Buying Property in Midi-Pyrenées
Where to buy property in Midi-Pyrenées
There is a vast range of property for sale in Midi-Pyrenees, reflecting its diverse geography. The Tarn, an area to the east of regional capital Toulouse, has been a favourite destination for British property buyers for quite a while. Though this has caused prices of property in Midi-Pyrenees to rise, they are by no means the most expensive properties in Midi-Pyrenées. It’s an area of many landscapes, none more appealing than the ancient vineyards around Gaillac.
An increasing number of British property buyers are drawn to the north of the region; Lot has great character properties for much lower prices than the neighbouring Dordogne and a dry, hot summer climate and short winters. Centred around the winemaking town of Cahors, the magnificent countryside and charming traditional properties of the region are very appealing to anyone with a yen for rural France.
Gers, in the west, was at the heart of historic region of Gascony and properties in its lush countryside are very popular – though it has the highest prices in the region, there are bargains to be had in the more remote areas away from the town of Auch. Low-cost flights to Rodez in the east have opened up that part of the region to tourists and make a holiday home here a viable option.
In the south, a property near the Pyrenées mountains offers great skiing in winter, with the beaches of the Atlantic and Mediterranean just a couple of hours’ drive away. Apart from ski chalets there are opportunities to renovate abandoned farmhouses and rural properties and prices are very reasonable in this part of the region.
