Land Gâmbia (Portugal)
In the Sado Estuary Nature Reserve, a 44-hectare site with nine dilapidated buildings in need of restoration. The Sado Estuary Nature Reserve has its own rules. Marshes, salt pans, pine forests and oak groves form a landscape that Portugal has chosen to preserve, and it is precisely this choice that gives this 44-hectare estate its unique value. 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 and terrace Angers (49)
A Renaissance dwelling with guesthouses, outbuildings and a French formal garden, in a village near the River Loire, 30 minutes from the city of Angers. A narrow street in the village leads to the property’s different entrances. This property was once a priory that belonged to Fontevraud Abbey, as can be seen in an inscription on one of the walls. The carriage entrance gate, made of tuffeau stone, is arched and has mouldings. It leads into a gravelled court that extends a French formal garden. The house has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. It is made of rubble stone and dressed tuffeau stone. The main driveway is edged with a square corner tower and a square facade tower, which houses the staircase. The facade has a loggia balcony with a flight of schist stone steps, which has a solid balustrade of tuffeau stone and leads up from the courtyard. A bakehouse adjoins the western gable wall. The play of slate roofs is remarkable: upon the loggia balcony there is a single-slope roof, supported by a tuffeau-stone pillar; upon the main section there is a two-slope roof, punctuated with dormers; upon the bakehouse there is a three-slope roof; and upon the two towers there are four-slope roofs. Impressive gargoyles of tuffeau stone – a griffon at the back and a dog at the front – mark the roof-end edges at the top of the western gable wall. The courtyard also leads to an outbuilding that serves as a garage, to one of the two guesthouses and to a gatehouse beside the pedestrian entrance gate. At the bottom of the French formal garden, there is, on one side, a second guesthouse with an adjoining former washhouse and, on the other side, an open-sided shelter with a workshop. Beyond, the lush grounds edge the surrounding countryside. Behind the outbuilding, there are two earthen terraces, separated by a wall. They run alongside the court and the French formal garden. A gate leads out to a narrow street. There is a stable and a greenhouse on the upper earthen terrace. The property is enclosed with walls, except for the countryside-facing section. All the buildings have been restored masterfully. Some of them are even listed by the Fondation du Patrimoine, France’s leading association for conservation of the country’s built heritage.

Mas L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (84)
In Vaucluse, overlooking the country of Sorgues and its illustrious Isle, the former farmstead of the Baudet de Sade from the 17th century, with its basins and Italian gardens. This former farmstead, linked to the possessions of the Baudet de Sade, is said to have belonged to Abbé Jacques de Sade, uncle of the illustrious 'divine marquis' of the same name, who lived in the Château de Saumane, located to the south beyond a fold of the Vaucluse mountains. Once a vast agricultural estate from the 17th and 18th centuries composed of terraced plots irrigated by springs, it has today preserved an important farmhouse in a right-angle return built against the rock to the north, dominating the valley below. The building reflects particular care given to the elevations on the courtyard side, notably its main façade plastered with ochre lime, pierced with bays featuring low-arched openings and the main entrance door aligned with an old dovecote overhanging the tiled roofs. The secondary body displays an equally elegant design with two wide and tall paired arches opening onto the courtyard, while also showing a contemporary embellishment of the former hayloft on the upper floor. The entire built complex is in perfect harmony with the terraced topography, offering wide landscaped terraces to the south and west, while to the east, a lawn arranged on the largest platform at the bottom of the valley provides a remarkable perspective, enhanced by the alignment on the upper terrace of 27 monoliths supporting a trellis. The ensemble formed by the buildings and the particularly well-maintained landscaping (including a staged ruin of an orangery) accentuates the theatricality of the site nestled in a fold of the Vaucluse foothills and the wooded slopes of the valley, reminiscent of Petrarch's refuge in the Vallis Clausa that he cherished.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House with pool and garden Chambourcy (78)
An ancient 400-m² fortified house, with a swimming pool, and 1,200-m² grounds, on a hillside in Chambourcy. The property was originally a fortified farm, built in the early 13th century by the Poissy family, who then held sway over the region known as 'le Pincerais' — the territory encompassing the fiefs of Chambourcy, Orgeval and Maison. The original construction formed a square of 50 m to a side, surrounded by water-filled moats and flanked by four corner towers. Over the centuries, successive transformations have produced a house of nearly 400 m² arranged across three levels, with five bedrooms and scope for additional rooms. To the rear, a garden of over 800 m² includes a pool adjoining a parkland area; to the front, a paved courtyard of around 80 m². Located towards the top of the hillside, the dwelling overlooks the countryside, while the facade walls are finished in pale rendering; the roof is laid with antique flat tiles. The property extends over an area of nearly 1,200 m² and forms part of a commonhold comprising four units whose drives make up its common areas.

House with garden and terrace Chateaurenaud (71)
A traditional, local farmhouse, with its outbuildings, just few kilometres from Louhans in Burgundy’s Bresse Country. Burgundy’s Bresse Country, set between the foothills of the Jura mountains to the east and the banks of the river Saône to the west, is composed of a plain, crossed by streams as well as ponds and dotted with a scattering of rural homes, constructed from brick and wood, sometimes white stone, topped with a steep roofing framework that used to be thatched. The house currently available for purchase features all the local codes of vernacular rural architecture. It comprises a long, quadrangular building, spanning a ground surface area of 200 m². Constructed from half-timbering and brick, it has a south-facing facade built from stone. The roofing frameworks of the adjoining houses have three slopes. The east facade, with its protruding, double, upper and lower gallery, has three bays for the main house and a single bay for the second house.

Contemporary house with pool and garden Clamart (92)
A 340-m², out-of-the-ordinary house in Clarmart, near to the RER, with views of the Bois de Meudon and Bois de Boulogne woods as well as Paris. These inter-connected houses, one of which was built in 1974 and the other in 2003, forming a whole spanning around 340 m², are respectively called the ‘steel house’ and the ‘house behind the mirror’, given the main materials used in their facades, creating a living environment at the forest’s edge. They are made up of a vast reception area, four bedrooms (with the possibility of an additional one), two rooms used as offices, an indoor swimming pool with a Turkish bath and an open-sided garage. The garden surrounding the edifices is divided into several different levels and includes private access to Meudon forest. In order to obtain the best view, the architect designed both buildings with roof terraces, to benefit from the sunshine. As a result, the property boasts a 180° panoramic view of western Paris as far as Mont Valérien, offering a fine opportunity for contemplation.

House with garden Chateau-gontier (53)
A listed Renaissance manor with a moat, outhouses and 20 hectares of grounds in France’s Haut-Anjou province, between Château-Gontier and Pouancé. In the middle of the estate, two driveways lined with oaks and linden trees lead to a rectangular court. Different buildings stand around it. Most of the facades are more or less south-facing. On the west side, there is the manor’s old section, which dates back to the 12th century. Its height was raised in the 14th century and a new section was built on its north side at a right angle to it with a square staircase tower linking the two parts. The two rectangular wings each have a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. They are made of rubble schist and sandstone with pointing of lime and ochre sand. Slate tiles cover the roofs. Brick chimney stacks rise up from these roofs. The elevations of the two sections were redesigned in the 16th century. They are punctuated with stone-mullioned cross windows set in sandstone surrounds. The large section has decorative features that date back to the Second French Renaissance and that are sculpted in tuffeau stone: a twin dormer, pilasters, a triangular pediment and a cornice with corbels. On the east side of the court, there is a large L-shaped outhouse. And there are two annexes in line with the manor’s old section, immediately south of it. To the north of the court, there is a former moat that runs along the northern elevation of the manor’s large section. The manor and its outbuildings are surrounded by a tree-dotted garden. Beyond this garden, there is farmland divided with hedges.

Manor L'Isle-Adam (95)
An immense and stately Anglo-Norman dwelling from the 1930s, on 14-hectare grounds, thirty minutes west of Paris, near L'Isle-Adam. Commissioned in 1938 by Aristide Quillet, a publisher, mayor of the village and a major local donor, on the site of a former farm known as 'The Dwelling', the impressive manor house overlooks the countryside from its slightly elevated in position. Facing the grounds, with its meadows and woods, and enjoying unobstructed views of the valley, its Anglo-Norman architecture, understated and well proportioned, gracefully combines limestone, exposed timber framing and a multi-pitched roof. Quillet, who was so attached to this site that he invested a significant amount of his wealth in it, created a property that still reflects the careful attention he paid to striking a perfect balance between comfort and the surrounding natural setting. As for the three-storey main building, it is cadenced by protruding foreparts, balconies and patios facing the grounds, whereas its approximately 650 m² of floor area is divided into 15 rooms, 12 of which are bedrooms. Below, a caretaker’s cottage, stone garages and a swimming pool are located on the outskirts of a clearing, while the grounds, of approximately 14 hectares, alternates between open meadows, decorative trees and wooded areas, which provide structure for this bucolic setting.

Farmhouse with outbuildings and garden Cordelle (42)
An 18th-century farm complex looking down at meanders in the River Loire, near the town of Roanne. The house stands on a flat 3,635m² plot. You reach it via a covered carriage entrance that leads into an inner court. This different buildings are arranged around this inner court. The buildings are typical of the rural architecture of the local Forez province. They are laid out in a U shape. Each building had its purpose: a dwelling, a sheep shed, a cowshed, barns, a stable and a pig shed. Today, the home is made up of a main house with the old sheep and pig sheds renovated. The two barns have kept their original proportions. The stone elevations, the old timber roof frames and the positioning of the buildings all bear witness to the place’s agricultural past. Facing east, south and west, the home is bathed in an abundance of natural light all year round.

House with garden and terrace Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (13)
In a village in the Alpilles, a house to renovate and its courtyard. The façade of the house faces the main square of the village. The property includes on the right a square defensive tower made of dressed stones with a vaulted porch at its base. On the left, the corner tower, part of the neighboring property, is another witness to the former fortified enclosure. The heavy wooden door of the square tower, wide enough for a carriage and punctuated by a pedestrian door, provides access to the house. Above, a broken arch precedes another, semi-circular arch, lit by an old lantern. The tower overlooks the dwelling, whose façade is made of plastered stone with two levels of elevation, under the almost flat roof of canal tiles. The main entrance is through a door equipped with a so-called 'fly' screen flanked by two windows topped by two others, staggered. Partially and temporarily habitable during the planned renovation work (structural work and finishing work), the house covers an area of about 110 m², to which the future purchaser can add more than 70 m² occupied by the attics. A courtyard of about 60 m² and a terrace of nearly 30 m² add the enjoyment of outdoor living in a very favorable climate throughout the year.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Private mansion with garden Valognes (50)
An elegant 16th and 18th-century private mansion, its outbuildings, courtyard and tree-filled garden, in Valognes on the Cotentin peninsula. Set back from the street, the property faces a wide courtyard, accessible via an impressive solid iron electric swing gate. As for the edifice, its front door is placed in the middle of its façade, whereas the former outbuildings, with their own entrances, are placed at right angles on either side of the courtyard. Behind, the dwelling’s western exterior faces a pleasant tree-filled garden, while, set within one of the property’s tall walls, wooden double doors provide a side entrance accessible from a tree-filled chase. Built in the late 16th century, when Valognes was torn between the partisans of the Holy League and the Carentan Protestants who were laying siege to the town, this stately private mansion is made up of a central main dwelling flanked by two right-angle wings that close off the cobblestone courtyard. To the southeast, an archway opens onto a small annexe courtyard where two outbuildings are located, one of which is crowned with a corbelled pepperpot tower, and, directly opposite, two arrow slits in one of the central building’s walls still bear witness to this chaotic period of upheaval. As for the dwelling’s initial appearance, it was altered in the 18th century in order to accommodate a noble family. Partially constructed out of rubble stone and topped with a hipped roof punctuated by three dormer windows, the dwelling is also built out of 'Valognes' stone, a sandy limestone that is both easy to manipulate and includes a large quantity of fossils. On either side, the four-storey main building, including an attic level, is cadenced by many wide casement windows, whereas, on the garden side, they overlook an immense conservatory, which is used as a winter garden or a summer dining room. To the west, facing the garden and adjacent to the conservatory, a small masonry structure, topped with a single-pitch roof and one window, contains the house’s staircase, while, to the south, a patio provides breath-taking views of the city’s rooftops.

House with garden and terrace Lonlay-l'Abbaye (61)
A 19th century renovated and reinvented farmhouse with a 4 200 m² garden planted with trees, in the north of the Domfrontais region in Orne. The property appears at the bend in an ancient road which is barely more than a small country lane. Situated in the centre of a hamlet, it is made up of an old farmhouse dating back to the 1830s, set against the hillside and surrounded by farm buildings which are scattered throughout the grounds. Sloping gently to the south, the development stretches out on either side of the road. The main plot is accessed from the west, through a courtyard overlooking the façade of the former farmhouse. Over the years, this authentic little farmhouse in the Orne countryside has been transformed into an original ensemble. Several extensions have been added by successive occupants, without ever breaking with the proportions and aesthetics of the pre-existing building. The façade has a slate gable roof and three windows to the south. The west gable is crowned by a chimney stump and pierced by small windows. To the east, the original building is flanked by a tower and several additions with single-pitch roofs. The first is a garage to the east of the farmhouse and in front of the tower. The second, adjoining the first, is a small lean-to. The third, with a slate roof, is attached to the east of the farmhouse. The entrance door is preceded by a glazed porch. A wooden terrace extends from the large window. Lined with black shutters, the windows are fitted with rounded red joinery. To the south, the garden includes a vegetable patch and extensive tree-lined lawns. A storeroom and garage, a barn, an open-sided shelter, a woodstore and a workshop are dotted around the property, in keeping with the local tradition of having a building for each particular use.

Mill L'Isle-Adam (95)
An 18th-century stone watermill that could be a family home or a second home, nestled in a bucolic backdrop in France’s beautiful Vexin area, 35 minutes from Paris. Once you have gone through the gate, a hedge-lined drive leads up to the edifice of pale ashlar. The building faces the garden, spanning its breadth. The house has a basement, a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. With its gabled roof of flat tiles and its evenly spaced windows, it stands out as a strong, plain structure. On one side of it, the River Sausseron flows gently to a lock that is still in working order and that bears witness to the watermill’s past. This watermill was built in the 18th century. At the time, it was one of the region’s most efficient mills thanks to its large-diameter water wheel, turned by a diversion of the river than runs through the grounds of a neighbouring chateau. The building was converted in 1906 to become a metalwork plant. Later, it was turned into a house with spacious rooms and thick walls. Today, it offers 450m² of living space. The dual-aspect entrance hall connects to a 50m² kitchen and a 120m² lounge, bathed in natural light from many windows that look out at the garden. On the first floor, there are three bedrooms, an open office, two bathrooms and a utility room. They form a comfortable, practical space. On the second floor, in the roof, there are two other bedrooms, as well as a bathroom, a small room and around 150m² of convertible loft space. A basement and a large garage complete the building. The garden extends behind the house and in front of it. This outdoor space is made up of lawns, old trees and natural hedges.

House with pool and garden Barbizon (77)
A vast estate with an elegant country house, gîtes, a private stable and 3.6 hectares of grounds, nestled 55 kilometres south-east of Paris, near the town of Barbizon and Fontainebleau forest. Near Barbizon, 55 kilometres south-east of Paris, a wrought-iron gate leads onto a sandstone-paved driveway lined with linden trees. The house then comes into view, standing proudly in its grounds that are entirely enclosed and cover 3.6 hectares. The elegant dwelling is hidden behind cedars, poplars and cherry trees. It has a mansard roof and neoclassical traits. Its ashlar elevations display symmetry, with eight north-facing bays and seven south-facing bays. Along the roof, there is a series of small-paned arched dormers. A roof lantern, which is typical of this style of construction, crowns the house. The entrance door is made of finely sculpted wood. It stands beneath a stone pediment. The estate offers spacious guestrooms for tourists. A terrace covering more than 200m² looks southwards at one hectare of parkland. There are three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms on the ground floor and two spacious bedrooms on the first floor. In the semi-basement, there is an old relaxation space with a swimming pool, a jacuzzi and a terrace. The house is entirely liveable, yet it requires special attention for maintenance and some parts need to be renovated. A caretaker’s house is set back from the entrance gate. It looks out at neighbouring meadows where racing horses graze. Indeed, equestrianism feels omnipresent here. At the end of the estate, there are horse-riding structures: a stable with 11 looseboxes, a covered riding school and a riding arena with a fibre-sand surface that covers 3,000m². They could be separated. And more than 2,300m² of land that can be built upon edges the estate along roughly 40 linear metres of the road. The estate is both bucolic and well-structured. It forms a peaceful backdrop, just stone’s throw from Fontainebleau forest.

House Fontainebleau (77)
A 15th-century tithe barn and its 19th-century distillery, 10 kilometres north of Fontainebleau and 55 kilometres south of Paris. Only ten kilometres from Fontainebleau, the distillery, thanks to its location, environment and architecture, acts as a genuine link between country and city life. Located on a fertile plain where a few grazing horses provide a bucolic touch, it is bordered on one side by market garden fields, whereas, on the other side of the building, protected majestic trees, filtering the morning light, create a warm and intimate atmosphere around the stone constructions. Built out of buhrstone in the 19th century, the distillery, which contains four storeys of approximately 100 m² each, is inundated by light thanks to its large rectilinear windows, while from the building’s upper floor, the view extends over farmland, which provides a shimmering spectacle at sunset. Adjacent to the distillery and the seigniorial farm known as the 'Fromagerie' or 'Dairy', built in the 15th and 16th centuries, the 260-m² barn with traditional wooden rafters and king post trusses, is 26 metres in length and has a floor-to-roof-ridge height of 10 metres, which makes it possible to create several additional levels here. Facing the distillery, the 125-m² loading dock with its metal structure and stone foundation, represents the last edifice on the property. In addition, the property is located in a Ubb1 area zoned for building, making it possible to come up with a variety of conversion projects for the three edifices already existing on the land registry. With all necessary utilities, such as water, electricity and gas in each of the buildings, the distillery’s roof, clad in local tiles, was redone in 2017, the ancient plaster on its courtyard-facing exteriors was removed and four floors were created with pockets for drainage and electrical purposes. Recognised as 'remarkable', this property’s industrial buildings represent considerable historical interest for both the town and the surrounding area.
