Golf Development
More and more clients have realised that France has some of the best golf courses in the world – this is in addition to the high quality of life, beautiful landscape, architecture, culture, fantastic food, delicious wines or perhaps the great climate - the list goes on!
Buying a golf property abroad has become an increasingly attractive option for people seeking a more relaxed way of life, an agreeable climate and a less expensive standard of living. Many people staying in golf properties overseas report the community around them is relaxed and friendly.
Moving abroad, even for a relatively short time, is a big step to take, but nowadays finding the ideal golf property as a place to live, for your holidays, or for retirement has never been easier. The market for golf properties has recently witnessed incredible growth, and it has never been more straightforward to set up a golf property in Europe. The EU and the single currency have made living and working abroad much easier for UK and Irish citizens.
All the most popular golf property destination countries enjoy warm relations with the UK, with communications being generally excellent, and air travel especially easy, frequent and often inexpensive. The motorway and TGV network are also excellent. The warmer climate and the fact that golf properties tend to be of exceptional high quality are two of the main draws for moving to a golf property abroad.
Owning a luxury golf property in Europe only minutes away from some of the most magnificent golf courses, can not only present you with a different more enjoyable way of living, but can also be a shrewd financial investment for the future. If you decide to rent out your golf property when you're not using it you can profit from steady capital growth, which in some areas, has been phenomenal. Golf properties in France will bring you all the advantages of a luxury home located in a prime position very close to a stunning golf course. The prospect of long, balmy days playing golf with the draw of a friendly, relaxed environment means that golf properties are in huge demand and becoming more profitable and popular all the time.
One huge advantage that France has over other better known golfing destinations such as those found in Portugal and Spain is that the climate is much more temperate. The green fees and membership fees are far more reasonable. During the summer months of June, July and August when temperatures can reach a scorching 40 degrees in more southerly destinations and make playing a round of golf uncomfortable, in France these temperatures usually remain around 30 degrees Celsius in the south of the country making the round much more pleasurable.
The clubs in France are also more exclusive and are often reserved for property owners in the club or members and their friends but green fees for a round on a decent course can be very reasonable.
