House with pool and garden Bazoches-sur-Guyonne (78)
A specially designed house with a swimming pool and 3,500m² of grounds, nestled near the town of Montfort-l'Amaury in France’s Yvelines department next to Paris. The property, which covers around 3,500m², lies just outside the village. A lane runs alongside the property and leads to the forest. The plot is located on the edge of this forest. A hedge and a sliding gate hide the house, which is surrounded by a tree-dotted garden. The dwelling is set back from the road by around 20 metres. Just in front of the main door, there is an outdoor entrance area where several vehicles can be parked. A car shelter stands in this space too. The house dates back to 1976. It is built of pale ashlar. Its slate roof was entirely renovated in 2022. A vast terrace of exotic timber extends on the house’s west side. A heated swimming pool sits in this terrace. The pool is eight metres long and four metres wide and is fitted with a counter-current system. The terrace looks down at a sloping lawn. This commanding position underlines the impression of space on the property. And the garden is not at all overlooked, which also underlines the sense of space here.

Mas Sisteron (04)
A more than 140-hectare hunting estate with an 18th-century Provence farmhouse, in the Alpes de Haute-Provence area. The estate can be reached via a discrete tarmacked track that winds through the greenery to the entrance gate. Beyond the gate, the grounds of the vast, entirely fenced, 138-hectare estate, fully preserved from any hustle and bustle, are divided into two separate parts. An old edifice made from local stone and built in the 18th century can only be seen from inside the estate, tucked away in the centre of the first part of the grounds. The typical Provence farmhouse stands in the middle of meadows overlooking the valley. It is set around a central courtyard and includes several independent homes. There is a summer kitchen that is dominated by a swimming pool surrounded by a covered patio and a summer lounge, boasting a panoramic view over the Alpine relief. A second entrance on the Luberon side of the property can be reached by carefully maintained tracks. They also lead to almost 3 hectares of truffle oak trees whose produce is farmed and sold, as well as two lakes. As for the outbuildings, a large edifice contains several garages, a workshop and storage space for agricultural equipment. A well-structured kennel area is made up of twenty boxes, all of which are lit and boast a water supply. The water supply for the estate, which has become a crucial issue in southern France, is guaranteed by a 105-metre-deep borehole fitted with a submersible pump in 2020 that fills a 75-m³ water reserve equipped with a UV treatment system. Several springs and a traditional Provence stone well further enable the property to be self-sufficient in terms of water. The estate is connected to the electricity as well as telephone networks and also boasts potential for production of photovoltaic solar energy.

House with garden Dijon (21)
An 18th-century mill, outbuildings and millstream which can be swum in near Beaune and Dijon, at the intersection of the Morvan and Auxois regions . Accessed via a private driveway, the property is set in more than 15 000 m² of wooded grounds that stretche discreetly between the Arroux river and wooded foothills. The entrance opens to reveals a group of buildings neatly arranged around an inner courtyard, with an 18th-century water mill at the back, the central feature of the estate and now the main building, that opens onto a peaceful pool of shimmering water. The reflection of the sky and the waterfall bring the estate to life throughout the day. Around the courtyard, the outbuildings are vestiges of its past farming activity: a cowshed, a barn, a miller's house, a stable, a set of sheds including a henhouse and an old pigsty. The mill has full water rights, a legal status inherited from the Ancien Régime, which attests to its existence prior to 1789 and grants the owner privileged use of water resources without any administrative constraints.

Apartment with pool Laudun-l'Ardoise (30)
A 310-m² dwelling in a 12th-century chateau, registered as a national Historical Monument, with moats, grounds and outbuildings, 30 minutes from Avignon and Uzès, in the Provencal Gard region. Not far from the banks of the Rhône, this chateau is one of the region’s most characteristic monuments, the landscape of which is influenced by winemaking and the richness of its soil, fed by the canals flowing from the peaceful neighbouring waterway, which once provided access to the river. Making skilful use of its strategic position, its construction, on a site that was most likely already occupied during the Carolingian period, dates back to the 12th century with an initial dwelling abutting a defensive tower. However, it was not until the 16th century that it was considerably developed in order to become the impressive edifice of one of the most prominent families in southern France, as well as one of the few in south-eastern France to have a defensive system composed of moats, still filled by a neighbouring stream, which are, in turn surrounded by a curtain of plane trees. From the 12th century, the chateau preserved its corner tower in the northwest, cadenced by impressive arrow slits, while two other towers (including a dovecote) flank the eastern and south-eastern corners of the three three-storey main buildings. The whole surrounds an immense formal courtyard closed off to the south by a high wall, accessible via a massive door with vermiculated rustic stonework, whereas the former rampart walk was transformed into a path along the banks of the moats. In addition, a stone bridge has now replaced the former drawbridge, which today has all but disappeared except for the bases of two of its piers. As for the buildings’ understated exteriors, cadenced by cross-windows and several more recent low-arched windows, they are somewhat counterbalanced by the richly carved doors in the central building and chapel. Saved from ruin in 1978 and registered as a national Historical Monument, the chateau was the subject of a comprehensive restoration project in the 2000s, which resulted in the creation of accommodations combining modern comforts with an unconditional respect for the property’s heritage. Located on the first floor of the chateau’s western wing and partially situated in what was once the Estates General room, the flat occupies a section built between 1572 and 1590 for Marshall de Joyeuse and communicates with a second, independent flat.

House with garden Bagneux (92)
A 19th-century manor house, with a modern extension and landscaped garden, on a plot of more than 2 000 m² in the old town of Bagneux . Four minutes on foot from the main square of the old town of Bagneux, the main residence, part of the municipality's protected built heritage, has stood on a walled plot of more than 2 000 m² since 1843. The floor tiles and parquet flooring, the high ceilings, the mouldings and the views over the large, well-kept garden and the protected landscaped area make this a unique residence. Since the early 2000s, a modern, flat-roofed extension, inspired by the Brutalist style, has been added, creating an aesthetic contrast. On the garden level, on either side of a through corridor, are found the living areas: a double, three-way reception room, with a French window providing access to the garden, and a comfortable dining room, visually linked to the kitchen by a large, custom-made glass wall. All rooms open onto the greenery. In the modern section, two comfortable, bright bedrooms, each with its own shower room and separate toilet, occupy the main level. The basement, semi-underground and lit by basement window wells, contains two large rooms, currently used as offices or libraries. The first floor of the old house, accessed by an oak spiral staircase, has three bedrooms. One of these, measuring around 15 m², leads to a room with a window that has been converted into a spacious wardrobe. The second, which is large (around 17 m²) is used as an office and the third is a small bedroom measuring around 9 m². The bedrooms are next to a bathroom and a separate toilet. A trapdoor in the ceiling provides access, via a retractable staircase, to the vast attic space under the tiled, hip roof, which was renovated and insulated in 2004. Finally, the old house has an underground level that takes up its entire floor area. In addition to a large vaulted cellar, there is a laundry room and a workshop housing the boiler room. The property, surrounded by stone walls lined with a belt of trees and shrubs, can be accessed from two sides, each opening onto a gate. A semi-private driveway running alongside the plot also provides parking space for several vehicles.

Property with pool and garden Chinon (37)
An 18th-century residence, with 16th-century outbuildings and a formal garden, in the Loire Valley, near Chinon. At the corner of two small streets in the village centre, an ironwork gate framed by two embossed pillars opens into the main courtyard. The property was completed at the end of the 15th century and was destined at the time for collection of land tax for the king. In the middle of the 16th century, it was acquired by the Dreux family who owned it until the French Revolution. Its occupants were in turn an officer of the waterways and forests of Chinon, prosecutor for the bailiwick of the same town and a king's adviser. It was partially burned in 1789, after which the main building was restored in the Directory era style. The three-storey building has a hipped roof dotted with four gable dormers with triangular pediments. The tuffeau stone façade is topped by a modillon cornice. The many 18th-century bay windows enable light to stream into both sides of the house. The 16th-century outbuildings, found on either side of the house, are also made of tuffeau stone, combining façades of dressed stone and rubble stone. The roofs are made of slate and one of the buildings is topped by a hipped roof with slightly drawn back eaves. In addition to bedrooms and living rooms, the outbuildings contain two plum ovens that are closely linked to the municipality’s history, a bread oven, an orangery and a functioning well. In front of the house, the symmetry of the formal garden provides rhythm to the main courtyard. To the rear, there is a landscaped garden and a swimming pool. At a depth of 12 metres, there is a cellar with many tuffeau stone vaults, the use of which can still be read on the stone. The property stands in a fully enclosed plot of 4,521 m².

House with pool Anet (28)
One hour west of Paris, on the border of Eure and Yvelines, there is an impressive contemporary manor and its garden spanning over 1 hectare. Built at the center of the park, at the end of a path lined with apple trees, the residence consists of a main body and two asymmetrical wings returning at right angles. Raised over two levels and flanked by two square towers, the dwelling is punctuated by numerous windows and dormer windows. The building is organized around a courtyard paved with large slabs, where a heated swimming pool has been set up. The roofs are made of flat tiles, topped with glazed ceramic finials representing animals. These ornaments come from the potteries of Mesnil-de-Bavent, a renowned Norman factory. The façades are made of fieldstone, enhanced with Vosges sandstone around the window frames and at the corners, while the gutters and downspouts are made of copper. Some of the construction materials come from the old farmhouse that once occupied this land: the stones, tiles, and framework have been salvaged, sorted, and reused. The north wing includes a barn of about 100 m², with an automatic door. In the garden, near the bank, a brick house of about 50 m², raised over two levels, currently serves as a storage place.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A restored, 19th-century manor, in the south of the Manche area, at the crossroads of three regions. A wrought iron gate in a tall stone wall opens from the street into the property, which boasts great architectural and landscaping coherence. The manor was built in the 19th century and stands in the middle of the grounds. Its sober silhouette is marked by an adroit mixture of Art Nouveau and Anglo-Norman styles. The property’s overall balance is reinforced by the immaculate and harmonious interior decorations and fittings.

Castle Trélon (59)
A vast brick and stone mansion with a 20th-century extension, in the middle of a small town in the Hauts-de-France region, 8 km from the Belgian border. The mansion, which takes its name from a former mendicant order in Syria, was initially built as a convent. Construction work on it began in 1724 and was finished in 1729, thanks to funding obtained by the nuns from Duchess Marie-Célestine de Holstein-Rethwisch. In 1792, in the fury of the French Revolution, the outside chapel and part of the cloisters were destroyed before the buildings were rented, between 1801 and 1863, by a private owner to the local authorities to host the police services and prison. It was then purchased in 1927 by the municipality and transformed into a hospice which was officially inaugurated in 1933. In the meantime, between 1873 and 1885, it was revamped as a stately home for the Moreau de la Tour-Godard-Desmaret family. Lastly, from 1979 to 1983, as well as in 1989, the building was modernised with an extension to the south, part of which was demolished several years ago. An entrance porch with a slate roof leads into the grounds in front of the mansion to the east. The main façade, with three storeys, stands out thanks to its brick and stone settings as well as the symmetry of its central section. In the second half of the 19th century, a scroll pediment and two balconies were added to the initial construction of 1724, on the western façade. Additionally, the main section has a half hipped slate roof dotted with hipped dormers and a chimney stack. To the north, there is a wing with a square tower topped by a slate pavilion roof with a zinc ridge cap, while to the south there is a wing with a similar roof. To the west, two flights of stone steps lead down into the grounds, which spread around the mansion over approximately 7,000 m² and include lawns and copses as well as almost 1,000 m² which can be built upon.
