Wine estate property tipped as good investment

Buying property on a working vineyard estate is an attractive way to invest in French property, it has been stated.

In a feature on such overseas purchases, the Daily Mail noted that many properties of this kind come with perks, such as a supply of the finished product and a chance to participate in the wine-making process.

The paper noted an example of this in the Languedoc region, with properties starting at £185,050.

Spokesman for the estate's owners Domaine & Demeure, Karl O' Hanlon, said there were advantages to property buyers in renting out such homes, noting that those who do so in high season can enjoy yields of between four and 4.5 per cent.

The Alsace region is another part of France that is well known for its viniculture.

Its chamber of commerce will be presenting a selection of the region's produce in the London Wine Fair later this month.
