Description
Hello to you,
My goal is to awaken and develop my newly bought little now renovated farm on at least 5 ha privatly owned land and vineyard. I (45 year old, French/English/Dutch mother of 9 year old son) own a lovely villa with pool in the Languedoc South of France, surrounded by vineyards. My farm is at 15 minutes away from my house. I currently own 5 horses and I breed with, beautiful black Spanish Menorcan horses. I have profound dressage and natural horsemanship skills. The farm is really remote, ideal for horse riding. Developping this little gem, with ecologically conscious ideas where artistic creativity is welcome. Looking to share your experience, knowledge and skills in developping this little paradise into a farm with training horses, amazing animals, lovely vegetable garden, natural pool & solar energy? Living this journey with the help of nicely cooked meals, playing music, dance and other art.

Accommodation
There are several accommodation possibilities (more luxury at the villa or more independant at the farm).
You will have your own (en suite) bedroom with private bathroom in the villa, a (shared) room on the mezzanine or a sweet campervan at the farm with more privacy. The farm has brandnew bathrooms, toilets and kitchen.
Looking forward to an outdoor kitchen, dry toilets and showers still to create.
