Gee...you must have a very big spirit attached to that mid-size frame to feel cramped.   In addition to that manse, which is full of very large rooms which haven't even been used yet, there are five separate hosues and multiple apartments over the considerable stables. I think I could find elbow room all right. As for age, it is the largest freehold property in France, which means (to me, anyway) it has been an intact parcel for some centuries.

True, the buuildings have been modernized for heat, AC, and hot water, PBX services and will have broadband internet through a T1 or perhaps a dual sat system.

On verra, tout ca; the negotiations are afoot.
