I saw a piece about a number of houses for sale in some of the more rural parts of France, including Brittany. I loved taking the Eurostar from London to Paris and watching the wonderful country houses flash by. I would take any one of these.
This house has two bedrooms and is a 20-minute drive from the coastal town of Vannes, and 10 minutes from the market town of Malestroit. It’s €117,000 ($164,000) plus notaire’s fees. I love the blue on the shutters! WOW!
This spacious four-bedroom former convent near Puy l’Evêque, on the market for £376,415 ($614,860), would have cost 20% more two years ago. It has its own pool too. Check out the niche with the statue to the right of the front door. Too bad about the cheezy plastic furniture.
This two-bedroom house with a small garden may need quite a bit of tender loving renovation, but has had its price cut to €50,020 ($70,529) plus notaire’s fees. It’s located in a small rural hamlet in central Brittany.
I would love to get my hands on the last one...if it had a sizeable garden and some trees!!
ReplyDeleteI'd take any of them, but I'm partial to the first. It looks manageable and the price is right--and you had me at the blue shutters.
ReplyDeleteI am with Karen on the blue shutters but all of them are fabulous. My husband and I did a big drive through here a few years ago and it is gorgeous. What a beautiful post!
ReplyDeleteI'm crazy, but I want the last one. I love central Brittany and its forests, and the unfixed up nature of it. Assuming that the inside has been left traditional.
ReplyDeletethe last one has me all over it!
ReplyDeleteI wanted the last one, but I came too late. I'll have to settle for the the third.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why but the second....Have a wonderful weekend, xv.
ReplyDeletethe next to last with the plastic furniture - toss that right away! but the house is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDo I ALWAYS agree with Joni?
ReplyDeleteYES!
The third for me as well. Plastic furniture must go.
Love the surround at the front door, the niche, the long shutters, and the long lines of the roof.
Which is your favorite?
Hard to choose - they are all great in their own way.
ReplyDeletePerhaps we bloggers should all get together and purchase one for a blogger retreat!
My favorite is the last one & the cheapest one at that! My bags are packed. Ohh..what a dream. I think my husband is already headed for the airport! Great post :D
ReplyDeleteProbably the third one down...I love the shutters with the french doors and the idea of a pool! These are so beautiful...thanks for this post!
ReplyDeleteThe fact that any of these are remotely affordable is something I am not supposed to know. But if I did know it, then the Brittany one...
ReplyDeleteBrittany, then I could tailor it to my delights!!!!
ReplyDeleteNumber Two, please!!
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness! This post is almost torturous. I want to rush out and buy any of them. My favorite though is the second. I love it's size and potential.
