Private mansion with garden Autun (71)
An 18th century private mansion with a courtyard and garden in the upper districts of Autun, 2 hours from Paris . The estate is located in a quiet street lined with private mansions, a stone's throw from Saint-Lazare cathedral. Built according to the rules of classical architecture, the property is laid out around a central courtyard bordered to the south by the main dwelling, with its pure lines directed to catch the southern light. The eastern wing, set at right angles, still bears traces of its original purpose. The former outbuildings reveal three semi-circular vaults, one of which is still visible from the courtyard. The small outbuildings to the south complete the composition, closing off the courtyard area. The property cultivates the art of discretion, concealing a vast, leafy garden to the east, invisible from the street. There are three entrances: the main entrance via a double gate opening onto the courtyard, a foot door opening onto the street - a former service entrance - and a garden entrance adjacent to the three garages which are accessible from a back alley.

Private mansion with garden Auxerre (89)
In Burgundy, an hour and ten minutes from Paris, an 18th century mansion house. This mansion house stands in the midst of extensive wooded, enclosed parklands in the middle of the town. Spiked, wrought iron gates open into parklands, laid out in a French formal manner and bordered by old walls, pleasantly covered with wisteria and vines. In front of the residence is a parterre planted with old roses. Various species of tall trees, over a hundred years old, set the tone. Behind the building is a small, medieval vegetable garden, planted with different herbs. Historical background This mansion house was built in 1780 as part of the major urban planning works, including the construction of the town hall and the development of the banks of the river Yonne, that took place in the town in the 18th century. A middle-class home, it stands but a few metres from the political and military decision-making centres and accommodated such illustrious characters as Prince Ferdinand-Philippe, Duke of Orléans, oldest son of King Louis-Philippe. A private ball was held in his honour in the mansion house’s staterooms. This historic property was then lived in by Fernand-Schneider, a great military character, one of whose sons married one of the daughters of Jacques-Chaband-Delmas. The Schneider family remained here until 2010.

Listed private mansion with garden Paris 5ᵗʰ (75)
Close to the Luxembourg Gardens, in a small Directoire-style hotel overlooking the garden, a 130 m² duplex apartment with a salon decorated under historical monument classification. The apartment occupies the right wing of a small private hotel listed as a historical monument, hidden from the street by a modern building designed by Jean Dubuisson, a laureate of the Grand Prix de Rome in 1945. A caretaker resides on the premises. A first glass airlock, protected by a code followed by an intercom, leads to a vast hall under video surveillance, dressed in pale beige marble. Through large glass walls, a shaded garden with white gravel paths reveals itself, planted with acacias and sycamores, embellished with small circular flower beds combining rhododendrons, ivy, and hydrangeas. At the end of the 19th century, it housed artists' workshops. Alfons Mucha and Jean Dupas notably worked there. Built in 1796, the hotel Scelles is a remarkable specimen of late 18th-century architecture. Designed for the sculptor and marble worker François Scelles, the building occupies part of the domain of the convent of the Carmelites, sold as national property during the Revolution. The facade of the hotel, strictly ordered, is raised one story above the ground floor and opens through five bays on either side of a central body of lodging. This is set between two thin marble pilasters in a very slight projection, elevated, and adorned on the noble floor with three triangular pediments. A witness of the 17th century, the cornice of stone balusters announces, with its flat roof, the French-style covering of the 18th century. The second floor of the central body dominates the facade with its three windows with crossettes surmounted by a sculpted tie. Two stone consoles support the whole, surmounted by a curvilinear pediment pierced by an oculus sheltering the supposed bust of François Scelles. A private entrance, at the right angle of the facade, serves two lodgings. The access door reveals a hall decorated with a cloakroom as well as a staircase leading to the first floor. The facade rhythmically features six tall windows doubled with wooden shutters, exposed to the southwest and overlooking the garden; this level consists of a kitchen, a dining room of nearly 18 m², and, in succession, a bedroom of about 15 m², accompanied by its bathroom and wardrobe. Adjacent to the dining room and listed in the inventory of historical monuments, a reception room of approximately 38 m², with a vaulted ceiling, is pierced to the west by a wide arched transom. The interior decoration of the large salon, built in place of the former oratory of Louise de La Vallière, is certainly unique in France due to the quality, diversity, and rarity of the marbles covering its walls. These marbles are presented in shades of chip, red from Languedoc, and green from the Pyrenees. Pilasters of purple breccia topped with capitals support a molded cornice that frames a wide painted border in grisaille, inspired by Pompeii, where women dressed in antiquity dance on either side of famous men's busts represented in trompe-l'œil within medallions. Massive mahogany double doors close all exits. The level also includes guest toilets. In the dining room, a wooden staircase leads to a second mansard level. Two bedrooms of approximately 10 and 16 m² with exposed beams, a bathroom, and separate toilets occupy the upper floor. An underground parking space and a cellar, both accessible by elevator, complete the property.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Loft with terrace Avignon (84)
A 200-m² 1952 Freycinet barge to be renovated, converted into an artist’s studio, with a terrace on the deck, anchored on the River Rhône in Avignon. Freycinet sized barges, which are an integral part of water transport’s history, draw their name from the European Freycinet standard governing the dimension of locks and canals since 1879, with which they comply. Such river boats must not exceed 38.5 metres in length and 5 metres in width, like this venerable old lady that has seen 73 spring times. She was made in the Waechter shipyards near Antwerp in 1952 and bears the moniker ‘Bestiole’. Her upper deck can be reached by a metal swing gangway, linking the former tow path, now densely covered with foliage, to a metal security gate, after which there is a walkway leading to the barge’s rail. It was restored in the 1980s, during which the hold was transformed into a workshop and the forecastle into living space. It now boasts two decks of living quarters with a total surface of approximately 200 m². The upper deck is comprised of a teak-deck platform with a small swimming pool, above a forecastle transformed into living space, linked to the rear quarters and the wheelhouse. The interior can be reached via three separate entrances: one at the bow leading to the upper and lower decks, another at the stern near the wheelhouse above the sailors’ quarters and the last through the glazed opening in the forecastle. The upper deck is separated into two parts: the wheelhouse, which still boasts mahogany woodwork, bevelled mirrors, plus1950s copper handles, and, at the front, a section converted in the 1980s into a vast and bright living room with a view of the river and city. The wood panelled walls and fairly generous ceiling height of more than 2 metres perpetuate the ambiance of the 1950s part. The kitchen, with an old cooker riveted to the floor as if refusing point blank to abandon ship, separates the forecastle from the quarter deck. An ample staircase descends to the lower deck which was formerly the hold but is today an approximately 60-m² artist’s studio, standing between the water’s reflection to port and the green riverbanks to starboard. Four cabins with en suite shower rooms can be reached via an interior corridor into which light streams through portholes. Beneath a painted metal ceiling, there are wooden floorboards. The portholes, windows and patio doors are double glazed. The boat is approved as ‘water-worthy’ according to its up-to-date compulsory technical assessment. Its engine is in fine condition and it possesses all the required gear and tackle.

Property with pool and garden La Chartre-sur-le-Loir (72)
To the north of Tours, on more than 6 hectares of meadows and woods, an elegant 18th-century Loire property has been restored. Once a vineyard, fully restored 15 years ago, the property takes its name from local history. Passing through the gate, the residence stands out with its symmetry and the nobility of its materials. Built on a rectangular plan, with partly glazed pavilions reconstructed at its ends, the main building is raised over two levels beneath a fine slate roof, pierced with pedimented dormers. The main façade, facing the setting sun, reflects the sober classicism of the 18th century and more opulent alterations from the 19th and 20th centuries. The whole is rhythmically punctuated by windows with dressed stone frames, topped with discreet cornices. The interior features an approximate living space of 320 m². The outbuildings are arranged around a courtyard of honor. At the back, the house conceals a garden enclosed by plant hedges, sheltered from view. Successive terraces overlook the landscape, which consists of a large meadow and a wooded slope. Behind the woods, on a plateau, lie two meadows and a private landing strip for ultralight aircraft. Paddocks and a horse shelter are located behind the outbuildings.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House Castroverde (Spain)
In Castroverde, a 17th-century pazo with an arcaded courtyard, secondary residence and over 9 hectares in the Terras .... The first references to this stately home date back to 1660, when the estate belonged to the powerful Osorio-Santiso family. The coats of arms carved in stone, crowned with noble insignia, bear witness to a history of battles and Galician lordships. The main pazo, measuring approximately 2,000 m², features a 200 m² interior courtyard surrounded by exceptionally graceful stone arcades. Although in need of complete restoration, the stone walls remain solid and the original features are waiting to be restored to their former glory. A second modern dwelling, a stone wash house and a barn with a traditional oven complete the property, located 23 km from Lugo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. An architectural heritage where a new chapter of history can be written.

House with pool and garden Reguengos de Monsaraz (Portugal)
In Reguengos de Monsaraz, Alentejo, a rare Victorian Gothic palace dating from 1857. Rare and unique... This Victorian Gothic palace, built in 1857 in the Alentejo region, has preserved the mark of its aristocratic patrons. It is more than just a 19th-century residence: its interior reveals architecture that is unusual for the region, where Gothic aesthetics interact with Victorian proportions. The main floor features six-metre-high ceilings, decorated with original stucco and frescoes that bear witness to a bygone way of life. Eight bedrooms, four bathrooms, spacious living rooms with period features and terraces make up the 2,000 m² of the residence, set within a 4,000 m² enclosed garden that enhances the whole. The palace's size makes it ideal for a variety of projects, a quality enhanced by its proximity to Monsaraz and the waters of the Alqueva. The property, which requires complete restoration, thus offers a wide range of possibilities: private residence or tourist accommodation. An opportunity to continue the history of an architectural work whose unique identity remains intact.

Listed private mansion with garden Auxerre (89)
A 16th-century, listed historical monument townhouse with a garden and former notary’s office, in Burgundy, in the historical heart of a town renowned for its architecture and history. The property stands at the corner of two quiet streets in the old centre and is made up of a townhouse, part of which is listed as a historical monument, a former notary’s office and a garden. The main entrance boasts an imposing, finely crafted, wrought iron gate that opens onto a gravelled courtyard. The U-shaped main dwelling is topped with a roof made of flat tiles and has a red brick and limestone façade set slightly back from the street. The central section is punctuated with tall windows fitted with louvred shutters, while a dormer with an arched pediment and flanked with scrolls decorated in the form of acanthus leaves is a reminder of the building’s Great Century ornamental heritage. Wrought iron guard-rails, ribbed pilasters, belt courses and quoins also punctuate the façades. Two symmetrical pavilions topped with pyramid-shaped slate roofs stand either side of the central section. There is a second entrance through a secure door and a carriage gate, equipped with motor-driven jacks, leading to the inner courtyard paved with bricks, where one vehicle can be parked.

Property Ventas Blancas (Spain)
In the Valdegovía valley, in Álava, a historic 16th-century residence, accessible via a Roman bridge.. A residence that seems to have escaped the passage of time. Built in 1582, Venta Blanca stands in the heart of the Basque valley, guardian of a memory that nothing has altered. Its thick stone walls, generous volumes and access via a Roman bridge give the place a suspended, almost unreal atmosphere. John Adams, future president of a nation yet to be born, stayed there in 1780, and this anecdote says something about the attraction that the house has exerted for centuries. The surrounding area, with its ancient salt flats, medieval villages and unspoilt hills, forms an unspoilt landscape, far from the tourist trails, yet easily accessible from Bilbao or Vitoria. The property would be ideal for someone looking for a characterful residence or for a hotel or cultural project. The possibilities are endless, the history palpable, the surrounding nature unspoilt.

Castle Tours (37)
In the Indrois valley, in southern Touraine, a carefully restored strong house from the 15th century, its park and pool. Away from the hamlet, hidden behind trees, the residence and its outbuildings present a homogeneous ensemble. Around it, the park forms an area partly wooded. All around, it is the countryside. Organized around a courtyard, the castle was completely restored in the 1980s. The facade of the main dwelling is dominated in its center by a square tower occupied by a spiral staircase. All the exterior walls are in exposed stone. Large windows, both single and double, are complemented by stone mullions. Their surrounds and supports are made of stone and granite. All the frames have been replaced with oak, featuring leaded glass panes, sometimes colored green or yellow. Inside, the floors of all rooms are paved with old terracotta tiles. All the walls are plastered, and the ceilings are in the French style, with exposed beams. Six monumental stone fireplaces with powerful jambs bear witness to the antiquity of the place. The building is flanked on one side by a small house and on the other, at a right angle, by a lower wing of outbuildings. A barn, also at a right angle, closes off the back of the courtyard. Pigsties and the enclosing wall complete the fencing. Thus sheltered and organized around a well, the ensemble is accessible from a large gate.

Castle Aiguillon (47)
A partly restored 18th-century dwelling and 16th-century lodge surrounding their courtyard, set in grounds of around 4 ha with swimming pool, spring and stream in Lot-et-Garonne. The property forms a group of buildings including a rectangular manor house centred on its inner courtyard, surrounded by grounds of approx. 4 ha comprising mixed woodland, meadows and a small valley, and featuring a renowned spring. Beyond the boundaries of the estate, the surroundings might seem rather unattractive to some - given the presence of greenhouses and farm buildings. However, these structures are forgotten as soon as you follow a long driveway lined with majestic umbrella pines and enter the heart of the property. Built over the course of several centuries, the dwelling is made up of a number of different sections and interconnected inside and out. The dressed stone building is predominantly one storey high, with one section comprising two upper floors above a garden level. It includes an 18th century main building, a 16th century lodge and a former winery, following on from one another harmoniously. They are arranged around an enclosed courtyard with a central well, which is accessed from the outside via a porch.

Private mansion with garden Saint-raphael (83)
A belle époque villa with a garden and an unrivalled sea view on the Mediterranean coast between Saint-Raphaël and Cannes. The villa lies in the middle of a terraced garden of around 3,000m² that stretches down to the famous Corniche d’Or coastal road. A caretaker’s house stands at the plot’s north-west corner where it leads onto a road that runs behind the property. The main entrance door leading into the house is in the villa’s rear elevation, on the first floor. You reach it via a bridge from the garden. The plot originally extended on both sides of the famous Corniche d’Or coastal road all the way down to the beach. An orange grove was planted on the sea side and an underground passage was built beneath the road for easy access to the beach. The enclosing wall that demarcates the property is built with the same pattern of stonework as the villa’s elevations. Double-pear balusters crown this wall. A magnificent wrought-iron entrance gate leads into the property from the Corniche d’Or coastal road. A swimming pool lies behind the villa in one part of the vast garden. The villa bears the hallmarks of work by a civil engineer: it is clear that the architectural choices and construction techniques were carefully considered. The floors are built of reinforced concrete, which ensures solidity and structural stability. The villa’s elevations, terraces and retaining walls are built of Sospel stone laid in an opus incertum pattern. Each block of stone was shaped into an irregular hexagon, which gives the property a unique character. The elevations distinctly reflect art nouveau aesthetics. The influence of the famous French designer Hector Guimard, who was a prominent figure of the art nouveau movement, can clearly be seen in the villa’s general style and sculpted details. This particular design adds historical and artistic value to the property. And the many balconies, terraces and loggias of the dwelling give the villa visual force and create harmony between the interior and the exterior.

Property Candelario (Spain)
In Candelario, a listed village in the Sierra de Béjar, an 18th-century traditional artisan residence. Candelario is one of those mountain villages where time leaves no trace, where every stone tells a story of necessity. Perched in the Sierra de Béjar, ranked among the most beautiful in Spain, it owes its character to a tradition: that of artisan pork butchers who, since the 18th century, have shaped its architecture. The house we are visiting bears witness to this. Built to house both a family and a craft, it combines thick walls, wooden galleries and large double doors, all designed to withstand the cold and allow meat to dry. The interior spaces still bear the mark of this dual purpose. Outside, rushing waterways line the cobbled streets. The whitewashed façades stand out against a wooded backdrop that rises to over 2,000 metres. The whole forms a setting whose authenticity lies less in its beauty than in its coherence. To buy here is to choose a place where history is not an argument but a tangible reality.

Property Lisbon (Portugal)
In the São Vicente neighbourhood, an 18th-century Pombaline palace. In the São Vicente neighbourhood, a stone's throw from the National Pantheon and São Jorge Castle, an 18th-century palace awaits restoration. Formerly the residence of the Cardinal and then the Marquis of Pombal's family, the mansion has stood the test of time, retaining its Pombaline façade and original features: cut stone, vaulted ceilings and azulejo panels. More than 1,800 square metres bear witness to a history that continued until 1990, when a customs transit company still occupied the premises. This last period has left unexpected traces that add to the uniqueness of the complex. The proximity of Santa Apolónia railway station and the underground makes it easy to reach Lisbon's historic centre. Due to its size and location, the palace is suitable for a variety of projects: residential development, institutional headquarters, cultural space or venue for creative activities. A unique property in the Portuguese capital.

Private mansion with garden Nantes (44)
Dans un quartier paisible de Nantes, un hôtel particulier du 19e s. confortable et rénové. This townhouse was built in the middle of the 19th century, on creation of the Mellinet district, in a provincial neo-classical style, characteristic of the period’s architectural codes. The property can be found on one of the large boulevards that had recently been created at the time. The four-storey main building stands among others, with a tree-filled garden to the rear. At the end of the plot, the property’s garage can be reached via an adjacent street. The townhouse’s garden storey is on the basement level. The edifice boasts a symmetrical layout that is typical of its time, giving the property a feeling of balance and rigour. On the façade overlooking the street, the windows are rectangular with straight lintels, or with semi-circular arches on the upper floor. They possess limestone frames with bevelled edges, topped by slightly moulded sills. The façade is crowned by a sober entablature, including a slightly protruding cornice, underlined by an interplay of striking shadows, which elegantly completes the composition. The neutral, off-white cladding highlights the natural colour of the limestone on the window and door frames as well as the sleeper wall. The garden façade is similarly arranged but is also enhanced by several features, such as slate-grey painted wooden shutters, a simply edged cornice underlining the separation between the levels and, particularly, an imposing double-flighted set of stone steps, weathered by time, descending into the garden. It serves as a veritable transition between the house and the surrounding vegetation, in the style of grand holiday homes or country manors. Two ornamental urns on stone and cast-iron pedestals can be found on the stoop to which the steps lead.
