Castle Chatillon-en-bazois (58)

A 14th century fortified house, outbuildings and 17 hectare estate between Châtillon-en-Bazois and Château-Chinon in the Nivernais region, on the border of the Morvan natural park. Covering an area of around 17 hectares, the estate lies at an altitude of 300 metres and enjoys a continental climate. Mainly made up of meadows with fertile soils, it includes four ponds to the south of the stronghold house, on an east-west axis that follows the slight slope of the plot. To the north, three imposing barns with rendered rubble stone façades and traditional flat tile, mechanical tile or slate roofs mark the entrance to the property. The dwelling consists of two buildings, set at right angles to each other and backed by a square master tower, mentioned as early as 1443. The latter has retained its harquebusiers in its upper section, characteristic of its first defensive use. Its four-sloped roof is made of Burgundy tiles, as are the roofs of the dwelling, and topped with two finials, while two dormer windows light up the attic of the dwelling. Access to the gravelled inner courtyard, located to the east of the stronghold house, is via a châtelet, whose porch is supported by two semi-circular arches. Adjacent to this, a more recent house now houses the boiler room and a workshop. A second tower, to the south of the main building, contains a stone spiral staircase. Between the two towers, the east and west façades of the two-storey attic dwelling featuring mainly straight windows and an oculus, are plain and rendered throughout except for the ashlar surrounds. A contemporary garden has also been laid out by the current occupants, adding to the spirit of the place. The estate has retained its medieval appearance and archival research has identified the presence of a former seigneury as early as the first half of the 14th century.

Castle Mennecy (91)

in the Essonne valley, 35 km south-east of Paris A vast 18th century château and its neo-Romanesque indoor chapel. The present château was re-built in a classical 18th century style on the foundations of an older edifice around 1850. Past the entrance gate leading directly to the main courtyard with a central circular lawn, the château comes into view. This four-storey château spans approximately 1,200 m². Its slate roof, which is in excellent condition, is dotted with bullseye windows. The edifice extends out on either side of a central south-east facing front section. This houses the main entrance, topped by a wrought iron balcony whose motifs are reminiscent of the Sun King's monogram. The balcony can be reached via French windows framed by a sculpted pediment. The upper part of the front section rests on four columns topped with capitals. On each side of the entrance, two carved stone sphinxes stand guard over the estate. Each wing has a row of five windows per level. On the ground floor, thanks to the dual aspect rooms, they connect the front and rear of the grounds. At the four corners of the château, four square towers emphasise the symmetry of the design. Each tower features windows richly decorated with carved shells and floral motifs in the Renaissance style. The façades of the towers are framed by slender columns crowned with finely crafted capitals. The north-west façade, facing the grounds, echoes the composition of the main façade. Its central avant-corps stands beneath a bullseye window framed by two imposing gable dormers. All of the façades, as well as the slate roof, have been carefully restored in keeping with their original architectural style.

Castle Livarot-Pays-d'Auge (14)

Situated in Normandy, two hours from Paris and 10 minutes from a motorway exit, between Livarot and Orbec, this authentic 16th- and 18th-century château stands in its own green setting of approximately 1.3 hectares, surrounded by meadows, in the heart of the Pays d’Auge, with its manor houses and stud farms. The first section, built in the mid-16th century with its two pepperpot towers, was later extended with the addition of the central wing in the 18th century; the building has undergone successive renovations, notably to the roof and all the external joinery. The whole structure, built of cut stone and brick with a roof of small flat tiles, presents a most pleasing architectural appearance. With a living area of around 320 m², the château comprises 14 main rooms. The ground-floor entrance leads to a sitting room on the right and, on the left, the kitchen followed by the dining room, as well as a shower room with a toilet. In the 16th-century section, a magnificent hall featuring a stately fireplace – which still has its original bread oven – opens onto several rooms in the towers and another entrance. A beautiful wooden spiral staircase leads to the two upper floors, which comprise seven light-filled bedrooms – two of which are in the towers – and three bathrooms. On the second floor, in addition to a large bedroom – which could potentially be converted into a TV lounge, games room or similar – a spacious attic offers further potential for conversion. A former farmhouse, an outbuilding with a floor area of approximately 120 m² in need of complete renovation, features four horse stalls, a large attic and two lean-to sheds. The property is further complemented by a 16th-century dovecote, built of stone and brick and roofed with small flat tiles, featuring several hundred nesting boxes and an interior layout comprising a staircase and two intermediate floors. The entire estate, nestled in the heart of an elegant, largely wooded park, with a lime-tree-lined avenue running through it, exudes a sense of tranquillity that makes it a haven of peace. Furthermore, an additional 1.6 hectares could be made available to complement the park, depending on the buyer’s wishes. The architecture, setting and location of this characterful, intimate château make it an exceptional property that is bound to appeal.

Castle Nandrin (Belgium)

In the Liège Condroz, in Nandrin, a château, its guest house, its grounds and its pond, covering some 5.5 hectares. A tree-lined islet in the middle of a pond. It is through this that the estate best tells its story: a place that seems to need no one to exist, and yet was deliberately created. All around, some 5.5 hectares of lawns and tall trees open up in vistas leading to the château. Its silhouette is measured, its proportions just right. Inside, the ceilings are high and the wood panelling abundant, and the rooms invite you to linger. The château has eleven bedrooms under its roof, whilst a neighbouring, separate house offers a further five. The estate is accustomed to company yet also knows how to be discreet. The château for entertaining, the island for getting away from it all.

Castle Sainte-Hermine (85)

Ref.4971: Former seigneurial castle comprising two dwellings, outbuildings and a 4,493 sqm garden in southern Vendée Set in the heart of the Vendée countryside, this small village offers a peaceful and authentic way of life, ideal for those who long for calm and nature. Between green meadows, bocage, woods and small country lanes, the landscape invites walks, bike rides and the simple pleasures of outdoor life. This charming village offers a serene environment while remaining close to the shops and services of Sainte-Hermine, a few minutes away by car. Nearby, Fontenay-le-Comte and Luçon offer more shops, restaurants and activities for everyday life. Nature and discovery lovers will also enjoy outings to the Marais poitevin and its enchanting canals, as well as the beautiful beaches of the Vendée coast. So many ways to vary the pleasures, between relaxation, heritage and outdoor leisure. Living here means choosing a gentler daily life, enjoying space, recharging through the seasons and rediscovering the taste for simple things, without giving up essential amenities. This seigneurial dwelling offers approximately 300 sqm of living space, divided between two dwellings. The inner courtyard is reached through a succession of two large stone arches, weathered by time, creating a perspective. The main building is the oldest identifiable part of the edifice. Built at the very end of the 15th century, it forms the core of the seigneurial residence. Its rectangular volume met the residential needs of a noble family while asserting the lord's presence within his estate. Certain architectural features bear witness to the building's medieval origins. The entrance gateway notably retains remains of rib vaults, characteristic of Gothic architecture. The original dwelling has nevertheless evolved over the centuries. Later transformations altered its volumes and interior layout, without entirely erasing the traces of its first building campaign. Once through the porch, one reaches a square courtyard. FIRST HOME: In the first part of the dwelling, on the ground floor, there is a kitchen full of character, authentic and with a warm atmosphere. The exposed stone walls, the old beams and the imposing monumental stone fireplace create a setting steeped in history and conviviality. The floor is adorned with an elegant checkerboard in light and ochre tones. This kitchen elegantly combines old-world charm with the art of living of fine country houses: a generous and authentic space, designed as much for cooking as for entertaining. The living room retains fine original features: the old terracotta tiled floor with its warm, irregular shades, the monumental fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove, and the French-style ceiling of massive dark wooden beams. A bathroom and a separate toilet complete the ground floor. The staircase is another remarkable feature of the dwelling: made of light-coloured stone, with wide, massive steps weathered by time, it consists of two flights crossing around an imposing stringer wall. The banister is a white-painted wooden balustrade of turned and carved balusters, topped with a thick handrail. The more imposing newel posts feature moulded panels. Upstairs, a stone-floored landing leads to the corridor serving two bedrooms, a child's bedroom, a bathroom, a toilet and a vast attic with a monumental fireplace to be restored. SECOND HOME: In the second part of the dwelling, the ground floor comprises a vast living room with a monumental fireplace and a beamed ceiling, then a large bedroom with a terracotta tiled floor, beams and a brick fireplace, a kitchen with a flagstone floor and a basic shower room with toilet. Upstairs are vast attics that could be converted into additional bedrooms. The outbuildings include the oratory, to be restored, whose walls retain original frescoes, the sheepfold, the seigneurial market hall of approximately 7 × 9 m, a large attic with a fireplace, and the barn. The grounds cover 4,493 sqm. They are made up of different areas, each with its own orientation, to be enjoyed at different times of day: the north-facing terrace overlooking the village, a wooded area, the vegetable garden, the field to the west with the orchard, and the south-facing garden in the inner courtyard.

Castle Chateaudun (28)

A 16th-century chateau with 78 hectares of grounds through which a river flows, tucked away in France’s beautiful Loir-et-Cher department. Just outside a peaceful village, the chateau is out of sight yet remains close to other dwellings. In addition to the chateau, the estate includes outbuildings, woodland and farmland. Beyond the parish church, tall gates mark the entrance to the grounds, where centuries-old trees tower. On one side, the brick-and-flint outbuildings remain hidden from view. The chateau then comes into view, with its towers. Built in the late 15th or early 16th century, it is thought to have served as a country residence for the abbots of Châteaudun Abbey. The main building has retained its original layout: a tall, rectangular structure with a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space, flanked with three adjoining round towers. It offers a floor area of over 400m². Facing south, it overlooks a vast, tree-lined lawn. The architecture is characterised by its meticulous ornamentation: alternating brick and stone, towers capped with cone roofs, stone-mullioned windows, moulded archivolts and a wooden door carved with napkin-fold detailing. Restored in the late 1980s, the interior is now in need of refurbishment. Outside, the wooded grounds slope down towards the river and a two-hectare lake. On the other side, approximately 20 hectares of woodland and 45 hectares of cultivated land form a farm. The estate also includes a disused farm complex.
