Chateau estate and eco village development – private ownership share offer

Outline permission is in place for an eco hamlet to be created, on this fully restored, 17^th century chateau estate in rural France. The property lies in the heart of 12 hectares/30 acres of fields, parkland and forest in the midst of quiet, deep-green nature, surrounded by hills & mountains, forests & lakes in the eastern Dordogne, one of most unspoilt regions of France.

The concept is to create a learning centre and eco village. There is currently outline planning permission for approximately 12 houses. Site plans are ready and house design ideas prepared.
