An estate to be restored, with outbuildings and 4.5 hectares of meadows and vines, 45 minutes from Bordeaux, on the outskirts of a village in the Gironde area. The estate is located in the heights of the village of which it is part, near to a street that runs past it. However, it is sufficiently far from any form of noise pollution. An earthen drive running past an hedge of hornbeams leads directly to it. The property is not fenced or walled, which would be superfluous, given the location set back from the road, the natural protective screen formed by the vineyards as well as the peace and quiet of the area. It is located in a semi-rural area, on mainly flat land, as is the case for the surrounding villages, standing between the Garonne River and its canal. This massive and noble stone residence with a tiled roof can be seen from the road, partially hidden by the estate’s rows of vines. It is made up of a rectangular main building with an adjoining, one-storey outbuilding set at a right angle to it, to the right-hand side of the house, on the eastern side, which is used as a store and a garage. Opposite, a hut houses the water pumping system, very near to the well. The grounds, including several hundred-year-old trees and notably a cedar planted in 1875 as well as copses of more recently planted shrubs, is made up of lawns stretching from the walls of the house to the vines to the northeastern side of the property. They account for approximately a third of the 4.3-hectare estate. The rest is made up of two plots of cultivated vines, separated by a tarmac road. The property has been in the same family since 1844 and is a recognised element of the region’s heritage, as proved by its classification as a picturesque site for the last 50 years by the local authorities.

A large, 18th & 19th century, estate awaiting renovation, with a chateau and outbuildings in 14 ha of parklands, meadows and woods in south Burgundy. The current structure of the estate, standing on the site of an old Seigneury, predominantly dates from the 18th and 19th centuries. It can be reached via various private roads, including the main driveway that goes around the landscaped parklands, bringing the symmetrical facade of the chateau into view. The outbuildings, comprising two houses and spaces fitted out for reception activities, delimit a courtyard which opens on to a large, walled vegetable garden. The entire property exudes peace and quiet, away from any noise or visual pollution. However, it is in need of major renovation works and a new lease on life for its history to continue.

An isolated 14th and 17th century castle divided into four homes, in the middle of 34 hectares of land in the Dordogne area, to the northwest of Périgueux. This estate, in the heart of a rural and undulating environment, away from large and medium-sized thoroughfares, is spread out over more than 34 hectares of meadows, organic farmland and woods. The buildings, located in the centre of this land, are surrounded by parkland and boast an inner courtyard, gardens, patios and an approximately 1-hectare orchard. The property benefits from uninterrupted 360° views. It is made up of a main edifice with two wings in an L-shape flanked by an imposing 14th-century round tower where they join, a farm with its various farm buildings near to the passing road and, lastly, set slightly away from the rest, a swimming pool with a view overlooking the surrounding nature. The rubble stone and ashlar façades are mostly rendered, with mainly rectangular doors and windows, some of which have mullions and transoms, while the mainly gabled roofs are made up of half-round or flat tiles. The main entrance to the property is formed by a drive, lined with hundred-year-old trees and a long farm building, that leads to an inner courtyard closed by a gate. A secondary entrance runs alongside a lawned, shaded parking area to the west wing of the castle.

A 17th-century chateau listed as a historical monument with a large outbuilding and splendid grounds looking out at the Rhône valley in France’s Drôme department. The local village was once a fief of the Poitiers-Valentinois family. It became part of the Kingdom of France at the start of the 15th century. The village had a chateau before this one. That old chateau was known as the region’s most important fortification, but it was destroyed in the French Wars of Religion. That was when a new chateau was built just outside the village, along the side of a road linking the village to the nearest town, a short distance north of it. Its location was not chosen at random: a spring lies beyond the ditches and it once filled up the property’s ponds and brought its fountains to life. A vast earthen terrace of more than one hectare is edged with embankments and dry moats. Upon it stand two fine edifices built in the style of the Italian Late Renaissance. The chateau towers in the middle of this grassy terrace. Construction of the chateau began in 1591. The edifice continued to be built during the second half of the 17th century. It is a large square-shaped structure with corner towers and a central inner courtyard. It has three levels and a floor area of over 1,300m². In front of the chateau, at the property’s entrance, stands an edifice that was built at the end of the 17th century. It is about 60 metres long and edges a road that runs along the other side of the moat. This structure is made up of a gatehouse flanked with two wings. This gatehouse controls access to the property. The whole building offers a floor area of around 450m². Together, the chateau and the gatehouse with its wings represent a splendid feat of architecture: a classic symmetrical layout going from east to west on an open, grassy terrace. Beyond this section of lawns on which the edifices stand, the grounds extend through meadows and woods over a naturally undulating area. The chateau has been listed as a historical monument since 1990 for its walls, roofing and interior decorative features.

An early 20th-century Art Nouveau chateau listed as a historic monument, set within 4 hectares of grounds in the heart of the capital of the Drôme. The building was constructed in the early 20th century at the request of Alfred Gayet, a mining engineer and inventor of a process for extracting and refining gold. To carry out this work, he was joined by the renowned architect Pierre Blein, with contributions from the painter Guillermin, the stained-glass artist Thomas, the interior designer Boulanger, and the landscape architects Luizet and Barret. The construction of the main house and its various outbuildings (caretaker’s house, farm buildings, dovecote and hydroelectric plant), as well as the landscaping of the grounds, were carried out between 1900 and 1904, under Blein’s direction. The chateau was adorned with Art Nouveau elements: remarkable painted decorations by Guillermin and Mangier, stained-glass windows from the Thomas workshop, and earthenware by Boulanger and Villeroy & Bosch. The residence, with its cut-stone facades and canal-tile roofs, comprises a central block and two wings at right angles, the right-hand wing featuring a rotunda and the left-hand wing a square tower. It has four storeys, including a basement with numerous cellars, and around 20 rooms spread across the three levels: a large entrance hall, two drawing rooms, games and reading rooms, a dining room, a kitchen and other utility spaces on the ground floor; a vast hall, five bedrooms and four bathrooms on the first floor; a spacious rotunda room, four staff bedrooms and five attics, one of which is convertible, on the second floor. The landscaped grounds, adorned with animal sculptures, cover 4.3 hectares and include a pond. Originally, canals were fed by the Épervière stream and led into a series of basins designed using the 'rocailleurs' method. It should be noted that the elements listed as historic monuments include the entire residence (interior and exterior), the grounds, the outbuildings, the caretaker’s house, the disused factory building and the dovecote.

A 15th-century chateau, its outbuildings, grounds and swimming pool, surrounded by 21 hectares of unoccupied land, along the outskirts of the Quercy region, twenty minutes from Brive-la-Gaillarde. In the 14th century, the lands owned by the de Chabannes family were transferred to Adhémar d’Aigrefeuille, Baron of Gramat, before the de Muzac family, whose patriarch was the King of France’s sergeant-at-arms, took possession of the estate in the next century, pledging his allegiance to the Viscount of Turenne in the process. Through marriages and successive inheritances, the fiefdom was then passed down to the de Tournier family of Corrèze, followed by that of the de Materre de Chauffour family, which owned it until 1870. Left abandoned for nearly a century, the dwelling was given a new life in 1966 when a painter and his wife bought the chateau, nearly in ruins, and undertook a large-scale restoration. From the wrought-iron gate, which indicates the estate’s formal entrance, a gravel lane traverses a large swath of lawn and leads to the property’s upper patio, the latter of which skirts the southeast exterior of the oldest of the three dwellings. Faithful to the origin of its name, the dwelling is made up of two adjacent edifices, which hug the land’s natural slope: the older of the two is located above the more recent construction, whereas the two wings are partially connected via a third dwelling abutting a square tower-dovecote. The upper edifice, from the late 15th century, is made up of a rectangular structure, the western part of which was completely reassembled with original materials recovered from the rubble after 1945, while a stately hexagonal tower, with a lauze slate tile roof, juts forward into the courtyard. In addition, mullioned windows, including two corner ones behind the dwelling, cadence its exteriors, whereas, in the interior corner of the second building, in all likelihood built in the late 17th century, a circular tower, completely rebuilt in 2025, is topped with a lauze slate roof. This same dwelling also features a balcony with balusters, supported by a basket-handle arch, while a series of dormers, crowned with finials, punctate the various rooftops – long, conical, pavilion and hipped – that have been deftly blended together. Lastly, slate and barrel tiles as well as tall chimneys, gracefully coiffed, create an overall aesthetic and aerial composition, whereas the outbuildings – a Limousin-style barn and a former hunting lodge – provide the finishing touches for this remarkable and historical estate.

A castle and its feudal keep with a 30-hectare estate in the heart of the Cévennes national park, in the south of Lozère. Formerly the stronghold of the Arnal family, who at the end of the 17th century owned most of the valley and the hamlet of Beaumelle, hence the name Arnal de la Beaumelle, the castle was burnt down in 1702 during the War of the Camisards. When it was rebuilt between 1730 and 1740, it became more residential. The keep still dominates the surrounding buildings and has a wonderful view over the valley. The complex consists of a castle resembling a feudal residence flanked by two towers, as well as a number of outbuildings destined for farming, including cowsheds, a shed for drying chestnuts and the remains of an old castle chapel. This mainly west-facing hilltop property commands the southern valley. Fed by two springs, the estate has developed over the last two centuries thanks to livestock activities and terraced crop cultivation on numerous sun-drenched terraces. At the edge of the stream, the property is completed by the ruins of an imposing mill powered by its water.

A 19th century chateau with 14.5 hectares of grounds surrounded by verdant countryside in north-west Isère. This vast estate, extending over approx. 14.5ha of gently sloping, uninterrupted land, consists predominantly of woodlands. A shady driveway leads to a large gravel parking area to the north-west of the main building. It then continues towards a courtyard in front of the chateau, where the woods give way to a large clearing. A secondary path followed by a flight of steps lead to a swimming pool on a plateau overlooking the forest. On the other side, a small wooden chapel is tucked away beneath the trees. This was originally a forest house linked to an ancient 16th century Cistercian abbey. After the French Revolution, it was used as the home of the steward responsible for managing the national forest. In 1888, a local grandee commissioned the architect Joseph-Étienne Mallaval to build a substantial four-storey extension. The chateau, which has undergone several periods of construction and renovation, stands on the north-eastern edge of the grounds. Its most striking external architectural features are those dating from the 19th century. The distinct, homogenous volumes of each section follow one another cascading down to the outbuilding, reflecting the different periods in which they were built. The adobe, pebble, rammed earth concrete and clinker block facades are rendered. The roofs, clad with slate, monk and nun or flat 'beaver tail' tiles are in good condition; they have all been renovated, with the exception of the roof of the 19th-century main building. Today divided into various lodgings spread over three levels, the building has a total floor area of approx. 870 m². It is currently used as tourist accommodation, benefiting from one of the most peaceful environmental areas.

A renovated 18th-century chateau with outhouses and over seven hectares of grounds, nestled in France’s Yonne department in Burgundy, between the towns of Chablis and Auxerre. The estate covers more than seven hectares of unbroken land. It is made up of meadows and woods. Three gates lead into the estate. One of them takes you to a car park for guests staying here. Indeed, the place today offers accommodation and dining. The chateau is neo-Gothic in style. It stands at the south end of the plot. The outhouses, which are more rustic in style, lie towards the north. The latter stand opposite one another, separated by a walled court with a lawn, shrubs and trees. The chateau was built in the 18th century. The outhouses date back to the 19th century. The elevations are made of dressed stone with rendering. The outhouses have pointing that leaves the stonework slightly exposed. Most of the windows are rectangular or slightly arched. They are set in surrounds of brick or dressed stone. The roofs, punctuated with dormers, roof windows and chimney stacks, are almost all covered with local flat tiles. Three of the chateau’s slopes are covered with slate tiles. The roofs have different shapes. The chateau has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. The three main outhouses, which can be lived in, were fully renovated in the 2010s and have a ground floor and a first floor.

A chateau from the 16th and 18th centuries, with its outbuildings, surrounded by 20 hectares of pastures and a pond, in the countryside of the Ognon River valley, not far from Besançon. Accessible via a country lane, an immense wrought-iron gate flanked by two stone columns opens on to the secluded property and its front courtyard around which the buildings – a chateau, a caretaker’s cottage and an immense 16th-century tower – are grouped together in a U shape. Next door, former stone farm buildings create a second enclosed courtyard with a separate entrance, while the chateau’s main façade, looking southward towards the grounds, is made up of a long symmetrical central building flanked by two turrets. As for the property, it is bordered to the south by the Ognon River and to the west by a 3-hectare pond, whereas, the chateau itself has undergone significant renovations in recent years, both in terms of its structural works as well as its finishing details, which could be continued depending on the next occupant’s plans for the premises.

An 18th-century mansion renovated as a hotel, with outbuildings, in 11-hectare wooded grounds boasting a pond, 1 hour 30 minutes from Paris. The estate comes into view at the end of one of the three avenues lined with hundred-year-old elm trees that lead to the grounds and main residence. In the inner courtyard, the property is demarcated by the historic perimeter as already indicated in 1708: 'on one side, there is a canal of running water and on the other, five to six acres or so of thickets making up the grounds of the said mansion, which is enclosed by walls, except for the part running along the length of the said canal which serves to delimit the edge of the property at this point'. The residence is made up of a main dwelling flanked by two pavilions and an annex extending forward from one of them. The façades are covered in beige rendering and enhanced by quoins as well as a number of belt courses and moulded cornices that underline each level. The main elevation boasts six vertical rows of openings. The central avant-corps features a large amount of rusticated masonry topped by a triangular pediment with a blocked bullseye window. The steep sloped slate roofs are punctuated with dormer windows. A stoop with a rounded double staircase leads up to the entrance. Lastly, visually aligned with the residence, there are modern outbuildings at the edge of the property, as well as a pond in a wooded area, all within the uninterrupted land of the estate.

A 13th-century chateau, its outbuildings and feudal vestiges between Brive-la-Gaillarde and the foothills of the White Périgord region. From the hamlet’s small square, a 150-metre no-through road, framed on either side by large outbuildings that partially mask the property, provides access to the chateau’s court of honour via a wrought-iron gate flanked by stone pillars. The property’s enclosure walls, the round tower with its Renaissance dormer window and the crystallised ruins of an ancient lookout tower, are the remaining vestiges of the early chateau dating from 1226, which was expanded in the 15th century with the construction of the three-storey main building and its square tower, and then restored in 1650, this last phase being accompanied by the construction of the mansard roof outbuildings as well. Facing east to west, the barlong-shaped main building has a hipped roof flanked on opposite corners by two towers, one round and topped with a pepperpot roof and the other square with a pavilion roof. The three-storey façades of this classical-style dwelling, in lime-pointed rubble stone, are cadenced by many tall casement cross-windows with ashlar stone surrounds. The façade also has two sets of double glass doors with semi-circular spoked fanlights as well as two bull’s-eye windows, and is topped with a rounded dormer window on one side, which dynamically highlights a central row of windows. Two monumental chimneys rise up from this side of the roof as well, while the towers’ façades are punctuated by small windows, oculi and glass doors. All the windows and doors are safeguarded by single or double-leaf wooden shutters, with the exception of the mullion dormer window topped with a triangular pediment and a pinnacle that crowns the vertical row of windows on the chateau’s northern gable end. With two hectares of land, the property’s buildings were all constructed out of blond limestone and topped with Allassac slate roofs. Adjacent to the round tower and extending on from the main dwelling, a two-storey outbuilding, used mainly as housing, faces a triangular domestic outbuilding, which encloses the grand courtyard on one side. The latter is extended to the south by a large rectangular, landscaped patio, which provides the chateau’s western façade with a panoramic view, while from the chateau’s eastern façade, the grounds bordered by a gravel area reveal swathes of woodlands that extend towards the south. Lastly, an immense right-angle outbuilding used for agricultural purposes is located on the other side of the drive.

A listed 18th-century chateau with medieval origins, outhouses and grounds, tucked away on the hills of France’s Drôme department, in the south-east of the country. The chateau and its outhouses form a coherent series of buildings in the middle of tree-dotted grounds, which lie slightly above the road that leads to the local village. The chateau is rectangular in shape with an adjoining tower at each corner and a square keep that adjoins the northern elevation. It offers a 720m² floor area and has a ground floor, a first floor, a second floor and a third floor. Multi-sloped roofs with old tiles bear witness to successive construction projects on the edifice. The stone elevations display pale-ochre pointing. They are punctuated with both evenly spaced windows and older openings too, reflecting the edifice’s evolution over the centuries. A straight driveway runs through the grounds to the outhouses, which are set back. There is a former stable, an orangery, a barn and a woodstore. They are arranged around a courtyard. Tall trees form a natural barrier that separates the chateau from its immediate surroundings. A vast terrace stretches southwards and a landscaped garden slopes gently down to lower land. The whole complex was designed as a seigneurial estate but on a limited scale, with each building playing a role in a well-structured arrangement.

A chateau from the late 17th century, listed as a Historical Monument, its outbuildings and equestrian facilities on 18 hectares of grounds, near Sablé, between the Sarthe, Mayenne and Maine-et-Loire departments. Two drives lead to a carriage entrance topped with a pediment that opens onto a grand courtyard. On one side, is the chateau and, on the other, an immense outbuilding, both façades of which are punctuated by pruned yew trees, while a covered well is located in the centre. The current chateau corresponds to the former abbatial dwelling: this is where the Abbot resided, in the western wing of the abbey that once stood here. During the 18th century, the court was at Versailles and the buildings were spruced up and converted so they could be rented out, therefore providing the abbey with some revenue. With three storeys, including an attic level, the chateau is made out of plaster-coated stone and rubble stone. On the side facing the grounds, its slate hipped roof is cadenced by four bull’s-eye windows, while, on the side facing the courtyard, there are three attic dormer windows grouped together under a single pediment in addition to four other dormer windows. Both the chateau’s east and west exteriors are crowned with a pediment on their roofs, which is then repeated above the central entrance on each side. With window and door surrounds decorated with smooth rusticated stonework, the three doors on the chateau’s façade are topped with either curvilinear or triangular pediments, while its quoins, cornice and dormer windows are made out of ashlar stone. Inside, the chateau has conserved its original décor: cartouches, medallions, chimneybreasts, decorative window and door surrounds, wood panelling, marble and stone, while the size of the magnificent rooms as well as their floor-to-ceiling height add to the chateau’s overall grandeur. In addition to the topiary garden on the chateau’s eastern side, there is also a dovecote, orchard, vegetable garden, ornamental trees and a stream, which is straddled by an old bridge flanked by the columns of an ancient carriage entrance. All around, the grounds are made up of pastures, tall trees and a small wood, while equestrian facilities have been created to the west of the outbuilding, on the side facing the grounds. These include wooden paddocks, a riding ring and an area for the horses to rest and relax. The carriage entrance, the chateau’s exteriors as well as its entrance hall, vast living room, dining room and seven bedrooms are listed as national historical monuments as are the well and bridge, while the outbuilding’s exteriors and the dovecote are registered as regional historical monuments.

In Umbria, a medieval castle with a 35-metre tower, in need of renovation, situated between Lake Trasimeno, Perugia and Cortona. Before roads, before maps, before Umbria became a name on a sign, this tower was used to keep watch. Thirty-five metres of stone raised by men who knew that the landscape was a matter of survival. The castle that stands beside it has weathered the centuries with the same silent determination. Lake Trasimeno glistens below. The Tuscan hills close in on the horizon. Nothing in this setting was built to please, everything was built to last. The interiors are still awaiting their final chapter. It is as much a responsibility as it is a freedom.

At the end of a long driveway stands this beautoful château steeped in history, nestled in the heart of the Gascon countryside, in a preserved and natural setting. Set on nearly 19.5 hectares of land, this remarkable estate captivates with its timeless elegance, peaceful surroundings, and rare architectural heritage. A chapel dating back to 1607, whose keystone still bears its original inscription, reminds us of the ancient parish that once existed on this site. The property remained in the hands of prominent families for centuries, including that of Antoine de Coux, Bishop of Condom, and the d'Anglade d'Autièges family, until it was sold in 1788. The château was then preserved by their descendants for over a century before being passed on to other local families. Today, the château offers a renovated ground floor of approximately 280 m², featuring a spacious entrance hall, a grand and light-filled dining/reception room with monumental fireplace, a warm and inviting living room with fireplace, a functional kitchen, a library with fireplace, three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a shower room.
