Anyone keen for a commune in the south of France?

The idea of a $500,000 mortgage scares me. 30 years is a long time people. How does the idea of Buying a farmhouse with a few acres and a whole lot of charm in the south of France sound? Surrounded by vineyards, 30 mins from Biarritz, 90 mins from the Pyrenees ski resorts and smack bang in the middle of Frances Rugby heartland.



This little puppy caught my eye, classic old school farm house with connecting barn. It has plenty of room for propagating flora and fauna and even has a few acres of vines.

Bags be in charge of Honey (with Nat) and veggies.


Other vacancies;
Brewer, Spiritual leader and Local Mission Leader, wine maker, IT (incl web assistance), Animal husbandry (I reckon I could take care of this too but might need help with the Lambing) head Chef, machinery supervisor, irrigation engineer and what farm would be complete without a milk maid.


Ok so it might not be realistic right now but I leave you with these thoughts

No but I'm sure your trading skills could be used to turn our produce profit into a healthy education fund for our kids.
