    Descripción

    We are a couple in our 50’s, who after a hectic life in London running a successful restaurant and hairdressing salons decided during Covid to relocate to SW France, situated an hour and 15 minutes from Toulouse and Bergerac airports.

    We live here with my Mum (she has her own apartment in a barn), our two very lively dogs and a barn cat.

    We have various buildings and lots of land. We are currently kept busy renovating the farmhouse, managing the forests, building up firewood stocks, working in the vegetable garden and just general upkeep on a property of this size.

    We work hard and the work is physical but once it’s done you will be able to relax in our beautiful surroundings, the walks from the door are numerous and wonderful or you can chill by the pool, in the hot tub or the hammock.

    We are very rural with nothing in walking distance, so if you don’t have a car then you will be here enjoying the nature, pool, and peace and quiet. The nearest village is 12 minutes drive away with the basics and a market every Saturday.

    We cook every day and would welcome help with that - we eat meat and fish.

    We are non-smokers, if you smoke we request it is outside.

    I speak English and some French, my husband speaks English and Danish.

    We are looking forward to welcoming people who are like-minded and have a good attitude and commitment to the task they undertake and can then have time to appreciate the wonderful location.
