Chaudes-Aigues, France

You outta be grateful this is in a spa town, because your neck is going to HURT from gawking at your ceilings all day.

Stone built house in the centre of a town in the south of the Cantal, famous for it's hot thermal springs. A large entrance hall gives access to the ground floor rooms which currently form two separate flats. A grand staircase leads to the second floor, again divided into two flats. The third floor is a large attic which could be converted. Both floors could easily be redefined to make one big family house. There are a number of original features, such as painted ceilings and woodwork, terra cotta and ciment tiled floors, original oak parquet and decorative chimney surrounds. Behind the house is an enclosed walled courtyard with a covered storage area. In need of some work, to restore it to it's former glory, the house would make a good rental property in a town which attracts tourists all year round. Saint Flour is 20 minutes away and Clermont Ferrand airport 1.5 hours.

Sundøya, Norway

1 400 000 kr
($149,744 USD)


This one is labeled as an "old abandoned small farm in a fantastic location" and well, that basically seals the deal for me. It's on acreage. The inside is a time capsule. And the views are gorgeous!

The property is well located on Sundøya in the municipality of Leirfjord with great views of the sea and the surrounding mountains. The property has good sun conditions. It is a short distance to the hiking area whether it be for recreation, nature experiences, trim, boat trips or for picking berries then it is close by. Here you can enjoy the Helgeland coast all year round. Charming small farm with lots of building stock. The entire property must be considered a restoration object, but has a lot of potential..

Mani, Greece

€105,000
($118,982 USD)


Take me away!

A charming environment with lovely sea views in every direction provides the setting for this lovely property. An ideal location for those seeking peaceful ambiences and rhythms. It is situated on the boundary of a picturesque Mani village, which has tavernas and a mini-market within walking distance of the property. 10 minutes drive to the beautiful coast with its amazing beaches & scenery.

It is unusual for a house in this village to come onto the market and it is therefore a unique opportunity to purchase a traditional village house with excellent potential for restoration. Although the house is in need of some restoration & modernisation it could be lived in while the work was undertaken. The house comes with a large walled fertile plot of land, more than 1000m2, that has olive, lemon & fig trees and fantastic sea views. As it is in the village itself, you can extend the property, if you wish, although if you turn the two ground floor rooms and the storage areas into bedrooms, you might not need to.
