House with pool and garden Volterra (Italy)
Near Volterra, a Tuscan stone villa with panoramic views over the surrounding hills. Volterra rises in the distance like an Etruscan sentinel, watching over the rolling hills for three millennia, their gentle waves reaching the 6,000 m² of this Tuscan garden. Here, olive trees planted by long-forgotten generations converse with the vertical cypresses that punctuate the horizon, a living composition in which the stone villa settles naturally into the landscape without imposing itself upon it. This is a land where alabaster is still carved by hand in the medieval workshops of the hilltop town, where wild boars cross the farmland at dusk, and where Tuscany reveals its authentic face, far from the standardized postcard landscapes of the tourist-saturated Val d’Orcia.

Manor La Roche-Posay (86)
Between Berry and Touraine, on nearly 4 hectares, an old lordly residence from the 17th century, its guesthouse, and its outbuildings. From a small country road, a massive gate opens onto an inner courtyard that structures the entire property. The various buildings are arranged around this central space. To the west, the main house from the 17th century and its extension from the 18th century unfold under a flat tile roof. Raised over three levels, including an attic and a cellar, the building retains several architectural elements that recall its original defensive purpose. In the main living room, a bay window provides access to a terrace leading to an enclosed garden bordered by hedges and trees. Beyond, a second, larger lot reveals meadows, a shed, and an orchard. To the northwest of the courtyard, a well neighbors a rural gîte attached to a large barn and former agricultural enclosures. To the east, an outbuilding includes a garage, a workshop, storage spaces, and former stables. Finally, a last wooded parcel extends to the south. At the edge of the road, it features a still-functioning wood-fired oven.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Apartment Paris 3ʳᵈ (75)
A 69-m² flat with two bedrooms, facing a quiet courtyard, on the rue de Bretagne, in the heart of the Marais. In a meticulously maintained commonhold building on the rue de Bretagne, within immediate proximity to the Marché des Enfants-Rouges, the flat gives on to a courtyard, planted with trees, surrounded by recently cleaned façades and immersed in absolute peace and quiet. With a floor area of approximately 69 m², it is located on the 3rd floor and accessible via a lift, while its double-door entrance opens on to a small foyer with a lavatory, followed by a kitchen. From the foyer, glass double doors provide access to a living room and a dining room, of approximately 25 m², with hardwood floors and a floor-to-ceiling height of 2.8 metres, whereas a perpendicular hallway leads to a bathroom with a bathtub and a washbasin, as well as two bedrooms with hardwood floors, which measure approximately 10 m² and 15 m², respectively. In addition, the flat is sold with a cellar, but does require some light remodelling, such as reconfiguring the kitchen’s layout and renovating the bathroom. Featuring double-glazed windows throughout, if two walls in one of the bedrooms are insulated, the flat will be able to boost its energy efficiency rating from an E to a D.

Listed castle Fareins (01)
A 17th-century chateau and its 39-hectare estate listed as a historic monument 30 minutes from Lyon. Built between 1608 and 1616 on a former castle motte acquired by Jean Sève, Lyon's Receiver General of Finances, and accessible via a drawbridge, the chateau's architecture is distinctive due to its perfect symmetry. It has three storeys, with cellars and attic space in the main central part of the building. This part is flanked on either side by two wings, each topped by a hipped roof with rolled eaves, and by two projecting corner towers topped by square-based convex arched roofs, also with rolled eaves. The north and south facades of the main building have large mullioned windows with small panes, with seven windows from the ground floor to the second floor. The slate, hipped roof of the main building features three pediment dormers to the north and south - one in the centre with an arched pediment and the others with a triangular pediment. On either side, the windows on the wings and towers are the same type and height as those on the main building. The roofs are different. Some of them need renovation - those above the towers and the central building. If the building’s shape seems is surprising and the size of the wings seems modest compared to that of the central body, it is because the body houses a very large former Calvinist temple on the second floor, illuminated by seven windows on each facade. It was one of the 'fief temples' that France tolerated on its territory after the Edict of Nantes, on condition that they remained discreet. Three dormer windows to the south and north, unique because of their unusual size and their Holy Trinity symbols, were and remain, the only external sign of this on the building. A moat surrounds the chateau and the outbuildings. The property is enhanced by outbuildings such as a caretaker's cottage and a farmhouse with a swimming pool in its walled square courtyard. Lastly, a fountain consisting of a basin adorned by three marmosets from the park at Vaux-le-Vicomte stands in the centre of a circular pool, beyond a large terraced flowerbed, in front of the chateau’s south facade.

Property with garden Saint-Brieuc (22)
A listed historical monument, 16th-century manor with 6 hectares of grounds, in the sector of Saint-Brieuc, less than 10 minutes from the town of Quintin. The small road leading to the property is lined with relatively well spread-out trees that become denser to almost create a tunnel of foliage, after which the manor, which has been listed as a historical monument since 1967, proudly stands in the middle of a clearing surrounded by dense forest. Opposite, the manor, a vast meadow expands outwards towards the surrounding woodland. The main entrance is especially imposing due to the place’s fortified character in the past. A carriage gate accompanied by an arched pedestrian gate are both made of granite and fitted with wrought-iron railings. They open into the once enclosed courtyard. On either side, the former fortifications include several stone outbuildings: a workshop, a covered area, a log store, a former pigsty and a bread oven. According to the local archives, there was previously a drawbridge that stood astride a dry moat. The manor possesses a rectangular layout, topped by a gabled slate roof. The façade is made of rough-hewn blocks of granite, with ashlar door and window frames. There is also a monumental opening known as “the door of justice” boasting two columns with square capitals. It marked the entrance to the farmyard where yesteryear the lord of the realm exercised his right to administer justice. To the rear, the walls are covered with Virginia creeper that has slowly spread out over the building as time has gone by. The house boasts a panoramic view of the flowery and tree-filled south-facing grounds, tucked away from prying eyes.

Apartment with terrace Paris 16ᵗʰ (75)
In the 16th arrondissement, between Passy and Auteuil, a reception apartment with a terrace, within a majestic private mansion. The mansion, built in the early 20th century, at a time when Paris sought to combine technical modernity and classical splendor, is distinguished by a façade of great nobility. The lines are clear, almost sculptural, stripped of the decoration of the 19th century to give way to the purity of volumes and clarity. The common areas are not a mere passage, but a theatrical introduction to the very essence of the places. The size of the rooms is amplified by a significant ceiling height reminiscent of vast aristocratic residences. The apartment is located on the noble floor, being the only one on the first floor above the ground floor. It is accessible by a staircase, but also by an elevator. Once through the double-opening door, an entrance leads to a spacious living room of nearly 50 m² facing west, where two large French windows that open onto two balconies enhance the space and brightness. A dining room is adjacent to the living room through a double-opening door. The kitchen is spacious, with a window overlooking the green corridor of the 16th arrondissement. In the sleeping area, a corridor distributes three bedrooms of 22, 18, and 10 m². The first two benefit from a balcony accessible through a French window. A large bathroom and a shower room also occupy this part of the apartment, as well as two toilets. The tip of the building extends to a square terrace of over 16 m², surrounded by balusters and without vis-à-vis. On the ground floor, a garage of over 30 m² allows parking for two vehicles in addition to an area that can serve as storage and substitute for a cellar. Heating and hot water are individual, provided by a boiler that runs on city gas. The whole is to be renovated.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House with garden Laurède (40)
In the Landes, 20 minutes from Mont-de-Marsan, a vast Capcazalière house from Chalosse, listed as a Historic Monument. Built around 1600, the property has a living area of about 500 m² on a plot of approximately 5,000 m². It is organized around a main house raised over two levels, under a two-sided tiled roof with wide overhangs, whose plastered facades are rhythmically punctuated by stone cross windows equipped with small-paned frames, marked by a Renaissance-style stone entrance door framed by pilasters and topped with a sculpted entablature; the roof overhangs, supported by exposed wooden brackets, highlight its composition. Inside, a wooden staircase, four finely crafted stone fireplaces, and Louis XIV-style wainscoting in a dining room have been preserved and are protected as Historic Monuments, along with Gascon floors and tiles covered with terracotta. During the revolutionary troubles, the house housed a secret cache intended for refractory priests, whose discreet access still exists today. On either side, two parallel outbuildings, whose facades and roofs are also listed, elongated in shape and covered with tiles, frame the whole and contribute to the organization of three courtyards, alternately sunny or shaded.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Nine buildings in ruins, some 1,033 m² of floor space approved by the Institute for Nature Conservation and Forests. Rural tourism, an exclusive retreat, a private residence or an agricultural project – the possible uses are numerous, but the location itself is unique. Setúbal is 20 minutes away, Lisbon 45.

Manor Cedovim (Portugal)
In the Upper Douro Valley, an 18th-century Baroque palace set in some 16 hectares of farmland. Some houses hold secrets. This one has kept one for two centuries: in 1813, a young noblewoman known as ‘the Dove’ leapt out of one of these windows at dawn to flee with a British officer. Her family launched an armed pursuit across the whole of Portugal. She never returned. These windows are still there. The Baroque palace, with a rectangular layout, covers some 1,475 m² of built area on 16 hectares of land in the Upper Douro, devoted to vineyards, olive groves and almond trees. Listed as a site of public interest since 1977, the building is in need of a restoration befitting its history.

House with terrace Tavira (Portugal)
In Tavira, in the Algarve, an early 20th-century mansion of around 500 m² has been restored in the historic centre. The historic centre of Tavira, with its narrow streets, saddle-back roofs and azulejo-clad façades, has stood the test of time with quiet dignity. Here, an early 20th-century mansion stands as one of its finest examples. Ten years of disuse have not taken their toll on the parquet floors, the stucco and wooden ceilings, the shutters or the double-height ceilings. The restoration followed the same approach. Two self-contained studios on the ground floor, three living rooms, a library, two suites and two bedrooms upstairs. A courtyard, a terrace. 500 m² that time had set aside.

House with garden Orleans (45)
Open hunting grounds of 650 contiguous hectares, with a lodge, private flats, a hunting pavilion and outbuildings, in Sologne. From a road between two villages, the hunting pavilion is accessible via a long drive of nearly 2 kilometres, partially bordered by recently planted oak and lime trees. After two entrance gates, the main buildings are arranged in a U shape around a courtyard-garden. With two levels, including one built into the attic space, they are topped with tile roofs punctuated by dormer windows, in true local style. The gamekeeper’s house, the “trainees” studio and a private flat are located in the first edifice, while the lodge takes up the entire space of the second building. Lastly, the third building contains the outbuildings and a second private flat. Most of the buildings were renovated less than 15 years ago with salvaged materials, like those from the former Orléans theatre, for example, and have been perfectly maintained ever since. Nearby, a cabin was built in the trees and a storage building was constructed to stow various equipment. The property’s grounds extend all around the buildings, followed by woods and seven ponds over nearly 650 hectares, in addition to the 150 hectares that are currently rented out.

House with garden and terrace Angers (49)
30 minutes from Angers, in a village on the banks of the Loire, a Renaissance house with guest houses, outbuildings, and a formal garden. A village lane serves the different accesses to the property, which was once a priory belonging to the Abbey of Fontevraud, as attested by a plaque still visible on one of the walls. The main porch, made of tuffeau, arched and molded, opens onto a gravel courtyard that extends into a formal garden. The house is elevated over three levels, including an attic, and is built of rubble stone and tuffeau. The main wing is flanked by a square corner tower and a square façade tower that houses the staircase. The front façade is extended by a loggia that is accessed from the courtyard via a schist stone staircase with a solid tuffeau railing. A bread oven is backed against the west gable. The arrangement of the roofs, all slate, is remarkable: a single slope supported by a detached tuffeau column for the loggia, a double slope pierced with dormers for the main body of the house, a triple slope for the bread oven, and a four-slope design for the two towers. Impressive tuffeau gargoyles, depicting a griffin at the back and a reclining dog at the front, extend the decorative features of the west gable. The courtyard also distributes an outbuilding that serves as a garage, one of the two guest houses, and an entrance pavilion near the pedestrian door. At the back of the formal garden stands the second guest house with a washhouse on one side, and on the other side, a covered area with a workshop. Beyond that, the park borders the surrounding countryside. At the back of the outbuilding, two terraced levels separated by a wall run along the courtyard and the formal garden. They are both connected to the lane. Stables and a greenhouse are located on the upper terrace. The property is enclosed by walls except for the part facing the countryside. All the buildings have undergone extensive restoration work, and some are labeled by the Heritage Foundation.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Mas L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (84)
In Vaucluse, overlooking the country of Sorgues and its illustrious Isle, the former farmhouse of the Baudet de Sade from the 17th century, with its basins and Italian-style park. Formerly a large agricultural estate from the 17th and 18th centuries composed of terraces irrigated by springs, it has retained a significant farmhouse in a right-angled return built against the rock to the north, dominating the valley below. The building bears witness to particular care taken with the facades facing the courtyard, notably its main façade coated with ochre lime, pierced with slightly arched openings as well as the main entrance door aligned with an old dovecote that tops the canal-tile roofs. The secondary section displays an equally elegant design featuring two wide and high paired arches pierced towards the courtyard, while showcasing contemporary embellishments at the first floor on the former hayloft of the estate. The built ensemble is in perfect harmony with the terraced topography, providing to the south and west broad landscaped terraces, while to the east a flower bed arranged on the largest platform at the valley bottom offers a remarkable perspective, enhanced by the alignment on the upper terrace of 27 monoliths supporting a trellis. The whole formed by the buildings and the particularly careful landscaping (even staging the ruins of an orange grove) accentuates the theatricality of the sites nestled in a fold of the Vaucluse foothills and the wooded slopes of the valley, evoking the refuge of Petrarch in the Vallis Clausa that he cherished.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House with pool and garden Chambourcy (78)
On the hill of Chambourcy, an old fortified house with 400 m² of living space, with a swimming pool, on a plot of 1,200 m². The residence was originally a fortified farm built in the early 13th century by the Poissy family, which then ruled over the region of 'Pincerais'. This included the fiefs of Chambourcy, Orgeval, and Maison. The initial construction formed a square of 50 m on each side surrounded by moats of water and flanked by four corner towers. Over the centuries, the building has undergone several transformations to become a residence of nearly 400 m² spread over three levels, with five bedrooms and the possibility of adding more. At the back, there is a large garden of more than 800 m², equipped with a swimming pool adjacent to a park, and at the front, a paved courtyard of about 80 m². Positioned high on the hillside, the house overlooks the slope. The thick walls of the facades are covered with a light plaster, and the roof is made of old flat tiles. The whole area spans nearly 1,200 m². It is integrated into a co-ownership that consists of four lots. The common areas are only made up of access areas to the four houses.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House with pool and garden Le Vignon-en-Quercy (46)
Between Haut Quercy and Corrèze, in the tranquility of a small village, a presbytery used as a residence, its priest's garden, its backyard, and its swimming pool. Between the Romanesque church and the castle, in the old part of the hamlet inherited from medieval settlements linked to the viscountcy of Turenne, the presbytery is hidden behind a stone wall that preserves its privacy. From the narrow alley, a double-leaf wrought iron gate opens onto a closed and mineral courtyard, allowing for the parking of a vehicle. In the corner of this courtyard, against the barn, a basin discreetly enlivens the space. From the courtyard, the main entrance, the cellar entrance, and the entrance to the living room are organized, the wide lintel sculpted with a brace recalling the history of the place. The current dwelling dates back to the late 19th century. It rises on three levels including an attic, and rests on a vaulted cellar. Its blonde stone façades, partially covered in virgin vine, maintain the sobriety of ecclesiastical houses of the past. A barn placed at a right angle extends the whole and structures the volumes around the courtyard. A window illuminates the staircase; it is decorated with a stained glass-style painted motif fixed to tin. The roof of the main building, with four slopes, corresponds to that of the two-slope barn, creating a balanced silhouette in the landscape. To the south, the house opens onto a densely wooded garden that ensures freshness and intimacy. A terrace and gazebo extend the living spaces outdoors, while lower down, the swimming pool and its wooden deck blend discreetly into the vegetation, reinforcing the property's confidential character.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Manor Arnac-Pompadour (19)
Close to Pompadour, a 17th-century manor in the pedestrian heart of a village, completely restored, with its outbuildings and landscaped areas. From the square of the village's parish church, bordered by a processional cross, the southern entrance of the property, composed of outbuildings with steep roofs covered in Allassac slate, is closed by a tall wooden gate, pierced by a pedestrian door and adorned with clovers. It is also surrounded by a stone vault with a sculpted stone medallion, giving the whole an appearance of a wall, harmoniously integrated into the architectural environment dominated by the 16th-century church, with its typical comb-shaped bell tower. Fully enclosed by walls, the inner courtyard organizes the domestic life of the small estate and allows movement sheltered from any disturbance to the manor, whose horizontally arranged façade closes off the square of domestic buildings while allowing access to the double-terrace gardens. A communal path runs along the property on its western side and provides pedestrian access to the courtyard. A carriage entrance is also located at the bottom of the garden. The long house on two levels, pierced with numerous small-paneled windows, is a rectangular building with a gabled roof, punctuated by five sloping dormers and topped with three chimney stacks. The embedded stone coats of arms testify to the historical affiliation of the manor with the lordship of Chabrignac, whose count’s castle, famous for having once hosted the last empress of Annam, abuts the property lines.This description has been automatically translated from French.

In Beaujolais, near Mont Brouilly, a castle with its cupola-roofed tower and its old wine estates. The silhouette of the property evokes the family vineyards established in the region between the 17th and 19th centuries. The main part of the dwelling, built on a rectangular plan adorned with a round corner tower, is placed in a wooded park enclosed by walls. It is topped with a roof of tiles worn by the seasons, the circular tower featuring a cupola roof. The facades with light plaster, rhythmically punctuated by tall windows with white shutters, converse with the warm tones of the earth and the surrounding roofs. Around the shaded inner courtyard, several outbuildings, some with significant volumes and walls marked by time, recall the original agricultural purpose of the place.This description has been automatically translated from French.
