We found Beaupre whilst living and working in Eastern Europe in our last roles. We had thought of purchasing a lovely French Chateau to ease into a more peaceful mid-life but with the changes afoot in Britain we decided returning back to Australia was far more sensible. We drew up a wishlist... acreage with enough space to establish small sustainable business ventures, historic property, close to or rather on the water (our boat in our own bay), a rural setting but close enough to a city so Kate could go to school and we could still fly-out as needed for consultancy jobs, stunning views, somewhere to grown one's own produce, a good climatic environment... the list went on! We scoured the entirety of Australia on realestate.com.au and Beaupre ticked every box. The hardest bit was convincing the real-estate agent that we were genuine and they were not just receiving spam emails.
