Overview

• The Pearsons purchased a French 'village' in Sainte Segros, including a 1600s farmhouse, five outbuildings, and two hectares of land, for €80,000.
• After two years of legal processes, they received the keys in December 2024 and plan to move in July 2025 to begin renovations.
• The property lacks basic amenities like heating, a toilet, and modern plumbing; the couple aims to make one room habitable within six months while living in a caravan.
• They have allocated £100,000 for the initial restoration phase but anticipate costs will surpass this budget as they install essential infrastructure.
• Long-term plans include converting outbuildings into Airbnb rentals and guesthouses to generate income while preserving the site's historical character.
