In Saint-Martin-des-Puits, the former priory — consisting of a house where the prior once lived and the superb chapel — was built in the year 897 and ceded to the Abbey of Lagrasse in 1094.
The house is like a blank canvas, featuring magnificent stone vaults.
The ground floor area is 65 m², with the possibility of adding a mezzanine level (to preserve the view of the beautiful vaults), thus offering a living space of around 100 m².
A trapdoor opens onto a staircase leading down to a beautiful stone cellar.
The house is equipped with electricity, mains water, and mains drainage.
The 1,605 m² plot offers a breathtaking view of the chapel and is bordered by the river, accessible for swimming, fishing, and other activites.
A basin has already been prepared for the installation of a swimming pool system, for added relaxation.
The grounds are planted with vegetation and trees (walnut trees, hazelnut trees, bamboo) and feature a magnificent Roman well.
Access to the house on foot is via a beautiful listed stone staircase, overlooked by a protected pine tree, which runs alongside the part of the chapel topped with two bells.
The chapel — a pure Romanesque gem, now owned by the commune — is adorned with Romanesque frescoes. Steeped in history, it once served as a resting place for travelers, a spiritual landmark nestled in a lush green valley.
A truly unique place to own!
