Bergerac, France: GRAPE EXPECTATIONS
Hobby farms have seen a resurgence in recent years, with tree changers ditching the hustle and bustle of the city to embrace the peace and quiet of a rural property.
Throw in some chooks and sheep, maybe even some horses or cattle — it’s bliss. I’d love to have a hobby farm one day, or a hobby vineyard. Like this place in France.

Marketed as the perfect hobby vineyard, the estate is set on more than 48ha of woodlands, meadows, vineyards and lakes. Set in a private location that’s prime for producing quality wine, the property cranks out 60,000 bottles a year of white, red and, occasionally, rose and sparkling wines.
The home itself is gorgeous. Built in the 15th century and recently renovated, it offers eight bedrooms, six bathrooms, a heated pool, a lake, a chapel and staff accommodation.

Catherine Field, NSW, Australia — FAMILY ESTATE WITH THE LOT
It might look like it’s come straight out of the Hollywood Hills, but believe it or not, you’ll find this modern mansion just one hour from Sydney.
The five-bedroom RomicMoore Property listing at 205 Deepfields Rd, Catherine Field, has been described as the ”ultimate landmark residence” and was built in 2005.
This place has all the bells and whistles, and some of the furniture is even included in the sale.
That’s kind of a big deal because a lot of it was imported from Italy, including solid stone features, French embroidered velvets and items with mother-of-pearl inlay.
Set on 4700sqm, it’s a grand estate that offers a private lifestyle. If you want it, you’d better act fast — this one goes to auction on November 24.
