House with garden and terrace Bagnoles-de-l'Orne (61)
An 18th-century former hamlet and its breath-taking garden of more than one hectare, on the outskirts of Bagnoles-de-l’Orne, in Normandy’s Orne department. This former hamlet, refurbished and combined into one single property, is accessible via a dirt lane bordered by an apple orchard, while the buildings themselves are organised around an asymmetrical courtyard and include a large main dwelling, composed of several different, seamlessly connected volumes, a second, smaller dwelling, which could be used as a holiday cottage or a guesthouse, a bakehouse and a former pigsty. Facing east-west, the two-storey main dwelling features a pointed stone exterior on its courtyard side, which is, in turn, cadenced by wood-framed windows as well as dormers on its red tile roof. Behind, on the house’s western side, glass double doors open on to a patio festooned with a grapevine as well as a garden planted with trees, providing unobstructed views overlooking a stream, the latter of which is traversable via a small bridge and winds its way through the garden, flowing over small waterfalls and irrigating aquatic vegetation, such as horsetails and reeds. To the north of the courtyard, the bakehouse and pigsty, today converted into annexes with more practical uses, have preserved their original charm with their stone walls and tile roofs, while the independent holiday cottage, facing south, features a lintel etched with the year 1778 and is accessible from one side via a flight of steps blanketed with nasturtiums. Built out of stone, its exteriors, punctuated by windows providing plunging views of the property, are also topped with a flat tile roof. Carpeted with meadows, woods and a meticulously maintained garden, planted with mature trees and flowerbeds, the property also includes a small artificial pond located towards the southern part of the grounds.

House with garden and terrace La Chartre-sur-le-Loir (72)
A neo-Gothic chateau, granted regional Historical Monument status, with nearly 5 ha of grounds, meadows & woods, on a hillside in the Loire Valley. On the edge of the Bercé public woodland and on the outskirts of a picturesque village with shops, the estate, set back and sheltered from view, is surrounded by hedges or old walls topped with metal railing. As for the property, it is laid out around the chateau, the latter of which is built up against the hillside and nestled within grounds that combine pastures, AOC vineyards and woods, while the edifice, built from 1908 to 1913 and recognised as a regional Historical Monument since 1984, is characteristic of the flamboyant neo-Gothic style, very much in fashion among the aristocracy and the upper middle class at that time. With a floor area of approximately 275 m², it has four storeys including a garden level as well as one under the eaves, whereas its slate roofs are punctuated by many dormers, the latter of which were constructed out of tuffeau stone as were the chateau’s cornices, quoins and window/door surrounds. To the east and west, stone staircases, safeguarded by bannisters, provide access to an entrance hall and a kitchen, while a patio overlooking the garden skirts its western exterior. Featuring flint from the Loir River valley, which dialogues with sculpted tuffeau stone in order to recreate the aesthetics of a knightly manor, the chateau’s exterior architecture invokes the medieval repertory, with the systematic use of the Gothic arch, lancets and stained glass in order to provide plenty of light and a feeling of verticality. In addition, a pepperpot turret, supported by moulded corbels, abuts the dwelling and is topped with a slate candle-snuffer roof, whereas wide stone cross windows cadence the ground floor and geminated windows, topped with delicately sculpted Gothic arches, provide plenty of natural light for the upstairs level. Lastly, an openwork stone balustrade with an eye-catching quatrefoil motif creates a remarkable centrepiece for the chateau’s southern gable end.

House with garden and terrace Deauville (14)
A former priest's house, now a family home, with a landscaped garden, in the upper reaches of Deauville, overlooking the town and the sea. The property stands on the slopes of historical Deauville, in the former village of Dosville dating from the 12th century. It can be reached via a slightly winding, wooded road leading up to a discrete gate. From there, a drive lined with Portugal laurels and cypress trees leads to a parking area before reaching the garden tucked away behind a wall of foliage. The former presbytery, whose architecture has evolved over the centuries, stands at the end of the garden, slightly lower down. It was erected in the 12th century and displays remarkable architectural continuity: successive transformations and additions have enhanced its standing without altering its harmony. The main residence is south-facing and has an elongated shape, topped with a gabled roof made of flat tiles, punctuated by hipped dormer windows and tall brick chimney stacks characteristic of old buildings in the Pays d’Auge sector. The walls made of bright, light-yellow rubble stone, pointed with lime, strike a contrast with the old, dark-coloured carved wooden doors. At the right-hand end of the house, there is a glazed veranda with views over Deauville and the sea on one side and the curate’s garden on the other. The left-hand end is made up of the 18th-century chapel that today houses a spacious living room adjacent to the rest of the building. A half-timbered protruding section topped by a triangular gable stands out from the main façade and overhangs a wooden balcony that can be reached via a both picturesque and functional external flight of steps. The blue shutters, climbing plants and flowerbeds soften the stringency of the residence, allowing the edifice to blend into its environment. The property is enclosed and protected by hedges and buildings: to the left, an 18th-century stone outbuilding runs alongside the street, while to the right, another outbuilding separates it from neighbouring houses.

Manor Ploudalmézeau (29)
A 15th-century completely renovated manor house and outbuildings, close to the beaches on the Coast of Legends in North Finistère, Brittany. The property is set in the countryside, 900 m on foot from a white sandy beach. A small road winds its way through the cultivated fields to the property and its entrance framed by two stone pillars. The manor house is accessed via the courtyard, where there is a well that is still in use. The courtyard is enclosed by outbuildings. The garden, made up of a number of flower-filled areas, is walled at the rear and closed off by a gate. Below, there is a former mill, some of whose original features remain. It is currently without a roof. A pond runs alongside the property. Built in the 15th century, the manor house has been fully restored to modern-day standards, without losing any of its authenticity. The architecture embodies the transition between the Gothic and Renaissance styles in Brittany. The complex comprises five buildings in a square. The central dwelling is two storeys high and topped with three large chimneys. The slate roof is gabled and has two sculpted dormer windows. The building is connected to a round tower topped by a dovecote, which houses a spiral staircase. The façades are built out of granite rubble stone and are entirely lime pointed. A single-storey wing has been added to one side of the main building. The outbuildings face each other on either side. They are currently used as a garage and a shed. A large, fully renovated outbuilding, currently used as a guest house, faces the manor house and partly closes off the courtyard. The complex is harmonious, protected from the wind and from prying eyes, and surrounded by grassy areas and flowering bushes.

Mill Saint-Georges-sur-Cher (41)
A mill with full ownership rights, a mill race and mill ponds, in 9.8 hectares of greenery, near to Chenonceau, in the Cher Valley. A tree-lined drive runs past a pond up to a vast courtyard in front of the building. The 700-metre-long mill race runs through the property and underneath the building, though the water wheel and its machinery have been removed. It was purchased in the 18th century by the owners of Château de Chenonceau and was rebuilt in 1810 in the same place as the former mill that featured on Cassini’s famous map. A part of the mill, which ceased milling activity in 1967, is devoted to living space, with approximately 130 m² spread over three storeys. In the other part that measures around 400 m², all the flour milling machinery is still visible: grinders, converters, sieves and sizing rolls are spread over four storeys. A house adjoins the mill and then in turn a garage, while a guest’s house has been created in the dwelling at a right angle to these buildings. To the rear, there is an ornamental garden, a 1.5-hectare pond and woods, which all make up an uninterrupted estate of 6 hectares. Separate plots of meadows and woodland totalling approximately 4 hectares can be found nearby.

House with pool and garden Cahors (46)
An urban chateau dating back to 1930 with an outhouse, a swimming pool and tree-dotted grounds, nestled by the town of Cahors in south-west France, in the country's Lot department. The property’s entrance is at the top of a hill that looks down at a shopping zone of Cahors. The chateau was built upon a hill. The plot’s outer retaining wall, with its remarkable height and strength, is impressive. A former water tower made of brick welcomes visitors like a sentry positioned at the edge of the plot. A drive leads downwards and a meadow of horses extends on the other side of it. Beyond a long bend and the first trees, an esplanade, used for parking, comes into view. Across its gravelled ground, you can easily reach the stone terraces that surround the chateau. The chateau was built in 1930 in a style that recalls the elegance and harmony of classical French architecture. It offers a floor area of 455m². With its pure-white elevations and the perfect symmetry of its south-facing facade that looks out at the tree-dotted grounds, which cover over a hectare, the edifice seems to have been taken straight out of a picture book. Natural light shines through age-old trees with effects that vary from season to season. Bucolic views from each window in the dwelling embrace these majestic trees. On the grounds, there is a swimming pool and an elegant outhouse that could be turned into a workshop, a guesthouse or a garage.

House with pool and garden Beaune (21)
A 17th-century group of buildings, with commercial and artisanal potential, with a swimming pool and gardens, along the banks of a river in Burgundy, near Beaune. The property is located along the main road that goes through the village, close to the old railway line connecting Dijon and Epinac. With an understated southern façade in exposed stone, the main building has five windows on the ground floor and six on the first. Dating in part from 1635, this building has undergone many changes over the centuries, the vestiges of which can be traced in the stones of its façade. At a right angle, a wide carriage door in dark-stained wood, framed by ashlar stone, marks the entrance to the property alongside a small pedestrian door. Past the covered entranceway, the view of all the buildings, completely surrounding a vast gravel courtyard, is interrupted on the left by a Burgundy stone patio and a green space at the foot of a building with three buttresses, typical of a tithe barn from the 13th century. In turns, a chapterhouse under the authority of the Bishop of Autun, the entrance to the hamlet under the protection of an emancipation charter, guaranteeing free trade, and the fiefdom of the Archers Brotherhood, the property once hosted travellers having paid the fee to cross the river, the current of which was once much more difficult to forge. During the Revolution, the property was transformed into a coaching inn, taking advantage of its dovecote, stables, wells and bakehouse. The first phone booth in the village was installed on this property before a restaurant and then a bed and breakfast were opened here. Past the covered entranceway, on the left side of the property, a farmhouse in pointed exposed stone is made up of two adjacent buildings of different heights. Its entrance is marked by a stone doorstep, which leads to a discreet front door, framed by ashlar stone and topped with a climbing rosebush. A stone patio, bordered by a flowerbed and defined by a low stone wall with several openings, provides a pleasant space to sit and relax right next to the kitchen, dining room and living room. On the north side, a wall separates the garden beyond and provides direct pedestrian access to the vegetable garden and the building called 'La reserve du Père Grivot' or 'Father Grivot’s Storehouse'. A little further on, a former communal washhouse borders the property before making way for the river that runs alongside the garden.

Listed castle Valence (26)
An early 20th-century Art Nouveau chateau listed as a historic monument, set within 4 hectares of grounds in the heart of the capital of the Drôme. The building was constructed in the early 20th century at the request of Alfred Gayet, a mining engineer and inventor of a process for extracting and refining gold. To carry out this work, he was joined by the renowned architect Pierre Blein, with contributions from the painter Guillermin, the stained-glass artist Thomas, the interior designer Boulanger, and the landscape architects Luizet and Barret. The construction of the main house and its various outbuildings (caretaker’s house, farm buildings, dovecote and hydroelectric plant), as well as the landscaping of the grounds, were carried out between 1900 and 1904, under Blein’s direction. The chateau was adorned with Art Nouveau elements: remarkable painted decorations by Guillermin and Mangier, stained-glass windows from the Thomas workshop, and earthenware by Boulanger and Villeroy & Bosch. The residence, with its cut-stone facades and canal-tile roofs, comprises a central block and two wings at right angles, the right-hand wing featuring a rotunda and the left-hand wing a square tower. It has four storeys, including a basement with numerous cellars, and around 20 rooms spread across the three levels: a large entrance hall, two drawing rooms, games and reading rooms, a dining room, a kitchen and other utility spaces on the ground floor; a vast hall, five bedrooms and four bathrooms on the first floor; a spacious rotunda room, four staff bedrooms and five attics, one of which is convertible, on the second floor. The landscaped grounds, adorned with animal sculptures, cover 4.3 hectares and include a pond. Originally, canals were fed by the Épervière stream and led into a series of basins designed using the 'rocailleurs' method. It should be noted that the elements listed as historic monuments include the entire residence (interior and exterior), the grounds, the outbuildings, the caretaker’s house, the disused factory building and the dovecote.

Property with pool and garden Erquy (22)
A late 19th-century villa in an almost 2,000-m² garden, in the upper part of a seaside resort on the coast of the Penthièvre sector. The property is situated on the coastal road leading to the neighbouring town of Val-André, a short distance from the town-centre and central beach, which can be reached on foot. It is surrounded by seaside residences of various periods and styles and is adjacent to a vast plot of land, which includes, in addition to a clearance zone and parking space, a vast patio with an outdoor swimming pool. It is enclosed by walls or tall hedges and is tucked away from prying eyes. The house stands in the middle of the plot and was built in the late 19th century in sandstone and brick, in the style of a two-section seaside residence with an L-shaped layout and gable end facade. A protruding section boasts a double level bay window topped by a balcony. It is mainly made up of rough-hewn sandstone with red brick quoins, window as well as door surrounds, string courses and high chimney stacks. The steeply sloped slate gabled roof is fitted with zinc ridge caps and is punctuated by gable dormers with triangular pediments. The perpendicular protruding section with a balcony also has a steeply sloped gabled roof with slightly overhanging eaves, plus a discrete cornice underlined by exposed joists under the fascia.

Apartment with terrace Neuilly-sur-Seine (92)
A 395m² penthouse bathed in light with a 290m² terrace offering a panoramic view, in the chic town of Neuilly-sur-Seine in the western suburbs of Paris. The edifice was built in the 1960s. It is well made and well maintained. A caretaker lives on site. The penthouse takes up two levels: the whole of the fifth floor, which is the top floor, and part of the fourth floor too. You reach the fifth floor via a lift. This lift takes you straight into a vast entrance hall with a marble-tiled floor patterned with black square inserts. Here, a staircase with an 18th-century-style wrought-iron balustrade leads up through a glazed door to a vast roof terrace that extends upon the whole of the building. This extensive terrace offers a 360° panoramic view of the city of Paris and the La Défense business district.

Seaside villa with garden and terrace Penmarch (29)
A house from the 1980s and its outbuilding on a 2,000-m² property, which could be divided into smaller lots, 150 metres from the beach and a surfing area, on the shores of Audierne Bay. From the town, the property, extending from the south towards the north and located on a quiet side street, is accessible via an automatic gate on its southeast corner. As for the dwelling, it is located on the last third of the lot, while its outbuilding is situated behind it on its northern border, which creates an interesting opportunity to divide up the plot without having to create a new entrance from the street. Surrounded by hedges and walls – vestiges of a former manorial entrance – the whole is completely enclosed and sheltered from view. Typical of the 1980s, this dwelling features plaster-coated exteriors and a slate roof dotted with dormers, while its front door is located on its southern side and a side entrance, on its eastern side, provides access to the dwelling’s basement level.

House with garden and terrace Limoges (87)
A dwelling from 1880 and its outbuilding, surrounded by 9,000-m² grounds, on the outskirts of a village, forty minutes north of Limoges. Accessible from the main street via a gate and its white wrought-iron door, a circular gravel lane leads to the dwelling built out of plaster-coated local stone. With a steep slate roof, cadenced by dormer windows and topped with two slender weather vanes, it was constructed around 1890 according to a classical composition and features three vertical rows of windows and two stories over a full basement level, while, a wrought-iron balcony delicately hovers above the front door, providing a touch of whimsy to the dwelling’s orderly exterior. As for its tower, abutting the dwelling’s western side, it endows the whole with the stately appearance of a small chateau surrounded by enclosed grounds alternating between multi-century trees and local varieties.

Castle Brive-la-Gaillarde (19)
A 15th-century chateau, its outbuildings, grounds and swimming pool, surrounded by 21 hectares of unoccupied land, along the outskirts of the Quercy region, twenty minutes from Brive-la-Gaillarde. In the 14th century, the lands owned by the de Chabannes family were transferred to Adhémar d’Aigrefeuille, Baron of Gramat, before the de Muzac family, whose patriarch was the King of France’s sergeant-at-arms, took possession of the estate in the next century, pledging his allegiance to the Viscount of Turenne in the process. Through marriages and successive inheritances, the fiefdom was then passed down to the de Tournier family of Corrèze, followed by that of the de Materre de Chauffour family, which owned it until 1870. Left abandoned for nearly a century, the dwelling was given a new life in 1966 when a painter and his wife bought the chateau, nearly in ruins, and undertook a large-scale restoration. From the wrought-iron gate, which indicates the estate’s formal entrance, a gravel lane traverses a large swath of lawn and leads to the property’s upper patio, the latter of which skirts the southeast exterior of the oldest of the three dwellings. Faithful to the origin of its name, the dwelling is made up of two adjacent edifices, which hug the land’s natural slope: the older of the two is located above the more recent construction, whereas the two wings are partially connected via a third dwelling abutting a square tower-dovecote. The upper edifice, from the late 15th century, is made up of a rectangular structure, the western part of which was completely reassembled with original materials recovered from the rubble after 1945, while a stately hexagonal tower, with a lauze slate tile roof, juts forward into the courtyard. In addition, mullioned windows, including two corner ones behind the dwelling, cadence its exteriors, whereas, in the interior corner of the second building, in all likelihood built in the late 17th century, a circular tower, completely rebuilt in 2025, is topped with a lauze slate roof. This same dwelling also features a balcony with balusters, supported by a basket-handle arch, while a series of dormers, crowned with finials, punctate the various rooftops – long, conical, pavilion and hipped – that have been deftly blended together. Lastly, slate and barrel tiles as well as tall chimneys, gracefully coiffed, create an overall aesthetic and aerial composition, whereas the outbuildings – a Limousin-style barn and a former hunting lodge – provide the finishing touches for this remarkable and historical estate.

House with pool and garden Sainte-Croix-Volvestre (09)
A manor house, outbuildings and swimming pool in a luminous clearing surrounded by 10 hectares of royal forest, 50 minutes from Toulouse. Invisible from the road, you discover the house when you turn a bend in a woodland path. It is sheltered behind a green wall of Scots pines, limes, ancient oaks, ferns and peaceful clearings. As if set down inside a bubble of greenery, it forms a discreet, almost secret unit with its outbuildings, swimming pool, pond and driveways, enveloped in more than 10 hectares of landscaped parkland and ancient forest. Most of the buildings have stone walls, some of which are rendered, and gable roofs with interlocking tiles. The three-storey residence, with almost 650 m² of living space, was probably built at the end of the 19th century and has been patiently restored after a period of neglect. Each stage of the work was guided by meticulous restoration of the original features: the old fireplaces, the oak or chestnut parquet flooring, the moulded ceilings, the stone window and door frames and the floors have been preserved or restored, with respect for the building. All of the utilities have been renewed: drainage, rainwater, pipes, electricity and heating. The main roof has been remodelled, and the roof of the annexe has been refitted. A stone pond and a fountain form a peaceful focal point around the house. The swimming pool is set nearby in a landscaped clearing, like a natural extension of the house, not far from a natural pool fed by a spring. There is also a well adjacent to the outbuildings, which still contains water. The overall effect is one of harmonious sobriety, typical of country manor houses, where practicality meets elegance. The top floor of the house, which is preserved in its original state and insulated under the rafters, offers huge conversion potential.

Mas Saint-Geniès-de-Malgoirès (30)
A traditional 19th century Gard farmhouse and vast farm outbuildings, 20 minutes from Nîmes. On the north-east side of a rectangular plot of more than 3 000 m², enclosed by stone walls and fences, there stands a vast old building with a strong rural character. The buildings are laid out in a U-shape, closed on three sides, typical of traditional southern farmhouses. This architectural arrangement, designed to provide protection from the prevailing winds and offer a private, yet functional space, is reminiscent of the farmhouses that once dotted the Gard countryside. The property is entered from the west via a wide carriage entrance flanked by former stone stables. The entrance marks the threshold to a quiet, enclosed world, far removed from any hustle and bustle. Behind the discreet entrance there is a vast, light-filled central courtyard, bordered by the three wings of the house. The walls, made of local stone and rubble with a patina finish, reveal the building's age – probably before the 19th century. Most of the windows are straight; some of them are wide and high, with pointed or basket-handle arches on the garden level. They are surrounded with ashlar. The roofs are covered with canal tiles on double-sloped wooden frames and bordered by a double cornice. They feature recesses that testify to the successive extensions and changes to the building complex over the generations. The courtyard, enhanced by the recent addition of a swimming pool, highlights the former productive function of the site while showing its transformation into an elegant living space. In the wings, which were once attics or agricultural outbuildings, a few windows let in light and mean that they can be used for other purposes. Facing due south, the main building, which captures the warmth and light of the Mediterranean, provides wide views over the interior of the property through its many windows.

House with garden and terrace Chatillon-sur-seine (21)
An elegant house with a 470m² floor area, fully renovated in an English style and nestled in the town of Châtillon-sur-Seine in northern Burgundy. The house and garden lie up on a hill in the town, opposite Saint-Vorles Church, which looks down over the River Seine valley and the Douix spring. This neighbourhood is especially calm. It separates the town centre from Châtillon forest. The street Rue Saint-Vorles is steep, so gardens here are terraced, and the road offers a pleasant view of the town. With this incline, you cannot immediately see that the house actually has four levels and that its basement becomes a garden-level floor. The house’s elevations combine Burgundy stone with brickwork, giving the edifice an appearance that is half-French, half-English. On the street side, just beneath the zinc roof, there is a terrace on the second floor. Two towers flank the house’s main section. The first one is broad and rises up to the terrace, where it stops. The other one is more slender and stretches all the way up to the second floor. The property’s garages are separated from the house and mark the edge of the garden. From the property, you can admire an outstanding view of Saint-Vorles Church, as well as ruins of the town’s old fortifications and the tree-dotted parkland beside them. At night, lighting showcases these places, bringing out their splendour.

House with garden and terrace Villeneuve-sur-Lot (47)
A stately 19th-century neoclassical-style dwelling and its outbuildings, on 2.6-hectare grounds, within walking distance to shops. This eye-catching property is composed of a stately manor house constructed in 1857 according to the standards in place for 19th-century manor houses. Belonging to the same family for more than six generations, from above, the dwelling, located in the middle of the property, blends in harmoniously with its surrounding tree-filled estate of 2.5 hectares, the latter of which is bordered to the north by a road and shielded from view thanks to a ring of multi-century trees. The property is accessible from a gate that opens onto a gravel drive, curving gracefully all the way to the manor’s main façade where it widens to create a formal courtyard, before circumventing the building in order to provide access to the outbuildings. With an orderly exterior cadenced by delicately sculpted vertical rows of windows and ashlar stone quoins, this rectangular three-storey main building, completely symmetrical, was constructed out of local limestone, while its main façade, facing south towards the garden, is organised around a curved double staircase, which leads to a patio safeguarded by a stone balustrade. With a barrel tile hipped roof, adorned with decorative pediments and carved stone chimneys, the main dwelling faces, to the north, a group of outbuildings that includes an ancient open-air barn, independent accommodations in need of a renovation, a chicken coop and a tobacco drying shed. Classically composed and highlighting the manor’s impressive architectural coherence, which has been carefully conserved over the centuries, the property’s verdant grounds contain a stream and a waterfall to the east, an immense meadow encircled by a walking path and a row of trees to the south, while a well bears witness to the property’s original hydraulic autonomy.

Farmhouse with outbuildings and garden Balma (31)
A former farm building renovated into a family house and surrounded by 6,000-m² grounds, 25 minutes to the east of Toulouse and 15 minutes from Balma. The property is accessible from a secure electric gate. The 18th-century former farm building has two storeys and is located around the bend of a dirt track. Surrounded on all sides by abundant vegetation covering over 6,000 m² of hedge-enclosed and terraced grounds, the house faces an idyllic swimming pool, perfect for cooling off in the summer months. Two outbuildings-workshops adjacent to the living space as well as the pool house and the carport, were built to the right of the main building, which also includes an extension on its left side. The colourful, yet understated, partly plastered façades are primarily in red brick, a ubiquitous material in the region, which is also used for the rectangular or drop arch window surrounds, while the roofs are mostly gabled and covered with traditional tiles.
