  Description

  Togehter with my French wife Carole and our dog Corben we found an abandoned Chateau close to Bordeaux, fell in love and renovated it during 6 years. The exact location is close to Bergerac, a beautiful city in the heart of vineyards in the Dordogne. We are looking for an open minded person interested in giving a final touch to the place in order to sell various apartments to cool people from all over the world. We have housing for friends and families, where you will live for free. It would be great to give a hand at keeping the park in shape, clearing excess stock, cooking from time to time and help organising our Art And Automobile days end of August 2025.
