Much higher price than I anticipated considering the location in France. Not cheap in my estimation. Thanks for the video.
I think it’s a very popular area for French and non-French vacation.
I understand this house is now under offer.
Considering being only one bathroom and being rural France seems a bit high. Would have to add a bathroom or half bath, which is gonna cost. I do love the location near the water, barring any flooding problems.
Way higher than it’s worth. $100k tops! And yes, it’s not furnished, which means they will literally strip the kitchen of all appliances. Cheers!
I heard it’s under contract, so someone thought it was worth it. 🤷♂️
Pre Covid it probably would have been 100k or less but since then prices seem to have skyrocketed.
Really, you need to go house shopping in Melbourne Australia to see what higher than it’s worth really is.
@@splashpit Adelaide is even outstripping Melbourne for house prices now.
You put together this video so thoughtfully - it helps viewers like me understand the location, what living in the town and area can be like, and what the house has to offer. THANK YOU!
Thanks for saying that. I love cheap places in Europe. But if I had one I’d spend most of my waking hours NOT there.
Adventure awaits! 😎🤩
@@traveltirement do you mean you'd be out and about, exploring?
@@akd1881 Yes. I'd be kayaking, biking around the countryside, visiting wineries, walking along the river, etc. I'd of course spend some time at the house. But there's so much to see and do!
Just came across your channel, really interesting and informative, not that I'm looking to buy since I already live here and only 20 minutes away from this location so can confirm your facts and points of interest are spot on so thank you for an extremely absorbing vlog. I shall continue to watch with great interest.
THanks so much for that! I try to do my best. I have been to the Dordogne, so I knew something about this general area. It's amazing!
And please let me know if I ever get things wrong. I'm trying to be as helpful as possible. 😀👍
It costs more than I expected. Love the details of your vlog.
Thanks so much! 😊
I think it's a pretty good value for the area. Not super cheap though. 😎
This is a wonderful find. So beautiful and affordable.
Thanks for watching!
You are my favorite RUclips site. We have similar tastes. I would love to have a small place in Italy AND France. I admit Italy is offering better prices now! I love anything beside a river….
Thanks for the kind words!
Yes I’m a huge fan of a place by a stream or river.
Higher than expected. Grazie da Texas come sempre
Perfect location this area is beautiful ! And the stone home is incredible.
It really is!
This is a gorgeous yet humble , stone cottage with all the charm of a time gone by . I would paint dreamy impressionist scenes and have open house yard sales in the summer . just for fun . dress in period clothing with an Old Victrola playing old French recordings .
I’d love to see that! 🤩
Loving your new videos, Tommy! I see what looks like a map of nc in the background of your videos….I live in sc….
Yep! Thanks for watching.
We’re in Hillsborough NC near Chapel Hill. 😁
Yep, we’re on n Hillsborough near Chapel Hill.
Thanks for watching!
It is a great area, we spent 6 months just up the road in Puy le'Veque. Great malbec wine and plenty of good restaurants. Praysacc has a brilliant farmers market. You can get a train to Cahors, (which is well worth a visit) then a short bus ride will get you to Castle Franc. The people are so friendly and as stated in the vlog they work to live not the other way round.
Thanks for your perspective. It's always nice to hear validation of what I find.
FYI I did another video on 2 properties in Puy l'Eveque!
stunning! but the fees and taxes might be the joy killer. Thanks for the great walking through beautiful the French country side
Just something to budget for to live your travel dreams!
Beautiful! Thanks, Tommy!
Cheers Marsha! Thanks for checking in. 🙏😎
Higher than I expected. But a beautiful place.
Thanks for watching!
I cycled France for about seven months about six years ago with two children in tow so we eat out most every night so would have to seek out the areas families gathered in the evenings to eat and relax usually on greenways at rivers , if people think it’s boring in France they have no idea and have probably never traveled outside the tourist trap bubble.
I wish I could get an EU passport so I could buy something in France.
I'm getting hip surgery before long. But after that, I'm planning a bike trip in France.
So many great routes!
Also, you don't need to have an EU passport to buy in France. There are no restrictions on buying a home.
Just depends on how long you want to stay. Then you may need a visa (vs just a passport).
Thanks for commenting!
@@traveltirement what I should have said was live in France permanently not just the six months I’m allowed then exit and wait another six months.
@@splashpit Gotcha! If you get your visa, you'll have to let me know how it goes.
omg I absolutely love this property. wow.
Unfortunately this one is under offer I heard 🤷♂️
~$30,101 - ~$86,000 30%
~$86,001 - ~$185,000 41%
That's the tax rate for US citizens in France, if you report in that band and are a tax resident with a long term stay visa....
Just to be clear for others reading:
Like the USA , France has a progressive tax system.
0% → $0 to $12,360 of income
11% → $12,361 to $31,500 of income
30% → $31,501 to $90,100 of income
41% → $90,101 to 193,815 of income
45% → Income above $193,815
(Dollar amounts are with today's exchange rate)
So if you make $90,100 of taxable income, you'd pay 0% on the first $12,360, then 11% on the next $19,139, and 30% on the final $58,599.
→ Which is a total tax of $19,684.99 or 21.85%.
Which seems fair.
Like your very clear overview and details!
Thank you kindly!
Looks great , awesome it's walkable to bars and restaurants ❤️ . For me personally it's a snore bore for vineyards. Anything for us adrenaline junkies ?? Think moto cross , ski 🎿, snow board , ice climbing, mountain climbing rock climbing ❤️ ! I do all that is what I'm looking for
I just got exhausted reading that. 😂
I do know there are lots of adventure sports in France. I just haven’t researched it.
@traveltirement lol
😅 I'm just a active person , I like action sports ❤️ . I'm good 👍 to drive to locations for action sports , about, 2hrs max in car 🚗 👌. Love your videos 😁
If I could I would buy both!
Do it!
Does "furnished" in France mean what it means in Germany? I know that unfinished in Germany means no light fixtures, no kitchen cabinets or appliances. In the US, unfinished generally means basic window treatments like shades and blinds remain (and most curtains, too), along with all of the ceiling lights and sconces, the built-in kitchen cabinets and appliances. (Free-standing refrigerators and stoves are moved with the former owner.)
I believe in Italy and France it means with furniture and furnishings. But don’t hold me to that! 🤷♂️
You are mixing up "unfurnished" and "unfinished"
@@redwoods7370 Which is which?
We've been thinking about Spain, but France also looks interesting. Nice property, but 139K for 70m2 seems steep.
I agree on a per sqm there are cheaper places. But with everything around it, I’d mostly just be sleeping there. 😁
Plus excellent rental opportunity 👍
The land space is 70 m2, the living space is 110 m2 it is very pretty and has a good location and offers are always possible.
@@helgeron4655 THanks for replying for me!
Wow! Just started watching your videos. This is a perfect vacation (or 2rd/3rd) home for someone active like me (running/hiking trails, bike path, river activities, wine/food) but with beautiful quiet surroundings. I just need to do more research. My ultimate goal is to have a place like this in France/Italy, and Southeast Asia (so underrated) in addition to USA for when I retire. Please continue showing more of these kinds of properties.
I was thinking between $150 and $200, so it's the low end of what I was thinking.
If you've saved up a nice nest egg for your retirement, that's a good buy!
If you're still working, doesn't look like there's many jobs in the area unless you want to be cook, or waiter, or work for a winery making minimum wage.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@traveltirement Thanks! I'm just wondering about the legal issues of buying a house in France and living there? Are there long-term visa requirements and whatnot to live there permanently?
@@fredashay Yes, to stay more than 90 days every 180 days, you'll need a visa of some type. French requirements are not bad.
90 days or less per 180, just need a passport.
No restrictions on buying property. i.e. You don't need a visa, citizenship or even a passport. But I assume you'd want to actually visit it!
I love the house and the area. Everything in the extended region around Toulouse is fantastic in my mind. The only negative for me is that this area is not well served by rail and is thus car dependent. As far as price, I was expecting around €110,000 so it's a bit high.
Agree about the lack of rails. Ironically the bike greenway runs along an old rail line in stretches.
The property has been on the market for a while, so there’s definitely room to negotiate.
Thanks for watching!
@@traveltirement Tis ironic that the railway I would seek became a wonderful green path. I still passed this house along to a friend who is way more car-centric than I am. She loves the house.
@@hikingwithsquirrel Terrific. Thanks for sharing!
$$ IS much less than I was thinking.. thank you 🎉😊
And there are LOTS of places like this all over France. 🇫🇷
Nice little place. I'd use it for a lock and leave to use for a couple of months a year. Maybe have friends use if for vacation for other times.
Yep, it’s a great area!
Quite nice🎉 THANK YOU 😊
Thank you too!
Higher!
Still available. So there’s room to negotiate!
Great video I just subscribed wonderful spot…thank you🙏
Thank you 🙏
Awesome property!
I thought so too!
I was expecting $70,00 US Dollars. My Goodness!!!🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
This is a very popular part of France!
Things are cheaper there, but not crazy 😜
i guessed $150k/ $175k looks to me well worth it.
Me too. Not the cheapest per sqm but what a great spot!
Here is my question about this very cute house! What is the WATER PIPES made of? If they R NOT PVC that Willow trees roots will go straight into the pipes and this house will need to be replumbed! Very expensive! 🤷♀️ Just sayin
That would be a great Q for the agent.
My understanding is this property is now under contract.
But you could still ask!
thank you- very appealing- but couldn't you add the price after mentioning it in the title? - I tried to open the RE listing- and it says no longer available - from 2 days ago ? Anyway, nice property.
That video was published on September 2nd. I believe the house was under contract within a few days.
FYI I’m not the agent. But thanks for watching!
There are tons more properties in this area for sale.
I like castle 🏰 franke
Me too!
wow
Yes wow 🤩
As to the price, given that you asked, I do not mean to sound mean when I say it is the usual inflated 'RUclips' estate-agent/investor figure - about double what a normal person would consider reasonable.
Such 'entrepreneurial' folk decimated America, crippled Britain, went on to kill Portugal and now are getting to work on France. We poor mortals desperately trying to get the resources together for a nice retirement nest get left in the business/corporate dust.
At some point it needs to be remembered that houses are *homes* not investments.
Thanks for watching!
A few points:
• I live in the US where real estate is super expensive now
• I am not an agent nor do I have any connections to them
• I think way more homes should be built to lower prices and give people options
• a house can be a “home” but it is also an asset that someone can buy, sell, renovate, let crumble or whatever they want within the laws

@@traveltirement Always good to get a reply when what you had to say was a bit close to being of harder edge than is pleasant.
Aye, I realised where you were from and that you were not a 'professional' in the sense of being an actual estate agent. No worries on that score.
I was not having a dig at yourself directly, just the general tendency for the broad reach of the RUclips arm to lead to vendors using it to inflate prices to ridiculous degree because there *are* rich marks out there who can get scammed for a few hundred thousand and not even care.
It's the rest of us who get left out in the cold as the market accelerates into the stratosphere.
Prices in Portugal, for example, are triple what they were a couple of years back and that is directly down to American's, with more money than sense, being conned into paying way over the odds because they are used to their domestic housing market.
Portuguese housing is very low standard in the main but that was something that could be lived with when a decent sized house with land was 30k. You could knock it down and rebuild it properly for that money. Now the vendors are charging First World prices for Second World quality (or worse).
I chuckle at myself ... I clearly have a bee in my bonnet this evening ... I shall go eat and chill out :blush:
My apologies for being such an uninvited and ill-humoured, guest :O
@@dallassukerkin6878 Not at all! I enjoy conversations in good faith.
It is "social" media after all! 😁
I want that house 😊
It’s under offer I heard 🙁
Charming
Thanks for checking it out!
Is it subject to possible flooding.
I guess it’s POSSIBLE, but the river is controlled by dams and locks, so I assume they have it mostly tamed.
Are these deals FSBO with seller financing options? Please reply asap.Thanks!
Most are through an agent. There are some by owners, but not super common. You can get a mortgage in France, but the minimum is $350-$400k.
@traveltirement 350 tp 400? The property in this video is only 150 k
@@garthmorgan8607 Yes, but banks in France won't do mortgages that low. The property has to be more expensive.
You would need to buy this one in cash or ask the seller to finance.
@traveltirement thanks Tommy. seller financing is the best option. If you have a source at that price point with FSBO leads, please email me to the address I signed up with to your newsletter. Thanks!
Who wants a house with no garden 👎👎
Thanks for watching!
It’s still for sale lol
Please tell if this is still available and the cost to own it. TKZ

@traveltirement as Americans that's excellent price..
hi are you in france?
No I’m still in the US. Heading to France in July.
@@traveltirement hi have you decided where you will live?
Not yet. I need to do more exploring.
Places I could see myself:
• Abruzzo Italy
• Charente France
• Puglia Italy
• Lot France
• Piedmont Italy
• Jura Mtns France
Too many choices!
I was $231.00 to low
This close 👌
😂😂😂
Too high
The price has come down some. I think it’s a good value for the location.
I’d love to live on a river and next to a bike greenway!
Beautiful except for that whole Macron thing !
I hope you’re not letting a single politician keep you from living your life 😬🤯
higher and not a great location except for the river, being next to an ugly bridge isn't helpful either
This is a great location. The property sold days after this video came out.
It’s a super popular area for vacation and retirement in France.
I think the bridge is great!
Funny to see that you never visited a place. It is all virtual knowledge. With all the mistakes and superficiality that come with it.
I have been to France 3 times and this area once. We stayed in Sarlat for 4 days and canoed on the Dordogne river which is in the north part of the Lot department.
We also drove to see many of the small country villages.
