Location:
A rural homestead in central France, within 10 minutes ride from the next small town, 20 minutes from the next bigger town and 30 minutes drive from a city.
At 360m elevation.

House(s):
Two cottages, built side to side around 1880, now connected with a light corridor.
One of the houses has been renovated in the past 2.5 years (new roof, transformation of hay attic to living space, open kitchen with a rocket mass heater, a cool storage room for produce and fridge). The other is in its original state, with a good roof and an attic.

Attached to the original-state house is a big shed with two tool sheds and an open attic with a new oak floor.
One side of the roof of the shed needs a renovation, all the needed materials are on site. The other side has already been done and is in a good shape.

Attached to the renovated house is a woodshed that we've re-built entirely.


On the 3000m2 property you further find:
- an outbuilding containing; an old one-horse stable (currently chicken coop), a garden shed and a small sheep shed.
- a mobile home transformed into a Tiny House with its own terrace. Needs finishing.
- a 19m2 greenhouse built with wood and repurposed windows at the most optimal spot on the land for it, sheltered from winds and catching winter sun.
- in front of the greenhouse is a pond with fish and pond plants.
- adjacent to the houses is another pond with fish and pond plants for gray water treatment.
- an open carport, currently used to stock hay and wood.
- an old orchard with cherries, plums, apples, peaches, pears, quince, grapes and berries. Walnuts and hazelnuts. New fruit trees planted; mulberries, apple, nashi pear, pawpaw.
- a polyculture vegetable garden with hugel beds.

Animals:
We have a flock of free range chicken and three female ouessant sheep (ecological grass mowers and pets) that could remain on the property for the next owner, should they wish to take them over.

About the renovation:
When we bought the place, it was in the state of early 1900's. We're still renovating.
As the house upgrades, the price upgrades.
We're ready to hand the project over to the next habitant.
