Country House Could Be the Focus of Eco-tourism, Sustainable Ag, or Building Efficiency

I happened to sit next to Henry van Moyland, the proprietor of this place: “Cefntilla” in Monmouth, Wales on my way home from the East Coast last night.  We didn’t discuss the subject, but, according to some of the reports I’ve read on the property, Henry may be interested in turning the place into a high-end resort/spa.  I emailed him this morning and offered him my advice if this turns into a project focused on eco-tourism, sustainable ag, or if building efficiency is a big deal.  I’d sure like to be a part of such a project; I’m a sucker for high-end real estate, and it doesn’t get too much higher-end than this.

Henry inherited the place as a surprise bequest from an uncle.  Note to my Uncle Edgar (the only one I have remaining): If you have a country house on 238 acres in Wales and are looking for a home for it after your demise, I’m your man.
