The understated charm of an old mill

In the heart of Balaruc-le-Vieux’s historic center, at the foot of the ramparts, this former part of the 17th-century Moulin de Portaiguières now houses a unique living space where authenticity blends seamlessly with meticulous renovation.

Behind an artist-crafted wrought-iron gate, an intimate courtyard sets the tone. A true extension of the house, it’s perfect for summer dinners or children’s games, while also providing access to the main entrance and over 130 square meters of additional space, including a large 60-square-meter garage, a laundry room, and several storage areas. This rare property offers numerous possibilities for use.

An elegant staircase then leads to the apartment. Upon entering, the atmosphere is striking. Exposed stone, antique parquet floors, and abundant natural light create a true haven where calm and serenity are paramount.

Spanning over 120 square meters, the apartment reveals warm living spaces where the charm of the original features is evident. The open-plan kitchen seamlessly extends the living room, while exposed stone, antique parquet floors, and abundant natural light create a soft and profoundly soothing atmosphere.

One almost forgets being in the heart of the village, so naturally does the calm and serenity prevail. The sleeping area comprises two bedrooms, including a suite with a large closet and its own private bathroom. This bathroom, with its corner bathtub and unique décor, invites relaxation.

A second, recently added shower room delicately extends the harmony of the space. An office, which can also serve as an additional bedroom, completes the layout.
The living areas benefit from a pleasant opening onto the natural landscape bordering the Angle cove, a panorama preserved thanks to the protected status of the neighboring plots.

The attic, currently unfinished, offers excellent potential for development and, subject to the necessary administrative permits and technical studies, could accommodate additional living space or be transformed into a charming rooftop terrace.

Just steps from shops, schools, and walking paths, this address combines the charm of a village steeped in history with the immediate proximity of Sète, the Thau Lagoon, and major transport links.

A condominium with no management fees, no ongoing legal proceedings, completes the advantages of this unique property.
