Castle Sainte-Luce-sur-Loire (44)
In the 18th century, the owner was Sieur Guyot, Clerk in charge of waters and forests of the mastership of Nantes. He was the one who built the current property. This land was a subdivision of that of Perier. Today, one can see a lovely porch and a Breton stone calvary at the entrance of the street. Through a majestic paved driveway, hidden at the back of the park classified as a protected natural area, we discover this residence that will bring a way of life for a family, offering spaces and intimate conviviality. Amidst various essences and groves, the building rises across three levels; façade frames are made of tuff. A terrace landing leads to the triangular pediment, the main entrance of the house. The entrance to the left leads to the kitchen and to the right, in a row, to a living room and the lounge. On the upper levels: very beautiful bedrooms and a photo studio. The rosettes, cornices, Hungarian point parquet floors, and broken stick oak, and limestone floors with cabochons testify to a past very well preserved by the current owners. One can highlight the existence of magnificent Directoire fireplaces that work perfectly. Outbuildings serve as a workshop, house the boiler, and allow for the storage of tools and other items. Adjacent to this outbuilding, a carport shelters a car. This haven of peace is located just 15 minutes from downtown Nantes.

Castle Agen (47)
Dating back to 1547, the Château has grown over the centuries according to the needs of the families who have had the joy of living here. Situated up on high, in a peaceful haven, the chateau looks down over neatly lawned gardens and woodland. Flanking the building from the rear is a prehistoric rockface; a feature of the landscape since time immemorial when dinosaurs roamed the land. The Chateau faces south, where between the branches of the trees and across the valley, modern life beckons from afar, with the distant outline of AGEN etched onto the horizon. This juxtaposition of bucolic splendour coupled with the proximity of city life creates much of the inherent magic of this property. The gardens, and landscape immediately around the property have conspired for centuries to provide an utterly idyllic and bucolic retreat from the world with the promise of urban life across the valley. It takes a moment to adjust one’s thoughts to the fact that the shops, cinemas, theatres, and schools of Agen are a short drive away. In layman’s terms, one can pop out and seek a baguette or bottle of wine in almost the same amount of time as it might take to walk to the tower at the far end of the garden and back again. The position, is in a word magnificent. Magnificent and unexpected. The word château can often be misleading. If “Chateau” conjures images of medieval drafts, and chill stone floors, then rest assured that none of the grace and beauty associated with a chateau has been sacrificed in the name of comfort, and yet this property is decidedly “comfortable”, modern and in full working order. For home-seekers who dream of living in aesthetically pleasing historical buildings you will not be disappointed. None of the restorations carried out have removed an iota of the château’s charm. A walk in the grounds throws up delightful views of this architectural beauty from every angle. In the grounds of the château it is easy to take a sumptuous photograph, because from every angle; be it in the garden, the pool, the chapel or the tower, the Château has a grace and elegance which is entirely photogenic. From the outside it is impossible to imagine the level of comfort within. Inside is a very different story. Stone walls, high ceilings, and characterful fireplaces can be found. But you will also find five star comfort and modernity. Look no further than the C grade rating on the energy efficiency scale. In part due to the thick walls, but also due to the current owners love of houses that “work” and where the management of a substantial building such as this one might be made as easy possible. Restored throughout the property was used as a luxury family home with chambres d’hôtes since 2011, ceasing its very successful business just a couple of years ago.

Castle Condom (32)
WHERE ARE WE? In Lot-et-Garonne, 20 kilometers from Nérac, but very close to Gers and its rolling landscapes since we are only 13 kilometers from Condom. It is a countryside dotted with quaint villages, vineyards, and varied crops. A small road climbs through fields and leads us to a sleepy village. Here, in this peaceful countryside, not far from a lake, emerge the ruins of a 13th-century castle, preserved in a glass case. These ruins, part of the old village castle, were restored by an architect who fell in love with the place over 10 years ago. Today, it is a loft and one of the most unusual properties we offer. Past the gate, we find ourselves in the garden, a completely enclosed 837m2 plot. To our left, the impressive façade majestically blending stone and glass, and to our right, the guest house. A terrace, lawn, and a cooling pool with a view to the west and its wooded horizon separate these two buildings. Inside the Loft Castle The ground floor, like the entire space, is bathed in light. The Italian stone flooring reflects the modern elements surrounding us. A spacious entrance with a wooden door on the right opens to the former dungeon of the castle, now a much more welcoming place as it serves as the wine cellar. Your Côtes de Gascogne (the regional appellation) or other prestigious bottles will find an ideal and chic storage place here. On our left, a white lacquered designer cabinet contains technical elements. Taking a few steps, we pass through a stone curtain and find ourselves in the heart of the loft. An open space 8 meters high, the first floor overlooks us. Small stone niches and mullioned windows let light flood the entire loft. A white spiral staircase with a light and elegant metal structure leads us upstairs, revealing an office space and a beautiful stone vault behind it. Immediately to the left, a door conceals wall-mounted toilets with indirect lighting, giving this often banal place a very elegant look. Returning to the center, an incredible living space welcomes us. We could sit on one of the black leather sofas, as if in a museum, and contemplate our surroundings: red, black, and white furniture transports us to a universe that could be Mondrian's. A large red lacquered five-door cabinet separates the living area from the kitchen. Made to measure by a local craftsman, it houses practical and aesthetic storage on both sides. Behind it, the black and white equipped kitchen also offers plenty of storage. The refrigerator: two large built-in stainless steel doors, steam oven, and stainless steel hood, all pure and sleek lines. Nothing disrupts our visual field; we remain in an artistic ambiance. You can cook under the light of a high stone window facing south. Don't fear the summer heat; the thick walls act as natural air conditioning, and the property is equipped with a heat pump providing both air conditioning and central and underfloor heating. The TV lounge is located opposite the kitchen. The architect and owner took care to structure this space by placing a large white lacquered cube, thus separating the two zones. This trick shelters a laundry room equipped with a washing machine, dryer, sink, and shelves. One of the electrical panels is also found here. At the center, hidden in the white cube, an Italian shower, practical for those who wish to set up a bedroom on the ground floor instead of the existing TV lounge. The First Floor, a U-shaped Mezzanine, Also Bathed in Light After taking the stairs, immediately to the right, a space currently used as a studio by the current owner, who, as you guessed, also has artistic talents. Then, access to a small stone terrace where the air/water heat pump is hidden. In front of us, protected by glass, the old medieval latrines. Turning left, we admire along the entire length, this 13th-century stone wall with the old castle's watchtower on its right. Today, it houses a modern white and red bathroom illuminated by three openings. We walk along this stone wall, wide enough to accommodate a huge red lacquered buffet, to arrive at what is now the sleeping area. In harmony with the ground floor, white lacquered cubes structure and delimit the spaces: the bedroom is open-plan, with a large Italian shower. The sinks naturally found their place in stone niches. THE GUEST HOUSE – ABOUT 114 m² Ideal for hosting friends or family. It can also serve as a guesthouse for those considering a small tourist activity. It has retained its exposed beams and stones, giving it the charm of the typical country houses one imagines and hopes to find in the southwest of France. On the ground floor, an equipped kitchen, a shower room, and the dining room, living room with a beautiful fireplace inviting relaxation and reading by the fire. All rooms benefit from double exposure and therefore beautiful brightness. French doors from the living room provide direct access to the garden. Upstairs, we arrive at a large landing with a transparent floor, overlooking the living room. Three bedrooms and an L-shaped balcony to enjoy the sun, the garden view, and the village square. The Garden and Terrace Of ideal size for low maintenance but allowing enjoyment of the outdoors. One can easily imagine having a cocktail with feet in the cooling pool and continuing with a Gascon meal on the beautiful terrace. A barbecue area to prepare duck skewers. A lean-to attached to the guest house to shelter tools and all the necessary gardening equipment. There is a well dating from 1673 equipped with a pump to water the entire garden.

Castle Saint-Sever (40)
This unique 17th Century Château, located at the end of its private driveway, surrounded by lush countryside, offers 550m² of accommodation, along with rustic French barns and a substantial loft space which could all be converted into more habitable space. The Château was originally built in 1680, and remained within the same French family for over 300 years. The property has been lovingly restored in recent years and benefits today from a central heating system, updated plumbing and modern electrics, along with elegantly decorated rooms. This country home is bursting with charm with its polished wood paneling, authentic oak floors, beautifully restored staircases and grand reception area. Every detail added to the property was thoughtfully put together. Even the corner stones of the main house were placed so that the building is perfectly aligned with the equinox. Having served as a family home for over 300 years, the property provides an elegant lifestyle with modern comforts in a stunning setting. Living accommodation comprises 5 reception rooms, 8 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 3 en-suites, a utility, and scullery. Alongside the main Château, you will find « La Pigeonnaire », a charming 2 bedroom guardian’s cottage which currently serves as an idyllic gîte for holiday makers. In addition, there is a large two-storey barn, which so far has provided the perfect area for entertaining, along with its covered dining terrace that overlooks the surrounding fields, and a 10m x 5m salt-water swimming pool. Next to the barn is a pool house with its own original bread oven. There is also an open barn that currently serves as a woodstore, and a decorative kiosk close to the vegetable garden. The grounds comprise woodland, pasture and a stunningly maintained garden with 2 spring water wells. The property is located within the commune of Sainte Colombe, a charming village with a great local school and a recently renovated tennis court. The market town of Hagetmau, known for its Olympic-sized swimming pool, is only a short drive, where you can enjoy the local markets, restaurants and bars, and a stroll through the historical centre. The area is rich in culture and history, and the market town of Saint Sever, with its UNESCO World Heritage Site Abbey, is also only a 10 minute drive. Just over an hour’s drive to the stunning Atlantic Coast, or the Pyrenees mountain range, the Château is located in one of the most sought after areas of France. The relaxed lifestyle, the accessibility to the outdoors, and the unbelievable gastronomy, make this place a real gem. The property would make the ideal family home, but also has the potential to run one to several businesses. Pau, Lourdes and Biarritz airports are also all easily accessible.
