    Description

    Hello there ! My name is Esther. I bought a farmhouse and some land in total need of renovation in 2021 and am hoping to turn it into a little princess palace surrounded by nature. I have the architect plans, I have the permit, I have yet to find an available builder in the area. Everything has been cleared out and cleaned up, the water and electrics are off, and now I really need some help! I have a house up the road to host with a proper shower, bed and warms meals. The existing house is in need of complete repair so it’s not pretty and it’s not for the faint of heart. I live in a beautiful area with opportunities to go canoeing, hiking, and wild-water swimming. The elements here are wonderful.
    I have no television or wifi. I will need 2-3 weeks advanced notice of your arrival. Thank you.

    I am about 90 minutes from the Pyrenees for mountain hikes. We have wonderful rivers and lakes here to swim in or to go canoeing and lots of pretty little villages or town markets to visit. Summer time here is gorgeous.
