    House Ciutadella de Menorca (Spain)

    Just a few minutes from Ciutadella, a rural estate of about 5 hectares, featuring traditional Menorcan farm buildings. In 1558, an Ottoman fleet besieged Ciutadella for eight days before completely plundering it, deporting nearly four thousand inhabitants to Constantinople. The island, long exposed, had to relearn how to live differently—by retreating inland, far from the coastline, which was all too visible from the sea. This estate still seems to bear the memory of that retreat, so far from everything that no road disturbs it. A dry-stone hut, a threshing floor, a safareig for storing water: each structure belongs to this rural Menorca that eventually flourished far from the ramparts, in a discretion that, over time, became its best protection.

    Villa El Cuchillo (Spain)

    In El Cuchillo, a renovated Canarian house of about 186 m² on approximately 10,000 m² of land, located in a former volcanic crater. Between 1730 and 1736, the earth split open here for six consecutive years, engulfing entire villages in lava. A priest from the neighboring parish recorded, night after night, what he saw from a hill: flames that never went out, ground that never stopped trembling. From this catastrophe arose the black soil that, even today, retains moisture better than any other and allows crops to grow with almost no rain. El Cuchillo takes its name from this very geology, nestled in an ancient crater with still-sharp ridges. It is within this landscape—shaped by fire long before it was inhabited—that a traditional Canarian-style home stands, discreetly situated between the black rock and the horizon.

    Villa with pool and garden Portalegre (Portugal)

Alegrete has a castle. It’s medieval, it overlooks the plain, and from the terrace of this house, it hasn’t changed in centuries. Between them lie 25 hectares that the Serra de São Mamede has shaped in its own way: vineyards that have been growing without water since 2022, cork oaks that no one planted, olive trees, and an orange grove at the center of which a spring has always fed a basin that has become a swimming pool. The house is rustic, understated, and unpretentious. It does not comment on the landscape. It inhabits it.

    House Ciutadella de Menorca (Spain)

    In the heart of Ciutadella’s historic center, a traditional house of approximately 202 m² in need of renovation. White. Everywhere. The facades of Ciutadella have always been white—not out of taste, but out of necessity. The lime reflected light, kept the heat at bay, and disinfected the walls. One coat, then another, every year, until the act became a tradition in itself. This house bears that same white. Inside, six rooms waiting to be reinvented, spread across several levels. And this patio—a rarity here—that opens up to the sky amid the stonework. Nothing to preserve out of nostalgia. Everything to be reimagined, in your own way.

    Contemporary apartment Paris 6ᵗʰ (75)

    A 42-m² furnished apartment on Rue de Sèvres in the 6th arrondissement that has been renovated in a modern style. The building is part of a residential complex stretching between Rue de Sèvres and Rue Cherche-Midi. It is made up of a series of vegetation-filled courtyards and low-rise buildings, which are remnants of a time when craftspeople and their small workshops rubbed shoulders with homeowners. The apartment is located on the first of the two storeys that make up the 19th-century edifice. Its entrance opens directly into a west-facing living room, boasting a wall with exposed stonework, giving the place a touch of authenticity. The living room is bathed in light through two large windows and includes a lounge space marked out by the presence of a superior quality grey sofa. It is followed by a dining area set around a table that is emblematic of designer furniture, namely the Tulip model by Eero Saarinen, manufactured by Knoll. Next comes an open-plan, fully fitted kitchen. The bedroom is separated from the rest of the apartment by a structure made up of intertwined, white-painted beams. A minimalist style and modern shower room with walls made up of large, grey, veined marble tiles is adjacent to the bedroom. Latest generation electric radiators provide the heating for the apartment.

    House with pool and garden Cabasse (83)

    A country house with views of the surrounding countryside and a guest house, in a peaceful setting, on 3.5 hectares in Cabasse in Provence Verte. Set on a hillside, the property is reached via a forest track that winds its way beneath a high canopy of Aleppo pines. Set amidst the majestic natural landscape of the Var, the house overlooks a garden laid out in successive terraces and supported by sturdy dry-stone walls, where olive trees, cypresses and fruit trees thrive. A car park to the north can accommodate four or five vehicles. The building, whose facades are a soft sandy colour and whose gabled roof features the traditional colour of its barrel tiles, blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. Its wooden shutters, painted in lavender blue, lend a touch of Provençal freshness to the geometric austerity of the surroundings. The two-storey building comprises two adjoining wings, which form the main house and the guest house respectively. The latter is currently used to accommodate friends. The two properties, both mainly facing south, have a combined floor area of nearly 165 m² and comprise six bedrooms and two shower rooms; each also features a living room combined with a kitchen. On the ground floor of the main house, a spacious paved terrace, shaded by a barrel-tiled canopy and adorned with a fledgling arbour, is the perfect spot for long lunches out of the sun. Upstairs, the French windows open onto long, wrought-iron balconies, which also face south, whilst a wooden pergola spans a second terrace, suspended at the front of the guest house, offering a superb view of the forest. A small stone outbuilding, set back from the main dwellings and intended for practical use, discreetly complements the complex of buildings. Finally, further down, a swimming pool and its surrounding area blend into the landscape, following the contours of the land.

    House with garden and terrace Briare (45)

    A converted former wine estate within 1.8 hectares of grounds overlooking the vineyards in the Petite Sologne region, 1.5 hours from Paris. The approach to the property is flanked by extensive woodlands, ponds and vineyards. The estate, situated on a gentle hill, overlooks the vineyards. Three separate entrances, marked by double gates, lead to the main house, the grounds and the outbuildings. A driveway climbs gradually towards the houses through the well-tended grounds, planted with tall trees of various species and colours, revealing a few resting areas with seating and ornaments, vases and stone statues. The main house is flanked by a stone terrace on its north facade. Small brick walls border the flowerbeds. There is an old ice house near the wine cellar, hidden beneath the vegetation. A charming spot offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Several outdoor areas, paved with stone slabs, allow you to fully enjoy the surroundings.

    Contemporary house with garden Bayeux (14)

    A country estate with a dwelling, outbuildings and a garden, 10 minutes from Bayeux in the Seulles River valley and the greater Bessin region. Once part of the Chateau de Vaux estate, built in the 17th century, the property, which, at the time, was in charge of producing food for the seigneury, includes former service quarters and a farm, perched on the peaceful banks of the Seulles River. Laid out around an immense square courtyard and extended by outbuildings built out of Bessin limestone, the edifices have preserved the precision of local architecture, while, the exteriors, featuring blonde rubblestone and ashlar stone window/door surrounds, are topped with slate roofs. As for the former farm buildings – stables, barns with visible rafters, a cart-shed – they recall the estate’s agricultural past and provide additional, convertible volumes, whereas, in the back, the garden, fully landscaped in 2012, boasts three natural springs.

    House with garden Saint-Servant (56)

    A 19th-century, renovated, granite farmhouse with one-hectare grounds, nestled in a peaceful hamlet, 40 minutes to the northeast of Vannes. Built along a curve in the road, at the entrance to a hamlet and facing southeast, the farmhouse is made up of a main façade preceded by a small grassy area where several varieties of shrubs grow, such as hydrangeas, common myrtle and thujas, while a gravel car park, bordered on one side by the dwelling’s western gable end, provides access to both the farmhouse’s front door as well as the grounds. As for the granite rubblestone dwelling, with ashlar stone quoins and windows, its main entrance is topped with a lintel inscribed with the date 1813, whereas the lintel over a second door is decorated with an inflexed arch. With a ground floor and a first floor, which has been divided into two separate sections, the dwelling’s rear exterior is punctuated with a sliding glass door that opens on to the garden and the rest of the property’s grounds. In addition, the slate gable roof, whose tiles are secured with stainless steel hooks, feature four shed dormers on the roof’s northern side, as well as a row of ridge tiles, which are framed on either end by stone chimneys.

    House with garden and terrace Saint-Martin-d'Hardinghem (62)

    Medieval castle in Hauts-de-France. The Château d’Hervarre brings together several centuries of architecture around its imposing circular limestone tower, the origins of which date back to the 16th century. The significant medieval presence is complemented by a classical-style main building, erected in the 18th century and then remodeled in the 19th century. The lordship was acquired in 1727 by Jacques-François Macau, pensionary advisor and later lieutenant general in the bailiwick of Saint-Omer. The main building is believed to have been constructed around 1750 at his initiative; a carved stone once attested to its origin by recalling his name and titles. A new round of works likely took place around 1787, before a more substantial restoration in the 19th century. The ensemble has preserved many elements from successive eras, which are evident in the volumes, materials, and layouts. The property, enclosed by walls, is crossed by the stream that descends from the Aa before joining the water body of the estate and its various parts.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Ensconced in a bucolic setting, the property includes three dwellings, several outbuildings, a millrun, a pond and a swimming pool. As for the manor house, built in 1912, it is currently operated as a bed & breakfast, while the former mill from 1864, fully refurbished in its own right, has now become the owners’ private residence. In addition, a small farmhouse awaits its turn to be renovated, whereas the outbuildings include a dovecote and a former wine storehouse, the latter of which, featuring approximately 120 m² of floor area as well as sturdy wooden rafters, could be transformed into an event space.

    House with garden and terrace Dinan (22)

    A renovated four-storey dwelling, with a terrace and an outbuilding, in Dinan’s historic centre. Among the historic centre’s ancient edifices, the building, located near Duclos Square and the Clocktower, dates back to the 15th century and combines rubblestone with ashlar granite as well as timber framing on its upper section. Built over a cellar, with a shop on the ground floor, the dwelling includes three square storeys and a converted attic level, while its long gable roof is covered in slate and topped with a raised roof ridge. In addition, each side of the roof is punctuated by a central dormer and skylights, whereas the exterior stands out thanks to its well-preserved appearance with its solid wood posts and wall plates separated by plaster-coated filler. As for the different, slightly corbelled, levels they are cadenced by windows placed between the framework’s bays, while, in the back, a terrace, facing south and looking out over the neighbouring rooftops and the Clocktower, is extended by a small two-storey cottage, built out of rubblestone and ashlar granite, the interior of which will need to be renovated.

    Castle Lectoure (32)

    An elegant 19th-century house with a pool, outbuildings and 7.5 hectares of grounds, five minutes from a vibrant, picturesque town in the Lomagne area of south-west France. A track leading to the property leaves a small country road on the hillside. A discreet spring covered with stones marks the entrance to the grounds. The chateau’s facade appears at the end of a drive shaded by tall, old trees. The edifice enjoys absolute privacy and calm. It looks out over a valley, in isolation from the rest of the world. You can admire several stunning vistas from the property. These views stretch to the town of Lectoure, perched on its rocky outcrop. The chateau is built on a large gravel terrace with a round ornamental stone pond. The building is rectangular and has an adjoining tower in the middle of its west elevation. It has four flours that can be seen from its east side, lower down. The top floor is a loft space. The edifice offers a liveable floor area of around 800m², spread between the ground floor and the first floor, which can be seen from the south driveway. The chateau was built in 1805. It is made of dressed stone, rendered with a beige lime coating. Its facade reflects the architectural traits of its era: 14 rectangular openings are arranged symmetrically around a central bay that stands out for its dressed stone and its double door that forms the main entrance. The quoins, cornices and door and window surrounds are made of exposed dressed stone. The building is crowned with a zinc and slate mansard roof with hipped ends, punctuated with three bull’s-eye windows on its south side, three on its north side, one on its east side and another one on its west side. The grounds are dotted with age-old trees and vast clearings. This wonderful outdoor space includes an isolated swimming pool, a dovecote, an old washing place and an Italian-style garden. The style of this Italian garden goes well with the chateau’s north elevation and brings out its elegance. At a lower level, there are two large rectangular outbuildings made of rubble stone. They face each other and can be reached via a separate drive on one side.

    Property with garden Milly-la-Forêt (91)

    In Milly-la-Forêt, 50 km south of Paris, a fully renovated manor house, with a separate apartment and a walled garden. This house, which previously belonged to several of the town’s people of note, was built in 1865 on a 665-m² plot and boasts all the attributes of a bourgeois home: cornerstones, a balcony with wrought-iron guard-rail, painted tiles above the windows, moulded cornices and belt courses, etc. The edifice is oriented east to west, opens onto the street as well as a tree-lined square and is not overlooked by neighbours. The three-storey property, one of which is in the recently converted attic, is made up of an approximately 300-m² main house, a covered garage and an adjoining, also recently renovated, three-room apartment with a separate entrance. To the rear, there is a stone-walled garden in which a hazelnut tree provides shade. On the side facing the street, beneath the tiled, gabled roof, the house boasts a pale pink façade. Below a balcony with a wrought-iron guard-rail, the entrance is framed with moulding and millstone on the ground floor. At the top of two steps, the double-leaf wooden door is half-glazed, protected by ironwork decorations, and is topped by fanlight windows. The tall windows are indicative of the impressive interior volumes. A solid wood carriage door leads into a covered garage, with capacity for one vehicle, as well as a workshop. Above, a door opens into the lounge of the separate apartment, recently converted into a split-level home, with its own entrance from the street. On the garden side, the light grey coloured residence is punctuated by four vertically aligned rows of windows with wooden louvred shutters and a French window leading to the garden on the ground floor. Another, more modern window above the garage, with a skylight on the level above, indicates where the dual-aspect apartment is. A granite patio looks onto the approximately 500-m² lawned garden.

    House with garden Gallardon (28)

    A listed MH residence with a garden, cellars, and garage. Known as the "Fief des Marmousets", the residence is located on a plot that runs between the street and the garden, above a set of medieval vaulted cellars spread over three levels. Its façade with carved timber frames constitutes a remarkable testimony to the decorative fantasy and technical mastery of woodworkers in the early 16th century. The presence of portraits of François Ier and Claude of France, as well as their respective emblems, the salamander and the swan, supports the hypothesis of a link with the craftsmen who worked on the decoration of the pavilions built for the Camp of the Drap d'Or. Inside, the organization of the spaces is centered around a winding central staircase. Exposed beams, timber frames, old terracotta tiles, parquet floors, and colored diamond-shaped stained glass compose a unique decor that has been restored over the centuries. Raised over four levels, the house of about 400 m² includes a large reception room, a significant library and leisure room, four bedrooms, one of which is located in the loft extension, and two offices. Several major restoration campaigns have been carried out in recent decades under the supervision of the Buildings of France. At the back, an enclosed garden of about 400 m², oriented to the south and open to the roofs of Gallardon as well as to the valley, extends the living spaces. Opposite the property, an independent garage of nearly 65 m² allows for the parking of two vehicles.This description has been automatically translated from French.

    House with pool Alaior (Spain)

    In Alaior, a renovated country house on approximately 80 hectares of land on the island's southern coast. Here, nothing comes from elsewhere. Water rises from the well that has always supplied the estate. The land nourishes what it bears. Menorcan farms have lived this way for centuries, relying solely on their own resources, long before 'self-sufficiency' became a buzzword. Eighty hectares carry on this age-old way of life, on a scale that far exceeds that of a single property. The house stands there as a fixed point in a space that knows no visible boundaries.

    House with pool Ciutadella de Menorca (Spain)

    In Cala Morell, an architect-designed villa of approximately 272 m² on a lot of about 927 m², perched on a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean. It took the sea several millennia to sculpt the Roca de l’Elefant, that rock just a few steps away that erosion eventually shaped into the form of an animal. Nothing about this design was intentional: only the wind, the water, and time, working on the stone with no other intention than patience. The villa overlooks this very same work of art from its commanding vantage point. It does not seek to rival what nature has taken so long to create, but simply to harmonize with it—two stories open to the light and the sea, where every floor-to-ceiling window seems to have been designed so as not to miss a single moment of this slow, endless spectacle.

    House with pool Ciutadella de Menorca (Spain)

    Just a few minutes from Ciutadella, a rustic Menorcan home with two separate units and a view of the sea. On this coast, country houses have long gazed out at the sea without ever quite drawing near it, as if the caution of their ancestors had dictated their placement. This one is no exception: set back from the shore and facing inland, it finally opened up a view of the horizon the day the old porch, beneath the roof, was converted into a bedroom. Since then, the sea and the countryside have shared the same window. Downstairs, the vaulted ceilings have retained their original thickness—that of houses built to last longer than a single lifetime. More than half a century in the same family has given each generation time to add its own room, without ever taking anything away from the previous one.

    House with garden and terrace Menton (06)

    A villa with a sea view in the center of Menton. Set on a south-facing plot, the property follows the hillside, amidst abundant Mediterranean vegetation. A walking path winds between the trees and independently serves each of the two levels of the villa. Built in the 1920s, with a living area of over 200 m², it features traditional Italian-inspired architecture and is elevated on two similarly planned levels. Each level has its own entrance, preceded by a porch supported by two columns and extended by a terrace or balcony opening onto the sea or the mountains of the hinterland. The facades are pierced with high arched windows that either overlook wrought iron railings or balconies highlighted by molded balustrades. Stairs, alcoves, and supports have been directly carved into the rock, whose outcroppings extend to the top of the hill. The highly wooded grounds retain several old terraces, where a swimming pool could be built. Inside, several original elements have been preserved: cement or terracotta tiles with geometric or floral patterns, painted ceilings, or moldings around the light fixtures. On the lower level, two vast cellars are dug into the rock behind a retaining wall made of local stone. Access is also available by car to reach the house and park a vehicle.This description has been automatically translated from French.
