryside and only 5 minutes from the vibrant medieval town of Mirepoix, this charming farmhouse offers a rare opportunity for horse lovers, riding instructors or anyone seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle surrounded by nature.

Accessed via a quiet country lane, the property enjoys a tranquil setting bordering a picturesque fishing lake, creating an idyllic environment for both people and animals. The lake is not only ideal for fishing but is also suitable for swimming, offering uninterrupted views from the house and terraces.

The equestrian facilities are extensive and provide excellent potential for a riding school, horse training centre, livery business, or private equestrian estate (with the necessary permissions). The property benefits from stabling for up to 9 horses, a tack room, a large indoor riding arena, a substantial agricultural hangar for machinery and hay storage, and a shaded wooden shelter for horses. Riders can enjoy direct access to countless riding trails leading through the surrounding countryside and around the lake, allowing for hours of hacking in every direction.

The farmhouse itself is full of character. A front terrace provides the perfect spot for enjoying a morning coffee while taking in the peaceful surroundings. Inside, the home offers an open-plan kitchen and dining area, three comfortable bedrooms, a shower room, a separate bathroom with bathtub, a separate WC, a study and a spacious living room centred around a traditional fireplace ? ideal for relaxing after a day spent outdoors.

French doors open onto a magnificent 70m² summer terrace overlooking the impressive 12m x 6m swimming pool and the lake beyond. This exceptional outdoor entertaining space is perfect for family gatherings, al fresco dining, and enjoying the spectacular views across the water.

The property also includes a former tennis court requiring refurbishment, which could alternatively be repurposed as an additional training or exercise area for horses.

Combining equestrian facilities, leisure amenities and a beautiful natural setting, this unique property offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity in one of the most desirable areas of southwest France.
