            <title>16 Acre Equestrian/Smallholding  Brittany France</title>
            <link>http://www.greenshifters.co.uk/for_sale/967_16_Acre_Equestrian_Smallholding_Brittany_France</link>
            <description>&lt;img src='http://www.greenshifters.co.uk/./pictures/listings/th_medium_967_32.jpg'; align='left'; height='90'&gt;Large farmhouse with 16 acres of land for sale in Brittany France with outbuildings, stabling and income potential.  Beautiful rural setting with excellent out riding. Yet not far from the town of Carhaix Plougeur and all its shopping and leisure facilities and in the other direction the picturesque town of Callac.  And just over an hours drive to the north, south or west coasts of Brittany.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Brief Description of the House.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The original farmhouse dates from around the turn of the century and benefits from a large modern extension.  (There is still some minor internal finishing off work in the old part of the house to do).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

First Floor&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Entrance porch leads to large hall way with stairs leading to second floor.
On the right is the original kitchen now used as a utility room and on the left of the hallway is the downstairs toilet and shower room, housing the hot water boiler.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

From here is a further room, currently used as a studio but could be used a forth very large bedroom.  The hallway leads to the new part of the house where you will find a very large kitchen dining area and the lounge with large wood burning stove.  There are patio doors leading to the garden.  The kitchen is modern and well equipped with laminate flooring.  From this room is the doorway and stairs leading to the cave (garage).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Second floor&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The stairs lead to a large landing and on the left are two double bedrooms and a small box room (used as an office).  Following the landing round to the right (now in the new part of the house) there is a large open area which house the owners books and computer with broadband internet connection.  From here is the door to the large bathroom which has a wc and wash hand basin with separate shower and a large corner bath, velux window with views over the garden and fields beyond.  The master bedroom is also to be found here, very large and airy and with lovely far reaching views over the surrounding countryside.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Ground Floor&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

This area provides garaging with sliding doors.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Outside&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Opposite the side of the house is a wooden garage or workshop.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Within the courtyard area is an old cottage which in recent years was used as a very successful horse feed and tack shop, but with planning could be converted into a lovely little gite giving letting income.  Besides this is a metal shed currently used as the log store.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

From the courtyard is the path to the large 4 acre field directly behind the garden where there is a large barn (hangar) and large field shelter suitable for four horses.  The barn has full planning to be enclosed and to put loose boxes in should the buyer wish, but at present is enclosed on three sides and houses the tractor and various agricultural equipment, which will be included in the sale, Including a square baler to make your own organic hay.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

There have been no chemical used on the land for over 10 years. The pasture is very good quality.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; 

To the side of this field is the remaining land including 4 acres of mature native woodland, which provides an endless supply of wood for the log burner.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The bottom pasture has a river boundary.  There is also a small separate piece of popular woodland right next to the river.  These areas were often planted by French farmers as a form of inheritance for their children and can either be harvested at sometime providing revenue or left as a conservation area.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The Farmhouse sits in its own land and is not overlooked by any other property.  There are neighbours in the small hamlet 4 French and 1 English holiday home.  All the neighbours are friendly.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

This is a very special part of Brittany and it is one of the few areas where time really has stood still and things are still done the way they used to do them years ago.  The local farmers are all organic farmers and still use horses for some of the tasks on the farm.  The countryside is unspoilt and there is excellent out riding directly from the property.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Mains electricity and water connected and private septic tank drainage (fully compliant).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

For more information and photos please email with your enquires.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Would also consider an exchange for similar property in the UK with at least 3 to 5 acres and a cash adjustment if necessary (either way) Cornwall Devon Preferred.

            <title>Cortijo Farm in Stunning Alpujarras, Spain</title>
            <link>http://www.greenshifters.co.uk/for_sale/965_Cortijo_Farm_in_Stunning_Alpujarras_Spain</link>
            <description>&lt;img src='http://www.greenshifters.co.uk/./pictures/listings/th_medium_965_32.jpg'; align='left'; height='90'&gt;FOR SALE: CORTIJO FARM IN STUNNING ALPUJARRAS SPAIN  (Reduced price)
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
 
LOCATION
&lt;br&gt;
The Cortijo is one of three farm houses located in the Contraviesa on the A348 between Torvizcon and Cadiar. A popular area for walking, cycling or just relaxing with a drink and tapas.
&lt;br&gt;
•	Malaga Airport 90 miles
&lt;br&gt;
•	Almeria Airport 65 miles
&lt;br&gt;
•	Granada Airport 60 miles
&lt;br&gt;
•	La Rabita (Coast) 30 miles
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
 
LOCAL INFORMATION
&lt;br&gt;
This absolutely charming Cortijo is situated near the village of Torvizcon which is a tranquil village of the Granada Alpujarra region where one can enjoy their delicious food, locally made hand crafts &amp; the stunning natural countryside.
It is also located near the village of Cadiar which is a lovely Alpujarran village with several public facilities such as a Primary &amp; Secondary school, Police Station, Health Centre, various banks, shops, bars &amp; restaurants, a public swimming pool &amp; children’s play area.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
THE HOUSE
&lt;br&gt;
On entering this magnificent house one finds a large hallway. To the left of this hallway is a sizeable family bathroom which has a laundry room. Further down the hallway is the entrance to a significantly large split level kitchen which has a dining area &amp; a cozy living area equipped with a wood burner. Towards the end of the hallway is a spacious bedroom with a dressing area &amp; there is also another room which is currently being used as the third bedroom. To the right of this hallway is a doorway which leads to an enormous fully productive wine Bodega with 3 large wine vats. This Bodega also has its own exit door to the outside.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The hallway also has a staircase which leads to the second floor of the property. On entering this capacious second floor one finds a delightful living area with a wood burner &amp; double doors to a vast roof terrace which has spectacular views of the surrounding land and mountains. This terrace is a delightful place to spend sunny afternoons. Off the lounge area there is also a double bedroom &amp; a dining room. From the dining room there is a doorway which leads to an immense room which is called a Lagar which is used to process wine. This area could easily be converted into a garage, or walled patio, alternatively it could be converted into extra living space as it too has its own access. Next to the Lagar is a very large store room which again could be converted into extra living space as it is structurally situated next door to the living area, so a knock through is a possibility.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Attached to the side of the house there are stables (approx 100m2) which are connected to mains water &amp; solar electricity, as is the entire property. This area could be converted into a separate self contained apartment if wished as it has its own entrance. This property also has a telephone line &amp; Internet connection.
The house is powered by a good Solar system, so no more electric bills.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
This property is fully legal with all papers, registrations, Escritura (Deeds), land registry certificate and taxes paid up to date
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
LAND
&lt;br&gt;
The land consists of 30 Hectares (75 acres), the three main crops being Almonds, Figs and Vines all traditionally farmed and managed by two people, three dogs and a land rover. The crops are sold locally. There is also several types of fruit trees, walnuts and a large Saffron bed.
Amongst the land there is a large ruin close to mains water, and with the right permissions another dwelling could be built
No special skills or prior knowledge is required for this type of farming which is currently farmed without the use of any chemicals.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Alpujarras Await. 
&lt;br&gt;
Wake up each morning on your own farm in the peace and beauty of the Alpujarras in Southern Spain – Low Investment HUGE satisfaction.

            <title>6 Bed Rural Property</title>
            <link>http://www.greenshifters.co.uk/for_sale/958_6_Bed_Rural_Property</link>
            <description>&lt;img src='http://www.greenshifters.co.uk/./pictures/listings/th_medium_958_32.jpg'; align='left'; height='90'&gt;Rural house with 210 m2 floor area and large terrace (52 m2) with lovely views of the hills. It is situated in 2.5 hectares of orchard and chestnut woodland right on the edge of the pretty and traditional village of Fuenteheridos.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Unlike many rural properties in the area, the house has many modern conveniences including mains electricity, mains water, and fixed line telephone with reliable broadband internet access. Downstairs: large living \ dining room, kitchen with breakfast area, utility area, separate WC, bathroom &amp; WC. Upstairs via main staircase: 5 bedrooms and 1 bathroom; separate access to large bedroom with en-suite shower room &amp; WC. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
An ideal property for self-sufficiency, the land benefits from 2 electrically-pumped wells, a large water reservoir which doubles as a swimming pool in summer and a watercourse fed by the village spring or “fuente”. The orchard contains productive fruit (mainly pear and apple)and nut (walnut, hazelnut) trees and is separated from the half-hectare of chestnut wood by the watercourse. There is plenty of space to keep chickens, grow vegetables and graze horses, sheep or goats.  
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The area surrounding the property – the Parque Natural de la Sierra de Aracena y Picos de Aroche - is famous for its walks, spring flowers, wildlife, history, natural beauty and gastronomy – the world-famous Iberian ham or  jamón ibérico is produced here and many types of wild mushroom grow in fields and woods. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Convenient access to the amenities of the local town, Aracena, 10 minutes’ drive away. It is only an hour’s drive to the wonderful city of Seville and less than two hours to the coast, the Costa de la Luz.

            <title>Hillside Smallholding in Andalucia</title>
            <link>http://www.greenshifters.co.uk/for_sale/954_Hillside_Smallholding_in_Andalucia</link>
            <description>&lt;img src='http://www.greenshifters.co.uk/./pictures/listings/th_medium_954_32.jpg'; align='left'; height='80'&gt;*** Now reduced ***
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

A character mostly-restored farmhouse set in fertile olive and almond groves. Incredible tranquil and private location 10 minutes from nearest town with lovely mountain views. Aside from the large property there are several watered terraces with numerous trees including olives, oranges, lemons, almonds, grapefruits, tangerines, figs, chirimoya and pomegranates.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Until last year it has been a working organic smallholding, with livestock (chickens, goats and a donkey) and it would be a great project for someone to continue. A wide range of plants grow here and it is possible to produce everything from apples and chestnuts to bananas and avocados. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The property includes a separate casita (small 'house'), water supply, mains electricity connection (currently has powerful solar system), furniture, satellite and broadband internet etc.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
There are also some outbuildings and a ruin, which could easily be converted into further accommodation. Some restoration work still needed (internal plastering, plus the renovation of the outbuildings) hence the lowered price.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Set in a rural yet accessible mountain location, five minutes' drive up a semi-paved track, the property is 30 minutes from the coast, 50 minutes from Granada and 10 minutes from Orgiva.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The people living on the hillside are very friendly and are always willing to help out (neighbours are variously Spanish, Danish, Dutch, German and English). 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Water is plentiful here as one of the main acequias (irrigation streams) runs right through the land and there are numerous nearby springs. There are also two large storage tanks associated with the property. Also, with its south facing aspect there is hardly ever a lack of sun for electricity.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
In the garden and on the surrounding land you are likely to see a lot of wildlife - mostly birds - but with the occasional wild boar.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
If you are interested, I can send an information sheet with all the particulars about water supply, property deeds etc. Similar properties on this hillside are for sale at much higher prices and we are only selling because work took me away to Denmark.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
This is the perfect place for a couple or family wanting to live a low impact lifestyle and there is a great network in the local area of like-minded people. There is potential to rent out part of it for holiday accommodation or to build another property on an adjoining parcel of land (subject to PP).
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Note: this property was withdrawn for a while but is now back on again, so if you previously enquired and were told that it was no longer available, please do so again if you are still interested.

            <description>&lt;img src='http://www.greenshifters.co.uk/./pictures/listings/th_medium_947_32.jpg'; align='left'; height='80'&gt;RELISTED AND REDUCED...

An idyllic approx 22 acre smallholding completely on its own with no near neighbours, tucked in a picturesque small wooded valley. Rurally situated with grazing pasture, approx 400 yards river frontage with wooded banks and fishing rights, stone outbuildings and a 3 bedroom brick house. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Our property has been home to several species over the years. Once a pony farm with abundant and varied grazing; a turkey and chicken farm for several years with the poultry free-ranging and enjoying the natural flora and berries. Most recently, we kept rare breed Tamworth pigs who thrived free ranging in the woodland and field. There are natural springs throughout the land offering lovely mountain water to all. It is a great property for living self-sufficiently. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
*UPVC DOUBLE GLAZING *SOLID FUEL CENTRAL HEATING (RAYBURN COOKING RANGE) *MAINS WATER AND ELECTRIC *SUPPLEMENTARY PRIVATE SPRINGWATER *TELEPHONE AND BROADBAND *SLATE FLOORING IN KITCHEN AND DAIRY *WOODSHED *40 FOOT POLYTUNNEL *YOUR OWN FIREWOOD 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
While the property is set at the end of a long no through road and private drive, it is only about 2 miles from the village of Llanbrynmair where there is a general store, junior school, village pub and B&amp;B, community centre, cafe with indoor children's play area and also a mobile Post Office. The larger towns of Machynlleth and Newtown are approx 12 miles and 24 miles respectively. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
**Note** Any interested parties should be aware the property is in need of some general tidying and improvement and that the single track railway passes about 50 feet in front of the residence. Passing trains are 2-4 carriages and infrequent. Further information ie dimensions etc are available to interested parties.

            <title>15 Acres Of Beautiful Devon + Planning</title>
            <link>http://www.greenshifters.co.uk/for_sale/945_15_Acres_Of_Beautiful_Devon_Planning</link>
            <description>&lt;img src='http://www.greenshifters.co.uk/./pictures/listings/th_medium_945_32.jpg'; align='left'; height='90'&gt;This wonderful little piece of England is nestled in the Devon countryside. Approximately 19 miles from Banstable, 10 miles from Tiverton and 21 miles from Exeter. Not too far from mainline trains, airports and motorways but just far enough!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
This smallholding benefits from planning permission for a mobile home under agricultural use regulations. With a 3 year business plan in place to facilitate planning for a permanent dwelling subject to approval. To get permission to live on land in the countryside or build a house is near on impossible. This planning has been gained by the present owner ofter 8 years of incredibly hard work, building up a local business supplying quality fresh free range produce. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The council have recognised the need for a dwelling on the land to enable the business to fulfil its potential. Permission has already been granted for the mobile home (temporary agricultural workers dwelling) several polytunnels and some farm buildings. Mains services are already on site, electricity, water and telephone. The property also benefits from a commercial poultry unit (400 hens), fenced enclosures, pig arks and livestock. A temperature controlled delivery van and a healthy customer base making over 100 deliveries a week.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
This situation is very unusual in as much as it's a work in progress. You will be in a unique position, being able to put your mark on the property as it's being developed. The property benefits from an asking price that reflects its future potential. This property is only now available due to divorce and was actually never intended to be sold but instead was to become the most amazing family home. The present owner is keen to offer encouragement and support during the next phase of the development. This property is looking for a new owner who is keen to breath in the country air and be enthusiastic and hardworking to achieve a healthy and profitable business to secure their financial future.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The present owner is taking interest from cash buyers only please.  The property is likely to be auctioned in the West Country early in 2012 unless previously sold.

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Thank you</description>

            <title>50 Acre Farm with 2 Detached Houses and income</title>
            <link>http://www.greenshifters.co.uk/for_sale/922_50_Acre_Farm_with_2_Detached_Houses_and_income</link>
            <description>&lt;img src='http://www.greenshifters.co.uk/./pictures/listings/th_medium_922_32.jpg'; align='left'; height='90'&gt;A rather remote/secluded small farm with about 50 acres of land (half fields, half woodland).
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Two stone-built detached and modernised houses and a self-contained studio. Various fine stone outbuildings suitable for a variety of purposes. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
This is not a farm where one could earn a real living by farming but would need another enterprise - camping, dog breeding, riding holidays, self-sufficiency, etc. Half of my flock of sheep could stay and every help would be given to a buyer installing themselves.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The smaller house is let at present for 500 Euros a month but full freehold possession would be given upon completion of a sale. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The nearest village is 5 km away and the lovely town of Perigueux is about 27 km distant. Limoges and Bergerac airports (Ryanair and Flybe airlines) are each within 50 miles.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Mains water and electricity and high-speed internet already installed.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
For fuller details whizz me an email and I'll send them together with more photographs.
