Attention those of you who have always dreamed of owning your very own village in France. For the reasonable price of $369,930 the entire village of Courbefy, located in the region of Limousin, can be yours. The Credit Agricole bank had to repossess Courbefy after a downturn in the farming industry led to its decline and eventual bankruptcy. Your new village would come complete with 200 people, 19 buildings, a swimming pool, horse stables and a tennis court. Surely there’s some celebrity out there whose ego would be fed by this sort of thing. Or some rich person. Or some not rich person who wants to live a more “Downton Abbey” lifestyle. Who wants to lend me a few bucks? [Newslite]
