Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
We are a professional couple from Melbourne and our passions are food, travel, photography and vintage cars. I had dreamt of owning a house in in a lovely little french village since I was a child and travelled to France with my parents. Then by chance an opportunity to buy our lovely village house came up last year and we went for it. We decided to do it earlier than planned and to rent it out for holiday accomodation so that other people could enjoy our slice of heaven too. It has been a challenge to get it up and running from the other side of the world however we have loved every minute of it. It is now fully set up with eveything for a great holiday and we have a lovely english housekeeper who manages the house for us.
Why the Owner Chose Saint-Sulpice-les-Feuilles
We had travelled to France many times and had visited most departments. We love the Luberon and also Dordogne however we felt they had been spoilt a little by development and tourism. We wanted to get the authentic french experience and found it in Limousin. We think it is truely the undiscovered part of France. There is beautiful countryside, great markets, fresh local produce (that the restaurants in the area take advantage of) and it is only a few hours from Paris.
The Unique Benefits of this Village House
One of the criteria for buying our property was that it needed to be in a 'living' village. Meaning - one that had life and included a boulagerie, a grocery store, a butcher and other shops. Our village has all of this and more - it is a bustling little village all year round and doesn't just come to life in August when everyone is on holidays.
The other redeeming factors for our house in that it is located in a lush part of France that has lovely lakes, rolling green hills, beautiful medieval hilltop villages, chateaux and Limousin (the capital) is only 30 minutes down the freeway which means that the international airport is very close.
