Castle Saint-Illiers-la-Ville (78)

On the edge of Yvelines and Normandy, in the preserved village of Saint-Illiers-la-Ville, this castle built in 1850 unfolds its brick and plaster facades in the heart of a 4.5-hectare park. Its commanding position offers an unobstructed view of the surrounding countryside. The castle illustrates the eclectic architecture of the 19th century. Its symmetrical main façade is organized around a stone honor staircase and tall arched French doors, framed by two lateral gables. The elevations blend red brick with light plaster, punctuated by harped brick corner chains and brick-framed windows. Under the cornice, a decorative frieze with geometric motifs in polychrome adds a characteristic touch of the period. The building is topped with a high slate roof, entirely renewed, animated by dormer windows, a spire, and tall brick chimney stacks. Completely renovated in 2021, the castle offers 337 sqm of living space (407 sqm total surface) over three main levels, complemented by an attic and a basement. The ground floor is dedicated to reception: a tiled entrance opens onto two lounges and a dining room with generous volumes, extended by a 23 sqm kitchen. Parquet floors, moldings, chimney, plaster rosettes, and checkered floors create an authentic and luminous decor, served by large bays opening onto the park. The first floor hosts four bedrooms, served by a large landing and a bathroom. The second is organized around a large master suite and includes two other bedrooms, served by several bathrooms and water rooms. In total, seven bedrooms allow for hosting family and guests in rare comfort. The development potential is one of the property’s assets: the 70 sqm attic, already insulated and powered by electricity, lends itself to creating bedrooms, an office, or a leisure space without major work, while the basement offers the possibility of developing new living spaces, game room, wine cellar, gym, or spa depending on projects. All these volumes are available to support the evolution of a household or activity. The renovation combines character and contemporary comfort: pellet central heating, double-flow ventilation, air and water filtration systems, exterior lighting, electric gate, fencing, and car shelter. All technical installations needed for the creation of a pool have already been completed, leaving only the basin installation to be done. At the rear, a large stone-paved terrace with a balustrade overlooks the park and naturally extends receptions. The wooded park, planted with remarkable specimens and enclosed, provides a setting of greenery and tranquility around the residence. Just minutes from Bréval shops, the property benefits from easy access to the capital: Bréval station connected to Paris-Saint-Lazare in about fifty minutes, A13 motorway nearby. By its size, its volumes, and its location, the Saint-Illiers-la-Ville castle is suitable both for a family seeking a characterful main residence and for buyers looking for a quiet secondary residence near Normandy. Its spacious reception rooms, park, and expansion possibilities also make it suitable for a professional project, guest house, or reception venue, in an exceptional setting less than an hour from Paris.

Castle Toulouse (31)

A very elegant 18th-19th century château overlooking 70 hectares with small ponds, offering panoramic views of the Pyrenees and the Pic du Midi, with no neighbors. This former manor house, with its romantic charm, presents a rare opportunity for family or professional use, with the possibility of building on over 3 hectares. Located at the end of a private drive, in a peaceful setting, the property is perfectly suited for artistic, cultural, equestrian, or sporting activities, hospitality, co-living, catering, or simply as a family home. It is a truly idyllic and rare retreat. The main building comprises nine bedrooms (including five suites), four living rooms and reception rooms opening onto the expansive stone terrace, which softens the Napoleonic façade. The orangery and dovecote have been converted into a gîte with five bedrooms. The outbuildings (700 sq m) bear witness to an agricultural past and offer ample space for a fine car collection. Authentic features have been preserved: beautiful exposed beams, fireplaces, parquet flooring, Genoese-style roof tiles, finials, woodwork, and stucco. The secluded swimming pool reminds us that the pursuit of elegance and authenticity does not preclude modern comforts. The exterior is a true asset; the 70-hectare property, all in one piece, is uncommon in this region. It is hilly, well-maintained, and boasts three ponds with views of the Pyrenees. This was an essential element of a family home before the French Revolution. The historical heritage of Southwest France blends seamlessly with the culture, sports, and gastronomy that characterize the 21st century, all within a still protected, commanding, and secure environment. Toulouse International Airport is 1.5 hours away (with flights to Dubai, Canada, etc.), and shops, a market, doctors, festivals, and a rich cultural scene are all nearby. Information and visits specifically from Valérie Trinel who knows this property particularly well. The fees are to be paid by the seller.

Castle Thiers (63)

Perched on a rocky spur overlooking the Dore gorges, this former fortified priory offers a spectacular setting and architecture steeped in nearly eight centuries of history. Facing due south, the property enjoys a commanding position, a protected environment, and remarkable views of the surrounding landscape. Listed on the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments since 1926, the architectural ensemble comprises a rectangular 15th-century main building, an imposing 13th-century keep, and an elegant 15th-century circular tower. Remodeled in the 18th century by the former prior, then restored in the 1910s by the painter Louis Retru, the château retains a particularly evocative neo-Gothic interior: monumental fireplaces, painted ceilings, murals, Versailles parquet flooring, and a trefoil window create a rare and authentic atmosphere. The main building offers approximately 156 square meters of living space spread over three levels. On the ground floor, the entrance is through the tower and leads to a kitchen with direct access to the garden, a spacious 32 sq m living room featuring a monumental fireplace, a painted ceiling, and decorative wall art, as well as an office with Versailles parquet flooring.

Another bedroom has a stone fireplace and access to a 7 sq m loggia. A painted office completes this floor. On the second floor are an 18 sq m bedroom, a bathroom, and an attic offering additional space to be developed. The keep, the true centerpiece of the property, comprises two barrel-vaulted rooms, one of which is pierced by three arrow slits. A staircase built into the thickness of the walls leads to a crenellated terrace of approximately 20 square meters. From this unique vantage point, one can admire a 360° panorama of the gorges and the surrounding countryside. Adjoining the main house, a 70-square-meter barn, currently used as a garage, offers interesting potential for conversion. It sits atop a remarkable 48-square-meter stone vaulted cellar. Outside, the castle extends into a charming terraced garden facing south. The courtyard stretches westward, at the foot of a magnificent 14th-century church. To the east, the grounds contain an additional tower as well as the remains of the former moat. The property comprises a total land area of 3,122 square meters. The electric central heating, plumbing, electrical system, mains drainage connection, and bathroom were all completed or renovated in 2010. The property is exempt from the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) due to its listed status as a Historic Monument.

Sheltered from view, the property is only 3 kilometres from the nearest shops and about 20 minutes from a motorway link connecting Paris to Clermont-Ferrand.

On the edge of a small village in the Loir Valley, this abbey, founded around 540 by King Childebert I, has enjoyed a rich and eventful history, from its destruction by the Vikings in the 10th century to its conversion into a private residence in the 19th century. Its present architecture is essentially 18th-century in character. The château (abbey house), comprising one of the four surviving wings of the cloister, displays elegant 18th-century architecture, notably featuring a particularly graceful 18th-century wrought-iron balcony, dormer windows and a Neoclassical entrance door. The 18th-century château underwent a major restoration carried out to the highest standards, with a total investment of more than €3.3 million in 2024/2025.
