SO MUCH POTENTIAL

Price: €240,000 Size: 3 Bed, 2 Bath. 📍 Location: Réalmont, France

This property, right in the heart of a town just 20 minutes south of Albi, is packed with possibilities. Whether you're thinking of a bed and breakfast, a restaurant, an art gallery, or a spacious family home, this place has the flexibility to become whatever you envision. The current owners have already tried it out as a pop-up restaurant and Airbnb, so the groundwork is there.

The rooms are large and filled with light, giving the space a grand, almost regal feel. The salon on the ground floor stands out with its rare early 1800s Parisian wallpaper, adding a unique historical touch. The entrance hall features a grand staircase that leads to two additional floors, offering even more space to play with. There’s also a small courtyard in the middle of the building, perfect for a bit of outdoor relaxation. While the property does need some work to make it comfortable for year-round living, the sheer potential of this place makes it an exciting canvas for whatever ideas you have in mind.

Another charming farmhouse has entered the villa. Fresh from the 19th century, this stone farmhouse near Castiglione del Lago is the definition of a good deal.

Outside, the fenced garden is filled with olive trees, flowers, and a vegetable garden. We are drooling over the rectangular pool, gorgeous shubbery, a hot tub, and a barbecue area for outdoor dining. Recently renovated, the house retains its rustic charm with modern comforts like air conditioning and solar power. It's move-in ready and ideal as a peaceful retreat with easy access to major Tuscan and Umbrian cities like Perugia and Siena. As my mother would say, ‘it’s turn-key.’
