Castle Le Blanc (36)

Ref.4905 : Elegant 18th-C. Chateau in the Brenne region of Berry, featuring guesthouses and stables This elegant property is located three and a half hours from the capital, in the heart of the Brenne, the “Land of a Thousand Ponds.” The Brenne is a natural region renowned for its unspoiled wilderness and exceptional biodiversity, designated as a Regional Nature Park. This region offers a wide range of opportunities for relaxation and exploration. Birdwatchers come from all over the world to observe waterfowl and migratory birds, while hikers, cyclists, and horseback riders enjoy the trails winding through the ponds. Hunting enthusiasts also find ideal terrain here, provided they practice responsible hunting. La Brenne is not only a nature reserve but also a vibrant region where nature and human activity have coexisted in harmony for centuries. It is an area known for livestock farming and fish farming, whose products are integral to the local cuisine. In this regard, the Michelin-starred Maison Dallais (La Promenade restaurant) is just thirty minutes away. In this area of scattered settlements, the property, nestled in its own grounds on the edge of a hamlet, enjoys absolute tranquility just three and a half hours from Paris. Nearby, just a few minutes from the château, lies Le Blanc, a charming little town with all the necessary shops and services. Just a little further on, in the beautiful Creuse Valley, Fontgombault Abbey is home to a vibrant Benedictine community. And less than thirty minutes away, heading toward Poitou, lies the spa town of La Roche-Posay, whose waters treat the most common skin conditions. The world-famous cosmetics of the same name are produced there. Poitiers, a major regional, university, and commercial city, is the area’s main hub. It’s just over an hour away. The orientation of the house has no doubt changed over time, as it is likely that the main entrance was previously through what is now the park. Indeed, the five-bay façade on this side has been given a more prestigious treatment than its counterpart on the courtyard side. Two ornate bossages, imitating columns, frame a magnified central bay. On the ground floor, the jambs of the entrance bay take the form of fluted columns supporting a fine lintel with a crenellated cornice. One storey above, the window lintel is decorated with a similar entablature, whilst two storeys higher, a monumental dormer with a pediment and wings emphasises this ostentatious centrality. The other openings and dormer windows on this façade, with similar but simpler decoration, create a sense of alignment emphasised by a simple string course, whilst marking the boundary between the residential storeys. In contrast, the addition of a projecting section in the early 20th-C. transformed the courtyard façade—with its three bays and simplified decoration—into the main façade. At the base, a flared plinth followed by three wide steps leads the visitor to an entrance, where a flat bossage frames the two levels of windows with arched lintels, separated by a lintel in the form of an inverted entablature. Through this entrance, one enters a beautiful, very light-filled hall, providing access to the various rooms on the ground floor. To the left, a corridor leads to a small bathroom with a toilet. In the centre, it opens onto the dining room via a connecting door, aligned with the exit to the grounds. Through this double-length room, which acts as a hub connecting all the spaces, you reach the large sitting room with a beautiful Empire-style fireplace and a herringbone parquet floor, another smaller sitting room followed by a pantry, and the park. Finally, to the right of the entrance hall, a long corridor passes the staircase to reach the large kitchen with a monumental fireplace, an indoor water well and a service entrance leading to the courtyard or the park. On the first floor, the first half-level comprises two bedrooms and a bathroom. The next half-level is organised around a long, light-coloured wooden corridor, in the 18th-C. style, which leads to three bedrooms and a study on the right, and a bedroom with a shower on the left. The latter is situated in the front section of the house, above the entrance hall. As shown on the plan, the first bedroom on the right has an en-suite bathroom, the second has a separate toilet, and the third has a shower room. Walk-in wardrobes have been fitted within the thickness of the walls. On the second floor, in the attic, the floor previously reserved for staff remains to be converted. The total living area is approximately 400 sqm. In the attic, the former servants’ quarters cover a total area of 134 sqm. The property comprises two main outbuildings: two wings of outbuildings flanking the main house. In the left-hand wing, there are four garages with a large loft space above, as well as a holiday cottage on two levels covering approximately 70 sqm. This cottage features a large living room with a fireplace, a kitchenette and a shower, and two bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower. Outside, a private terrace, an outdoor seating area and a barbecue area complete the property. In the right-hand wing is a large and beautiful old stable block with five stalls and three separate brood mares’ stalls. There is also a 140 sqm gîte on two levels, in need of restoration. Beneath this wing is a cellar housing the main house’s boiler room, its water tank and a utility room. The other outbuildings include the old, empty towers, a pole shed, a building known as a ‘bergerie’ (sheepfold) now used as a storeroom, and several small roofed structures. The grounds, covering an area of 5.3 acres, surround the property on three sides. At the rear of each wing, a meadow provides the necessary open space, whilst the wooded park, which features some fine trees and charming, shady groves, extends its green space to the west of the property.

Castle Chalmazel-Jeansagnière (42)

In the Loire, a medieval fortress listed as a historical monument. The property presents itself as a preserved architectural ensemble, whose silhouette stands out in the Forest landscape. The fortress is elevated to four levels, following a pentagonal plan with irregular sides. Each angle is flanked by cylindrical towers, except for the southeast angle which connects to the quadrangular keep. The five wings form an inner courtyard. Under the gabled roofs covered with canal tiles for the main residence, and the conical roofs of the round towers, the facades, made of granite rubble and light plaster, reveal a composition where mullioned windows, more recent openings, and fortification elements coexist. A walkway, supported by machicolations on consoles, runs along the top of part of the walls, while a Renaissance door bears witness to the transformations made when the stronghold was converted into a lordly residence. The whole thus narrates, in stone, several centuries of history and successive adaptations, without losing the nobility of its original character.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Castle Fontainebleau (77)

At 90 minutes from Paris, at the gates of Fontainebleau, this château occupies a site that the Court of François I already prized for its tranquillity: a bend in the Seine, on the edge of the royal forest. At a time when the river connected Paris to Fontainebleau more reliably than the roads, one arrived here by boat. The vast meadows lining the banks, the natural terraces and the stone steps leading down to the water still bear witness to this today. Built in the early seventeenth century by a physician close to Henri IV, the château passed in 1710 to the Comte de Toulouse, the legitimised son of Louis XIV and Madame de Montespan. An avenue linking the estate to the Palace of Fontainebleau was paved in 1726 to facilitate the visits of Louis XV, who would come here to see his great-uncle the Comte de Toulouse and share his passion for hunting. The château then passed to Louis XIV's grandson, the Duc de Penthièvre, who owned several residences in the vicinity of Fontainebleau and was especially fond of entertaining and hunting here. The estate comprises thirty hectares of woodland and meadows, with outbuildings, a kitchen garden, an orchard, and stone walls once devoted to the cultivation of chasselas, the golden table grape born of royal vine trellises in 1730 and grown along miles of walls until the last century. The property also benefits from two kilometres of private riverbank, where swimming and mooring are possible, entirely sheltered from view. The Forest of Fontainebleau enclosing the estate — its 25,000 hectares designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and a Natura 2000 site — naturally extends this parkland and its protected wildlife. Remodelled in the nineteenth century, the château has preserved its original volumes, with fine ceiling heights and an eighteenth-century enfilade layout. Its large, numerous windows flood every room with exceptional natural light. Versailles parquet, terracotta floor tiles, period fireplaces and window fittings lend it the authentic charm of a historic residence. Spanning 900 m² of living space across three levels, the château comprises seventeen bedrooms, twelve bathrooms, two drawing rooms, a library, a dining room and a large fitted kitchen. Having recently undergone a complete interior renovation, it now offers all the comforts of a contemporary home. The property also includes a large 200 m² house, a pavilion, a caretaker's cottage and an extensive range of outbuildings, offering strong potential for further development, forty-five minutes from Gare de Lyon. The estate's characteristics — its size, privileged setting, proximity to Fontainebleau and easy access to Paris — are assets that open up a range of possibilities. Whether as a primary or secondary residence, the estate lends itself equally well to an investment project: the restoration of the outbuildings and dependencies paves the way for a hotel, tourism or event-hosting venture.

Castle Montignac (24)

Commanding a hillside that formed part of a defensive line dating back to the Hundred Years' War, where the remains of an ancient watchtower still stand, and located close to a remarkable prehistoric site, this magnificent chateau, whose origins date from the 15th century, was elegantly remodelled during the 18th century. It has retained all the charm, authenticity and refinement for which the finest Perigord estates are renowned. A majestic driveway lined with centuries-old chestnut and lime trees leads to an enchanting carriage entrance with its adjoining pedestrian gate, set within an 18th-century stone facade beautifully weathered by time. Upon arrival, a courtyard of rare elegance reveals a residence of harmonious proportions and light-filled architecture. The honey-coloured Perigord stone captures the changing light, bringing subtle nuances to the facades throughout the day. The eye is immediately drawn to the imposing staircase tower linking the two wings of the chateau, arranged in an L-shape. Crowned with a conical pepper-pot roof, this cylindrical tower lends the property remarkable distinction and a particularly elegant silhouette, while also providing independent access to the upper floors. The main courtyard also features an ancient well, an impressive dovecote tower, a former chapel, several agricultural buildings, former stables converted into garages, and an old wine storehouse with magnificent vaulted rooms. Together, these buildings create a cohesive architectural ensemble that is both authentic and picturesque, enhanced by abundant greenery that contributes to the tranquillity and charm of the setting. Once owned by a renowned New York art dealer associated with Henri Matisse's son, the chateau offers approximately 450 sq m of living space. Its generous reception rooms include a beautiful entrance hall with a grand staircase, a study with fireplace, a spacious drawing room, a formal dining room, a more intimate dining room, and a large country kitchen with traditional cantou fireplace and utility room. The upper floors comprise five attractive bedrooms, while the attic spaces, crowned by remarkable boat-hull oak roof structures, offer exceptional scope for further conversion. The gardens, thoughtfully framed by the various outbuildings, create a harmonious and beautifully preserved environment. The estate includes two independent dwellings as well as a substantial collection of 18th- and 19th-century agricultural buildings. Rich in character and history, these outbuildings offer outstanding potential for a variety of projects, including guest accommodation, independent residences, reception venues, a concert hall or auditorium, exhibition galleries, artists' studios, or other hospitality and event-related uses. Extending to approximately 64 hectares (158 acres), the estate comprises woodland, farmland and former vineyards, offering a preserved natural environment and magnificent views over the rolling Perigord countryside. Rare for its authenticity, historical significance, architectural quality and the scale of its grounds, this exceptional property elegantly embodies the distinctive art de vivre of the great historic estates of the Perigord.

Castle Saint-Brieuc (22)

Réf. 4830: Listed castle, set within a 568 acres estate in the Côtes-d'Armor. This remarkable château, a true gem of Breton heritage, is situated in the Côtes d’Armor department, in the hinterland of Saint-Brieuc, at the heart of a 568 acres natural estate, largely wooded, which constitutes a rare example of the large landed estates of the 19th century. Although situated in an isolated and unspoilt rural setting, it is nonetheless accessible, a short distance from a charming medium-sized town with all amenities. The nearest beaches are 30 minutes away, and Paris is a 2-hour 20-minute journey by TGV. Built on the site of a former manor house dating from the 15th century, which was extended and remodelled in the 19th century in the Neo-Gothic style, this exceptional château embodies a perfect blend of fascinating, cohesive, historic architecture and the demands of modern living. Restored at great expense with remarkable attention to detail, it offers high-quality amenities in an authentic setting. At the end of a long, 1.4-kilometre avenue winding through the woods and passing close to the pond, the château, with its L-shaped layout, reveals its full grandeur. It immediately commands attention at first glance. Its façade is punctuated by mullioned windows and tall dormer windows with pointed gables; its polygonal tower is flanked by a turret on a lamp base, and the truncated tower in the inner corner forms the entrance staircase, these two towers reinforcing its exceptional character. Behind its elegant facades of dressed granite stone lie vast, light-filled reception rooms offering beautiful views of the surroundings. These rooms are enhanced by carefully preserved period features: a moulded entrance door with pinnacles and fleurons, monumental fireplaces, wood panelling, a grand staircase with balusters, and a spiral staircase. With 1,250 sqm of living space, comprising approximately 420 sqm per floor, the château features a large central entrance hall with a grand staircase leading to two adjoining living rooms, a dining room, a fitted kitchen, a study, a billiard room, a gym and two toilets. The ceiling height is 4.8 m (except for the mezzanine rooms). Two further staircases (one a granite spiral staircase, the other a straight service staircase) lead to the two upper floors, which feature 12 spacious bedrooms designed to offer a high standard of comfort, each with en-suite bathrooms and/or shower rooms, as well as a cinema and games room. On the first floor, the ceiling height is 3.9 m and on the second floor 3.2 m. All these rooms are cleverly laid out, spacious, and offer beautiful views of the park and woodland. The basement extends beneath the entire château and contains currently unused rooms, the boiler room, and the former kitchen with its fireplace. The laundry room is on the mezzanine level. Outbuilding : Designed in the 19th century on the model of large agricultural estates (model farms), the property was self-sufficient. This vast complex, covering approximately 2,500 sqm, comprises: - A remarkable U-shaped stable building (440 sqm), constructed from pink granite from Perros-Guirec, with the central section of the U covered in the Baltard style – a covered area used for harnessing the horses, topped by a clock tower. This building includes the carriage houses, the large and small stables, the stalls, the haylofts and the former grooms’ quarters. These buildings were ahead of their time, as they were equipped with ingenious and innovative systems: a medicine cabinet, a battery-powered telephone linked to the château, an oat dispenser, etc. - A model 19th-century farmstead forming a courtyard around which are situated a residential house (220 sqm), a dovecote, a shed for agricultural equipment, a cider press, a turret serving as a water tank, a henhouse and kennels. - A caretaker’s house located near the vegetable garden, in poor condition. - A forest lodge (95 sqm) in working order, currently let on a temporary basis as a hunting lodge for hunters. - A greenhouse situated in the large vegetable garden. - A farm comprising a residential building (99 sqm) and farm buildings, some of stone construction, others of the shed type. The property comprises grounds surrounding the château, the site of which is listed as a historic monument (see below) due to its high degree of historical integrity, representing the 19th century. The property is undulating, with a stream running through the centre that feeds into and flows through approx. 4.8 ares pond . The deciduous and coniferous woodland is covered by a Simple Management Plan covering an area of approx. 388 acres. In addition to the plan’s value as a tool for managing the forest, it allows for an IFI tax exemption amounting to three-quarters of its value. The farm buildings are leased under a rural tenancy agreement, comprising approx. 35 acres of land and meadows. A few approx. 126 acres of freehold land, mainly situated around the château, still allow for keeping one’s own livestock. The entire estate covers a total area of 568 acres, forming a beautiful, cohesive whole, although there are a few isolated plots of modest size. The following parts are listed on the Inventory of Historic Monuments : Château, outbuildings and grounds : listed by order of 1990 This property is a historic monument (allowing fiscal tax cuts if you pay taxes in France). It is rare to find such a comprehensive estate today, constituting a property that is exceptional in every respect.

Castle Marciac (32)

A former manor house with a 14th-15th century castle, hidden at the end of a private lane, with no neighbors, set on +3hectares of land surrounded by nature, offering 500m² of living space, outbuildings, and swimming pool – a true gem for history buffs. Ideally located for a family, couple, or hospitality project, discover the Gers region and walk in the footsteps of the lords of Pardailhan, Antras, Montesquiou, La Valette, Blaise de Montluc... and write your own story! The solid, human-scale main house features an 80m² living room, kitchen, seven bedrooms (two on the ground floor), sitting rooms, five bathrooms/shower rooms, laundry rooms, and anterooms in the former pepperpot huts. The original features are preserved and highlighted: hollowed-out half-timbering, terracotta tiles, French-style ceilings, stone and marble fireplaces, overmantel mirrors, watchtowers, latrines, Genoese-style eaves, interior wooden shutters, vegetable garden, sandstone, former moat... The imposing round tower underscores the site's original medieval past and conceals the stone spiral staircase that connects the floors. The French Revolution destroyed the coat of arms on the arch of the entrance door. The pursuit of authenticity does not preclude modern comforts: fiber optic sanitation, satellite internet, Lacanche range cooker... The approximately 3.5-hectare grounds are partially wooded, contributing to this sense of seclusion; the surrounding nature provides space, isolation, and complete privacy. The swimming pool is heated and secure, and its pool house is located in a former outbuilding. This historic site is discreet; finding it is a challenge. Living in Gascony means living in the Gers, where cultures and traditions naturally intertwine. A history marked by warfare, a vibrant present: Le Figaro has just featured the 'Jazz in Marciac' festival... the countryside coming to the rescue of culture... Shops, doctors, cinema, and community organizations are all just a stone's throw away. Unpack your bags! Tarbes-Lourdes airport and TGV station 40 minutes away, Toulouse 1 hour 30 minutes away.

Castle Rustrel (84)

This château, built around 1600, once belonged to the co-seigneurs of the region, establishing it within a feudal tradition where several noble families shared the rights and responsibilities of a single seigneury. This arrangement strengthened local influence and ensured collective management of the land. In the 19th century, the château became a literary retreat for Pierre Alexis Ponson du Terrail, who wrote parts of his famous serialized novel Rocambole here, giving the estate a unique character. The first of the current owner's lineage purchased the château as a hunting lodge, and each summer, the family from Marseille would come to stay and hunt. This ancestor was a devoted supporter of Count de Chambord, King Henri V, the last legitimate heir to the throne for royalists. This allegiance reflects the château's deep ties to French history. In 1920, an agricultural wing was added, designed by a renowned architect to form a complete farm estate. It includes a sheepfold, hay barns, several dovecotes, pigsties, kennels, a silkworm house, a washhouse, an old bread oven, vehicle spaces, a water cistern, and worker accommodations. The current owners continue to run this agricultural operation and lease the surrounding land. In the 1970s, modern comforts such as gas central heating, a new kitchen, and upgraded bathrooms were introduced. However, the original condition remains largely untouched, offering excellent restoration potential. Today, maintenance costs have become too high for the current owners, and, after seven generations, they reluctantly offer the estate for sale. Thanks to its rich past, the château and its agricultural buildings now offer a property of exceptional character, blending heritage, prestige, and authenticity, perfect for history enthusiasts and those who appreciate storied places. There are around 16 hectares of arable land, and the woods are managed by a simple forestry plan, to be continued by the buyer. With a renovation budget (for roofing, floors, plumbing, electricity, and sanitation), this property can be restored to its former splendor. This castle is located closeby a charming village of around 750 residents in the Luberon, Provence, offering a relaxed lifestyle. A bakery is just steps away, where the baker sells excellent bread, the grocery store offers local cheeses and charcuterie, and the terraces, brasseries, and restaurants under the grand plane trees provide a friendly atmosphere. The village is lively, with a post office, a nursery and primary school, a town hall, an antique store, a bistro, an inn, a pizzeria, pottery studios, and a few galleries. Nature is ever-present, with lavender fields, endless forests, the mountains behind the village, and the ochre cliffs offering breathtaking colors during each hike. The town of Apt, with shops, a high school, middle school, cinema, and restaurants, is 10 km away. The Avignon TGV station is about 1 hour 15 minutes away, and Marseille Airport is around 1 hour 30 minutes by car. Please feel free to contact me for more information and to schedule a viewing. I would be delighted to show you this exceptional property!

Surrounding it are a guest house (200 m²), a caretaker’s cottage (150 m²) and a 400 m² loft to be transformed according to your plans. A charming inner courtyard with its stone walls, a swimming pool, a chapel and, in the background, the Pyrenees. A rare, secluded place where everything begins.
