Contemporary house with pool and garden Les Portes-en-Ré (17)
In Portes-en-Ré, a contemporary villa inspired by the island's architecture, over 300 m², with its swimming pool and gym. Behind a long white wall, the property gradually reveals itself in the spirit of the large Rêtaise houses. A gate opens onto a gravel courtyard, while a pedestrian door in the wall leads to a covered porch that marks the entrance. A welcoming garden consists of bamboo, palm trees, grasses, and Mediterranean plants. Beyond that, the villa appears in fragments and is organized into several volumes arranged around various successive patios. The old Rêtaise houses often resulted from the gradual aggregation of buildings related to the activities of salt-makers or winemakers. Living spaces, salt warehouses, or old cellars were connected by courtyards protected from the wind. The property adopts this logic in a contemporary interpretation. The lime-rendered facades, dark shutters, and canal tile roofs reflect the architectural codes of the island, while large glass openings establish a fluid relationship with the outdoors. The entire project, in its volumes as well as its interior arrangements, was designed by architect Jeanne Dumont. The materials assert the character of the building: brick floors laid in a dark pattern on the ground floor, oak flooring with small strips on the upper level, fine carpentry, wooden paneled ceilings, and often custom-made furniture.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Property with pool and garden Lectoure (32)
In the north of Gers, 5 minutes from a historic and tourist spa town, a fortified house from the 13th and 17th centuries and its outbuildings, set on 5 hectares of land. From the departmental road, a stony path 800 meters long leads to the property situated among fields, at the top of a hill. Protected from all vis-à-vis, the house stands facing a small valley, at the bottom of which the Esquère winds among the domain's outbuildings, forming an ensemble that was once surrounded by walls. A municipal hospice in the 13th and 14th centuries, it was occupied by the family of Bishop Martin Gutteria of Pamplona from 1450. The surface of the main building was doubled at the end of the 16th century, while the stair tower was added to the ensemble in the 17th century. The various windows pierced in the façade, as well as the types of masonry, testify to these stages of construction and successive modifications. Several remarkable cross and twin windows, arrow slits and loopholes, are among the preserved elements. The main house, built on rock, rises two levels under unconverted attics, and over a cellar carved out beneath the central part, the oldest. Topped with a two-slope roof covered with canal tiles on the body of the habitation and a roof adorned with flat tiles on the tower, it has retained its authenticity. A terrace with a swimming pool rests against a high stone wall to the south. A first oblong outbuilding, rising two levels under a lower roof than the dwelling, formerly used as a shepherd's hut, stretches towards the east. A second building is set at right angles, forming a U with the main house. A large awning is attached to the east. Opposite, forming a courtyard, a single-storey outbuilding, intended as a shelter for farm animals, has suffered a fire on part of the roof. A stony spring, located below the courtyard, flows to form a small pond.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Manor Montgaroult (61)
On the edge of Normandy Switzerland and the banks of the Orne, a 18th century manor to restore, its outbuildings and equestrian domain on nearly 4 hectares. 15 minutes on foot from the center of the village, a small departmental road leads to the entrance of the estate, enclosed by a schist wall topped with a wrought iron fence. The gate, flanked by stone pilasters crowned with gendarme hats, opens onto a grassy driveway and an honor courtyard that extends in front of the main living quarters. Two other lateral entrances provide access to the outbuildings. The estate was owned by the Lemarchand des Lingeries family for more than a century, from 1745 to 1877. It consists of a main building constructed in the 18th century, extended by a wing. Nestled in its garden, it rises three levels under the roof and is topped with a pavilion roof of flat tiles in orange hues, where four chimney stacks point towards the sky. The rubble is covered with a coating, and the window frames are made of dressed limestone. The large bays, aligned and stacked, are doubled with cross windows in wood. Two turrets, one round and one square, adorn the courtyard side facade. The facade of the wing, built on one level, is made of worked rubble stone and pointed, with red brick cladding framing the windows. The building is topped with a gable roof of slate. At one corner of the wing, on one side and at the back of the manor, there is an outbuilding consisting of a residence and a wellness area. On the exteriors, on one side extend a caretaker's house, a press, and cellars. Opposite are stables, barns, boxes, garages, and sheds. The whole is surrounded by enclosed meadows for horses. The southeast facade of the house faces a garden with a pond and a washhouse.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House with garden Reims (51)
In the Champagne vineyard, half an hour west of Reims, there is a stone house from the 17th century and its garden with a panoramic view of the vineyards. Set back from the main road that runs through the village, the house is located on a hill, in a quiet area, at the corner of a small street and the square of the 12th century Romanesque church. It leaned against the walls of the now-disappeared feudal castle, of which remains a watchtower and a few walls that give it the appearance of a fortress. The garden, with trees and flowers, is completely enclosed by walls, opening through a gate near the gable facing the street. A dependency is found at the end of the garden, concealing a grassy area with an old well. The house is currently operated as a gîte that can be rented in its entirety for ten people or divided into two, accommodating six and four people through two distinct entrances, one on the square side and one on the garden side.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House with pool and garden Estremoz (Portugal)
Near Estremoz, an Alentejo estate comprising traditional dwellings, olive groves and crops.. Five minutes from Estremoz, an estate built in the early 2000s brings together several traditional Alentejo dwellings around an architectural design that respects the old volumes. The complex covers nearly 500 square metres of living space, divided between a main residence organised into two wings connected by arches, a separate house and an annex near the swimming pool. Each wing has its own entrance. The four and a half hectares of hilly land feature an olive grove, an orchard and a vegetable garden irrigated by two boreholes, an old well and a pond. Water self-sufficiency allows for agricultural use without dependence on the mains supply. The proximity of Estremoz does not detract from the tranquillity of the location. With its layout and multiple spaces, the property is equally suited to family life, a hospitality project or a retirement home in the Alentejo hinterland.

Property with garden Saint-Sauveur-en-Puisaye (89)
A stately dwelling and its enclosed garden in the middle of a village, recognised as a “Town of Character”, two hours from Paris, nestled within the Puisaye countryside. In a village with picturesque lanes lined with stately homes, one in particular stands out thanks to its many entrances: a painted ornate metal door opens on to the property’s garden, a wooden door topped with a fanlight is used as the dwelling’s front door, a restored double-leaf gate, near the outbuildings, provides vehicle access, while a final door is located in the back of the garden, surrounded by vegetation. In addition, a lovely flagstone patio skirts the dwelling on one side and, extending on from here, the grounds feature a stone bench, ideal for relaxing under the shade of the birches, as well as an ancient greenhouse, whereas a well surrounded by grass could be repurposed and an ancient drinking trough next to the woodshed provides an additional touch of charm to the premises. Lastly, a small path leads to a gravel drive, reserved for vehicle parking, located next to the outbuildings with their red shutters, the colour of which is identical to that of the double-leaf gate, while, sheltered from view, a small vegetable garden is planted with raspberry bushes as well as other fruits and vegetables.

Property with pool and garden Agen (47)
An entirely restored 18th-century residence with outbuildings, on 11 hectares of land, like a Provence fortified village, in the Lot-et-Garonne area, near Agen. A limestone track branches off from a country road and leads on for approximately 150 metres, lined on one side by overhanging crags and on the other by alternating dense foliage as well as meadows below. The narrow, one-way lane splits as it reaches the buildings, with one leading to the residence, while the other curves round to rejoin the road further on. The entrance to the property is marked by a first wrought iron gate, while a second, more imposing, 18th-century one welcomes the visitor opposite the house’s enclosed courtyard. The main façade can be seen behind a small wall topped with wrought iron railings. The two-storey building is made with ashlar and has been rendered with lime on the southern wing. The hipped roof made of Romanesque tiles is underlined by a double or even triple genoise corbel as well as rainwater gutters. The arrangement on each level of an odd number of windows is symmetrical in its positioning: the ground floor is bathed in light through wide, small-paned windows, while the first floor is dotted with half-moon windows. The window frames are underlined in ochre-coloured tones and fitted with painted wooden shutters, providing discrete sophistication to the building as a whole. The main section forms an L-shape with the west wing and boasts a sober and elegant façade at the end of the courtyard. On the ground floor, two windows flank the period, solid wood, 18th-century entrance door. The outbuildings can be found to the east. Over the last twenty years, the current occupants have graced the estate with abundant vegetation that has shaped its character. Following a southern French spirit, Provence cypress, olive, pittosporum and other evergreen trees seem to have belonged to the landscape since time immemorial. They combine with ponds, fountains, statues, garden ornaments and stone walls. A swimming pool has been harmoniously incorporated into the garden.

Castle Ydes (15)
A 19th-century Palladian chateau, its outbuildings, tree-filled grounds, a swimming pool and vegetable garden, on the border of the Corrèze and Cantal departments. Seen from above, the chateau’s footprint is a reminder that it was built below the vestiges of a fortified castle constructed around 1470, which once belonged to the same family. Located on the outskirts of the village and nestled within a verdant setting, from its entrance gate, a lane skirts the grounds’ immense expanses of lawn before arriving at the chateau. Steeped in the heritage of French Palladian dwellings from the early 19th century, when Palladio’s influence was combined with local classicism, the use of carefully dressed blonde stone and the regularity of the stonework conveys the desire to make the building as durable as possible, according to a rational architectural ideal, while its white louvred shutters help lighten the chateau’s overall and impressive heft. Surrounded by a wide array of tall trees: limes, thuyas, beeches and different resinous varieties, directly opposite the chateau, several metres from the swimming pool and skirting a portion of the wall that separates the property from a private drive, a perennial flowerbed is planted with rosebushes in an array of shimmering colours. In addition, a barn, adjacent to the chateau, is used as a garage and the machine room for the swimming pool, while, set back at a distance, a small 16th-century manor house, with its own garden and a central staircase tower, abuts the grounds’ southern entrance. As for the grounds, they include a variety of different spaces, such as a vegetable garden, a piece of land zoned for construction and two grassy plots, whereas four agricultural parcels with two barns, each with 400 m², can be purchased with the property at an additional price.

Bastide Toulon (83)
A 750-m² renovated villa, owned by the same family for the past two centuries, with 4.5 hectares of farmland, a swimming pool and vast grounds, near Toulon. The property, facing north-south, covers an immense rectangular-shaped area of 4.5 hectares. Accessible from the B road to the south via the main entrance, followed by an olive tree-lined lane of nearly 200 metres, the property also has a second, more discreet entrance, located on its northern side and accessible via a small public road, while two wooded areas can also be found on the property: one to the north, near the buildings and, the other, to the southwest. As for the property, currently used for weddings and seminars, it would also be ideal, after some minimal modifications, as a family residence, a bed and breakfast or charming holiday accommodations. The edifice, built in 1730 and then meticulously renovated in 2012, displays the classical appearance of a three-storey construction, cadenced by five vertical rows of windows and topped with a hipped roof. Abutting the northwest side of the villa is a 17th-century building, also renovated, which includes a professional kitchen on its garden level and a caretaker’s flat upstairs.

House with pool and garden Saint-Gaudens (31)
A large bourgeois house from the early 19th century and its grounds with swimming pool, one hour from Toulouse, in the Comminges region. The property is accessible from the street via a large gate, which opens onto a small drive. The staff lodgings, which could be included in the sale, have been restored and are located along the wall that separates the two buildings. The manor house, built in 1870, has either two or three storeys, depending on its various volumes, and is topped with single-pitch, gable, three-sided and hipped slate rooftops. Built out of ashlar stone and covered in ochre-colour plaster, three rectangular sections or foreparts as well as a square tower make up the asymmetrical and elegant building, the various features of which recall the Gothic Revival style. With an exterior designed in such a way as to provide the dwelling with both its character and identity, its light-colour ashlar stone pilasters with smooth rusticated stonework and sharp corners accentuate its various angles. The house’s colourful friezes with geometric patterns in blue, red and cream, crenels and stone or zinc mouldings along the cornice, wraparound stringcourses as well as the roofs’ projecting eaves, all contribute to the building’s overall elegant appearance and characteristic ornamental grace. The pinkish ochre of its exterior walls highlights all of its decorative elements, while the plain stone or beige-colour plaster-coated window and door surrounds, corners, foundation and stringcourses showcase the structure of the architecture’s volumes. The manor’s large-paned windows and doors, mainly rectangular in shape, have flat or moulded surrounds, some of which are highlighted by a windowsill, an entablature, fanlights or a balcony with a stone guardrail for those facing south, while the tower, with mostly rounded or dropped arch windows, is illuminated by triple windows on each side of its top floor. In addition, a round oculus crowns the manor’s central second-floor window to the south and an arched window overlooks the rectangular glass doors that open onto the first-floor patio facing east.

Listed castle Avignon (84)
The “Mas de la Brune”, a listed, Renaissance-style gem, its 4 ha of parklands and its gardens at the foot of the Alpilles mountains in Eygalières. At the end of a row of two-hundred-year-old horse chestnut trees, three interconnected constructions comprise the buildings on this predominantly wooded, 4-ha property. The first is the Renaissance-style manor house, known as the “Mas de la Brune”, constructed in 1572; the only building of this type, standing in the middle of the land, rising up like a nave, proudly showing visitors the prow of its watch-turret. Directly adjoining the manor, a more recent construction dating from the 18th century stands in the shade of a three-hundred-year-old lime tree. This building once housed the staff accommodation. And lastly, on the east side, where a perimeter wall no doubt once existed, a rehabilitated farmhouse is separated from the manor by a row of cypress trees. Opening on to a vast courtyard that extends behind the French formal garden, it acts as a link with the rest of the parklands, where the permanent singing of the precious water, coming down from the Alpilles Mountains via the canal of the same name, can be heard. The French Historic Monument listing, dating from the 9 August 1924, applies solely to the “Mas de la Brune”, already showing on Cassini’s 18th century map under the name of “Grand Mas”. Some say it was constructed for the consul Pierre-Bruno-Isnard, who gave it the feminine version of his surname, whilst others maintain it was for an alchemist, whose name is long forgotten. In both cases, this outstanding building, entirely constructed from Baux stone, was probably built by master mason, Gaston-Flayelle, native of the Vivarais region, who also designed the “Hôtel de Manville” in Les-Baux-de-Provence. The size of the manor house, its biblical paraphrases sculpted on the façade, like a big open book, and including the secret number of steps of its spiral stairway tend to reinforce the hypothesis of an alchemist’s home. A spacious tiled swimming pool, cleverly concealed from onlookers in a copse of laurel bushes, has been installed a good distance from the main house. And lastly, a carpark, out of sight of the manor but able to take ten or so cars, has been laid out in the shade of mulberry plane trees.

Castle Toulouse (31)
An elegant 19th century chateau, its orangery, guest houses, water feature and 8.5 hectares of grounds, just 40 minutes from Toulouse city centre . The main entrance to the estate is situated away from the main thoroughfares, and leads to an earthen esplanade bordered by a low wall protecting a cypress hedge. Braced by two fluted, rusticated columns with floral motifs, the wrought iron gate with its fine scrolls opens onto a driveway that winds through the parkland featuring centuries-old trees. To the left, perched on a small hill, the five-storey chateau overlooks the entire estate. Built on the site of a former 16th-century fortified castle, it has a four-sided slate roof. Its perron offers a view over the park and its lawn, which gently slopes towards the main entrance. To the west of the chateau, there is a dovecote with arcades and a pagoda-like flat-tile roof topped by a lantern. The remaining outbuildings are situated to the south, in the eastern part of the grounds: they comprise villas that have been turned into gîtes (guest lodgings), as well as another annexe awaiting restoration. Opposite the chateau, a water feature takes pride of place in the centre of the lawn, bordered by centuries-old trees. To the right, there is a swimming pool with pool house, followed by an orangery. The orangery is bordered by a terrace that runs along one side of the pond and preceded by a parking area. Finally, a track at the back leads to one of the estate's secondary entrances. It should be noted that the estate, which is still in activity, could be sold in the form of two companies: a SCI (non-trading property company) owning the land and a SARL (limited liability company) operating the estate, which will manage events and hospitality rentals. As a result, the property benefits from attractive tax incentives.
