Estate "Fumel" (Lot et Garonne), S/W France

Living-space ground floor and first floor: 3020 sq. ft. (280m²), central heating.

Ground floor built in a yellowish natural stone to the region. The house is surrounded by total tranquility in the middle of a beautiful fenced in park of 2.71 acres (11.000m²) and is composed of pine- and fir-needle trees perfuming the air. There is also an orchard with ca. 15 trees (figs, cherries, apples, peaches, kaki fruits, plums, pears etc.). Several exotic trees and plants exist due of the mild climate. It is this unique combination that gives the park it’s charm.

Within minutes by car one can reach the center of the small town of Fumel (ca. 9000 inhabitants) or one of the multiple supermarkets around Fumel.

The whole region of S/W France is very popular with tourists but not only tourists! There are many British, Dutch and other northern Europeans who have settled here and even some Chinese, Australians and Americans.

Why? Because the land is spacious. Therefore no noise, the air quality is excellent and the sun shines! And all this with the comfort of the French culture and gastronomy! (Bordeaux wines among others and the famous "foie gras" of S/W France). There are no traffic or parking problems. You are living amidst the most marvellous old medieval villages and castles (the most famous: Chateau des Milandes where Josephine Baker lived. Also Fumel has its old castle called "Bonaguil" which was visited by Lawrence of Arabia and even relics of the Roman empire (Villa Scopia near Agen).

Renting the first floor of the villa in July and/or August with accommodations for 8 people (4 bedrooms) can easily pay for all the expenses of the propriety. Question: "But is it not a lot of work to care of an area of 2.71 acres (11.000m²)?" Answer: "Interestingly enough it is not ! Half of the park consists of forest where there is nothing to do yet it gives the perfect beauty and privacy."
