In 1997 we bought the property of Le Coustal, a farm house with several small houses and a Tobacco barn. We renovated all these buildings and in 2009 we were able to buy the property of our neighbors, Laborie, with its 'Maison de Maitre', and some other buildings and 12 ha of land.
We restored the 'Maison de Maitre' and this house we also use for holiday lettings. We added a spa building and quite recent our tree house 'La Cabane Rouge-Gorge.
My husband and myself our originally from Holland, however we emigrated to the United Arab Emirates 11 years ago. From April until October I am in France to look after our guests at Lalande-Laborie, Le Coustal and La Cabane. We have a dedicated team of employees who take care of the gardens and the property when I am not in France. Since last year 2016, my daughter Sanne has been assisting me as well with taking care of the property.
