Quite a lot of money for what it is, I think... Don't know what the prices are like around there. But you are right - I'd love a place like that, too!

Better in Scotland, though. Don't want the hassle of learning to understand yet another language.

For the amount of land it's not too bad for the money.

They do speak English in Wales by the way.

My friends recently sold their house in France with 13 acres of land which included a sustainable wood, lake and swimming pool, fully rennovated 3 bed house, 3 bedroom gite and a studio for the same in euros!

I have a friend who has a piece of land 3 acres with planning permission for a house, and its own woods. The asking price is 110,000 euros, but is negotiable. If anyone wants more info and photos, PM me.

now that is nice!. love the remoteness of it all to be honest.....i'm a hermit in the making!.

nice setting but I cannot believe someone would take pics of a place in that state

surely each room cleared of junk & cleaned would have been better

no problem if not refitted/decorated thats not a problem ect but holy mo its abysmal *presentation* in my opinion

f you are asking for 250k you need to swoosh a broom around first & have an empty clean space.

It's near the place where The Only Gay in the Village lives!

Property doesn't do it for me, ugly house and what a mess. Don't like that kind of countryside either, too barren.

Interesting, but I reckon it would be pretty bleak in winter!

That's what I mean - they do speak English, of sorts, here, too!

I have been to Wales, and I loved it - nothing against the dialect, either. As long as they don't all switch to Welsh as soon as there is a foreigner in the vicinity... I was amazed at how much Welsh I heard spoken in Bangor!

Er, well I might be alone on this BUT there is a strong reason for selfsufficientish being the urban guide to self sufficiency I could not take on somewhere like that as I would feel so alone.

I need people around me. To make somewhere like that in the middle of a city would be my ideal home. I loved living in Bath in many ways as you could walk around the middle of a city and see greenery.
