  • Description

    Description

    We moved to St Michel in Gers Dec 2020, the house we bought had been empty for over 4 years , the fields and woodland is very overgrown, we moved here for lots of land for our horses which we breed and a quiet rural way life you will need to know how to use a brush cutter and a chain saw to make a success of your time with us. First availability February 2024. We would prefer couples as we can leave you to your work and we can get on with the running of the business.
