    Castle Pontevedra (Spain)

    In Pontevedra, a 17th-century stately palace with Galician roots and a garden of around 1.4 hectares. 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. Inside, the patinated wooden coffered ceilings interact with the fireplace adorned with carved coats of arms, the blue azulejos and the antique bookcases. The property, which once housed Alfonso XIII's Council of Ministers, still bears the imprint of the important political decisions that were taken here. 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.

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.

    Listed 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 with garden and terrace 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.

On the side, a large gateway, decorated with protruding quoins, opens into a paved courtyard that borders the rear facade and a stairway tower. Two stairways provide access to a garden laid out on a higher level than the house. A double garage can be reached via an adjacent street.
