One hectare terrain which needs constant attention, in future lots of flowers and veggies.

I live 45 kilometers from Clermont Ferrand. I can get you from the train station in Clermont Ferrand (50 kms)or Issoire (30 kms). I do not allow smoking in the house, but of course outside is not a problem.
The next shopping village is 7 kms away. There you can swim in an natural lake with a beach. I have also friends with swimming pools, they invite us every now and then to have a cool luxury dive in their swimming pools.
You can use my scooter or my bike if you want. When it is really hot it is really refreshing to have a little splash in the river on my terrain.
In 5 quarters of an hour with the car you are in a French ski area which is called; Super Besse.
