” Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened” – Anatole France

Maureen is a Residential Property Consultant at Val de Vie Estate and the heart behind Maureen@LuxuryProperties.

With 18 years of firsthand experience living on the estate, her knowledge extends far beyond property — it is rooted in lifestyle, community, and a true sense of home.

An avid animal lover and outdoor enthusiast, Maureen embraced Val de Vie as home for herself, her horses, dogs, sheep, and even a rescued zebra, Grace. Whether training horses, walking her dachshund De Nero, cycling, canoeing, or running, she fully lives the estate’s unrivalled outdoor way of life.

This authentic connection allows her to guide clients with insight, passion, and a genuine understanding of what makes Val de Vie exceptional.
