No it is not a bird sanctuary - it is in-fact a pond within the grounds of a beautiful Stone Finca located just outside Palma in Mallorca with panoramic views of the famous town. 

To find an apartment in a waterfront location like this in Golfe Juan is pretty rare, to get a Penthouse of this quality in a position like this is even more uncommon. Anyone looking to buy on the French Riviera must see this property.

Mid November and winter is on its way, so I thought we’d finish the week with a wintry scene from Samoens in Haute Savoie in the French Alps. New to market this 5 bedroom traditional alpine farmhouse with heated swimming pool. 

One word…. Impressive - well that was three words but you get what I mean!! Eygalieres, Provence, 6 bedroom Estate with 56 hectare olive grove for sale. 

As French Mansion houses come this is pretty much perfect! It does certainly carry a lot of charm and opulence for a French Property. Built at the beginning of the 20th century it is located in Le Cannet Les Collines in Cannes.

When a property is ‘beach-side’ it usually means that it is on the correct side of the main road in order to access the beach without having to navigate past rush hour traffic, those on the other side of the main road tend to be referred to as ‘Front line Highway’… classy! Anyway this property doesn’t have that problem, it is literally ‘beachfront’ as in two steps from the sea, which is also ‘beach-side! Located in Costa de Los Pinos, Mallorca - glad that makes sense!

It’s is not often a gem like this comes to market, in the heart of Chamonix, walking distance from the Brevant Ski area, a 4 bedroom chalet for sale.

Keeping up the autumnal feel, this is Mallorca in the autumn sunshine, these pictures of this 4 bedroom villa in Soller, Mallorca were only snapped last week, very different to the UK wouldn’t you say!

In response to the postponed visit of a client to this wonderful converted vicarage in Moia just outside Barcelona, the owner was able to paint a picture without images, after all she is a writer:

The smell of winter is not far away, and yesterday I had the last swim of this season, or so I presume.

The air was clear as cristal and the light beautiful and dazzling. I do love autumn. Being in the hills, the sun is always strong and warm, even when it’s cold.

I still could eat some figues and picked up some roses…A bliss after the smoggy Beijing.

It seems a pity that potential buyers can not see the house and the place now, when the woods are still green and the trees haven’t yet lost their leaves.
