Auction Of An English Estate With A Private Plane & A French Holiday Home Thrown In

A lot of real estate auction come and go every other day. But in all fairness, we haven’t heard of a deal like this one before. Firstly, they rarely feature throw-ins except for some used luxury cars but in that case, the price of the estate is upped a little bit. So, tell us what will you say about a deal that includes a private plane too almost for free? This is not dream but reality as John and Susan Surbey, a retired English couple, put their entire lifestyle up for sale — an English farmhouse with its private airstrip, private plane plus a French holiday cottage for just $955,222.

Yep, the price is huge but just also sees the other side of the bargain, the number of ultra-luxe things that the winning bidder will be getting. The Surbeys are selling all to fund a retirement in Spain that shall also mean indulging in sailing.

The English farmhouse sprawling across eight acres has three bedrooms, an orchard, an airstrip and even a hanger. And the plane in reference is a 1990 Maule 180 Skyrocket with seats for four. So, anytime you wish to holiday in French, just grab your night bag and take the plane only to reach your destination in two hours.
