Could La Volée be yours, too?
A quarter share of the farm is available — with the option to take up to half. A rare chance to co-own a ten-hectare Normandy smallholding and its herd.
A share in the whole thing.
La Volée is held as an SCI (a French joint-property entity) valued at €400,000. A quarter share is available for around €100,000 (about £84,000) — with the option to buy up to a half instead, for 50/50 ownership. The sellers are former partners who have already relocated to the UK.
The property is ten hectares: a farmhouse, three renovated houses in the entrance hamlet, a barn with planning permission, and an apartment being renovated — set in organic pasture, woodland and spring-fed ponds above a private valley, with Erica’s herd of nine gaited mountain horses.
What’s needed
- Capital of €100,000 available for the share
- An independent income — the business won’t provide a living
- Horse experience, or willingness to learn safe handling
- Alignment with La Volée’s vision and values
- Commitment to long-term residence, able to relocate promptly
- Physical and mental fitness for farm maintenance
- Experience of co-operative living, or eagerness to learn
- Strong people skills for consensus decision-making
Especially welcome
- Younger applicants and families
- Construction, DIY or woodland-management skills
- Smallholding experience
- Business skills — accounting or marketing
- An interest in food-production systems
There’s also a Workaway partnership for shorter, hands-on stays, and scope for working holidays — ask if that’s more your speed.
