Good US and French property listing sites?
Discussion
£250-350k Sterling, so a fair amount of property I would hope when converted (sadly not Chateaux land though!) other requirements, minimal tbh, I just want to see what's out there, hence the rather basic request (or so I thought!)
Fr, Upper Brittany, pays-de-Dol or dol-de-Bretagne (certainly a short hop from St.Malo), again 4-6 sleep, unless land is manageable I have limited interest in heaps of it, happy to take on someone else's near finished dream once they've dealt with enough of the shockingly tardy local trades to get main works done, but no interest in a rebuild. This can be a tidy up over the next few years before a phased retirement to potentially permanent living. Most sites catering for Brit interest have a lot of knackered houses with much acreage.
US, to sleep at least 4, pref 6 for the rental market, no great interest in land. Interest in convenience of location for the major attractions & ideally downtown Orlando, there are some inland lakes which are very nice, ideal world would be lakefrontage with boat dock somewhere powerboats/ wakeboarding is permitted, Lake Holden is a well known one. There are no specific sites I can find that drill this far down, I see individual realtor's sites and several generic "foreclosure" ones, and I'm wondering if there is anything better..
I own an apartment at Cocoa Beach so am conversant with the US buying process and running costs. That was bought "on the spot" following a foreclosure in 2008 so I did practically no research (other than a look in the few realtor's windows as to prices in the block, I got a stonking deal and it more than pays for itself) hence what I'm after is knowing more about where to look more generally, And I am struggling to find decent listing sites. It is rented through a privateer and small local rental agent who does not do sales, or of course I'd ask them, their answer was basically JFGI.

Thanks all,
I bought in 08 when it was $2 for £1, I don't think we'll get back there, but at $1.69 there are still attractive deals (and at least I have half an idea how it works). Interesting the Frenchies can afford to have things sitting around for so long without worrying about it!
