    Seaside house with garden Brest (29)

    A 19th-century villa with outbuildings and a 1,900-m² garden, less than 100 metres from a white sand beach in the Finistère department. In need of a full restoration, the rubble stone, L-shaped villa is one of the town’s oldest buildings. Built around a courtyard, it has a slate roof, faces northeast and includes two adjacent stone wings, each with their own entrance, which could be separated in order to create two dwellings. With three storeys, including a ground floor, a main floor and a second floor under the eaves, its plaster-coated main façade is cadenced by rectilinear windows, while the back of the house, in exposed rubble stone, has granite window and door surrounds and faces an initial garden that separates the villa from the property’s outbuildings. In addition, a large plot of land, partially planted with trees and located behind the stone outbuilding facing the villa, could be used for a real estate project, with an independent entrance already located at one end, whereas two stone annexe buildings, set back from the main dwelling and extending on from the courtyard, could be used as sheds, workshops or storage rooms, as needed.

    House with garden and terrace Valence D Agen (82)

    Former relay of St. James of Compostela from the 18th century and its park. Along the GR65, the historic path to Compostela, the original building, raised in two levels, features brick façades, Garonne pebbles, and partially rendered Quercy stones. Each level is topped with a molded cornice and divided into three bays that form a symmetrical composition of classical arrangement. The building is crowned by a remarkable hipped roof with ten slopes covered in canal tiles. The main façade is pierced by nine openings whose low arches consist of an alternation between dressed stones from Quercy and pink bricks. A scallop shell of St. James carved into the key of the stone arch from Quercy marks the entrance of the residence, overlooked by a balcony with symmetrical vegetal scrolls and a central palmette in wrought iron. At the top, above a triangular pediment with a frieze and molded cornice, a fleur-de-lis reigns supreme. Flanking the house, a shed and an old wine store complete the dwelling. At the back, a contemporary extension has replaced the old one. Bordered by masonry walls and buildings, a terrace of about one hundred square meters with gray paving leads to the park, entirely enclosed by a fence, shrubs, and trees. To the south, a pigeon house rises over two levels. On the other side of the alley where the Jacquets walk, there is a secondary garden. The residence has a living space of nearly 490 m², in addition to the more than 90 m² of the shed and about 80 m² of the wine store. It houses two living rooms, a dining room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and, on the first floor, two bedrooms with a bathroom and one with a shower room.This description has been automatically translated from French.

    House with pool and garden Forcalquier (04)

    An 18th-century Provençal villa with an olive grove, spring and pool at the foot of Lure Mountain in France’s Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department. The villa was built in 1712 by a squire of King Louis XIV of France. Terraced with dry-stone retaining walls, the plot slopes down southwards, covering a hectare of tree-dotted land. Before, the main house was edged with a French formal garden with enclosing walls on three sides. Indeed, the pillars of the old gate that led into this former garden can still be seen. The house is elongated in shape. It has two main elevations. On its south side, it has three levels: a garden-level floor, a raised ground floor and a first floor. There is a series of outbuildings too, mainly grouped together opposite the villa’s lower level. A driveway, punctuated with cypresses, runs alongside an olive grove up to a parking area, then ends up at a gravelled court behind the house. Beside the eastern gable wall, a fountain adjoins a former drinking trough. Made of stone, this drinking trough dates back to the 17th century. It has been masterfully turned into a delightful swimming pool. There is a natural spring on the plot. It provides the property with some of its water. The roofing and elevations are typical of traditional local architecture.

    House with garden Macon (71)

    In Burgundy, at the gates of Mâcon and its wine-growing region, a 16th-century tower and dwelling. The property was historically located at a strategic crossroads, making it possible to once control an ancient Roman road and the tracks leading to several neighbouring fortresses. The current edifice, composed of a tower and an oblong dwelling, dates from the 16th century at the latest. It is fronted on its eastern and southern façades by a pleasant shady garden, with a bread oven and an outhouse at its entrance.

    House with pool and garden Solliès-Toucas (83)

    An 18th-century Provencal dwelling and a small cottage surrounded by one hectare of flat grounds, alongside a river, twenty minutes from the beach. From the B road that connects Solliès-Pont to Solliès-Toucas, a small lane, which winds its way through a residential neighbourhood, provides access to the property’s entrance, located on the edge of a hillside. Past the gate, the drive provides glimpses of the last vestiges of the valley’s lime kiln activity – operational between 1815 and 1903 – where two 150-metre horizontal gypsum extraction galleries are still visible. At the end of the drive, several parking spots were created on the different terraced levels to the north of the main dwelling, making it possible to easily park five or six vehicles, while the sound of water is audible from the nearby irrigation canal that supplies water for the entire property via the use of stone sluice gates, which routes and distributes water throughout the grounds. Featuring a path that makes it possible to circumnavigate the entire dwelling, to the left of the cottage, used as a guesthouse, is a large piece of land, sheltered from view, which gradually descends towards the Gapeau River and provides breath-taking views of the hills in the backgrounds. As for the two dwellings, placed near one another at a right angle, they communicate with one another via adjacent patios, which are located along the dwelling’s eastern exterior and the cottage’s southern counterpart. With plaster-coated exteriors, largely devoid of any decoration, and rectilinear wide windows, in various shapes and placed in a somewhat symmetrical manner, the dwellings are topped with barrel tile single-slope roofs – one for the cottage and two offset ones for the main dwelling – in addition to the porch roof that shades its patio to the east. Moreover, these buildings boast several original touches that make them stand out from traditional Provencal constructions, such as the juxtaposition of the dwelling’s two volumes, vestiges of the transformations that it underwent over the course of its history, as well as the wrap-around layout of its windows on the top floor, which provide panoramic and enchanting views of the surrounding countryside.

    Manor Lamballe-Armor (22)

    A 16th-century manor house with outbuildings on nearly 4 hectares of land, 20 minutes from the beaches, in the Côtes-d'Armor area. The property forms a large square around a courtyard. Built in the 16th century, the original manor house remained unfinished, as evidenced by the projecting stones still visible on the facade of the east wing, which comprises a ground-floor hall, an upper hall, and an attic. The gabled roof is pierced by a dormer window with sculpted pilasters and lintels. The west wing, with its slate gabled roof and dormer windows, includes two ground-floor halls and an attic. The entire building is constructed of granite and pink sandstone rubble. The corner quoins are granite, as are the window and door surrounds, some of which are sculpted. A tower to the north houses a spiral staircase. Meadows extend to the north, south, and west.

    Castle Quantilly (18)

    An 18th-century chateau with annexes and 15 hectares of grounds, nestled in central France, near the city of Bourges and the Menetou-Salon vineyards. The grounds cover 15 hectares, including 10 hectares of wooded parkland, which is criss-crossed with bridlepaths. The chateau stands out for its classical architecture, which is typical of grand French homes from the second half of the 18th century. It has a symmetrical plan, with a central section flanked with two pavilions that give structure to the south-facing facade. The edifice has a raised ground floor, a noble first floor and a second floor in the roof space, beneath a remarkable mansard slate roof. The roof is punctuated with triangular-pediment dormers, bull’s-eye windows and imposing chimney stacks that add to the elegant appearance and general form of the edifice. The facade is plain and refined. Tall casement windows bring an abundance of natural light into the rooms. The window surrounds of dressed stone, the stringcourses and the quoins all underline the quality of the edifice’s design, which is even and noble. A vast central flight of front steps showcases and leads up to the main entrance door, emphasising the symmetry of the edifice. Slender turrets adjoin the edges and add a picturesque dimension to the edifice, underlining its majestic character. They bear witness to embellishments that were probably added in the 19th century with respect for the original building. The chateau looks out at a classically inspired garden with geometric flowerbeds, well-structured paths and carefully designed vistas. The close relation between the edifice’s architecture and its landscaped grounds is part of a tradition of grand French country homes designed to combine comfort, representation and harmony with a natural backdrop. Today, the majestic property forms a characterful haven with timeless charm, illustrating an art of living and the residential built heritage of 18th-century and 19th-century France.

    Castle La Roche-Posay (86)

    Within the Brenne Regional Natural Park, A 19th-century estate with pool and grounds of nearly 2 ha.

    Mas Vidauban (83)

    35 minutes from the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, in the plain of Maures, a 19th-century longère is undergoing renovation on a plot of 8.7 hectares. A narrow road serving a few scattered houses leads directly to the north of the property, after which a dirt path leads to the dwelling. Its north façade, raised over two levels, features five large openings on the upper floor and three small openings on the ground floor. The south façade is pierced with five straight openings at garden level and six on the upper floor. They are fitted with shutters, the water green color harmoniously matching the local stone, pointing, that was used for the construction of the building. To the south, the façade faces the countryside, where a prime garden remains to be developed. The corner chainings are marked by dressed stones and the bay frames by discreet bricks. The roof, entirely redone with canal tiles, is bordered by a double ogee that significantly contributes to the traditional appearance of southern houses. While the sober dwelling has recently undergone a restoration that respects the original architecture and focuses on comfort for its occupants, it still needs to be finished. It has about 110 m² per level, mainly with three large rooms at garden level – the future living room, dining room, and kitchen – and soon four large bedrooms with private bathrooms on the upper floor, under exposed beams. A shed in the western part of the land still needs to be developed. Finally, on the south side, a spring would allow for the creation of a pond.This description has been automatically translated from French.

    Private mansion with garden Centre Ville - Coutances (50)

    A 17th-century townhouse with a walled garden, 15 minutes from the sea, in France’s Manche department in Normandy. The townhouse Hôtel Paquet de Beauvais was built in 1650. It stands just a stone’s throw from Coutances town centre. It has a central section framed between two wings. On the street side, there is a gravel court, closed with a monumental gate. Over the course of history, the edifice was home to several judicial officers, then to Counter Admiral Jacques Félix Emmanuel Hamelin (1766–1826), before housing the Coutances subprefecture office from 1802 to 1830. Slate roofs crown all its built sections. The elevations are made of dressed stone and punctuated with tall small-paned windows fitted with louvred shutters. The slate roofs have dormers with pediments. A trained wisteria climbs up the elevations and showcases the main entrance, which stands at the top of a flight of stone steps. The house offers a 285m² liveable floor area spread over two main levels. There are several reception rooms, an office and five bedrooms. Parts of the original wooden floors, timber staircases and wooden panelling have been preserved. The 17th-century stoneware floor tiles are also among the edifice’s remarkable historical features. Behind the house, a 600m² walled garden extends the plot northwards. There are vast vaulted cellars and different outbuildings too.

    House with garden and terrace Herqueville (27)

    An Art Deco villa from 1935 on three-hectare grounds, on the banks of the Seine in Normandy, one hour from Paris. The property, accessible via a short lane, neighbours a small village church, recently renovated, while, past an impressive wooden gate flanked on either side by stone walls, the three-hectare grounds, planted with many trees, extend all around a large swath of lawn. Built in 1935 as the residence for the industrialist Louis Renault’s niece, the two-storey, M-shaped Art Deco villa, with more than 500 m² and constructed out of concrete over a full basement level, features a central structure, erected according to an east-west axis, which is flanked on either side by two perpendicular wings, slightly set back compared to the dwelling’s northern exterior facing the Seine, but projecting forward past the building’s main façade. In addition, the property also contains two small one-room cottages, including an Anglo-Norman-style edifice built out of wood near the villa and another out of stone, which was used as a billiard room and is the sole vestige of the former 17th-century chateau, whereas the dwelling’s tall Norman tile roofs and soaring chimneys are reminiscent of those found on the neighbouring dwellings.

    House with garden Bar-sur-Seine (10)

    An 18th-century residence in a landscaped garden, between vineyards and forests, 30 minutes from Troyes. This entirely walled property, bordered by two communal roads, can be found in the medieval centre of Bar-sur-Seine. From the street to the southwest, the main entrance to the plot is through a wooden gate framed by stone pilasters, followed to the left by a winter garden and a hen coop. The lawned, tree-filled and flowery garden stretches out to the main facade of the residence, which faces southwest. It is made of rendered rubble stone, has two storeys above a cellar and beneath a converted attic, which is topped by a sprocketed hipped roof made of flat tiles, punctuated with gable dormers. The soberly built facade includes a moulded stringcourse between its two main levels and rectangular openings organised into regular vertical rows, with wooden window frames and finely crafted ironwork guard-rails. Four of the openings are fitted with doors and French windows. On the other side of the property, from the street running in front of it, there is an entrance via stone porch with a double-leaf wooden gate opening onto a cobbled drive, on which three vehicles can be parked. To the left of the drive, there are several outbuildings, most of which are made of stone: a barn, a summer kitchen, a former stables and a woodstore. To the right, the main building, extending perpendicularly at the back of the courtyard, stands opposite these annexes.

    Mill Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse (78)

    A mill built between the 13th and 19th centuries, with a holiday cottage and outbuildings with potential to be converted, in the Chevreuse Valley. This former mill standing on the banks of the River Yvette, behind the walls of a tree-filled, more than 3,200-m² garden, can be reached from a quiet street. The property is historically linked to the neighbouring chateau and brings together several constructions erected between the 13th and 19th centuries. Today, it boasts more than 620 m² of living space spread over fifteen rooms and two houses. The main residence, which is a former canon foundry, was built around 1840 for the artillerymen in Versailles. It spreads over approximately 340 m². Its facades possess wide openings onto the garden, courtyard and outbuildings. The four-storey building includes a fast reception room on the ground floor, topped by a half-level on a mezzanine, as well as six bedrooms. Behind the facade covered in Virginia creeper, the old, three-storey, 18th-century miller’s house, which is now a holiday cottage, boasts 240 m² of living space. It contains ten rooms, including six bedrooms, and has a separate entrance. The outbuildings total a surface of more than 300 m²: to the north there are the restored walls of the approximately 80-m² former medieval mill, while to the east there is a vast, almost 230-m² barn. The building has a convertible loft with a surface as large as the barn’s ground floor. The property is completed by the former stables which have been converted into a 30-m² self-contained studio apartment.

    House with garden and terrace Pezenas (34)

    A large restored residence of about 500 m², near to Pézenas, in the Hérault area, in the heart of a picturesque village. Located in the heart of the village and adjoined by a venerable fig tree on the terrace enclosed by period railings, the dwelling has been completely restored since its construction in the 19th century. The residence spans three levels, all featuring numerous windows and glass doors with wooden frames. Adorned with Greek friezes, the sober ironwork guard-rails and balconies strictly follow the main lines of the classical-style facade. The natural stone cornices add a distinctive finish to the house and are a fine substitute for a classical Provençal frieze. The roofs are clad with terracotta monk-and-nun tiles. The entrance from the cobbled alleyway is through an old doorway, partly glazed and framed by stone pilasters crowned by Ionic capitals. The capitals are topped by a dentilled cornice which supports a corbelled balcony on the first floor. The edifice is flanked by an adjacent building in need of renovation, which can be accessed via an alleyway. Behind a large wooden gate, this space with a mezzanine can be used for storage and vehicle parking.

    House with garden Cercy-la-Tour (58)

    2 h 30 from Paris, an elegant 18th-century maison de maître, its outbuildings and park overlooking the Canal du Nivernais. The landscape is shaped by the confluence of several rivers and the flat towpaths that follow them, a bocage countryside of hedgerows and wooded banks. The property lies near the foothills of the Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan, where woodland gives way to elevated positions with far-reaching views. The village climbs steeply, its narrow stone-lined streets rising to a broad square at the summit, where an 11th-century church, listed in the catalogue of historic monuments, stands opposite the house. Built around 1750 and set behind an ornate gateway, the maison de maître faces west. A enclosed courtyard, flanked on one side by a woodstore and on the other by two outbuildings housing a workshop, a boiler room and a garage, provides vehicle parking. To the south, a walled and planted park overlooks the Canal du Nivernais, including a heritage orchard and a habitable longère. To the north, facing further outbuildings — a small house, shelters and former rabbit hutches — a well-tended kitchen garden extends alongside. A path leads directly to the inner courtyard. A stone well over 25 m deep, fed by a natural spring, supplies water year-round. The maison de maître rises over three levels, its facade enlivened by numerous windows framed by semi-louvred timber shutters. The main entrance is marked by a glazed timber door with a glass fanlight, approached by a small stone perron. The roof, laid in traditional Burgundy flat tiles and restored in 2016, carries several chimney stacks. The ground floor holds the main reception rooms and a first bedroom; the upper levels concentrate the sleeping accommodation: five bedrooms on the first, with three bathrooms or shower rooms, and one very large bedroom with bathroom and dressing room on the second, within the converted upper level. The outbuildings, in stone or brick under traditional or interlocking flat-tile roofs, form a coherent and substantial architectural group.

    House with pool and garden Le Pradet (83)

    A 177-m² villa, restored in 2022, which could be enlarged, with a swimming pool and 540-m² tree-filled grounds, 700 m from the beach, in Le Pradet. Running parallel to Garonne beach, a road provides access to a residential neighbourhood built up against the hillside. Located within a private subdivision up in the town’s heights and thereby overlooking the surrounding hillsides and sea, the dwelling is bordered by a protected wooded area, which is easily accessible on foot, whereas two large sliding gates, to the east and west, extended by the garden’s walls and providing dual access to this peaceful and private property, open on to a cobblestone parking area large enough for four vehicles. As for the garden, it is meticulously landscaped into terraced levels around the two-storey dwelling, the latter of which, designed with a Mediterranean look, displays a palette of warm tones and, specifically, yellow ochre, while the dwelling’s understated exteriors, highlighted by its orangey barrel tile gable roof, are cadenced by wide, rectilinear double-glazed windows and sliding glass doors, safeguarded by green painted shutters. Constructed in the 1970s and completely restored in 2022, the dwelling comes with two heat pumps, which are used to cool and heat both the bedrooms and living areas, as well as a fireplace with a wood-burning stove, whereas the dwelling, with a floor area of approximately 177 m², was designed with a ground floor laid out around a dual-aspect living room and bedroom, a garden level with three bedrooms as well as a self-contained studio flat and, finally, a patio to the west with partial views of the sea. It should be noted that a permit for an expansion of more than 70 m² was granted in 2019, authorising the construction of a bedroom, a shower room and a rooftop terrace, which would provide a breath-taking panorama of the Mediterranean.

    Property with garden Tours (37)

    A 17th-century dwelling and its outbuildings, some of which are inhabitable, on nearly 12 hectares of pastures and woodlands, thirty minutes from Tours. From town, the road traverses fields and forests up until it reaches a no-through road, which provides access to several dwellings. Facing an immense pasture bordered by woods, included within the property, a wide gravel courtyard is surrounded by a group of buildings on three of its sides: a 17th-century dwelling, in the middle, is flanked on one side by a barn and outbuildings and, on the other, by a covered carriage entranceway, a former press room and a garage. A few metres away, a second entrance to the property leads to another group of buildings, which have been transformed into dwellings, while, behind the main dwelling, a gravel patio faces a second pasture and the surrounding countryside.

    House with pool and garden Le Luc (83)

    A former 18th-century coaching inn and its outbuildings in a 63-hectare estate planted with woods, vines and olive trees, 40 minutes from Toulon, in Provence verte. There are two quick access routes to the estate from the village of Le Luc. A well-maintained dirt track some 900 m long crosses the 63-hectare property, winding its way through rolling countryside of wooded hills and vineyards, before reaching the main house, the outbuildings and the guest house, all close by. All the buildings are set on a promontory that is flat. These traditional buildings, which date back some three centuries, have rubble stone façades, which are rendered or pointed, straight or round-arched windows and gable roofs with canal tiles, some with double overhanging cornices. Old maps from the 18th century show the presence of a former relay station for monks and a chapel that no longer exists. The estate was a waypoint at the crossroads of the routes to Saint-Victor (Marseille) and Cotignac, as well as to the abbeys of Sénanque and Le Thoronet. The dense natural vegetation, made up of oak and pine woods typical of the Mediterranean maquis, contrasts harmoniously with the straight lines of the vineyards. Wherever you look, you see an alternation of natural depressions and open valleys lined with dirt tracks that lead to the vineyards and olive groves. The deep blue sky, occasionally broken up by clouds, completes this landscape of unspoilt nature.

    House with garden and terrace Boulogne-Billancourt (92)

    An artist’s house to be reinvented, with a studio, a former print workshop and two terraces, nestled in Boulogne-Billancourt in the Paris suburbs. The house stands behind a metal gate beneath an old wisteria. In front of the dwelling there is a small tree-dotted garden, the left side of which is closed with a single-storey building. The whole property represents a place to renovate and reinvent. The small, separate building, made entirely of red brickwork, houses a first workshop, which is industrial in style and is three metres tall. The main house stands at an angle to this small, separate building. It has a basement, a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. Its facade combines red brickwork with burrstone. And a stringcourse of Sèvres ceramic tiles underlines the second floor. On the first floor, there is a terrace upon the separate workshop and the avant-corps that houses the entrance door. The ground floor extends around a spacious second workshop: an artist’s studio, which has kept its beautiful chevron parquet. Its cathedral ceiling reaches 5.5 metres in height. A tall window looking out at the garden bathes the room in an abundance of natural light. This room lies beside an alcove lounge beneath a mezzanine and beside a storeroom too. At one end, a door leads into a dining room with a floor of black and white tiles laid in a remarkable pattern. This dining room lies beside a kitchen with a floor tiled in a similar pattern, but with ochre and cream tones. The entrance hallway also connects to this kitchen. The circular layout of this ground floor offers great fluidity of movement. An oak staircase leads up to the first floor. Two mezzanines look down at the workshop. The smallest one leads out onto a sun-kissed terrace that covers more than 30m². The second one leads to a vast bedroom filled with natural light from two west-facing windows. It has a plain fireplace too. The landing connects to the staircase, which carries on up to the second floor, and to a smaller bedroom too. Both this floor and the next one up have wood strip flooring. The second floor has two bedrooms and an office. One of the bedrooms, which faces west, leads out onto a roof terrace and has its own shower room. In the ceiling, a trap door leads to a convertible loft, which used to be linked to the floor below via a fold-out flight of stairs. There is a second bathroom and a separate lavatory too. A vast basement lies beneath the house. Once its heating oil tank has been removed, this basement would offer many possibilities for development.
