Castle Les Vans (07)

This charming guest house, nestling on an ancient Roman road, offers a Boutique Hotel rooted in local culture - an intimate, personalised and authentic experience based on a 12th-century Château and its chapel - a timeless stopover filled with evocative history. You have to push open the imposing wooden gate to discover a unique world, a jewel of architecture overlooking an exuberant 5000m² park, worthy of The Jungle Book, in which courtyards, terraces, fountains, century-old trees, lime trees, cedars of Lebanon, Spanish firs and palm trees intersect with shady paths lined with boxwoods, rose gardens and bamboo groves, enticing exploration and the sharing of emotions and gentle poetry, not far from a beautiful 16 x 4.5m swimming pool. This residence belonged to a wealthy family in the 16th century, who created stone features such as the Renaissance staircase of monumental proportions, which is a key feature of the castle. In 1925, a general returning from the Colonies decided to completely renovate the castle, and thanks to him, the winter garden was created with its fresco decoration. This was followed by a period of prosperity linked to a local activity - silkworm farming. Magnificently restored and maintained, this generous haven of peace offers its guests a wealth of nooks and crannies, vast rooms furnished with charm and harmony, some with balconies, like a promontory set in parkland, bathed in the scents and fragrances from the four corners of the world, not forgetting the accompanying songs and chirping of the birds who live here. With almost 632m² of living space, not including the additional 165m² of convertible attic space and numerous outbuildings, the successive owners have designed a welcoming lounge in the former chapel, with a huge library brimming with books, a place of reverie for those who choose to lounge on a soft sofa; then a vaulted kitchen furnished with high-quality Zimbabwe granite worktops and a Lacanche cooking hob, opening onto a terrace; for food-lovers, a beautifully proportioned vaulted dining room with a huge table draped in white linen; not forgetting the cinema room with its antique armchairs upholstered in red velvet, cleverly converted in the tower room. There are also four large bedrooms, including two suites (double rooms) (34, 58, 45 and 26m²), all with ensuite facilities, and a guard room in the 13th-century keep. On the second level: three bedrooms, including a large suite (double room) and the keep room (14.5m², 45m² and 40.6m²). Independently accessible from the courtyard and on one level: a vaulted room, a fitted kitchen and an ensuite bedroom (25m²) with bathroom and toilet. A curiosity in the garden are the unusual dwelling places: a camp of 3 traditional gypsy caravans, a cabin and ‘la vie en rose’ - many promises and magical moments if we could go on here and list in detail all the riches of this home, but isn't it better to discover them for yourself ? Agency fees are to be paid by the vendor. Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website. Référence : 2757

Completely restored, this building now offers a rare refuge, a place where medieval authenticity blends harmoniously with contemporary elegance. Here, nothing has been left to chance: the renovation has respected the soul of the place while offering it the discreet and precious comfort of modernity ; the cut stone, patinated by time, dialogues with the oak beams that underline each volume and the tawny sand-colored walls restored with aerial lime, in order to preserve charm and authenticity. A vast entrance dating from the 14th century welcomes you, giving access to the ground floor living areas: A first lounge with a bar of over 31m2 adjoining a lounge of over 50m2, reveal their warm atmosphere, a place to meet, an evening with friends, a haven of peace that invites you to curl up on a sofa by the warmth of a fireplace... An imposing dining room extends this conviviality, offering remarkable features such as its 13th-century wall, a well, a stone sink, and a large fireplace a perfect room to welcome guests in search of authenticity.

Castle Issoire (63)

Dwelling: Near a village nestled at the foot of a hill, neighboring an unusual Forêt de la Comté classified as an environmental site, all set within the first foothills of the Livradois-Forez Regional Park, this 17th-century estate reveals itself. Loaded with history and presenting approximately 600 m² of living space over 3 levels, the castle and its outbuildings unfold around a U-shaped courtyard housing an old crayfish park, a stone fountain from Volvic, and varied vegetation. As you pass through the gate, a two-level caretaker's house, barns, and a garage are a number of outbuildings for rehabilitation, along with the interior of the building which has undergone a roof restoration. A stable and the ruins of an old house stand in close proximity. Numerous works on medium and major construction are planned to restore the shine to this place. The castle, built on a small cellar, offers substantial living volumes. The entrance, ornamented with a stone pediment, leads left to a kitchen and a large pantry, and to the right, a majestic living room of 113 m² with its library corner and numerous openings onto the park, a bedroom, and a toilet. A majestic staircase provides access to a private chapel on the mezzanine, and then upstairs to four bedrooms, an office, a shower room, and two bathrooms. On the top level, an apartment with a living room, shower room, and a bedroom adorned with painted woodwork opening onto a terrace completes another area that includes three bedrooms. Finally, under the roof of the tower, there is a final room serving as an additional bedroom. Land: Open to the valley, south-facing, with no overlooking neighbors, the estate overlooks its 5 hectares of land primarily composed of meadows and some woods. Notable is the presence of a spring and a large vegetable garden sheltered behind the barn walls. The gravel terrace, directly accessible from the living room, allows for full enjoyment of the view and the serene surroundings.

Castle Limoges (87)

Nestled like a hidden treasure in the rolling countryside just fifteen minutes from Limoges, this gorgeous 18th-century château, originally constructed in 1740 during the illustrious reign of Louis XV, radiates timeless elegance. Thought to have been initially designed as a hunting lodge, the estate was magnificently expanded a century later, graced with the addition of two impressive towers at its grand façade. Legend surrounds this enchanting property; stories suggest it was presented to its unnamed owner by Napoleon III, the last emperor of France, prior to his imprisonment for a failed coup. This alluring tale finds substance in the form of a remarkable, elaborately carved six-metre oak panelled chimney breast in one of the towers—an exquisite masterpiece, crafted in the opulent style of the era. Impeccably restored, curated, and furnished to the highest standard, the château offers unparalleled versatility. Its extensive, secluded grounds feature a magnificent orangery and ten sumptuous bedrooms. For recreation and relaxation, you'll discover a professional-grade tennis court, an inviting outdoor swimming pool, a luxurious jacuzzi and sauna chalet, a spacious garage and workshop, and even a tranquil zen garden—perfect for moments of peace and reflection. Upon crossing the threshold, guests are immediately enveloped in a sense of grandeur, indulgence, and privacy, with expansive entertaining spaces, welcoming bolt-holes, and private bathrooms for each refined bedroom. Whilst currently used as a private residence, the estate is perfectly suited to serve as a glamorous holiday retreat for celebratory gatherings, or a hospitality business enterprise. The château is located on the edge of a small village in the heart of the countryside, yet just about five minutes from a bakery and twenty minutes from a hospital, a major city, with national train connections and a European airport. This is an opportunity to acquire a magnificent castle, exceptionally decorated and finished, versatile, already renowned, and to personalise it to your taste. Whether envisioned as a boutique spa escape, an intimate hotel, or an exclusive venue for events and weddings, the château’s adaptability invites limitless possibilities for those seeking a life of sophistication and refined leisure.

Nestled in the heart of the splendid Gers countryside, this magnificent château enjoys an exceptional setting, overlooking the communal lake, the rolling hills, and the majestic Pyrenees in the distance. The surroundings are peaceful and preserved, while remaining close to all amenities: the delightful town of Vic-Fezensac, famous for its festivals, shops and schools, is only 15 minutes away, and Aire-sur-l'Adour, a lively and dynamic town, is just 40 minutes away. Once left abandoned, the château has been completely restored by the current owners, who have brought it back to life with passion and taste. They have successfully combined authenticity and modern comfort, creating a warm and welcoming residence full of charm and character. The property offers approximately 1,600 m² of living space, including spacious reception rooms such as a 100 m² banquet hall with fireplace, a large lounge with wood-burning stove, a cosy sitting room, and a bar area.

Set within nearly 2 hectares of landscaped parkland and surrounded by 4 hectares of meadows, ideal for horses, the château also features a deconsecrated chapel adjoining one wing, adding charm and history to the estate. On the terrace, a large outdoor canopy allows guests to gather comfortably in the shade or sheltered from the rain.

Castle Brigueil-le-Chantre (86)

Own a Piece of French History Have you ever dreamt of becoming the guardian of a château steeped in history? Now could be your chance. Part of this remarkable estate dates back to 1350, when it was elevated to château status by Royal decree of the King of France. Built as a fortress to protect its grounds and surrounding lands, the château today is both a thriving touristic holiday rental business and a magnificent private estate. Nestled in a private and tranquil setting in the Vienne department of central France, the property extends over 6.9 hectares of landscaped gardens, meadows, and river frontage, complete with two private islands. The estate includes the original dungeon of 1350, transformed into a unique and atmospheric wedding and events hall, the impressive château of 1492 with its tall tower overlooking the countryside, a two-bedroom gîte, a two-bedroom caretaker's cottage, a one-bedroom apartment, a vast two-level barn, a games room and library, a swimming pool with terraces, and an original bread oven. The château itself has been sympathetically renovated, blending modern comfort with authentic medieval character. On the ground floor, the original wooden door of the tower opens into a hallway that reveals the spiral granite staircase, its steps worn smooth by centuries of use. A large living room with monumental fireplace, a rustic country kitchen designed for both family life and professional catering, a downstairs bedroom with en-suite bathroom, and a vaulted stone cellar ideal for wine tastings complete this level. The first floor offers two grand bedrooms with stylish but authentic bathrooms, while the vast attic above remains undeveloped, providing exceptional potential for further accommodation. Adjoining the château is a spacious games room with a craft room above, and to the other side stands a huge barn housing machinery and a brand-new pellet boiler, with a vast attic that could be converted into an impressive events hall. Within the main courtyard lies the owners' cottage, comprising an open-plan living space, kitchen, storeroom, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. Opposite stands the original 1350 dungeon, once three levels high in the days of the Templar Knights and still retaining its original fireplace, now used as a wedding hall. A further two-bedroom cottage with a modern kitchen and bright lounge opens onto the swimming pool terrace, while a small apartment provides additional rental income. The grounds are equally enchanting, offering shrubbed gardens, vegetable plots, meadows, wooded areas, and a terrace viewpoint leading down to the river below. The current owners have carried out extensive and tasteful renovations, yet the estate still holds enormous untapped potential for further development, events, or the expansion of its successful rental business. This château is more than a property ? it is a living piece of history, filled with character, romance, and possibility. Words and photos cannot capture its magic. A personal visit is essential to truly experience the atmosphere of this extraordinary estate. (4.04 % fees incl. VAT at the buyer's expense.)

Castle Dirac (16)

Built in the 18th and 19th centuries, this characterful estate features a magnificent 500 m2 château flanked by two medieval towers. Accompanied by numerous outbuildings, it is set in 8 hectares of wooded grounds on the edge of a charming hamlet, close to the dynamic city center of Angoulême.Overlooking the Natura 2000-listed Échelle valley, its charm is apparent from the moment you arrive, crossing a stone footbridge over deep dry moats, at the height of a 12th-century tower covered in ivy. The hallway instantly offers a view of the promontory terrace, suspended above the moat and underground passages that run behind the building.In contrast to the imposing, timeless exterior, the interior of the château evokes a country house on a human scale. The current owners have undertaken a sensitive and respectful renovation in a refined style, allowing the history and patina of the place to shine through, in keeping with the aesthetic of their family business: Les Petites Emplettes. The interior design approach is to let volumes and textures express themselves, enriching them with natural materials and, above all, inviting light to flow through the large windows, capturing the surrounding nature at every moment. Raised on three levels, the ground floor mainly houses north-south living rooms bathed in light. This light is reflected on the white shellstone walls, punctuated by original doors painted in a timeless green. The eclectic floors combine hexagonal terracotta tiles, speckled checkerboard tiles from the 1950s, and wide wooden floorboards. An elm staircase with elegant ironwork follows the curves of the stone wall and serves the four levels, from the cellars to the attic, generously distributing the spaces, including eight bedrooms, their adjoining rooms, and three bathrooms. The top level, with exposed beams, offers a panoramic view of the picturesque surrounding landscape.To the west of the château, a U-shaped farmhouse houses more than 1,500 m2 of outbuildings. These buildings, witnesses to the rural activity of yesteryear, include barns, dwellings, workshops, and stables, some of which have been renovated. On one side of the green courtyard, a spectacularly spacious barn has been converted into a multipurpose showroom and guinguette, spread over three levels and 300 m2. A magnificent, fully restored wooden frame blends harmoniously with the freshly repointed stone walls, sanded concrete floor, and contemporary steel joinery.Opposite, an outbuilding has been converted into a cottage-style gîte. This little cocoon embodies the same values of light and materials, with a contemporary touch upstairs, clad in poplar plywood. The ground floor features a cozy living room around a Godin stove, a sunny bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, and upstairs, a mezzanine dormitory with a second bedroom and bathroom. It is impossible to describe everything, as the place is so rich in inspiration and potential.
