In search of a more affordable retirement, sisters Jen McGuire and Kat McAfee left Beacon, NY, for Dordogne, France, where they could purchase a historic home for much less. After selling their Hudson Valley property, they navigated visa requirements and settled into their new life. Despite the charms and affordability of the Dordogne region, they faced unexpected challenges, prompting them to put their new home on the market as they adapted to their surroundings and lifestyle changes.
We saw that we could not afford a decent home in any areas of the U.S. that we would enjoy living in," McAfee, 69, tells Realtor.com.
After moving, the sisters and their five cats settled in for a more exciting and hoped-for cheaper retirement than the U.S. would have provided them.
Don't assume you understand the weather" - McGuire remarks on the unexpected challenges they faced after relocating.
The region is revered for its Roman ruins, medieval towns, and prehistoric cave paintings in the Vezere Valley.
