Start an adventure from an American TV series

Chapter 72 You can go back to your hometown in France

Looking at the information Dylan brought, Locke liked it more and more, and said, "The description on the information is not intuitive after all. When can I go and see it?"

"Anytime." Dylan was delighted.

Ordinary people who invest in farms will choose to give up when they see the information, or pick and choose to drastically lower the price, but judging by Locke's attitude, it seems that he has not considered the possibility of losing money.

"That's good tomorrow, honey, are you interested?" Locke looked at Ashley next to him.

"What's so good about the farm." Ashley shrugged her shoulders. She grew up in a small town and milked cows on the surrounding farms. She didn't think there was anything interesting about the smelly farm.

Compared to the farm, she prefers the mansion she attended a banquet in New York a few days ago, and feels that if she can live there, she will be satisfied for the rest of her life.

"I want to follow along." Peggy showed interest.

Now at her age, she is at the stage of being interested in new things. Compared with Ashley, who grew up in a small town and is familiar with farms, she wants to see them more.

"Then Peggy will be with me when I go to see it tomorrow." Locke glanced at Ashley and said with a chuckle, "It won't be long anyway, and I'll be back at night, you can go hang out nearby Drop by and chat with the neighbors here."

"They're all old men and aunts, what's there to talk about." Ashley curled her lips: "It's better to stay at home and watch TV."

"Not necessarily, as far as I know Gabriel is a well-known model, and she was once on the cover of fashion magazines in New York." Peggy smiled.

"A well-known model? What you said is true!" Ashley immediately perked up her ears and looked at Peggy.

"Of course, everyone nearby knows it. As far as I know, she will gather with her friends at Gabriel's house tomorrow to play cards and chat. Do you want to participate?" Peggy said.

"I also like playing cards." Ashley nodded again and again: "What should I do to join."

"Leave it to me. I'll give Julie a call. Her mother, Susan, will also attend tomorrow. If I ask Susan to help with this, she will definitely agree." Peggy said confidently.

"Then it's settled." Ashley answered quickly.

"The situation on the farm is like this. If you are still satisfied, I will take you to see the seller." Dylan said to Locke.

Dylan took Locke around the farm and experienced the various places. He rode a horse in the racecourse for a while, and had a BBQ in the wild at noon. It felt really good.

"Yes." Locke glanced at Peggy, who still had an excited look on his face, and nodded in agreement.

Then Dylan took Locke and Peggy to the seller's residence. This is a French-style manor with a blue roof and white walls, and it looks picturesque from a distance.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a large garden lawn. In front of the main building is a rather artistic fountain, and there is a swimming pool in the backyard. Tall and tall palm trees are planted beside the wall.

This is not at all like the residence of ordinary American farmers. Instead, it looks like a small manor. It doesn't have the feeling of a pompous local tyrant, but more of a low-key luxury.

The entire yard covers an area of ​​more than 6000 square meters, with an exquisite layout. A large area of ​​grass has just been trimmed, and the fragrance of green grass can still be smelled.

Locke stopped the car in front of the gate of the yard, got out of the car and walked inside, observing the surrounding environment. In addition to the main building, there was an annex building next to it, which was where the servants usually lived.

Locke didn't expect the farm's residence to be so beautiful. When they came to the gate of the main building, the hostess and her daughter, who were about 30 years old, greeted them.

The hostess' daughter looks very young, wearing a black lace skirt, she has a good figure and looks, the only pity is that her lips are a bit thick, which should be specially adjusted.

Thick lips are in line with the aesthetics of the old beauty, especially after the release of Pretty Woman starring Julia Roberts last year, many American girls are envious of her thick lips.

In Locke's view, this is a flaw instead, and he feels a pity in his heart, because thick lips really don't suit his appetite.

"You are very welcome. You should have seen the farm." The hostess has an elegant temperament, blond hair, looks like an aristocrat, and speaks with a French accent.

"It feels good." Locke nodded: "The environment is very good, but it may not be easy to make a profit as a farm."

The hostess smiled, invited Locke and others into the room, and began to introduce the manor:
"My husband and I bought this farm in the second year after we got married and came to the United States. The main reason is to have a place to relax near New York. I like the scenery here very much.

In 1985, the original house caught fire, so I found someone to design and build this manor, instead of using wooden buildings, I used the style of my hometown.

At the beginning of last year, it was specially redecorated, and a lot of energy was spent on it. It was only because my husband passed away unexpectedly, and I planned to return to France to settle down, that I thought about selling some fixed assets in the United States. "

"My condolences, madam." Locke politely expressed his regret. This lady is usually pampered and well maintained. Because of her age, wrinkles can already be seen at the corners of her eyes, but she is still very attractive and exudes a mature charm.

"The design of this manor is very good, madam, you are very discerning."

"I haven't lived here for long since it was renovated. As you can see, everything is almost brand new." The hostess continued to introduce the house:

"The house has three floors with a fireplace. The entire third floor is a large library and a well-equipped gymnasium. There are twelve rooms in total, two offices, two reception rooms, two cloakrooms, ten bathrooms and A large bath.

The basement is large, almost as large as the ground floor, with a dedicated utility room and wine cellar, and an adjacent six-car garage, for a total of [-] square feet. "

In the past six months, people have come to visit the farm one after another, and she has accumulated some experience.

The conditions here are very good, and the manor is also very beautiful, but it is very close to New York, so it is not cost-effective to use it as a farm investment. If you like manors, there are a lot of luxury houses in New York to choose from. You can also choose to go farther away with better scenery. .

The conditions are good, but there is no outstanding advantage in any aspect, and it seems to be a bit tasteless, which has led to the farm not making a move until now.

When the other party introduced, Locke also automatically converted in his head, [-] square feet, which is about [-] square meters.

In the United States, there is no such thing as shared housing, and the construction area is calculated based on the actual living area of ​​the apartment, and places such as basements and garages are often not included in the calculation.

This layout basically meets Locke's needs, giving him a surprise of picking up a treasure: "This building has a total of three floors. I just saw the layout from the outside. There is also an attic?"

"That's right, the attic has been carefully arranged, and you can rest in the sun. I'll show you around the room." The hostess greeted warmly, and then glanced at her daughter.

In the past, when someone came to see the house, the daughter would often show reluctance, feeling that she was delayed going out to play, but this time she was unexpectedly well-behaved.

After her husband passed away and inherited the estate, she began to deal with some dispensable assets in the United States, and planned to return to her hometown of Paris to settle down.

In addition to some financially stable investments and assets in the United States, her husband also has expensive assets such as wineries, farms, and castles in France.

Relying on the money obtained from the sale of assets in the United States, she also bought a hotel in Paris with a view of the Eiffel Tower a few days ago.

When this farm is finally sold, she is almost ready to return to France.
