Himeville is a tranquil picturesque town which caters mostly to the leisure home owners market. Properties in this sleepy hollow are mostly smallholdings and farms and demand for these properties have increased since 2014.
This revival in demand can be in part, attributed to reasonable property values and the commercial use of the larger property as guest houses, lodges and B&B’s.
