I have been going to the Allier often for 45 years, because my parents started a dairy farm there. When an old farmhouse became available in the area 25 years ago, I bought it and started renovating it during the holiday periods. That was quite a challenge, because every 'house' was used as a stable for animals; New roofs, stairs, doors, window frames, bathrooms and kitchens. Finally, we tackled the centrally located barn and created a nice multifunctional space in it with cozy and spacious upstairs apartments in the former haylofts.

I have never lived there, because of my work and my life in the Netherlands, but it has become my second home there. The village of Ainay-le-Château is very cozy and I have been playing there with the music association for 45 years and every week there are nice markets and festivities, which we add musical lustre to. It is a very lively village where you immediately feel at home.

With pain in my heart I decided to put this beautiful whole up for sale in the hope that someone else will be just as happy with it as I am and would like to give it the finishing touch. My children see no opportunities to take over because of their work and business in the Netherlands and for me it has become too big, given my age.

In the middle of pure nature, every day is a party with beautiful birds, such as hoopoes, goldfinches, many birds of prey and of course the barn swallows, which return annually in the barn, which is used for the storage of building materials. You will still experience real peace and conviviality there. I invite you to come and experience this too. It is a picturesque whole where you can immediately use the possibilities and expand them further without having to make large investments right away.
