Ref.4807 : 15th-C. chateau with moats and a dovecote set in a 7,7 acres park in Burgundy The château is situated on the outskirts of a small, vibrant town in Burgundy, within the Nièvre department, home to 3,600 inhabitants and traversed by three waterways, including the Nivernais Canal and the Yonne River. An ancient medieval town and former capital of timber rafting, it has been described as the “Venice of the Nièvre” by the writer Romain Rolland. It lies at the heart of the Vaux d’Yonne and on the threshold of the Morvan. Vézelay is 20 km away, and Auxerre is 44 km distant. A railway station connects the town to Paris in just under three hours, while the capital can be reached by car in approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes. The town has preserved a remarkable medieval heritage, notably a collegiate church regarded as a jewel of Gothic art, alongside several half-timbered houses dating from the 15th and 16th C.. All essential shops are available, including grocery stores and organic producers, together with a local producers’ market. The town has successfully maintained its full range of public services and continues to foster a vibrant cultural life, with a media library, a museum, and a cinema. From the street, a tree-lined avenue leads to the chateau entrance. It is surrounded by magnificent moats that are still filled with water, fed by the River Sauzay. They are between 8 and 20 metres wide and are largely stone-built. A stone bridge dating from the 15th C., the only access to the château, spans the moat. The entrance, opposite the bridge, is through a carriage gate in the middle of a square tower. The terrace, on which the château stands surrounded by its moat, covers nearly 3,500 sqm and offers perfect tranquillity and privacy. To the right of the square tower stands the chateau and to the left a residential wing. These two buildings are connected at the first floor level. Once through the porch, we discover the large terrace surrounded by water and a garden planted with beautiful trees. A circular corner tower, featuring a secondary 15th-C. stone spiral staircase, provides access to the first floor of both the chateau and the dwelling. These are identical in appearance and height; the façades are lime-plastered, the corner buttresses are stone, and the roofs are covered with perfectly maintained old flat tiles. All the windows are fitted with solid wooden shutters. French windows provide direct access to the garden from all the ground floor rooms. The château faces north-west and south-east. The interior of the château has largely retained its original layout and has undergone few alterations, except for a discreet extension on the west side during the 19th–C., which is virtually imperceptible. On the ground floor, from the small entrance hall, one is immediately confronted by a wide 15th-C. staircase crafted from Burgundy stone, adorned with an ornate wrought-iron balustrade. To the right, a passage leads to a spacious kitchen/dining room of 31 sqm, featuring two windows and a French door opening onto a terrace at the edge of the moat. The floors are laid with traditional terracotta tiles, the ceilings are of exposed beams, and there is an original stone fireplace. To the left of the hall, two elegant, through reception rooms of 33 and 39 sqm each enjoy marble fireplaces and direct access to the garden. One of these rooms boasts a herringbone parquet floor. The ceiling height throughout is three metres. Behind the staircase are a pantry, a laundry/heating room, and a WC. On the first floor, there is a 25 sqm study, five bedrooms ranging from 10 to 26 sqm, two bathrooms with WC, and a dressing room that could easily be converted into a bathroom. A large billiard room of 42 sqm features two French doors, an exposed-beam ceiling, and a grey Saint-Anne marble fireplace. Above this level lies a spacious attic of nearly 120 sqm, with five dormer windows and impressive timbering, offering numerous possibilities for additional accommodation—bedrooms, bathrooms, or a games room. Finally, a stone spiral staircase provides access to the second floor of the square tower, opening into a charming 13 sqm through-room, reminiscent of a lookout, with views either toward the entrance or the park. The château as a whole is meticulously maintained and exudes considerable charm. The total surface area, including the attic, amounts to 430 sqm. Outbuildings : THE DWELLING Located on the opposite side of the square tower, forming an L-shaped wing of the château, this annex occupies approximately 90 sqm over two levels, with an attic. A charming entrance, paved with antique terracotta tiles, leads to the left into a spacious reception room of around 40 sqm, featuring a large French door opening onto the garden. The floors are of terracotta, the ceiling displays exposed beams, and there is a stone fireplace. Opposite, a kitchen provides access to a terrace along the edge of the moat, followed by a pantry and a bathroom. Upstairs, accessed by a wooden staircase, there is a large bedroom or games room of approximately 45 sqm, with a beautifully crafted French-style ceiling, and it is connected to the square tower. Additionally, there is another attractive bedroom with wooden floors and a bathroom. This annex, totaling about 180 sqm, is full of charm. It could serve as a guesthouse or children’s residence, or alternatively be adapted for commercial use such as a bed-and-breakfast or holiday rental. THE DOVECOTE Situated slightly apart from the château, yet still within the terrace/garden enclosed by the moat, the dovecote is an impressive, square-plan building spanning three levels. Its corners are reinforced with stone, and it features a well-maintained four-sloped roof covered with traditional flat tiles. At present, the ground floor serves as a workshop. Land : Covering a total area of 7.7 acres, the property comprises a garden terrace surrounded by a moat, meadows beyond the moat, and, on the other side of the Sauzay stream, a woodland area of approximately 15,000 sqm. The immediate neighbours are the old farmhouse to the east and the old mill to the west. The setting is idyllic, with unobstructed views of the countryside and wooded hillsides. The property is perfectly peaceful, free from any nuisance and very well maintained. The garden terrace features some beautiful trees. There is also a well and a wooden canopy.

If you are looking for a ‘statement’ property and love large light-filled rooms and endless views, this is the perfect place for you. This property is impressive in every way; the pristine stone façade on all sides, the spacious well-proportioned courtyard, the natural spring bubbling up from the rocks beneath the orangery, the views, the large light-filled rooms. Even the swimming pool has a private park of over 1,500 m²! There are two entrances to the property; from the front of the house, we can pass through an electric gate and drive up the approximately 500 metre tree-lined drive, catching glimpses of the chateau as we progress. For the day-to-day school or shopping runs, there is another semi-private road that arrives at the back gates, which are framed by an ancient stone archway. Once past the gates, there is ample parking in the courtyard. Here, we can access the main house through the front door, or a side door that leads to the kitchen. We enter the front door from the enclosed courtyard, into a wide hall that runs along the back of the house, leaving all the reception rooms to face the front. The front hall leads to a good-sized study with double doors leading outside. From here, we can access all the reception rooms ‘en enfilade’. This room would make an ideal library. Here too, we can access the large terrace that runs the length of the front of the house, offering panoramic views of the château park and the valley. This is the ideal spot to sit and sip an aperitif in the evening and watch the birds swooping across the sky above the rolling hills. On the right of the study is the dining room, with double aspect windows, a fireplace, and parquet flooring. Off the dining room is a good-sized kitchen with a large open fireplace, access to the courtyard and a small pantry. This is the main kitchen, as it is close to the dining room, but for serious cooks there is a second, much larger kitchen on the other side of the house, which we will come to later. There are two main salons, both with stunning views, parquet floors and fireplaces. These are lovely spaces to sit and relax; one of them could be a good games & TV room and the other one could be used for receiving guests, or just to read a good book curled up on a comfortable sofa. At the far end of the house, we come to the 53 m² bar/party room. This room has attractive wooden floors and doors leading to the terrace, and is the ideal spot for a big family reunion, a children’s party or a disco themed fête on a summer evening. There is already a large wooden bar with a sink and room for a half-sized fridge – and plenty of space to keep drinks and glasses. It even has his & hers WCs! A room behind the bar could be used as a billiard room or even a very large mudroom – as it opens on to a side terrace on the pool side of the house. Beyond this room is another guest WC, a door that leads to the cellars, and at the far end, an enormous (56 m²) second kitchen with fireplace and 4 sets of doors leading outside. First floor Having toured the ground floor in a wide circle, we come back to the main hallway where a well-proportioned wooden staircase leads to the first floor. The first floor is in symmetry with the ground floor. A wide landing runs the length of the house and there are windows overlooking the courtyard. All but one of the bedrooms faces the view, and all have large windows to catch the light. On the left, once you go up the stairs, is the largest of six bedrooms, all with private bath or shower rooms. This first bedroom has a large bathroom with a traditional free-standing bathtub and a separate shower. The sink, bidet and WC all have a pretty flower pattern on them, and there is a window. The bedroom measures over 55 m², and has two large windows and carpeted floors. It has a half-wall that could form a separate dressing room, but this would be a quick job to tear down and restore the original proportions. The floor here is carpeted. Opposite this room a locked door leads to an unfinished room that can then connect to the first floor of the outbuildings. All this could be finished to provide more living space, but so far, the present owner has not felt the need to expand. As we walk down the corridor, there are two further en suite bedrooms, both facing the garden and the stunning views. Both have big closets and parquet flooring. Further along the hallway, the fourth bedroom is smaller than the others, and the bathroom needs some work. It is also the only bedroom that does not face the front of the property. The floor here is carpeted. Bedroom five is spacious and has a good-sized shower room. The floors are parquet and there are two windows. Bedroom six is bigger (30 m²) and has a marble fireplace and parquet flooring. It also has two windows facing the wonderful views and a large bathroom with both a shower and a bathtub. A door in the back hall opens to reveal a staircase leading down to the extensive cellars built into the rock. Here we find the oil-fired furnace that heats the house. There is a long room with a vaulted ceiling that could make an impressive wine cellar, a large storage room and another long room with doors to the garden, followed by two smaller spaces. There is so much space here, and as there are several large doors opening to the garden, this part of the house could be used for a variety of things, including garden equipment storage, a wine cellar or tasting room, a winter greenhouse…there are many possibilities. The grounds here form the perfect setting for the house itself. There are stone terraces on all sides, and a natural spring feeds the large ornamental fishpond in front of the house. This spring is one of the unusual elements in the property. It is accessed by an open-air stone staircase that goes down into a cave where a basin has been carved out of the rock. Water bubbles out of a corner of the rock all year round, we are told, and feeds the ornamental pond in the grounds. This is a magical space and it is easy to imagine that generations of chateau dwellers have come down here to cool off in the summer heat or just to look at the bubbling water and be soothed by its music. There is also a large wooded area on one side of the property and a number of beautiful mature trees in the park area. Behind the main building, through the archway below the tower, there is a grassy area and a side terrace. Here is where the main driveway comes up to the house, and here is the gate to the separate garden which contains the swimming pool. There are lovely views here too, and the area is very peaceful. The large pool offers two separate areas; one to play water polo or just relax, and another part to swim laps. There is a Mediterranean-style pool house with an enclosed patio and a built-in BBQ, and inside the house is a small kitchen area, room for a fridge, a WC and a shower. So, you can spend the day by the pool and still have cold drinks, snacks and even lunch without going back to the house! The property is built in a U-shape, so that all one side comprises the chateau, and it is attached to the outbuildings via a large back kitchen with a room to renovate above, followed by a charming tower with an arched passageway leading to the back terraces, the main driveway, and the pool area. On the other side of the U is an estimated 200 m² building comprising a series of large rooms, several with vaulted stone ceilings, and a space above with windows. On the courtyard opposite the kitchen, there is also a separate 50 m² stone building that currently serves as a rather magnificent laundry room. Attached to it is an enclosed area of about 50 m² that has served in the past as an orangery. There is a small guardian’s cottage to renovate completely which is attached to the outbuildings and accessible both from the barns and from a door on the other side of the back entry gates. This property could make an amazing family home, which in fact it has been in recent years. It could also lend itself to any one of a number of projects, from a luxury B&B to an art or yoga retreat. It is big, but on a human scale, and the rooms don’t overwhelm; rather they invite you in. It is an ideal house for entertaining, and will appeal to a wide variety of clientele. We fell in love with the wonderful views and the elegance of the park with its beautifully proportioned ornamental pond reflecting the façade of the house. The sense of light and space in both the reception rooms and the large bedrooms is just magical, and we were itching to offer suggestions on how to decorate and furnish this property to bring out the best in it. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The information relating to the property, including but not limited to its surface area, condition, features and technical equipment (including, without limitation: heating systems, electrical installations, plumbing, drainage, swimming pool, security systems, and any other equipment), is provided for information purposes only, based on the elements and statements supplied by the seller.

On the edge of the Alpilles Regional Natural Park lies a privileged place. Spectacular, unique, and refined, a castle gradually reveals its true soul, its mysteries, and an extraordinary history.

Formerly owned by a noble family, the building proudly displays its Renaissance-style facade and its evolution through the centuries, from the Middle Ages to the 18th century. Extremely rare, a charming 19th-century consecrated chapel patiently awaits its next wedding behind its majestic bronze doors.

This sumptuous château is found in the heart of Gascony, in the rich and diverse Armagnac region, at an equal distance between Bordeaux and Toulouse (1h45). On the home lands of d ’Artagnan, the estate sits in an elevated position with far-reaching views across the valley. Surrounded by fields bursting with an ever-changing tapestry of colour in the summer months, from the vibrant yellows of the sunflowers, to the neat rows of green vines, the property is situated just a few minutes distance from the picturesque village of Montréal (one of our favourite villages in the Gers) and just a ten minute drive to the larger town of Condom, with its many shops and restaurants. This region is one of the most highly sought-after in Gascony, with visitors driving out here from Lectoure and Condom, Bordeau or Toulouse throughout the year. This is an area world-famous for its music festivals (Condom and its traditional Bandas festival, or Marciac for its renowned jazz festival in the world). Long hot summer evenings are brought to life by colourful night-markets, and many other events throughout the year which ensure that this is a lively area in which to live throughout the winter months as well as the lovely long hot summers. The château is located on the edge of a small hamlet, and sits in private parkland. On arrival, we follow the beautiful stone walls of the gardens, the original ramparts of the château which border the property and can be seen from afar. A traditional wrought- iron gate between two stone pillars marks the entrance. From here onwards, as we enter through the gate, one has an immediate sense of magic as we enter the grounds. A private alley cuts through a line of elegant trees. We pass the guardian’s house, and two cottages, reaching a private driveway at the top where we catch our first glimpse of the Chateau. To the side and the rear of the Château a vast 12ha stretch of land flanks the estate. The parkland itself is filled with a rich variety of mature trees. To each side the fields and pasture is currently tended to by a local farmer. Visible even from up above at the Château one can clearly see a young vineyard, below, planted by the current owners. On an architectural note… The château dates back to the second half of the 19th century, and was once home to a religious order set up by the Pères Prémontrés. The property is built in the shape of an “L” with beautiful golden coloured stone walls and Parisan style persiennes shutters painted in muted tones of elegant grey. Sunshine dapples the walls from the south, the east and the west. There are roses and many varieties of shrubs everywhere you look. The property comprises two main wings, linked on the ground floor, the basement and the first floor. The main house has been lovingly restored by its current owner who is an interior designer. The renovated wing is the southern wing blessed by a beautiful flow of light from the south, north and west it bathes the rooms with natural light throughout the day from its tall windows. The property has undergone a tremendous programme of works supervised by an architect an expert in historical buildings, but as we shall see in more detail later, this property has the advantage of comprising a second as yet non-restored wing : the western wing. The additional Western wing, restored this year, would lend itself perfectly to parties (a large party room), weddings, or summer lettings. The Southern Wing The entrance A small flight of stone stairs on the northern side separates a courtyard from the majestic entrance, with its turning staircase and doorway onto a beautiful courtyard on the southern side. This south-facing courtyard is graced with a burst of pink blossom from its trees in spring. A long hallway on the northern side leads to the kitchen, a drawing-room and a laundry-room. On the other side there is a second reception room and the guest cloakroom and WC. The ceilings are high and the floors lain with stone tiles. The elegant, sculpted cast-iron radiators throw out additional heat, in addition to the under-floor heating in the entrance hall. The lighting system at the château is particularly well designed, and the property is a delight to visit in the evenings, when on arrival the lights twinkle as they might from The Great Gatsby’s home. The perfect backdrop for a summer party. Reception Room 1 : As with every room in the château the ceilings are high and the tall windows allow one a sweeping view over the valley and across the Gascon countryside. A stone fireplace and double doors divide the first reception room from the kitchen, both rooms are lain with the same stone floor tiles. Reception Room 2 : With a warm and inviting interior this room is a perfect evening room and has the same lovely views, and also a stone fireplace. Cloakroom & Guest WC At the far end of the entrance hall, discreetly positioned behind a carefully designed cloakroom wall we find the spacious guest lavatory and washbasin. The kitchen, Rear kitchen, Laundry-Room It would be more apt to say that the kitchen is yet another grand reception room. Warm and inviting, majestic in size with a long table to welcome guests or for breakfast with views across the valley, this kitchen is the heart of the property and spacious enough to host a large gathering. French doors open on the garden on the western side, where guests can dine under the plane trees and look over the fabulous stone ramparts and balustrades to the stunning views across the valley. Guests are provided with a backdrop view of the medieval ruins of the original château, and the pigeonnier or dovecote. A grand central island with spacious work surface place for big bowls of food prepared on the AGA. The rear kitchen/ scullery is also directly accessible from the garden and the main kitchen and is equipped with a traditional oven. This is an ideal space to be used by caterers serving food in the garden or interior. In the hallway on the other side of the kitchen a door with a beautiful sculptured wooden surround opens onto the laundry room. The First Floor : Bedrooms Opposite the courtyard entrance an impressive stone staircase turns upwards to the first floor, leading to a spacious landing and a second long hallway that runs above the ground floor hallway. All the bedrooms have parquet flooring. At the top of the landing to the right, two bedroom with ensuite shoer rooms and fitted wardrobes with decorative doors from old French armoirs. To the left of the landing there is a third ensuite bathroom with views to the south, and a long hallway leading to a vast parental suite which is one of the most spacious bedrooms and bathrooms we have yet to see in Gascony. The master bedroom suite comprises a vast bedroom with five tall windows, a double dressing room and a bathroom with a double sink, shower and oval bathtub. The Western Wing At the far end of the downstairs entrance hall, close to the entrance to the kitchen, a set of double doors opens onto the western wing comprising two floors with around 400m2 space for further development with planning permission.

Normandy - Near Dieppe - An exceptional place linked to Impressionism In Normandy, in the Seine-Maritime department (76), near the chalk cliffs of the Pays de Caux, John Taylor is delighted to present for sale an exceptional property: the « Château de Wargemont », an estate considered the last of the great Impressionist sites still in private hands. The 25 acres property, described by the American Mary Cassatt as “a pretty place, an English park, rather isolated”, is strongly associated with the life and work of Pierre-Auguste Renoir, for whom it served as a vacation spot, studio, and meeting place with the most important collectors of his time. It has come down to us in its original 18th- and 19th-century condition. The manor house, listed and classified as a historic monument, houses the only Impressionist decor, by any master, remaining in its original location: the Two Hunts, painted by Renoir directly on the woodwork of the dining room (listed as a historic monument in 1993). A remarkable and human-scale ensemble, typical of the residences of the peers of France in the early 19th century, strongly influenced by exile in England during the post-Revolutionary period. The main 18th-century building, made of brick and flint, was completed with two wings in the early 19th century. One was intended to house the rare books from the library of Philippe-Antoine Merlin de Douai. Most of the rooms are associated with important paintings by Renoir, now exhibited worldwide. Upstairs are several suites and bedrooms. The attic is insulated and partly converted with staff rooms, linen room, and attics. A chapel, a walled vegetable garden with an orangery, a pond and greenhouses, as well as an orchard, form part of the romantic route offered by the 25 acres park with its original layout. It features a large number of rare and centuries-old species: purple beeches, sequoias, oriental plane trees, cedars, etc. Rose bushes known to Renoir during his stays still grow in the estate's vegetable garden and are currently being studied. Renoir spent long summers here, mainly in the 1880s and 1890s, which led to important commissions and some of the artist's most significant works. Scholars consider this period to be the happiest in his career. Mary Cassatt, Monet, Jacques-Émile Blanche, and Caillebotte, among others, were also visitors during the heyday of Impressionism. Patrons and collectors Charles Deudon, Victor Chocquet, and Charles Ephrussi were regulars.

A superb oak staircase with wrought-iron banisters serves the floors, where seven bedrooms and their bathrooms are elegantly arranged. Its most striking architectural feature remains its red brick corner tower, crowned with crenellations and decorative machicolations — a true heritage signature of the place —, connected to the main building by a bright glazed winter garden, carefully built and accessible to people with reduced mobility. The whole is set in a wooded park of about 2 hectares, enclosed by walls and wire fencing, ensuring absolute privacy: an 80 m² terrace, pool, pond, and century-old trees make up an exceptional green setting, just a stone's throw from a lively town offering all amenities (shops, train station, hospital, schools). Modern comfort is fully assured: heat pump, photovoltaic panels, automatic gate, double-glazed wooden joinery, composite shutters, attic insulation, well, two-car garage, and a barn in good condition. An exceptional character residence in the heart of Bourbonnais, ideal for a family seeking space and history, or for an investor wishing to develop a bed and breakfast or charming tourism project.
