luxury real estate for sale Loire, France (page 3)

The house is a 19th-century 'folie', with 'art nouveau' architecture that bears witness to a flourishing industrial era. Its guests are still captivated by its character and the quality of its original materials, which have shaped its history. This property is within walking distance of all amenities. It lies at an altitude of 625 m, in the natural Pilat massif, at the end of the Loire and on the borders of the Ardèche, almost 1 hour from Lyon, divided between the market town and the countryside. The estate boasts a rare amount of space, with more than 1,140 m2 of floor space and almost 2 hectares of adjoining land, much of it enclosed in stone, as well as numerous outbuildings. A 65m2 caretaker's cottage stands guard at the entrance to the grounds, which include a 100m2 garage with awning, a swimming pool and a number of gîtes. The garden's beauty is enhanced by its age-old trees, which seem to punctuate its contours, forming a walkway and a green setting that shields the orchard, the former aviary and the villa from view. Here and there, a spring flows down to form a pond. Supported by its cellars, the manor house offers 515m2 of living space, with its living rooms facing south-east, overlooking the meadow and the peaceful surroundings. On the ground floor, the monumental entrance staircase with its wrought-iron banister comes to life under the stained-glass windows, and the floor is decorated with a Paray-le-Monial mosaic, while the wooden floors echo underfoot from one reception room to the next. The generous volumes are still adorned with marble fireplaces and wood panelling, in keeping with the néogothique style that the romanticism of the period brought back into fashion. With its slender 2-storey layout, the house provided sufficient space for its 12 bedrooms. Facilities are already in place to encourage entertaining and well-being projects. The property offers almost 45 beds, including 5 chalets that together provide 170m2 of additional living space. Responding to the region's tourist appeal, the manor house has stood the test of time and lost none of its appeal. Its assets have been preserved, and successive efforts to insulate and renovate it have made it easier to pass on this exceptional property, which is ideally suited to entertaining.

The John Taylor Lyon agency is pleased to present this chateau, built in the 14th century, transformed in the 19th century by an Italian owner who wanted to give it the Loire chateau style. It then became a sanatorium, then the property of an English lady wishing to open a Bed and Breakfast. The estate had fallen into disrepair, but over the past 6 years, its current owners have brought it back to life. The architecture is unique for the region, with slate roofs maintained and tended each year, and whitewashed facades. The high windows on the facades are fitted with double-glazed, burglar-proof glass and adorned with majestic hangings. The chateau and its outbuildings meet the highest standards for events, weddings, seminars, etc. Previously unheated, the owners have installed underfloor central heating with a pellet-fired boiler. The entire estate is connected to mains drainage. The building comprises a 3-storey château with elegant reception rooms and lounges on the first floor, plus a fully equipped kitchen; the upper floors are devoted to sleeping quarters, with 13 en-suite bedrooms. The 4-storey, classically-styled mansion houses bedrooms and dormitories with different shower rooms. In all, the estate can accommodate 60 guests. The ballroom, with its delicate frescoes on ceilings and walls, imitation parquet flooring, drapes, sparkling crystal chandeliers, sumptuous Venetian mirrors and vases borrowed from the Medici style, will leave no one indifferent. Access for the disabled has been created at the rear of the building. This room can accommodate over 200 guests. The orangery features an open-plan kitchen opening onto a large living room. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. Finally, a former pigeon house is being renovated with electricity and water connections. The 2-hectare park has also been redeveloped, with new trees planted for greenery and beautiful fountains and wrought-iron arbors for ambiance. A three-hundred-year-old weeping beech enthroned in the middle of the park is classified as a remarkable tree. The fountains are fed by natural springs. The estate is surrounded by a stone wall. The estate also includes a riding arena and a huge tarmac parking lot. Let yourself be seduced by the refinement of the premises and be carried away in a project combining the private with the professional, I am at your disposal to continue the work accomplished: Claire Barralon, John Taylor LYON agency, on 07 60 13 70 00, [email protected], real estate agent registered with the RSC of LYON under number 904 488 533.

An old wine fermentation building converted into a delightful dwelling, nestled in a village on an outcrop in France’s Loire department. The house stands at the end of a cul-de-sac that begins with a small bridge over a stream. The dwelling has two floors and a gabled roof of monk-and-nun tiling. It faces south and looks at the village’s chateau. A climbing rose bush and a vine grow up its rendered walls, which are punctuated with many rectangular windows fitted with solid and louvered shutters. Upstairs, at the front, a small terrace with a timber balustrade, set back, offers a viewpoint where you can admire the countryside surrounding the edifice. At the back, the building is half underground. The sloping garden that stretches around the dwelling makes the house look smaller than it really is. The property is nestled in the heart of a village, yet its bucolic surroundings are astonishingly peaceful. Life inside this dwelling is not disturbed by any unwanted noise or sights. Here, rural calm reigns.

A 17th century stately manor house, its outbuildings and chapel surrounded by 1 8 hectares of grounds in the “Hauts du Beaujolais” region. The property, completely enclosed by high stone walls, comes into view at the end of a country lane, half-way up a hill crowned with woodland. This vast rural space is shared with a group of 19th century farm buildings and greenhouses that used to form an integral part of the property. The high, golden stone walls typical of the nearby Beaujolais region protect the 1.8 ha of grounds, which form two different parts of the estate. On the one hand, in the immediate vicinity of the manor house, there is a parterre with a geometric Latin cross pattern emphasised by angular topiaries, leading to a lateral access ramp to the terrace of the residence known as 'the chateau'. On the other hand, taking up the rest of the grounds, there is an English-style landscaped garden bordered on one side by a small canal and a dormant orchard below. A majestic bicentennial Lebanese cedar dominates the landscaped garden, towering over most of the other conifers and the lime trees. A very large pool, which could be converted into a swimming pool, appears at the bend of the ramp leading to the terrace of the manor house, next to the unpaved track leading to a votive chapel at the far end of the grounds. To the north, a group of outbuildings is arranged in a U-shape around the residence. Together with the rear elevation of the manor house, it forms a carriage courtyard, accessed via a service gate. These vast outbuildings, which include a caretaker's cottage, a stable and barns, are in need of complete restoration. The family, who lived here from the beginning of the 18th century until 1943, with a tragic incident during the French Revolution, left numerous remains, testimonials and archives. The estate was dedicated exclusively to agriculture. Over the centuries, this has protected the authenticity of the original materials that make up the buildings, witnesses of a number of traditional skills, many of which have now disappeared.
