    If you want a work permit, try finding a job there first.

    You apply for a work visa at the French embassy in the USA (google it). Never heard of owing property in France translating to residency (a lot of Brits own French property.. they’ll be damned if they let a bunch of Anglais take over their country). Usually you can gain French naturalization if you live in France for 5 years (they will reduce it to 2 if you graduate from a French uni).

    You’d be best going for a Long Stay Visa with no professional purpose. (2nd link).

    Bon voyage.
