Seller’s Terrefort comments:
Why southwest France?
“ Our friends suggested southwest France as they were from there and love the area…. They described the open agricultural fields, the delicious food and the beautiful forest of les Landes…. When I came to look at the house it was in August and the area was blooming with sunflowers…. It was Magnificent !! SW France is less populated than Provence, less touristy and crowded, and has a very authentic feel to it… There’s lots of history around Terrefort, the nearest town is Castle Jaloux, … And for my husband’s business trips, we are very well situated, conveniently located, between Bordeaux & Toulouse.”
Why we bought the property in the early 1990’s?
“We were living in London at the time with 4 young children looking for a ‘family spot’… Very good friends suggested southwest (SW) France and we fell in love with this 16th century Chateau,”Terrefort”. It reminded my husband of childhood memories of the Italian Villas he visited with his mum…We have spent all these years renovating the chateau including building a 3 bedroom house for my father-in-law where he lived for 20 years.
The children are grown now and live all over the world and have their own lives, but we all have spent many happy years together in Terrefort.
Now it’s time to move on and hopefully pass it on to a family who can enjoy this beautiful property as much as we have.”
