Située dans un environnement calme et verdoyant, en bordure d'un charmant petit chemin et au cœur d'un parc arboré de 4 hectares, cette remarquable batisse gersoise offre un cadre de vie paisible à moins de 5 minutes du centre du village de Montesquiou. D'une surface habitable d'environ 246 m², cette belle maison, spacieuse et lumineuse se compose au RDC de 2 salons spacieux, 1 charmante salle à manger et 1 vaste cuisine.

Next steps for moving to France
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
