Owner profile
About the owner
Mary and Steve Davidson moved, full-time to La Caze in October 2005. We then carried out the renovation on the barn, together with our son, Keir. After many years of family holidays in France, it became a dream and then our goal to live here. We have worked hard to make a life here and continue to thoroughly enjoy the life style and the beautiful area we live in. Every day we marvel at the wonderful views we have from our property - they are simply breath taking and we love to share them with our guests. We are on hand to give information on the local area and to be of help to ensure that our guests enjoy their holiday to the max - but equally if we are not needed we don't intrude. We love it here at La Caze and we hope you will too!
Year purchased: 2003
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We were attracted to this part of France because of the stunning countryside and climate. La Caze has one of the most magnificent views we have seen in our travels in France and although we now see it every day we never fail to appreciate it or the wonderful life we have here. Whilst being peaceful and rural we are easily accessible and situated on a decent 'D' road that takes you along the Tarn Valley and into larger towns and cities.
Unique benefits of the property
Whilst our own house was by no means a ruin, it needed enough work doing to enable us to put our own mark on it whilst retaining the old and traditional style of its origin. Being just outside of a thriving village and with others close by, we are able to enjoy the peacefulness and slower pace of country life but not feel isolated.
