Property Description

Nestled in the heart of the Ariège Pyrenees Regional Natural Park, this carefully renovated stone barn offers a rare opportunity: to live fully immersed in nature, in an unspoiled environment, while enjoying a comfortable and autonomous home. Access is via a mountain footpath of approx. 1 km uphill (20 minutes on foot) from the nearest hamlet.
With a surface of approx. 20 m2 on the ground floor + 22 m2 mezzanine, this former barn was restored about twelve years ago using only natural and ecological materials: stone walls, hemp concrete, lime plaster, wood-fiber insulation, local timber framing, and a traditional slate roof. The warm and authentic interior highlights wood and artisanal finishes.
The house is equipped with a complete self-sufficiency system:
Energy: solar panels (two independent networks), solar water heater (300 L) complemented by a wood boiler (80 L), efficient wood stove (MBS), gas cooker, with the possibility of installing a biodigester or even a hydro turbine on the nearby stream.
Water: pure spring water, UV filtered.
Sanitation: dry toilets.
Thermal comfort: excellent insulation, with the house built against the mountain ensuring naturally regulated temperatures (never below freezing in winter, naturally cool in summer).
Outdoors: a 10 m2 wooden terrace facing south offers breathtaking views of the Trois Seigneurs mountain and the remarkable Goutets site. A traditional bread/pizza oven, two wood shelters, and a secondary barn complete the property.
 
The land, generally sloping, covers approx. 36,000 m2 in one single block a rare feature in the region. It includes over one hundred fruit trees, many berry plants, cleared areas, oak and beech woods, and three streams that flow year-round. From the property, no houses, lights, or roads are visible, guaranteeing total privacy and peace.
An ideal place for electro-sensitive people: the barn is located in a white zone (completely free of electromagnetic waves). High-speed internet is still available through Starlink, stable and efficient.
Just 8 km (12 minutes by car) away, the village of Massat offers all amenities.
This eco-friendly and self-sufficient barn, in perfect harmony with nature, invites you to a serene, simple, and independent life in one of the most beautiful settings of the Pyrenees.
