Stand at the edge of the private lake on a July morning and the only sounds are a wood pigeon somewhere in the oak canopy and the soft lap of water against the bank. No road noise. No neighbors. Just 14 hectares of meadow, woodland, and sky — and a stone estate that has been quietly watching over all of it for generations. This is Genouillé, a commune in the Vienne department of Poitou-Charentes, and this property is the kind of find that makes serious buyers stop scrolling and pick up the phone. The estate is anchored by a substantial main house — proper stone walls, exposed timber beams that have darkened beautifully over the decades, and reception rooms large enough that a gathering of twenty people still feels unhurried. Four bedrooms, each with its own private shower room, mean that a multigenerational family or a group of close friends can arrive for two weeks in August and never queue for a bathroom. The private in-ground pool sits within the grounds of the main house, giving the primary residence its own self-contained world. Completely separate and fully independent, the gîte adds another four to five bedrooms and a second pool. This is where the property starts to reveal its financial logic. Poitou-Charentes draws steady summer traffic — cyclists riding the Vélodyssée, families heading to the Marais Poitevin, history enthusiasts making their way between Romanesque churches — and good-quality rural gîtes in the Vienne book up fast from June through September. The infrastructure here is already in place. You're not building from scratch; you're stepping into a ready-made hospitality setup with genuine income potential. The third structure on the property is a cottage: sitting room, dining space, one bedroom, b ... click here to read more

On a still morning in the Aude, before the cicadas get going and while the dew is still on the orchard grass, you can stand on the terrace of this estate and watch the Pyrenees catch the first light. The mountains sit low and blue on the southern horizon, the Canal du Midi is just a few minutes' drive away, and Castelnaudary — the undisputed world capital of cassoulet — is twelve minutes down the road. This is southwest France at its most unhurried and most real. The property itself is substantial. 567 square metres of living space spread across a main house, a second large dwelling, and two fully independent cottages, all sitting within landscaped grounds that include a 10x5 metre swimming pool, a mature orchard, two stone wells, and covered outdoor areas shaded by trees that have been growing here for decades. An adjoining barn, stone garages, and a workshop round things out. This is not a weekend retreat — it's a full estate, and it has the bones to become something genuinely exceptional. The main house runs to 164 square metres: a generous living room, a kitchen, three bedrooms, and two shower rooms. The original exposed stonework and timber beams are still intact, the kind of architectural detail that takes centuries to accumulate and can't be replicated with a renovation budget. The second dwelling — 236 square metres — connects to the main house or operates as a completely separate unit. Four guest bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, a lounge, a dining room, a kitchen, and a private terrace. The two additional cottages are fully equipped and ready to receive guests. That's four separate accommodation units on a single property, which matters enormously if you're thinking about income. And you probabl ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Aubeterre-sur-Dronne sounds like this: the church bell at Saint-Jacques tolling the hour, a boulangerie bag rustling on the kitchen counter, and the faint splash of someone already in the pool before nine. This is the rhythm of a village that made it onto France's coveted Les Plus Beaux Villages de France list — and this gîte complex sits right inside it, close enough to walk to the bar-restaurant without moving the car once. Three separate houses. One large garden. A heated pool. One address that almost never comes up for sale in a village this well-known. The complex breaks down neatly. The main house carries four bedrooms and anchors the property with the kind of proportions you simply don't find anymore at this price point in the Charente. A second house adds three more bedrooms, giving families — or groups of friends who like their own front door — room to breathe without feeling miles apart. Then there's the one-bedroom cottage, the quiet outlier, ideal for a couple who want the pool and the garden but not the crowd. Each unit has its own private garden patch, so privacy isn't theoretical here; it's designed in. Total living space across all three sits at 372 square metres, which is substantial by any measure. The garden itself stretches to 2,600 square metres — enough to lose children in for an afternoon, enough to set up a long outdoor table for twelve and still have grass left over. The 10m x 5m pool is heated, which matters in the shoulder seasons when the Charente autumn is golden and warm but the air drops at dusk. There's also a barn on the plot, the kind of structure that immediately starts conversations about wine storage, workshop space, or the fourth rental unit someone always ends u ... click here to read more

Some mornings in the Périgord Noir you wake up to nothing. No traffic, no alarms — just wood pigeons calling from the oak canopy and the faint smell of damp stone warming in early sun. That's the rhythm of life at this five-bedroom stone property in Cénac-et-Saint-Julien, a village that sits quietly above the Dordogne River, close enough to Sarlat-la-Canéda that you can be browsing the Saturday market stalls within fifteen minutes, far enough away that you'd never know it. Set on 2.7 hectares — a mix of open lawn, mature woodland, and garden — the house has the solidity of a building that has outlasted several generations and been thoughtfully brought forward rather than stripped of character. The stone walls are original. The renovation, however, is recent and thorough: new electrical panel, updated plumbing, two hot water tanks, and a kitchen installed from scratch that opens directly into a 39-square-metre living and dining area flooded with afternoon light. It's the kind of space where a summer lunch stretches comfortably into the early evening without anyone thinking to move. The main house holds four bedrooms — two of them full suites with private shower rooms — and those room sizes (22, 23, 15 and 12 square metres) are generous by French rural standards. The primary suite is on the ground floor, which matters more than people expect: after a long day walking the Beynac cliffs or cycling the Vézère valley trail, the last thing you want is stairs. The layout is practical in all the ways that count for a family who actually intends to use a second home, not just own one. What makes this property genuinely unusual is the second, fully independent building. It has its own living room, kitchen, and shower room, with ... click here to read more

Stand on the south-facing terrace on a July morning and you'll understand immediately why people come to Sarlat-la-Canéda and never quite manage to leave. The medieval rooftops fan out below you, the limestone towers catching the early light while the smell of bread from the boulangerie on the Rue de la République drifts up through the garden's mature oak and walnut trees. Five minutes on foot and you're in the middle of one of France's most intact medieval town centres. But here, behind the solid stone walls and wooden shutters of this 260-square-metre residence, you have your own sanctuary above it all. This is a proper Périgord Noir stone house — the kind with walls thick enough to keep the interior cool through August's heat without much help, built with the kind of care that simply isn't replicated today. The wrought-iron staircase rising from the marble-floored entrance hall is the first clue that this house was built to last and to impress. The ground floor's solid oak front door opens onto an entrance hall of 16 square metres, and the sense of scale only grows from there. One of the most practical — and genuinely rare — features here is the self-contained ground-floor apartment with its own garden entrance. It has a combined living, dining and kitchen space, a bedroom, and a bathroom, all accessed independently from the main house. The implications for international buyers are significant: rent the apartment year-round through a local agency while you use the main house during summer, or house a family member, a caretaker, or seasonal guests without any awkward sharing of space. Properties in Sarlat with this kind of built-in flexibility at this price point are not easy to find. Upstairs, the first floor is wh ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Tuesday morning and the only sound is the cuckoo somewhere deep in the oak woods behind the meadow. No traffic. No neighbours visible. Just the smell of damp grass, a light mist burning off the valley below, and the knowledge that you have six hectares of Périgord countryside entirely to yourself. That is the daily reality of this place — a 318-square-metre stone estate at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of a tiny hamlet near Saint-Aubin-de-Lanquais, and it is the kind of property that makes people stop scrolling. The main house is authentically Périgord — golden limestone walls, exposed oak beams on the upper floor, and a sense of solidity that only three centuries of craftsmanship can produce. The ground floor flows generously: a 45-square-metre open living and dining room fills with southern light through most of the day, connecting directly to a 13-square-metre kitchen that opens onto the same space, making it genuinely social. There is also a private ground-floor bedroom with its own dressing room and ensuite shower — ideal for guests who prefer not to climb stairs, or for the owners themselves. A dedicated 30-square-metre office sits apart from the living areas, which matters if you work remotely or plan to manage the gîte business from the property. Upstairs, two further bedrooms — 23 and 15 square metres respectively — have the kind of exposed ceiling beams that interior designers try to recreate and never quite nail. Now, the part that sets this property apart from the typical Dordogne holiday home: it comes with two fully functional gîtes. The smaller one sleeps four across 62 square metres, with its own living room, two bedrooms, and a secluded garden that gives guests genuine pri ... click here to read more

On a still Tuesday morning in Thénac, the only sounds are birdsong, the occasional bell from the nearby Plum Village monastery drifting across the fields, and the soft creak of walnut branches in the breeze. You're standing on the terrace with a coffee, looking out over an unbroken panorama of Périgord countryside. No cars. No noise. Just space, light, and a 423-square-metre longère that's been quietly absorbing centuries of Dordogne life since the 1600s. This is not a typical French farmhouse renovation story. What you get here is rare: a genuinely large, genuinely versatile property that was substantially refurbished in 2021, sitting on around 5,400 square metres of landscaped grounds with a natural spring-fed pond, mature orchard trees — apple, walnut, cherry, plum, pear — and a private swimming pool tucked behind a thick hedgerow so that no one can see in. The pool terrace feels like your own private world, shielded from everything. Step inside through the main entrance hall, which is wide enough to function as a proper reception room, with doors opening to both the front and rear of the house. It sets the tone immediately. Stone walls. Thick, solid materials. A sense of permanence you don't find in new builds. The kitchen pulls you in further — organic and unhurried in its design, with wooden units, natural stone flooring, and walls that have absorbed three hundred years of cooking smells and family meals. This is the kind of kitchen where you actually want to spend time, not just pass through. The main lounge takes the drama up a level. A cathedral ceiling rising two full storeys gives the room a scale that feels theatrical without being cold, and a mezzanine level above adds an intimate counterpoint to all that ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Tuesday morning in July, the kind that only happens in the Béarn. You've pushed open the tall shutters of the first-floor landing, and the garden below is already alive — bees working the lavender, the pool catching the early light, the Pyrenean foothills just visible through a soft summer haze on the horizon. Downstairs, someone has put a baguette on the kitchen table. The nearest boulangerie is five minutes away, and by now you know exactly which one to use. This is what owning a château actually feels like, and this particular one — a three-storey, 468m² stone manor built in 1898, set on 4.16 hectares of its own grounds in a tiny hilltop hamlet near Salies-de-Béarn — makes that morning feel entirely possible. The château sits at the end of a winding country lane, approached by a private drive that curves around to a small parking area in front of the house. Stone steps rise to the front door and open into an entrance hall that stops first-time visitors mid-sentence. The double staircase that dominates the hall — symmetrical, unhurried, built for making an impression — sets the tone for everything that follows. A matching pair of stone exterior steps at the rear mirror the interior staircase and lead straight down to the grounds, the 12m x 4m pool, and the tennis court beyond. The ground floor arranges itself logically around that central hall: a sitting room of 30m², a dining room of equal size with an open fireplace that earns its keep through autumn and into the Pyrenean winter, a library-study-office of 23m², and a kitchen. The spaces are generous without being cavernous, which matters more than people expect when a property like this becomes a real family base rather than a weekend curiosity ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Marvejols, and the market on Place du Soubeyran is already alive with the smell of aged Laguiole cheese and fresh-pulled lavender honey. You walk back along the old ramparts, coffee in hand, and push open the wooden gate to a property that somehow manages to feel both grand and genuinely lived-in. The pool catches the early sun. The petanque court is waiting. Six bedrooms, 274 square metres of renovated living space, and 459 square metres of outbuildings sit on a fully fenced, tree-lined plot of 4,150 square metres. This is what that phrase "rare find" is supposed to mean. The house itself has been completely renovated — and done with real care, not a quick cosmetic flip. The main living area faces south, which in this part of the Massif Central means serious sunlight from October through May, not just the obvious summer months. Light floods across the stone floors and into a kitchen that opens directly onto the garden. Cooking here in August, with the doors flung open and the sound of cicadas carrying in from the trees, is a different relationship with a kitchen entirely. Six bedrooms give you options that most holiday properties simply can't offer. A family reunion. A rotating group of friends across a long summer. Or, more practically, a conversion into chambres d'hôtes or a gîte — the Lozère tourism office actively promotes rural accommodation in this corridor, and demand from hikers, cyclists, and nature travellers has grown consistently over the past decade. Those outbuildings are worth pausing on. A barn. A summer kitchen. Three garages. A workshop. A storage room. That's 459 square metres of space that most buyers in this price range would kill for. The summer kitchen alone transforms the pro ... click here to read more

Stand on the upstairs balcony on a clear morning and the Seine Valley rolls out in front of you like something you'd stop to photograph on a road trip—except this is just Tuesday, and you own it. That 49m² master suite behind you, the smell of coffee drifting up from the kitchen below, the garden still dewy and quiet at that hour. This is the kind of house that doesn't announce itself loudly. It earns you over, slowly, room by room. Boissise-le-Roi sits in the Seine-et-Marne département, tucked into a green loop of the river about 40 kilometres south of Paris. It's not a name you'll find on tourist maps, and that's exactly the point. This is a residential village where people actually live—where the boulangerie on Rue de la Fontaine knows its regulars, where the school run and the Sunday walk along the Seine riverbank are the defining rhythms of the week. For a second home buyer, that's rare. You get the proximity to Paris without the noise, the price inflation, or the sense that you're always surrounded by other visitors. The house itself sits on a landscaped plot of 2,600 square metres—generous by any standard, genuinely rare this close to the capital. The garden has been thought about: terracing that runs to roughly 63 square metres of outdoor living space, a covered parking area for two vehicles, a garden shed, and a well with rainwater recovery that keeps the green looking like this in August without sending the water bill through the roof. On warm evenings, this terrace is where dinner happens. There's no competition from traffic noise, no neighbours pressed close on either side. Just the garden, the view down toward the valley, and the kind of stillness that city dwellers come a long way to find. Inside, the gr ... click here to read more

On a still morning in Aveyron, you step out onto the upper terrace and the land just rolls away from you — four hectares of meadow catching the early light, no road noise, no neighbor's roof in sight, just the faint ring of cowbells somewhere in the valley below and the smell of cut grass warming up. That's the daily reality of this property outside Villeneuve, and it hits differently than any brochure photo can prepare you for. This is a genuine Quercy farmhouse that's been taken apart and put back together with real conviction. The bones are original — thick limestone walls quarried locally, timber beams that have been in place for well over a century — but the living spaces read as thoroughly modern. Not in a cold, minimalist way. In the way that good renovation always works: high ceilings kept tall, stone floors kept bare, and new elements like aluminum double-glazed frames and remote-controlled electric curtains added without apology. The old and the new don't fight each other here. They just coexist. The 250 square metres of living space is spread across three levels and ten rooms, which gives the house a generosity you feel immediately. The original billiard room, now used as the main dining room, has a ceiling high enough to fit a mezzanine above it — a genuinely rare feature that changes the atmosphere of an evening meal in a way that's hard to explain until you've sat under it with a bottle of Marcillac wine and candles going. The study overlooks the full extent of the property and opens directly onto the large terrace-roof above the ground-floor extension; on a clear day you can see the limestone causse in the middle distance and the wooded ridgelines beyond. It's the kind of room that makes you want to actu ... click here to read more

Step through a heavy iron gate on a crisp October morning and the whole world shifts. The chestnut trees lining the courtyard have gone amber and copper, a thin mist hangs over the Rhue valley below, and the stone facade of this former convent rises in front of you — three floors of dark Auvergne granite, a central pediment carved with quiet authority, and windows that have been watching this village since long before anyone alive can remember. This is Condat, Cantal, and this house does not whisper. It speaks. At 1,200 square meters spread across three levels, this is one of those properties that arrives in a category of its own. Fourteen bedrooms. Seven bathrooms. A semi-professional kitchen running to 60 square meters. A full basement the footprint of the entire building. And a separate outbuilding already generating rental income. Numbers like these, at 744,000 euros in the heart of the Massif Central, make experienced buyers do a double-take. They should. Condat sits at 700 meters altitude, at a geographic crossroads that the locals understand intuitively and most outsiders discover with a pleasurable shock. The Sancy massif — home to Puy de Sancy, the highest peak in the Massif Central at 1,886 meters — lies to the north. The volcanic plateau of the Cézallier rolls out to the east, vast and wind-combed and unlike anything in lowland France. The Artense plateau, dotted with glacial lakes, sits to the west. You are not near a landscape here. You are inside several of them simultaneously. The village itself is a functioning rural community of around 1,000 people, not a preserved-for-tourists showcase. There is a market, a pharmacy, a primary school, a post office, boulangeries that produce fougasse and the dense da ... click here to read more

On a still Tuesday morning in the Charente countryside, you open the French doors off the kitchen and the smell of damp grass and woodsmoke drifts in from the garden. There's coffee on the go, the pool is catching the early light, and your guests are still asleep in the gîte across the courtyard. This is not a fantasy — this is an ordinary morning at this property, five kilometers outside Barbezieux-Saint-Hilaire, on a 4,147-square-meter plot that somehow manages to feel both completely private and reassuringly close to real life. The main house is 225 square meters, approached through gates and along a private driveway that announces clearly: you've left the road behind. The ground floor moves logically from a proper entrance hall into a study — useful if you work remotely or need a quiet corner during longer stays — and then opens into the kitchen and living-dining room. The fireplace and wood burner at the heart of the space are not decorative. On a January evening when the Charente temperatures drop to single figures, they earn their keep completely. French doors push the room outward onto the terraces, where a built-in barbecue waits for the kind of long summer dinners that drift into the dark. Three ground-floor bedrooms handle the family or friends situation comfortably. Two separate toilets mean the morning routine doesn't become a negotiation. The shower room is thoughtfully arranged — private to the master bedroom but also corridor-accessible when needed. Practical in the way that only houses designed for actual living tend to be. Then there's the tower. A stone staircase from the main entrance climbs to a private suite — bedroom and its own shower room — tucked away from everything else. It's the room teena ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the only sound is the cicadas going at it full throttle in the garrigue scrubland beyond your garden wall. No traffic. No neighbors peering over fences. Just 33,600 square meters of sun-warmed southern French land, a stone house that's been standing longer than most countries have had borders, and a coffee going cold on the terrace because the view keeps pulling your eyes away from it. This is Saint-Ambroix, a small Gard town that sits in the Cèze Valley at the southern edge of the Cévennes massif — and if you haven't heard of it, that's rather the point. This corner of Languedoc-Roussillon moves at its own pace. The Tuesday market on the Place du Marché fills with local producers selling chèvre, honey from lavender fields, and charcuterie from the Ardèche hill villages just north of here. Come autumn, the chestnut harvest festival draws the whole valley together in a way that hasn't changed much in a century. Life here is not performed for tourists. It simply is. The house itself is the real thing — thick dressed stone walls that hold the heat out in August and hold the warmth in through the short Gard winter. At 129 square meters of interior living space across three floors, it's substantial without being excessive. Ground floor: a sitting room with a wood-burning fireplace built into the original stone chimney breast, a kitchen, a bedroom, a full bathroom, a conservatory that traps afternoon light until about 7pm in summer, and two storage rooms that previous owners have clearly put to serious use. Up to the first floor, and there's another large bedroom plus a second bathroom and a separate WC. Climb one more flight and two further bedrooms sit under the roofline — good-sized room ... click here to read more

On a Sunday morning in Saint-Germain-du-Seudre, you open the kitchen window and catch the smell of damp grass in the park below, still cool from the night. The heated pool catches the early light. Somewhere beyond the stone walls and the old bread oven, a church bell marks the hour. This is the pace of life the Charente-Maritime has always kept — unhurried, rooted, quietly extraordinary. This 19th-century residence sits in a wooded, landscaped park between Gémozac and Mortagne-sur-Gironde, right in the green corridor that runs toward the Gironde Estuary. It's a proper estate: a main house of 280m² of living space, a fully independent 150m² guest house, outbuildings with barns and a workshop, a 12x6m heated swimming pool, and a tennis court. Nine bedrooms across the two buildings. A property on this scale, at this price point, in this condition — it doesn't come around often in the Saintonge region. The main house carries its century well. On the ground floor, a grand entrance hall with cloakroom and WC opens onto two generous reception rooms and a private office. The proportions here are old-house proportions — high ceilings, thick stone walls, rooms that feel like rooms rather than corridors with furniture in them. The ground-floor suite runs to 30m² and has its own shower room, toilet, and dressing room, which makes it ideal for guests or for anyone who'd rather keep the stairs optional. The fitted kitchen connects directly to a laundry room and cellar, and opens out onto terraces that look over the park and the pool. In summer, dinner happens out there. That's just how it works. Upstairs, the layout breathes. The master suite exceeds 30m² and has a shower room finished in mahogany and quality ceramics — a detail th ... click here to read more

Stand at the edge of the limestone plateau on a clear October morning and you can hear absolutely nothing. No traffic, no machinery, no neighbors. Just a kestrel working the thermals above the Causses and the faint whisper of wind through the oak scrub. That kind of silence is not incidental here — it's the whole point. This is Marcilhac-sur-Célé, a village in the Lot department of southwestern France where the river carves through pale cliffs and the pace of life hasn't changed much in a century. And this property — a complete rural estate comprising the majority of an ancient hamlet, two substantial stone houses, two large farm buildings, and 92 unbroken hectares of land — is about as rare as the silence itself. Let's start with the land, because it's what makes everything else possible. The 92 hectares come in one piece, which matters enormously. No fragmented parcels, no tenant farmers, no complicated lease agreements to unpick. Seventeen hectares are meadows and mixed woodland down in the valley; the remaining 75-plus are fully fenced limestone plateau — the wild, scrubby Causses terrain that defines the character of this entire region. Walk it for an afternoon and you'll find old stone cazelles, those dry-stone shepherd's huts that dot the plateau like punctuation marks from another era, plus a small barn still waiting for someone with a vision. The fencing is already in place, which is a significant practical detail: under France's 2023 loi clôture, that enclosure can be maintained for agricultural activities, horse breeding, or hunting dog training grounds, among other permitted uses. The land supports animals, market gardening, rural tourism, or simply the luxury of having a private wilderness on your doorstep. ... click here to read more

Picture yourself stepping through wide glass doors onto a sun-warmed terrace in the Lot Valley, where your private pool reflects the endless blue sky of southwestern France. This is not just another property—this is your gateway to the truffle-rich countryside south of Cahors, where medieval villages dot rolling hills and every season brings new reasons to gather family and friends at your modern French vacation home. Built in 2012 with meticulous attention to contemporary design, this 287-square-meter architect-designed residence offers seven bedrooms across two living spaces, making it an exceptional choice for multi-generational holidays or generating rental income when you're back home. The moment you arrive at this property, you understand why the Lot region has become a sought-after destination for international second home buyers. Located just twenty minutes from Cahors—a city renowned for its Malbec wines and the magnificent Pont Valentré bridge—you're positioned perfectly between authentic French village life and easy access to modern amenities. The A20 motorway sits five minutes away, connecting you to Toulouse airport in ninety minutes and Bordeaux in two hours, making weekend escapes from London, Brussels, or Amsterdam entirely practical. Walk to local shops for your morning baguette and discover why this area draws visitors seeking the real France, far from overcrowded coastal resorts. The architecture immediately sets this vacation home apart from traditional stone farmhouses dominating the region. Your architect embraced light as the primary design element, installing expansive sliding glass panels that dissolve boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. The open-plan living area spans 103 square met ... click here to read more

Picture yourself on a sun-drenched terrace in the Dordogne Valley, coffee in hand, watching morning mist lift from your own truffle oak grove as church bells echo from the medieval village nearby.

Picture this: a Sunday morning in late September, the air still warm enough to sit outside, a coffee in hand, the vines on the terrace just beginning to turn amber. From here you can hear absolutely nothing except birdsong and the faint clanking of tractors on neighboring plots. That's Duras. And once you've had a taste of it, the idea of going home starts to feel like a very poor decision. This 190-square-metre farmhouse sits at the heart of a working agricultural landscape in Lot-et-Garonne — one of the least-discovered corners of southwest France, and quietly, one of the most rewarding. The house is solid, full of original character, and in good condition throughout. No gut renovation required, no guesswork. You arrive, you unpack, and life in rural Aquitaine begins. Walk through the front door and the terracotta-tiled entrance hall immediately sets the mood — unhurried, warm, rooted in something real. The farmhouse-style kitchen and dining room is the room the whole house revolves around. An Aga-style wood pellet range cooker anchors one wall. But the feature that stops every visitor in their tracks is the original prune drying oven, still intact, built directly into the fabric of the kitchen. This part of Lot-et-Garonne has been producing Agen prunes — the pruneau d'Agen, with its own protected designation of origin — for centuries. Finding a domestic drying oven in this condition is genuinely rare. It's not decorative. It's a working piece of regional history embedded in your kitchen wall. The living room opens off the kitchen and has a different energy — slower, quieter. A Dovre log-burning stove sits at its center, and on a January evening when the temperature outside drops and the fields are silver with frost ... click here to read more
