    House with pool Boulogne-sur-Gesse (31)

    An events venue estate, with three buildings on 12 hectares of land, nestled within the Comminges region in the Haute-Garonne department, approximately one hour from Toulouse. The building complex, restored according to standard practices and around which the estate is organised, was built over the course of two centuries: the first three buildings date from the 18th century, whereas the manor house, overlooking the whole, was built in the 19th century. Accessible via a lane that runs alongside verdant pastureland, the property’s first building, visible at the end of the lane, is a large reception hall. To the left is the main dwelling, which includes the family home, followed by the swimming pool – hidden by the walls of an old edifice, which is now roofless over two-thirds of its surface area – as well as, at a right angle, three holiday cottages and a flat. On the other side of the lane, the former wine storehouse houses a reception hall as well as two living rooms and five bedrooms upstairs, while an immense bedroom, reserved for people with reduced mobility, is located opposite the reception hall. Lastly, the manor house, overlooking the whole, is accessible via a drive that winds its way through the property’s woods. With either pointed or plaster-coated stone walls, all the buildings have drop-arch or rectilinear windows and doors with brick surrounds as well as gable roofs covered in either regular, barrel or interlocking tiles.

    House Bernay (27)

    In Normandy, between the Orne and Eure departments, in the pays d’Ouche, a refurbished former barn and its pasture surrounded by woodland. In the 1960s, trees were cleared away from the centre of the woods to build a barn, which, up until then, was located about 30 km away, on the Neubourg plateau. After meticulously numbering each beam, the barn was dismantled, brought here and then rebuilt piece by piece in the middle of the woods. Over the years, the woods have been cleared away on its southern side, towards the pasture, with the objective of providing the site with more depth and light. The property is entirely enclosed; it can be accessed from the woods via a wide barrier reserved for tall vehicles as well as the main entrance gate. The woods around the house reach approximately 20 metres to the east, 35 metres to the north and west and 25 metres to the south, beyond the 3,345-m² pasture bordered on the east by a field and on the west by another pasture. A second building was annexed at a right angle to the original rectangular barn in the 1980s.

    Private mansion Saint-Malo (35)

    A 19th century ship-owner’s manor house with walled grounds, near Saint-Malo, close to the beaches and shops in Saint-Servan. The house stands at a crossroads of several streets. The main entrance, slightly set back from the street, is via an imposing wooden gate with a curved top, framed by granite pillars flanked with guard stones, opening into an inner courtyard. The garden is tucked away behind high stone walls that enclose the rear of the property. It originally had a larger garden. The house, which has remained in the same family since its construction, was built at the beginning of the 18th century for a seafaring family of the Compagnie des Indes, with links to Isle de France, now known as Mauritius. The south-facing edifice has three storeys one of which is in the attic space. The main façade has three vertical rows of openings. The elevations are made of rough-hewn blocks of granite, while the window and door frames are made of dressed granite blocks. The slate hipped roof has three dormer windows topped with pediments and is flanked at each end by two tall chimney stacks, while two smaller chimney stacks stand in the centre. The roof guttering is inserted in a wooden cornice. To the rear, a semi-circular conservatory is topped by a slate roof. To the southeast, at a right angle to the main building and standing against a neighbouring edifice, there is a brick and rubble stone outbuilding topped with a slate roof. Part of it is used for storage and another part has been converted into living space.

    House Vegadeo (Spain)

    40 minutes from Oviedo, in western Asturias, between mountainous terrain and coastline, an 18th-century fortified .... In the heart of the Asturian meadows, an imposing 18th century manor house. If ever there was a residence where history still resonates, this is it. Once you've crossed the main courtyard and stepped over the stone walls, you'll discover authentic architecture. Spaces are divided over three levels to ensure a fluid flow of movement and a certain autonomy for each occupant, favouring a main residential part and the creation of reception activities in the outbuildings. The mural frescoes, monumental lareira and wooden floors bear witness to an art of living preserved between the Cantabrian mountains and the Atlantic coast.

    Castle Castelnaud-la-Chapelle (24)

    A chateau from the late 17th century, with breath-taking views, outbuildings and 38 hectares of wooded hills and pastures in the Périgord Noir region. The site, absolutely magnificent, is one of these numerous Périgord plateaus sandwiched within a complicated network of large and small valleys with abrupt edges and spectacular views, surrounded on all sides by a landscape practically devoid of all human occupation. Comparable to that of a horseshoe, with its curves corresponding to the property’s north and northwest slopes and the central part to the estate’s cultivated plateaus, the site’s topography culminates at an average of about 200 metres in altitude with an elevation gain of approximately 20 metres, guaranteeing awe-inspiring views of the surrounding woods, hills and meadows. Divided up in the 1970s, the property has, nevertheless, preserved 38 of its original 104 hectares. Remarkably conserved thanks to careful replanting, these spaces underscore this site’s singular value, which still succeeds in offering a meaningful testimony to the splendour of these great estates of yesteryear. Founded in 1571, as indicated in the archives, and passed down from the Lord of Roufflilhac to various bourgeois and local notables, the “noble dwelling”, more commonly known as “the chateau”, and its outbuildings were built during the late 17th century over the vestiges of a medieval dwelling destroyed during the French Wars of Religion. Although possessing the essential Périgord architectural characteristics from the late 17th century, it was reorganised in the 18th and 19th centuries, when it was acquired by the Pontou family, who would go on to keep the property in their possession for more than 100 years. Today, the property includes the chateau, the 'Old House', a former tenant farm now used as a guesthouse, a caretaker’s cottage and former stables partially converted into accommodations, the whole forming a kind of hamlet. In addition, a completely restored dovecote with a stone slate roof, a tennis court and an immense infinity swimming pool are scattered throughout the grounds, the water for which is supplied by the property’s own natural spring located below the main dwelling along with a washhouse and basin. The result? One of the most beautiful properties in Dordogne – the authenticity of which has been carefully conserved – providing breath-taking views of the surrounding Unesco Word Heritage-protected landscape.

    House with pool Condom (32)

    A 15th-century, remarkably restored chateau and its outbuildings on 5-hectare grounds, near a former Episcopal city, between Bordeaux and Toulouse, in the Gers department. The 5-hectare property is accessible via a small country road that weaves its way through fields, vineyards and copses. Two gravel drives then provide access to the property, which is sheltered from view thanks to the vegetation hiding it from the road. On grounds planted with many veteran trees, the buildings are situated around a square courtyard at the top of the hill, which provides unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside. The property, facing south and the Pyrenees Mountains, overlooks a bucolic valley traversed by a peaceful river. To the southwest of the main dwelling, a swimming pool stretches out below a 160-m² patio, safeguarded by stone balusters, while a double staircase descends towards the vast lawns. Rectangular in shape, the chateau has two floors as well as a basement level and convertible attic space. Cadenced by many tall arched windows, which bathe the interior in light, the chateau’s façades are a testament to the more recent refurbishments that the former 13th-century manor, destroyed during the war against the English, has undergone. The buildings and their roofs, which intermesh with one another in order to form a quadrilateral, are made out of lime-pointed rubble stone and highlighted by a double row of genoise corbels, while the house’s wide stone front steps, which frame the double-door entrance, the tall carriage door opening onto the former court of honour to the north, as well as the former keep, today topped with slender finials, recall the attention and care paid to the major constructions undertaken by lords and barons from this time period, which in this case were Armadon de Montesquieu, followed by the barons de la Sudrie. In addition, its joinery and shutters painted in an elegant grey-green emphasise the aesthetic unity of the premises and confer the property with an undeniable charm.

A 17th-century patrician residence that epitomises noble Galician architecture, with its ashlar tower crowned with battlements and its courtyard planted with ivy and wisteria.

Its location in the heart of Pontevedra means that it can be used in a variety of ways: as a prestigious residence, a cultural centre or a hotel. A rare opportunity to invest in a place where family history is intertwined with that of the country.

    Castle Beaune (21)

    The vestiges of the 18th-century Chateau de Cussigny, a regional historical monument, surrounded by its outbuildings and 7-hectare grounds along the banks of a river, near Beaune in Burgundy. Secluded from the nearby village, the chateau and its outbuildings are protected from all disturbances, while the small country roads that provide access to the property traverse the neighbouring fields before reaching a straight lane bordered by tall trees as it gets closer to the grounds. With only the edifices’ flat, small tile roofs visible on the left, the property has cloaked its ruined historical vestiges in abundant vegetation as it awaits its next owners to provide it with a new lease on life. An initial square courtyard accessible via a narrow, covered carriage entrance, forms an immense grassy esplanade bordered by a number of outbuildings, whereas, further on, an understated iron gate, framed by stone pillars, provides glimpses, through the tall branches of the property’s beech trees, of an outbuilding on the left as well as the remnants of the 18th-century chateau’s exteriors, today a jumble of burned out beams and the only remaining vestiges of the chateau after it was ravaged by a fire. Continuing on from here, the caretaker’s cottage, rather inconspicuous, is located along the northern side of the lane, while moats surround and encircle the property on all sides. As for the meandering Courtavaux River, it borders the grounds along their northern edge.

    House Niort (79)

    The sober chapel of the former Niort Carmelite convent, a haven of calm and serenity very close to the centre, overlooking the town . The chapel owes its proud appearance to its height - it seems to spring from the ground - and its pure dressed stonework. Projecting buttresses line the facade and punctuate the bays on the outside. The openings are round-headed, and a rose window crowns the portal facing the street. By using the Romanesque architectural style, the 19th century builders opted for sobriety, in keeping with the religious congregation for which they worked. The interior is striking for its sheer size, which seems to exceed a floor area of 352 m² and a height of 14 m at the crossing. The interior also exudes an immediate sense of peace of mind. The limestone slab-paved floor rises slightly towards the raised choir. Barrel vaults separate the three bays of the nave, once you have passed through a sort of narrow narthex under the gallery alongside the facade. The transept is short, with a semi-dome apse. The stained glass windows are still in place, most of them in good condition. The slate roof was redone after the storm of 1999, and the interior was thoroughly cleaned in 2005, resulting in a much brighter appearance.

    House Saint-Gein (40)

    A belle époque villa with nine hectares of grounds, a 13th-century chapel and many outhouses in south-west France, 20 minutes from the city of Mont-de-Marsan. The property is situated on the edge of the village, in parklands enclosed by low walls and dotted with a few trees. It comprises a number of buildings, including two main edifices: In the centre of the parklands, a Belle Époque residence, surrounded by a formerly gravelled esplanade, faces a high wrought iron entrance gate. 50 m to the south of the main residence, there is a 13th century chapel. There are also two distinct clusters of buildings, made up of numerous outhouses that formerly served agricultural purposes. The first, to the north, is long and comprises a flat, an orangery, a winery, a dovecote and garages, accessed via a second entrance to the street and its service gate. Around thirty metres further on, the second building, the so-called 'small farm', forms a double U shape. Finally, two other modest constructions are set between the main building and its annexes. The grounds of 9 hectares, in a single lot, are bounded to the south by a local road that forms an angle with a street running northwards along the property and through the village. Meadows and old, untamed woodlands complete the green expanse.

    Castle Angers (49)

    A remarkable listed castle with its chapel, outbuildings and 70 hectares of grounds bordering a river in Anjou . All the buildings are grouped together in the centre of the undivided estate, at the end of a driveway that extends for almost 400 m under a canopy of bicentennial plane trees. It leads to a stone bridge across the moat and on to a gatehouse with four-pitched roof, marking the entrance to the fortress. You then have to pass through a carriage gate, once protected by a portcullis and a drawbridge, or through a small pedestrian gate on one side, to discover the castle's main courtyard, where the central lawn is adorned with sixteen box topiaries. At the back, the main section of the dwelling is flanked by a wing set at right angles. On the other side stands a chapel. To the south, there is a garden of almost 1 ha, criss-crossed by paths and planted with numerous fruit trees. It also includes a fishpond, which is thought to have once been a 'longue paume' (long tennis) ground. To the north, a former farmyard is bordered by outbuildings that originally served as a defensive enclosure. It has been converted into a garden with a central fountain. The complex is surrounded by a moat filled with water. The property is traversed by numerous tracks providing access to the woods, river and meadows. In a single lot, it is bordered on one of its four sides by a navigable river. The grounds comprise parkland, orchards and moats (4 ha), alleys (2.8 ha), a pond (0.9 ha), open meadows (48 ha) undergoing reforestation - 4,500 trees were planted in 2007, woodland (11.6 ha) including oak, pine and poplar trees, and tenanted farmland (3.7 ha). The castle and its surrounding buildings, the moat, the gardens and most of the surrounding avenues are all listed. The slate roofs either have two or four pitches or are pepperpot-shaped; the walls are of rendered or pointed rubble masonry; the facade and roof openings are mostly rectilinear, some with mullions, some are arched.

    House Sens (89)

    In a Burgundy village, only a little over an hour outside of Paris, a cluster of houses and outbuildings surrounded by a bucolic garden. On a quiet village street, a large wooden gate flanked by two stone pillars and its adjacent pedestrian door open onto a property, which, entirely enclosed, is sheltered from outside noise and prying eyes. A gravel area has enough room to park several vehicles. The pathway leads to two houses and an extensive garden. On one side, topped with a Burgundy-tile gable roof with three hipped dormer windows, one of which is protected by a guardrail, the main two-storey rubble masonry house is adorned with exterior brick window surrounds, while large small-paned windows bathe its interior with light. With an inhabitable surface area of approximately 150 m², the house is flanked by a former bread oven, which repeats the same ornamental features as the house. A more recent extension extends the living room towards the garden onto which large picture windows look out. A stone patio surrounds the building, while an external stone staircase leads to a vaulted cellar. On the other side, facing the main house, the two-storey guesthouse mirrors the same architectural characteristics: a Burgundy-tile gable roof with one hipped dormer window. With its wisteria-festooned façade and exterior patio, the guesthouse has a total surface area of approximately 100 m². Located past the guesthouse are various outbuildings, while in the midst of all the buildings is a carefully groomed, 2,000-m² garden with different landscaped areas.
