    House Bordeaux (33)

    An 18th-century manor house with 2.7-hectare grounds, between Bordeaux and the River Dordogne. This residence is located on the roadside of the thoroughfare running alongside the River Dordogne and is made up of a rectangular edifice flanked by two outbuildings. The main section, as well as most of the outbuildings, are constructed in ashlar topped by roofs made of traditional half-round tiles. The façade is punctuated with segmental arched windows framed by sober mouldings and is a perfect illustration of the 18th-century country house architecture in the area around Bordeaux, an era in which the owner Mr. Soubran most likely undertook partial reconstruction, leading to the residence being given its current name. It has preserved its impressive appearance in spite of some of the outbuildings being in ruins. Today, the house made of local stone has a ground floor made up of three reception rooms, a kitchen, an office and a variety of storage space. On the upper floor, there are four bedrooms as well as a reading area. The edifice stands in a vast, 2.7-hectare garden with a small wood in the middle.

    Mill Thiviers (24)

    A 17th-century mill, with water rights, on two hectares of grounds including one kilometre of riverbanks, nestled within the Green Périgord region of Dordogne. At the end of a tarmacked lane that winds its way up a gentle slope and through a forest of chestnut trees, the hamlet includes the miller’s house, a barn and a stately mill typical of the 17th century, built on a granite rock from the Jurassic period, and once under the purview of the fiefdom of Jaubert de Nanthiat. The site’s unspoilt and beautiful natural environment, perched on the banks of the Isle River, provides opportunities to observe otters, herons and kingfishers from it many patios, while, once past the property’s entrance and at the end of a parking area, the mill's large water wheel, four metres in diameter, and its locks leave a lasting impression. As for the grounds, of approximately 2 hectares and planted with many trees, it runs alongside private riverbanks for more than a kilometre, while the mill, with its beaches of golden sand, acts like a balcony over the river. Lastly, a garage and a wooden shed, appearing on the land registry and used for storage and as a painter’s studio, respectively, could easily be converted for other purposes.

    House Le Castellet (83)

    A 19th century townhouse in Le Castellet in Provence, with a floor area of 300 m² and panoramic views over the vineyards and the sea . The upper section of the house - the ground floor with terrace and upper floor - totalling almost 200 m², could be sold separately for €660,000. Once you have entered the village, admired the 17th-century wash-house and crossed the Place des Remparts, there is direct access to the lower part of the house - level B-2. Alternatively, once you have passed through the “Portalet” - the old fortified gateway - and followed the alleyways for 80 metres, you can reach the ground floor via the main entrance situated in the centre of the village. The terraced house has a four-storey southern facade. At once bright, impressive and graceful, it features two turrets framing the large terrace. This 18th- or 19th-century complex of almost 300 m², built atop the old ramparts, exudes a certain aesthetic and visual balance. The two-storey northern facade resembles a sober, generous 'bourgeois' residence. Its typical Provence style monk-and-nun tiled roof is bordered by a triple cornice of shortened tiles. Although most trips are made on foot to take full advantage of the pedestrianised streets and close proximity to shops in the village, a car can be parked along the south-facing facade. The public and residents' car park is around 150 m away.

    Mas Avignon (84)

    An eighteenth-century Provençal house 15 minutes from Orange TGV station, in the historical county of Venaissin with 2.4 hectares of wooded grounds and a view of Mount Ventoux. This property was once part of a vast, plain, farming estate, of which it still has 2.4 ha of land. The constructions stand on the north-east side of its land on a knoll, circumvented by a meander of the Carpentras canal, marking the northern limit. The main entrance, leading to a courtyard, is provided by gates on the south-west side, facing the estate’s land. On the north-east side, a high wall, lined with unsquared surface limestone, encloses the courtyard; a little door in this perimeter wall makes it possible to reach an outstanding stand of oak trees, on the north slope, bordered by the canal. The main building is a traditional Provençal country house, constructed at the end of the 18th century, even the beginning of the 19th century, probably on the foundations of an earlier construction, notably visible in the enclosed courtyard courtesy of the vestiges of old blocked up windows. It spans two levels and faces southwards over the courtyard. It is symmetrically and harmoniously composed and topped with a triple overhanging cornice, forming the eaves. Its lime-rendered walls feature aligned openings, framed with painted surrounds, enhanced with red edging. The north-east corner of the country house features a wide, drop arch, carriage door, topped with a virtually square opening, indicating a probable reconstruction of the country house’s east gable or a vestige of an earlier construction. A square, single-storey pavilion, topped with a roof terrace, bears witness to an earlier building, possibly a 2-storey dovecote. Reached via steps on the west facade, it marks the southern limit of the country house. It is extended by a terraced area, supported by a dry-stone wall, containing a swimming pool that closes the courtyard. And lastly, the parklands extend over the top of the open area to the south of the courtyard. Planted with Mediterranean species, notably convoluted pine trees, they still include some decoratively trimmed boxwood and a masonry well, topped with a local limestone dome.

    House Arles (13)

    In Provence, in Roman Arles, a 18th-century patrician residence open to varied interpretations. The small street in immediate proximity to the arenas and the ancient theater belongs to the deepest soul of Gallo-Roman Arles. Every street, every stone, everything here is marked by history. Generations and buildings have succeeded one another, reinforcing the existing structures. The hill of Hauture, in the protected sector, preserves the monumental traces of imperial antiquity along with the architectural beauty brought to the city by the Provençal power of later epochs. This neighborhood has maintained its residential character with the extension over time of urban development to the west, as seen in all Western cities. A local scholar from the 19th century noted that the property, enclosed by walls, consisted of two houses in 1735 and had been sold at that time by a squire from Avignon. Oriented east-west, this stone building rises three levels in facade and offers approximately 290 m² of living space, set above a cellar basement suitable for maintaining the dwelling. The rectangular openings of the first two levels enclose the small panes of the windows under the arched entablature at a great height. The solid shutters have retained their wood and ironwork. Under the Roman tile roof, the old patinated plaster surfaces harmonize with the street. On the heavy wooden entrance door, the contours of the wooden work, the lowered arch of the stone entablature, and the typically rococo cartouche corroborate the architectural origins of the Regency-Louis XV edifice. Finally, the residence benefits from a concrete and landscaped terrace of about 40 m² on the first floor and, lower down, a garage with a similar area topped by a mezzanine, as well as a completely mineral back courtyard.This description has been automatically translated from French.

    House with garden and terrace Gréoux-les-Bains (04)

    In a medieval village of the Verdon Regional Natural Park, a stone house with a terraced garden and dominant view. Access to the property is via a quiet street in the village. A hidden secondary entrance, elevated, leads to the garden and the south-facing terrace. The house is also associated with an integrated garage with direct street access. The built structure, originally composed of three former barns combined, offers a living area of approximately 225 m² divided into ten main rooms. They are arranged around several levels, half-levels, and a central staircase. The whole sits on a plot of about 3,200 m², partially in natural terraces, wooded, and landscaped, overlooking the village. The architectural elements are typical of the region: visible stone walls both outside and inside, original hexagonal terracotta floors, ceilings with exposed beams in the French style. Completely repurposed as a family home since the 1980s, the residence is solid and immediately habitable.This description has been automatically translated from French.

    House Loches (37)

    Near Loches, in a historic town of Touraine, an old abbatial residence listed as a historical monument (MH), along with its enclosed garden and canal. At the center of the town, the MH-listed house probably dates back to the 14th century. It served as the residence of a Benedictine abbey, the buildings of which from the 18th century still face it. Raised over two levels, the structure features a tall and wide gable with roundels, adorned with a "trumpet of Montpellier," and its stone corbel. The slate roof is characteristic of constructions from the 15th and 16th centuries. The main facade, perpendicular to the street, opens onto the garden, accessible through a gate. The openings vary in size, and two square turrets flank the building, one of which is topped with a slate roof with four slopes. On the street side, an old wing is constructed of dressed stone masonry, under a single-slope roof with flat tiles. The north facade and the gable facing the canal, also with roundels, have clearly been modified in the 17th century, with the creation of three large openings per level, in an effort to harmonize with a "new" wing from the same period, which is now a separate property. A small canal runs along the property.

    Property Bram (11)

    A characterful dwelling with a 700m² landscaped garden, nestled in the heart of a village in south-west France’s Aude department. The property dates back to the 17th century. It lies in the centre of the quaint village. From the narrow street that runs alongside it, you can admire the house’s stone facade coated with rendering and you can pick out its three levels and five evenly spaced bays. This facade was redesigned in the 18th century. It faces east and is plain in style, punctuated with arched windows set in ashlar surrounds and fitted with painted wooden shutters. A double-row génoise cornice underlines a gabled roof of barrel tiles. On the other side of the dwelling, the west side, a 700m² landscaped garden offers a remarkable view of the beautiful surroundings. The house has kept all its original features, including the floors, which, on the ground floor, are adorned with cement tiles that vary in shape and colour from room to room, adding an elegant touch of creativity to a home with fine ornamentation. Upstairs, the floors are covered with original square terracotta tiles. A workshop and garage adjoin the home, offering handy annexes. And a little house with a first floor lies higher up in the garden and needs to be entirely renovated.

    Property Sées (61)

    In Sées, in the former enclosure of the Cordeliers, a priory residence and its city garden. On a quiet street, a stone's throw from the old halls, the house occupies the former priory residence of the Cordeliers convent and adjoins the remains of the former conventual church. The building is flanked by two other residences, one of which has a pavilion-roofed tower. A small gate opens onto a neat, enclosed front garden that highlights the 18th-century façade, which is three stories high. Two lateral bays, pierced with tall openings topped with oculi and triangular pediments, frame a central bay marked by an entrance door, an oculus, a window, and a dormer. The regular masonry is made of white stone and the roof is covered with flat tiles. At the back, a city garden extends the house and reveals, on the facade, the trace of an even older building. A central projecting body is pierced by a semicircular arched porch. From the entrance, a vestibule distributes the reception rooms and the main staircase. The upper floors house the bedrooms, a former oratory converted into an office, and converted attics. The whole retains numerous elements from the 17th to the 19th century.This description has been automatically translated from French.

    House Villenave-de-Rions (33)

    In Gironde, in the Entre-deux-Mers, a neo-Gothic castle above the vineyards, in a 25-hectare park. Built according to a compact plan almost rectangular in shape, the castle is raised over three levels. Its volume, compact and vertical, fits within the tradition of seigneurial residences adapted over time for residential use. The roof, very steep and slate-covered, is punctuated by tall chimney stacks, characteristic of the architecture of western France. The gables, with acute slopes, are crowned with finials or stone crosses, while narrow dormer windows rhythm the roofing and contribute to the overall slender silhouette. In a simple composition, the facades are animated by irregularly distributed openings, inherited from different construction phases. Some, in a round arch or slightly broken, highlighted by discreet sculpted frames, evoke the Gothic style. The castle is accompanied by two outbuildings. The entire setting is located within a terrain of over 25 hectares, dotted with ancient trees and in connection with slopes planted with vines, covering about 7 hectares.This description has been automatically translated from French.

    House with garden Onesse-et-Laharie (40)

    In Onesse-Laharie, in the Landes, 30 minutes from the beaches, a stone master house from the 19th century on a plot of about 4,800 m². Built at the end of the 19th century, the property occupies the center of a plot of nearly square shape, within the village and bordering a road leading to the ocean. The master house is part of the context of the buildings erected by wealthy families in the region, designed to last through generations. The symmetrical facade is rhythmically aligned with windows framed in stone and wooden shutters. The buildings are organized around the main residence, with former stables converted into outbuildings of approximately 80 m² to renovate, as well as a large closed garage. Characteristic of Landes master houses, the building is distinguished by an orderly composition and a vertical elevation. Elevated on a healthy basement, it extends over three additional levels. To the north, a landing leads to an entrance with a floor paved with old cement tiles. The ceiling height of the ground floor reaches about 3.70 m. The house has a living area of approximately 540 m². The ground floor includes common living rooms as well as one bedroom. The first floor hosts four bedrooms, each with a shower room. A staircase leads to the attics, converted into two additional bedrooms, also with shower rooms.This description has been automatically translated from French.

To the north, a farm arranged in a longère extends to the back of the outbuildings. To the southwest of the park stands a large barn.

    House with pool Bonas (32)

    A grand house dating back to 1810 with a guesthouse, a pool and 30 hectares of grounds that evoke Tuscany, on a hill two minutes from a spa town in France's beautiful Gers department. A small country lane that snakes through fields and groves leads to the estate. An electric wrought-iron gate, framed between tall stone pillars, takes you onto a long driveway lined with towering cypress trees. The whole property enjoys privacy at the top of a hill that overlooks a small valley. The estate covers around 30 hectares, including 15 hectares of landscaped parkland with Mediterranean plants and trees, as well as terraces and dry-stone retaining walls that evoke Tuscany. There are also two orchards, one of which is walled. At a lower level and set back, there is a swimming pool with a stone-tiled poolside area. The pool is 14 metres long and 7 metres wide. A flight of stone steps stretches up to large terraces upon which the grand Gascon house stands proudly, extended with a wing for guests in former annexes on the north side. A rectangular outbuilding with a caretaker’s dwelling, workshops, a garage and a vast loft stands by a lane to a parking area. At the bottom of the plot, there is an agricultural storage building in which you can store tools for maintaining the parkland.

    Property with pool Montesquieu (47)

    Near Agen, a 17th-century estate combining heritage and modernity, with stables, a guesthouse, and other outbuildings. The private pathway leading to the property ascends a wooded hillside overlooking the floodplain, dedicated to cereal and fruit cultivation and traversed by the Garonne canal; it runs alongside a powerful terraced wall and the first buildings of the property. The local climate is temperate, with hot summers and no dry season. Built on the hillside, the residence offers a panoramic view of the Garonne valley, which marks the border with Gascony. Historically part of an agricultural estate and well protected from flooding, it represents a typical example of a noble house from the Agen region. Elevated over two levels on cellars and composed of three wings arranged at right angles, it features sober stone facades, plastered and regularly pierced with straight openings, with dressings in ashlar and brick corbelling. It is bordered by a terrace to the north. Like the main house, which has been fully renovated, all other constructions are operational, in accordance with the wishes of the current occupants, and are gathered around a private enclosed garden. The courtyard, rectangular and half-paved, half-grassy, serves the living quarters and agricultural buildings. These have retained their corbelling and the entablature of the exterior facades in brick, reflecting an architectural adaptation that dates back to the Restoration, while the other facades, in rubble stone, are plastered or pointed. The roofs, mostly gabled in two or four slopes, are covered with either canal tiles or mechanical tiles. Only the half-timbered dovecote, the pool room, and the guesthouse located in the large barn with a gallery are separated from the built complex. Finally, the park, grassy and wooded with multiple species, includes a swimming pool and its building in the center, a dovecote to the north, an orchard to the southeast, and a small wood to the west.This description has been automatically translated from French.

    House Lestiac-sur-Garonne (33)

    In the Entre-deux-Mers, 30 minutes from Bordeaux, a wine château built in the 19th century, with a swimming pool, pond, and 3 hectares of land including 1 hectare of vines. Built in the 19th century, the property extends over approximately 3 hectares, of which 1 hectare is planted equally with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The château is positioned at the center of an almost square ensemble, with several stone outbuildings. Raised in the tradition of bourgeois residences in the southwest of France in the late 19th century, the house presents a sober architecture of classical inspiration, marked by the symmetry of its facades and the balance of its proportions. The pale stone walls have retained a homogeneous patina, shaped by time and the local climate. The main facade is rhythmically punctuated by tall vertical openings framed by metal balustrades. The entrance, slightly set back behind a blue-painted door, fits into a regular composition that emphasizes the ordered simplicity of the whole. Access is primarily from the southwest via a monumental staircase that precedes a terrace bordered by a stone balustrade. The facade, built of light stone, features a regular composition with tall finely framed openings that accentuate the impression of verticality. Balconies with wrought iron railings enliven the elevation. The front door is situated beneath a small awning supported by a metal structure. A second entrance is arranged on the opposite facade, whose architecture, more stripped down, maintains the same compositional balance. The horizontal lines drawn by the stone bands structure the whole. The door is protected by a soberly designed metal awning and opens onto a vast terrace facing the outdoor spaces. Finally, two tall chimneys frame the roof, elevated on a healthy gravelled basement developed over three additional levels, including the attic.This description has been automatically translated from French.

    Castle Passignano sul Trasimeno (Italy)

    In Umbria, a medieval castle with a 35-metre tower, in need of renovation, situated between Lake Trasimeno, Perugia .... Before roads, before maps, before Umbria became a name on a sign, this tower was used to keep watch. Thirty-five metres of stone raised by men who knew that the landscape was a matter of survival. The castle that stands beside it has weathered the centuries with the same silent determination. Lake Trasimeno glistens below. The Tuscan hills close in on the horizon. Nothing in this setting was built to please, everything was built to last. The interiors are still awaiting their final chapter. It is as much a responsibility as it is a freedom.
