Land Mortain (50)
A residence undergoing renovation, in an approximately 5-hectare estate, in the south of the Manche area, not far from the centre of the Mortainais sector. This approximately 5-hectare estate can be reached by a small lane that branches off a country road. It assumes the appearance of a well-structured rural property, surrounded by lush, undulating countryside overlooking a small valley through which a stream runs. The estate includes several buildings spread around a courtyard. The main, southwest facing residence, in the process of being renovated, is a vast, two-storey long house with a gabled roof made of recently installed slate tiles. The façade combines exposed stonework and light-coloured rendering, punctuated with rectangular windows, some of which have been recently created. It boasts a number of remarkable architectural elements and part of it probably dates from the 17th-century, according to the date of 1665 engraved on a lintel. To the south of the courtyard, there is a vast brick, stone and half-timbered farm outbuilding, topped with a gabled slate roof. In the centre of a courtyard, a well with a hipped roof stands next to an old tower with a press in it. To the west of the courtyard, there is a recently built farm building, hidden by a mound and a tall lime tree. The residence’s roofs are recent and in excellent condition, underlined by roof decking. The materials used display a desire to preserve the place’s authentic character. Due to a halt in the renovation work in progress, only the masonry, roof frame and roofing have been completed so far. There are no floorboards, concrete bases, joinery or sanitation system as of yet. All the plans were drawn up by a professional.

House with pool and garden Saint-Girons (09)
A 12th-century chateau with ramparts and 15 hectares of grounds, listed as a historical monument and looking down over a valley by the Pyrenees mountains. From a bird’s-eye view, the chateau seems to be perched atop a wooded hill like a sentry looking out across the undulating landscape of France’s Couserans province. Around the chateau, there is a patchwork of gently sloping meadows, woods and fields that lines the serrated horizon of the Pyrenees mountains. Your gaze, first struck by the relief of the land, is eventually drawn to the oval form of the chateau’s enclosing wall that encircles a plain mass of barrel-tiled roofs and pale stone elevations. All aspects of this chateau give the impression of a calm, dense, unshakeable unit. As you leave the local village to approach the chateau, the modern world fades away. The road becomes a country lane and later becomes a shady track. The driveway to the chateau is flanked with oaks and beeches and edged with stone bollards crowned with orbs and linked with a chain. This driveway seems like a formal route, rigorously plotted and solemnly discreet. There is no showy gate here, but just the murmur of the wind, sunrays filtered through leaves and a rare feeling of slowly ascending to a dwelling inhabited by something other than everyday life. At last, the chateau’s facade comes into view between the trees. Plain yet welcoming, the chateau adjoins its rampart like a hand fitting into a glove. A door in an arch that cuts through the full thickness of the enclosing wall marks the entrance. Beyond this archway, you find yourself in an inner court, some of which is grassy. Here you can see different tokens of the chateau’s past: a well dug into the rock, the Romantic ruins of outhouses waiting to be brought back to life, a square tower, adjoining annexes and successive recesses of architecture that has adapted over time without ever betraying its origin. The chateau was built in the 12th century. In the 17th century, it was turned into a summer holiday home. Today it is listed as a historical monument. The chateau has kept its structural coherence and residential design.

House Pienza (Italy)
In the heart of the Val d'Orcia hills, a Tuscan residence and its 5 hectares of cultivated land. The roads leading to the property wind through the hills of Val d'Orcia as if crossing centuries. Time seems to have stood still in the years when buildings were constructed to last. The surrounding landscape has hardly changed since UNESCO listed it: rows of cypress trees, orderly vineyards, silvery olive trees on gentle slopes. The house retains the tranquil presence of rural Tuscan buildings: 470 square metres spread over two floors, with thick walls that have weathered the seasons. It is surrounded by five hectares of cultivated land, with vineyards, olive trees and meadows bearing witness to agricultural activity that is waiting to be revived. The equipment remains on site. A new lease of life is needed to adapt the place to current requirements while preserving its timeless character.

Property with pool and garden Grosseto (Italy)
Between Manciano and Argentario, a 420m² Tuscan residence facing the coast. Manciano, with open views facing the sea. On clear days, Montecristo stands out on the horizon. The house covers 420 square metres, spread over three levels, restored with restraint. The ground floor opens widely onto the infinity pool, which captures the landscape; the upper floor features five bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, while the basement houses the technical areas. What truly matters here is the far-reaching view toward the coast and the shifting light that moves across the hills from morning to evening. The garden follows the natural slope without unnecessary alteration, and the vegetable garden has been laid out separately. The renovation preserved the original beams and terracotta tiles wherever they were still sound. Argentario lies twenty minutes away, with Capalbio and Orbetello within the same distance. No immediate neighbours. Silence prevails; the sea closes the horizon.

Seaside house with garden La Baule-Escoublac (44)
A 19th-century seaside villa, facing the ocean, on the wild and untamed coast of Le Croisic's peninsula. Along the coastal road, a picket gate, framed by two granite pillars, opens on to a breath-taking view of the villa with the ocean in the background. Behind the gravel courtyard, large enough to park several vehicles, the dwelling stands in the middle of the property, surrounded by the garden and the sea. Near the gate is an inhabitable two-storey outbuilding, while the villa itself was built over two separate periods: its western section dates back to the middle of the 19th century and includes two floors, one of which is under the eaves, while later on, around 1900, the building was flanked to the east by a slightly larger, but considerably taller, extension with three storeys, including one under the eaves. Built out of rubble stone and covered in light-colour plaster, the villa’s corners are highlighted by toothed ashlar stone quoins, while its symmetrical windows are also framed by ashlar stone and topped with chiselled granite lintels. Topped with a gently sloping hipped roof over the initial construction, which is cadenced on either side by two gable dormer windows, whose wooden structures, decorated with understated mouldings, are painted white, its newer and larger section, crowned with a steeper hipped roof, features roof finials and dormer windows with granite triangular pediments on three of its four sides. These stone dormers, larger in size, not only highlight the extension’s verticality, but give it the look of a tower as well, which emphasises its role as an architectural centrepiece within the villa’s overall composition.

Manor La Chapelle-Moutils (77)
An 18th-century countryseat, flanked by two lateral wings from the early 20th century, with a courtyard and garden, nestled within a village in the Seine-et-Marne department. The U-shaped countryseat is laid out between a square courtyard and wooded grounds in the back. Entirely enclosed by walls, it is accessible on the courtyard side via a double-leaf gate and a pedestrian door, while four other wooden pedestrian doors, rarely used, provide access from the grounds to a washhouse, a former water reserve and a vegetable garden. In addition, a double-leaf metal gate located behind one of the outbuildings is reserved for vehicle access, whereas the building itself is skirted by a cobblestone path, which widens into a patio that is then extended by a garden in front one of its gable ends. As for the main building, with three storeys over a basement level, it was built in 1786, while its lower, more recent two-storey wings were added in 1900. Featuring roughcast-rendered stone exteriors and a flat tile Mansard roof with a slate strip demarcating the roof’s different gradients, on the side facing the grounds, the exterior boasts three sets of glass double doors, a dozen windows as well as seven dormers located on the roof’s lower slope, while on the courtyard side, three sets of glass doors, a dozen windows as well as four dormers with bull’s-eye windows, alternating between shed and hipped versions, punctuate the façade. Lastly, an octagonal brick and stone turret, abutting the right side of the main building’s exterior, is topped with violet and black tiles, which create the allusion of slate and provide a nice counterpoint to the roof’s visible slate strip.

House with pool and garden Montauban (82)
An 18th-century village home with generous volumes, a garden and a swimming pool, 40 minutes from Toulouse as well as its airport, and 30 minutes from Montauban. The house is located in a small, peaceful street in the village centre, in a 14th-century priory that belonged to the Benedictine abbey that gave rise to the first settlement. The property is fully enclosed by 2-metre-high walls made of pink brick and stones from the River Garonne. The two-storey main building stands next to a single-level perpendicular wing to its left, topped by an approximately 65-m² roof terrace, which overlooks the swimming pool, is delimited by the rear of the neighbouring house and is lined by white stone balusters. To the right of the main section, a veranda opens onto a garden adorned with a pond. The edifice possesses a gabled roof made of half-round tiles, topped by a bell pinnacle that no longer houses its original occupant, and is underlined by a sober, terracotta cornice, which in turn is echoed by the belt course between the two levels. The façades are rendered, except on the exposed brick gable end, and are punctuated by mainly rectangular and regularly positioned windows with brick frames. On the ground floor, French windows in the main rooms provide direct access to the decking around the swimming pool. The distinctive features of this building are the ionic columns, which are relics of the former priory, framing two of the doors The property’s occupants benefit from the surrounding lush greenery, thanks to the shade provided by carefully planted hedges and the branches of a hundred-year-old tree in the garden of a neighbouring manor.

House with garden and terrace Saint-Maurice (94)
An architect-designed house with 125 m², three bedrooms and a garage in Saint-Maurice, ten minutes from Paris. The house, with a floor area of approximately 150 m², 125 m² of which are inhabitable, is located off of a paved staircase, reminiscent of Montmartre and a favourite among athletes for their training sessions. Only a few minutes from the Bois de Vincennes by foot, sheltered from view and sandwiched between nature and the city, the multi-level dwelling, designed by the architect and owner of the property, stretches from one end of the lot to the other, bringing to mind the horizontal “peach walls” that were once ubiquitous in the area. In addition, its different levels, alternating between enclosed and open spaces, provide abundant light, whereas the property itself incorporates a bioclimatic design, with its lower section occupied by a garden screened from the sun, and its upper portion made up of an immense patio with abundant vegetation. As for the roof’s steep overhang on its southern side, it provides much needed shade in the summer months, while the house’s exterior is coated in thick lime plaster and topped with an Ile-de-France flat tile roof. With underfloor heating, the house also comes with a wood-burning stove, which helps increase the house’s cosiness come winter, as well as a garage.

House with garden Guibray - Falaise (14)
A large townhouse to be renovated, from the 16th and 17th centuries, with outhouses divided into apartments, nestled in the town of Falaise in Normandy’s Calvados department. The property stands on a calm street. The old edifice was doubtless an important home at the time of the Catholic League of France – a major participant in the French Wars of Religion. As early as in the 14th century, this part of the town was home to the burghers of Guibray – a district of Falaise. Their land initially belonged to the abbots of the local Abbey of Saint John. Fairs were held here and there were many inns in this district too. The house was probably one of those inns. It is set back from a small square that still bears the name of one of the members of the Catholic League of France in Falaise, from the time of the French Wars of Religion. Nicknamed the Hôtel du Grand Coq, the edifice was later the home of a wealthy parliamentarian. It lies near Notre-Dame de Guibray church and is tucked away on a well-preserved historical street, a short stroll from specialist food shops and amenities. On the street side, the noble edifice has an appearance that is typical of the 16th and 17th centuries. The structure is more wide than tall and is made of Caen stone. On the court side, the building is made up of three dwellings that form a square courtyard, half of which was later linked to the initial dwelling. The edifice’s rear elevation bears witness to the redesigns that have taken place over the course of the centuries: there are corbels, roof slopes and the remains of a tower that was reduced in height and which dates back to at least the 16th century. On the left, a stone elevation is coated with rendering in the modern part. Beyond it, there is a small outhouse with a slate roof and two small-paned windows. Lastly, with its back to the street and leading out through the rear elevation of the main dwelling, there is a former forge that has been converted into a dwelling. It has seven windows. From the court, steps lead to the back of the plot. The property’s walls enclose the whole plot. In the central court, low walls demarcate different small gardens. To the right of main section, on the court side, there is a timber gallery that connects to the different apartments on the first floor.

House with garden Nointel (95)
A grand house with a 345m² floor area, annexes, a vegetable patch and over one hectare of tree-dotted grounds, nestled in a village in the River Oise valley just north of Paris. The grand edifice is a token of a rich past. It is a large building with a long story, which began over a century ago. In a small residential area of the charming village, you make your way alongside the property’s enclosing wall before discovering its buildings. An electric gate takes you onto a gravel drive that leads up to the main house, then to outbuildings on one side and to the grounds and vegetable patch on the other. The central edifice’s architecture and the layout of its main rooms bear witness to a style that is typical of the late 19th century: French classicism. The room sizes, windows and stone surrounds give the house balance and majesty, as do the splendid grounds that cover over a hectare and include age-old trees, clusters of plants, hedges, vast lawns, paths, a vegetable patch, and an old ornamental pond.

House Viviers (07)
A 12th-century medieval residence, listed as a historical monument, in the former capital of the old Vivarais province, on the banks of the River Rhône. Until the French Revolution, the property was the residence of rich owners, before accommodating the town hall for two centuries until 1947, when it was sold to private owners. The house underwent various alterations and restorations as the years passed by, particularly in 1563, 1855 and 1856. Today it has a rectangular layout made up of two parts linked by a central, stone, spiral staircase leading to the three upper floors that make up the edifice. The western façade, which overlooks the square, was transformed in the 17th century. This narrow section with two vertical rows of openings is the ‘public’ part of the house, facing the square. There are windows on each of its four levels. The façade is crowned by a moulded cornice and a stone balustrade behind which the roof is hidden. The southern façade is the house’s longest. It looks onto the street called Rue du Château leading to the episcopal district. A third of the wall has no windows and in the centre, the entrance door with a basket-handle arch is framed by moulded splaying. Directly above it, there are four windows with moulded frames dating from the Middle Ages, through which the spiral staircase is bathed in light. On the right-hand side of the façade, the windows with mostly moulded frames, above two bayonet-shaped drip stones following the slope of Rue du Château, allow the living rooms to be flooded with light. The eastern half of the façade still has traces of older openings. On the second floor, there is still a gemelled window whose central column is adorned with chevron fluting and whose chapters are carved with stylised acanthus leaves. Other Romanesque origin openings are still visible. Lastly, since the northern and eastern façades are secondary elevations, they have much less openings. A complete architectural study has been carried out (seen attachment in annex).

House with pool and garden Saint-Georges-en-Auge (14)
A sumptuous house from the late 19th century with lush grounds, nestled 30 minutes from the English Channel in Normandy’s Calvados department. The property is just a stone’s throw from a 13th-century Gothic church. The road is lined with picturesque timer-framed dwellings and little farmhouses. A thuja hedge grows along a low brick wall with iron railings. At the right-hand end of it, a gate leads onto a shady driveway. From there, the drive lined with tall trees runs west, towards the house. The sumptuous dwelling was built at very end of the 19th century. It is an elegant home set in splendid grounds. Before, the building was known as a chateau, as were many houses built by the upper-middle classes in the period just before the First World War. Its elevations are rendered with a cream-coloured coating of local sand. The architectural embellishments are classical with stone capitals, garlands, exposed quoins and window surrounds that stand out in a pure white tone. The facade is more ornate than the garden-facing elevation. The house has a raised ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. A flight of front steps, edged with wrought-iron balustrades, leads up to the main entrance door. The facade has four windows on the ground floor – two on either side of the entrance door – and six windows on the first floor. And along the second floor, in the roof space, there are five elegant dormers. The rear elevation has two sets of ground-floor French windows that lead out to a large terrace, which you reach via a double set of steps. There are three other tall windows in the rear elevation on the ground floor and, above them, five windows on each upper floor. The house’s hipped mansard roof has slate tiles and is crowned with finials. Two imposing chimney stacks – one at each end – rise up from it. At the front, a gravelled drive marks the paths for walking and driving. Around this driveway, lush lawns draw your gaze to beautiful views of the grounds. The grounds form an English-style garden with majestic age-old trees dotted around the grand edifice. By the house’s entrance, neat yew hedges underline the ground-floor windows. At the back, there is a swimming pool. It lies parallel to the rear elevation. From a patio above the terrace, steps lead down to a paved poolside area that surrounds the swimming pool. Three palm trees tower around it. A gravelled path separates two extensive lawns that stretch to the edges of the property. Tall trees tower around the sides of the vast plot. There is an old greenhouse on the grounds too, as well as an outbuilding with a 150m² floor area. This outbuilding needs to be renovated. Beyond, there is a bucolic backdrop and the River Dives, which flows gently.

House with garden Saint-Ouen (93)
A 190-m² house with five bedrooms and a 360-m² garden near the metro lines 13 and 14 as well as the RER C in Saint-Ouen. The two-storey house is made up of two sections, one constructed in 1910 and the other built more recently in 2000. Punctuated by four windows and a door, the older part of the house faces the street and has a light-colour exterior cadenced by stringcourses in contrasting colours, a frieze on the upper level and slightly raised window and door surrounds – both jambs and lintels – in an aesthetic characteristic of the early 20th century. The ground floor includes an entrance hall with a cement tile floor, two large bedrooms, including one with its own bathroom and direct access to the garden, as well as a separate lavatory. A wooden staircase leads to the first floor with straight-plank oak hardwood floors, where the landing provides access to three bedrooms, a bathroom and lavatory. To the right of the entrance hall, the second section of the house is made up of a vast room of approximately 76 m² with a cathedral ceiling, the height of which culminates at 7 metres. This room, with a terracotta tile floor, includes a kitchen, dining room and living room with a fireplace. Over on the kitchen side of this large room, a picture window spans the entire length of one wall, providing the entire work surface with abundant light, while over on the living room side, a large, metal and glass quarter-round atelier window faces the verdant garden. In addition, the basement, located underneath the older section of the house, includes two large rooms as well as a laundry area and a gas furnace, which provides heat and hot water for the entire house. With two parking spaces and surrounded by a high wall, the garden, concealed from view, is accessible via a large solid metal gate, which opens onto a street adjacent to the one on which the property’s pedestrian entrance is located.

In a picturesque, steep sloped setting, this property is the remains of a fortress whose 13th and 15th century towers still stand either side of a 19th century building. The three buildings denote the base of the pentagonal-shaped castle walls, whose entrance was previously located to the north between two now levelled towers overlooking the moat. To the east, the wooded area runs down to the stream below in the bottom of the valley. To the west and south of the main building, opposite a lawned area, a dry moat carved out of the rock gives way to outbuildings set out in a U-shape open to the east next to the castle.

House with pool Toulon (83)
A hillside villa in Toulon, south-east France, built on a 17th-century priory with vast wooded grounds and a sweeping view of the city’s natural harbour. An electric gate marks the main entrance. You reach it via a steep lane with two bends that is around 100 metres long. Beyond the gate, on the left, there is a large, flat parking space for four vehicles. A shelter there offers space for three vehicles. At a lower level, there is a half-open second space where two other vehicles can be parked. A few steps take you up to a wrought-iron double-leaf gate that leads into a covered entrance area from where you enter the house. The villa, crowned with a roof of barrel tiles, has two floors, extended with terraces on three sides. It was entirely renovated in the early 1990s, then in 1998. Its one-metre-thick walls rendered with roughcast bear witness to the building’s long history: the place was probably a priory that dated back to the 17th century – this is suggested by a millstone bearing the year ‘1630’ that was found on the site. The south-facing house is rectangular, built upon the rocky hillside with a flat ground floor. It offers a floor area of around 280m². Its many sliding picture windows across its facade herald a bright interior bathed in natural light. These windows are fitted with electric roller shutters. The west gable wall is made of exposed pointed stonework. A niche in this wall houses two small statues of cherubs. A vast terrace in front of the south-facing facade of white rendering offers a spectacular vista of the city below and, beyond it, Toulon’s natural harbour. On this terrace, you can relax in an infinity pool where you can admire an unrivalled view of the sea. On the left, two shelters offer shade and coolness in the summer heat. On the north side, two walkways lead to the first-floor terrace and the garden. The villa is surrounded by its vast wooded grounds on a slope.

Manor La Chartre-sur-le-Loir (72)
A restored 16th-century mansion with over seven hectares of grounds, nestled in France’s River Loir valley and listed as a historical monument. A quiet country lane leads through meadows and farmland on a plateau. From this lane, a driveway lined with North American oaks leads up to the seigneurial mansion. A car park lies next to an entrance to a vast courtyard. You cross a bridge over a water-filled moat on the south side. The mansion stands straight ahead. All the buildings are arranged around the courtyard. A tree-dotted garden lies on the east side, behind a high stone wall yet within the moat’s enclosure. In the north-west corner of the moat-enclosed complex, another bridge stretches across the moat. From this spot, you can gaze out at meadows where majestic trees tower. A small wood also lies in the property’s north-west corner, beside its boundaries. Meadows evenly spread around the moat-formed island cover an area of around six hectares. The estate dates back to the 14th century, when the land was part of the nearby fiefdom of La Mothe d’Olbeau. Over the centuries, several families followed one after another on this estate that forms a self-sufficient home. The dwelling was probably built in the 15th century, then extended and redesigned between the late 16th century and the early 17th century to create, above all, its staircase tower and central pavilion. All the fireplaces inside date back to this period and were doubtless crafted by a specialist stone cutter. In the 18th century, the rear eastern pavilion with large windows, a section slightly lower in height, was added to the edifice and the south-east-facing facade was transformed to harmonise the whole mansion’s appearance. In the 16th century, a range of fortifications were made, including the surrounding wall, the moat with its bridges, a fortified tower, and more than twenty arrow slits. At the start of the 20th century, the estate covered around 150 hectares that included smallholdings and a mill.

House with pool and garden Antibes (06)
A secret villa with a vast Mediterranean garden, tucked away between the cities of Antibes and Cannes, 10 minutes from the sea. The villa stands on a vast plot that covers around 6,500m². It comes into view beyond a screen of vegetation that surrounds the villa, giving it absolute privacy and calm. Trees of a wide range of species grow on the grounds, including a majestic stone pine tree that towers like a flagpole between the villa and the swimming pool. Some outdoor spaces still need to be renovated, such as the kitchen garden and the outhouse beside the large swimming pool, which lies a few steps down from the villa. In the 18th century, there was a small agricultural building on this site. It was built in a traditional style with local stone and a tiled roof. It was made up of a small structure, a cellar and a raised henhouse. From the 1960s, it was transformed and extended. It was turned into a three-part villa with gabled roofs underlined with génoise cornices and an adjoining tower, which now serves as the villa’s entrance hall. The central section and the wings have two levels: a ground floor and a garden-level floor. In the west wing, there is a first floor too. The elevations are coated with pale rendering. The roofs are covered with barrel tiles. The many windows are of various shapes and sizes, but most of them are rectangular and fitted with shutters painted green.

Mill Conches-en-Ouche (27)
In Normandy, 1 hour and 10 minutes from Paris, in a landscaped and enclosed garden, an old mill transformed into a family home, with outbuildings and a millstream. The mill occupies the center of a garden of approximately 7000 m², elevated compared to the river. Mostly enclosed by stone walls or solid grids on low walls, punctuated by pillars, it is protected by dense vegetation and its millstream on the remaining part. Access is via a small communal road, which forms a bridge over the watercourse. From a large wrought iron gate, a gravel path distributes access to the various buildings. Immediately on one side, there is a residential house of about 60 m², with half-timbered walls and a gabled roof of flat tiles. A wing returning at right angles includes three garages, one of which is closed. The main dwelling stands a little further away. It develops around 500 m² with eight bedrooms and three bathrooms. The central body, topped with a slate gabled roof, is raised six levels, including one basement level. Under an imposing Virginia creeper, the façade in brick, facing southeast, features three slightly arched openings on each floor. Protected by white shutters, they are complemented by pierced wrought iron railings. Two wings extend the building. The first, on two levels, is built of millstone grit, under a Mansard roof. The second, raised three levels including one in the attic, forms a slight curve. At the end of the driveway, there are two outbuildings and a greenhouse. At the back of the main building, once the millstream is crossed by one of the wooden footbridges, the northwest façade exposes its monumental foundations, which root in the clear, flowing water. Attached to the central body, above the water, an original extension houses the mill's machinery. It is topped by vast terraces accessible from inside the dwelling. The garden is lush and extends on the other side of the road, where a sluice system and a gazebo are installed on two islets.This description has been automatically translated from French.
