Castle Chatillon-en-bazois (58)

On the edge of Morvan, in Nivernais, between Châtillon-en-Bazois and Château-Chinon, a fortified house from the 14th century, its outbuildings, and its estate of 17 hectares. Spanning an area of about 17 hectares, the estate is situated at an altitude of 300 meters and enjoys a continental climate. Mainly composed of fertile pastures, it has four ponds located to the south of the fortified house, aligned along an east-west axis that follows the slight slope of the land. To the north, three imposing barns, with facades made of plastered stones and roofs of traditional flat tiles, mechanical tiles, or slates, mark the entrance to the property. The residence consists of two buildings arranged at a right angle and adjoined by a square plan main tower, mentioned as early as 1443. The tower has retained its gun loopholes in its upper part, characteristic of its original defensive use. Its four-pitched roof is covered with Burgundy tiles, like the roofs of the residence, and is topped with two ridge finials while two dormer windows light up the attic of the residence. Access to the gravelled inner courtyard, located to the east of the fortified house, is through a small gatehouse whose porch is supported by two rounded arches. A more recent house, attached to the gatehouse, now houses the boiler room and a workshop. Finally, a second tower, to the south, attached to the main body of the residence, contains a spiral stone staircase. Between the two towers, the east and west facades of the dwelling, which has two levels under the roof, pierced by mainly straight openings and an oculus, are quite sober, covered everywhere except for the stone framing. Another character element contributing to the soul of the place is a contemporary garden created by the current occupants. The estate has retained its medieval appearance, and archival research has identified the presence of an ancient lordship from the first half of the 14th century.This description has been automatically translated from French.

The bocage region of the Vendée is mainly made up of fields surrounded by coppice, hedges and copses, forming a landscape of unspoilt natural charm. The small village where the Château is located has a rich history: in the 15th century, this trading town was renowned throughout the region for its fairs and varied crafts. In 1721, it was one of the twenty largest towns in Bas-Poitou! The fairs lost their importance in the 16th century, and after the Revolution they were held only four times a year. Built between 1850 and 1856, this Château is typical of the buildings of the period: a vast, ostentatious residence in keeping with the recovery and reconstruction of the region after the Vendée War. It is a square building, two storeys high. The garden level has a large surface area thanks to two low wings with concealed roofs, while the central mass rises over four levels of windows above a brick base. This strong vertical effect is accentuated by the high chimney stacks and corbelled turrets at each corner, known as pepperboxes. In addition, the rear façade features a polygonal front decorated with an attractive superimposition of Ionic and Corinthian orders. Inside, after climbing a granite staircase, visitors are welcomed into a vast entrance hall (40 sqm) with columns with composite capitals opening onto a beautiful dining room (43 sqm) with fine wood panelling, parquet flooring and a fireplace. Ceiling height is 4.50 metres. To the left are three reception rooms (40 sqm, 45 sqm and 22 sqm). On the right-hand side, the more technical part, a corridor with wood panelling and stucco leads to a professional kitchen (38 sqm), an office, cold rooms and toilets that can accommodate the public (PMR standard). A huge, beautifully curved staircase leads to the upper floors. It has a remarkable original wrought-iron banister. The upper floors can also be accessed via a back staircase. On the first floor, a vast corridor leads to four bedrooms, each with its own shower room and toilet, located in one of the four towers. All have beautiful oak parquet flooring. The second floor has the same layout as the first, with four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and toilet. Beautiful oak parquet flooring. The attic is partly converted, with a small kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The other part can be converted. A huge cellar completes the ensemble: a large central corridor with external exits at each end leads to a group of nine fully vaulted, stone-paved rooms. It covers the entire surface area of the Château. The outbuildings comprise: The orangery : This pretty stone and brick building with a slate roof is in need of restoration. It is 24 m long and 11 m wide. A large attic is possible. The stables : This rendered stone building dates from 1880 and comprises a central building flanked by two wings. The building requires restoration works. It is 26 metres long and 13 metres wide. The building includes garages, stables, a tack room and the possibility of attics throughout. The gîtes : In the former orchard, separated from the Château, surrounded by old stone walls, two gîtes have been restored. The first gîte sleeps 6 people (€1,000 in high season) and the second sleeps 4 (€760 in high season). A swimming pool (5x10m) allows guests to cool off after visiting the rich heritage of the Vendée. The park covers approximately 6,18 acres, some of which is enclosed by walls. The English-style park is planted with large trees of various species. In particular, there are two huge sequoias. The woodland of around one hectare is planted mainly with oaks. Away from the Château is the orchard, enclosed by old walls: several fruit trees, including fig, mirabelle, apple and peach trees.

Castle Montcuq (46)

Domaine de Bonnac is an exceptional private estate whose origins date back to the 15th century. Rebuilt on the remains of a former fortified château, the property has known, since the 17th century, only a very limited number of owners, each a careful steward deeply connected to the land, the history of the place, and a way of life rooted in balance with nature. Seldom offered for sale, estates of this caliber form an integral part of the historical and landscape heritage of the Quercy Blanc, a region prized for its authenticity, discretion and long-term preservation. Set on a hillside at approximately 250 meter above sea level, at the gateway to Cahors, the estate enjoys a protected natural environment in an area often referred to as 'Little Tuscany.' Shaped by an ancient seabed, the land is distinguished by limestone soils particularly suited to olive trees, vines, saffron, almond trees, lavender and truffle oaks. In a commanding yet remarkably discreet position, the property reveals itself gradually, sheltered within its natural surroundings. From the moment of arrival, Bonnac conveys a rare atmosphere of peace and timeless coherence, where the built environment and the land exist in perfect harmony. The estate extends over 37 hectares in a single uninterrupted holding, comprising 13 hectares of agricultural land, a 6-hectare landscaped park with orchard, and 18 hectares of woodland, complemented by three natural springs, two ponds, and three agricultural water connections, offering a high degree of autonomy and long-term sustainability. The total built surface area is approximately 1,600 m2, comprising: o 665.25 m2 of existing habitable space, fully usable today o 372.89 m2 of convertible space, offering additional potential This brings the total potential living area to 1,038.14 m2, complemented by an additional 582.74 m2 of fully renovated and immediately operational professional and creative spaces, including studios, offices, workshops and ancillary buildings Over the past five years, Domaine de Bonnac has undergone an exceptional restoration and contemporary transformation, reaching a level of finish and year-round comfort that is almost never found in a historic rural estate. The result is a rare dialogue between heritage and modernity, where the authenticity of the old stone structure has been preserved, yet elevated through highly refined design and craftsmanship. Throughout the main house, original elements such as historic church stone flooring and generous traditional volumes are paired with contemporary materials and techniques, including bespoke micro cement finishes and warm wood floors that invite life in every season. The interiors combine timeless architectural presence with an unmistakably modern standard of living. The kitchen has been entirely custom built, featuring Gaggenau appliances and Dekton countertops, while selected areas of the home are finished in lime wash, lending softness, depth and quiet elegance to the walls. The master suite offers a spa level bathroom of remarkable quality, comparable to the most exclusive resorts. Particular care has been taken to honor traditional craftsmanship, from the staircase, built according to historic methods and proportions, to parquet flooring whose design echoes 17th century patterns. Each space is defined by generous ceiling heights, light, and a rare sense of architectural integrity. Bonnac is not a seasonal residence, but a fully realized estate designed to be lived in comfortably throughout the entire year, offering an exceptional balance of patrimonial presence and contemporary ease. Among its most distinctive features are an artist's studio of approximately 180 m2 and a fully soundproofed professional music studio of approximately 120 m2, incorporating a recording booth and two separate postproduction rooms. Such facilities are extraordinarily rare within a historic rural domain and open the estate to a wide range of private, artistic or professional

Listed castle Rennes (35)

10 minutes from Rennes, with its outbuildings and a 3-hectare park, a Louis XIII period chateau, listed as a Historic Monument (MH). Mentioned as early as 1419 and rebuilt in 1655, the chateau is in the Louis XIII style, typical of 17th-century architecture. Listed as MH since 1969, the residence occupies an area of about 646 m². It consists of a central body, extended by two slightly projecting pavilions. The main facade is plastered and divided by five regular bays over four levels of elevation. The building is topped with a high slate roof, pierced by dormer windows with arched pediments. Weathervanes in the shape of fleur-de-lis surmount the pavilions. The window frames are made of limestone, with fluted jambs. Each floor is delineated by a molded belt, also in limestone. The decorative elements are discreet: coats of arms and suns carved in bas-relief. On the east facade, the ends of the pavilions are flanked by two corner turrets with timber framing, each crowned with an imperial roof and topped with a small pyramid-shaped bell tower. The rest of the property includes outbuildings, consisting of a lodge, two dovecotes also listed as MH, and a bakery. The entire estate is surrounded by a French-style topiary garden and a wooded park of over 3 hectares, featuring a pond, vegetable garden, rose garden, and tennis court.This description has been automatically translated from French.
