Luxury houses with pool for sale Aspet, France

A large bourgeois house from the early 19th century and its grounds with swimming pool, one hour from Toulouse, in the Comminges region. The property is accessible from the street via a large gate, which opens onto a small drive. The staff lodgings, which could be included in the sale, have been restored and are located along the wall that separates the two buildings. The manor house, built in 1870, has either two or three storeys, depending on its various volumes, and is topped with single-pitch, gable, three-sided and hipped slate rooftops. Built out of ashlar stone and covered in ochre-colour plaster, three rectangular sections or foreparts as well as a square tower make up the asymmetrical and elegant building, the various features of which recall the Gothic Revival style. With an exterior designed in such a way as to provide the dwelling with both its character and identity, its light-colour ashlar stone pilasters with smooth rusticated stonework and sharp corners accentuate its various angles. The house’s colourful friezes with geometric patterns in blue, red and cream, crenels and stone or zinc mouldings along the cornice, wraparound stringcourses as well as the roofs’ projecting eaves, all contribute to the building’s overall elegant appearance and characteristic ornamental grace. The pinkish ochre of its exterior walls highlights all of its decorative elements, while the plain stone or beige-colour plaster-coated window and door surrounds, corners, foundation and stringcourses showcase the structure of the architecture’s volumes. The manor’s large-paned windows and doors, mainly rectangular in shape, have flat or moulded surrounds, some of which are highlighted by a windowsill, an entablature, fanlights or a balcony with a stone guardrail for those facing south, while the tower, with mostly rounded or dropped arch windows, is illuminated by triple windows on each side of its top floor. In addition, a round oculus crowns the manor’s central second-floor window to the south and an arched window overlooks the rectangular glass doors that open onto the first-floor patio facing east.

A 12th-century chateau with ramparts and 15 hectares of grounds, listed as a historical monument and looking down over a valley by the Pyrenees mountains. From a bird’s-eye view, the chateau seems to be perched atop a wooded hill like a sentry looking out across the undulating landscape of France’s Couserans province. Around the chateau, there is a patchwork of gently sloping meadows, woods and fields that lines the serrated horizon of the Pyrenees mountains. Your gaze, first struck by the relief of the land, is eventually drawn to the oval form of the chateau’s enclosing wall that encircles a plain mass of barrel-tiled roofs and pale stone elevations. All aspects of this chateau give the impression of a calm, dense, unshakeable unit. As you leave the local village to approach the chateau, the modern world fades away. The road becomes a country lane and later becomes a shady track. The driveway to the chateau is flanked with oaks and beeches and edged with stone bollards crowned with orbs and linked with a chain. This driveway seems like a formal route, rigorously plotted and solemnly discreet. There is no showy gate here, but just the murmur of the wind, sunrays filtered through leaves and a rare feeling of slowly ascending to a dwelling inhabited by something other than everyday life. At last, the chateau’s facade comes into view between the trees. Plain yet welcoming, the chateau adjoins its rampart like a hand fitting into a glove. A door in an arch that cuts through the full thickness of the enclosing wall marks the entrance. Beyond this archway, you find yourself in an inner court, some of which is grassy. Here you can see different tokens of the chateau’s past: a well dug into the rock, the Romantic ruins of outhouses waiting to be brought back to life, a square tower, adjoining annexes and successive recesses of architecture that has adapted over time without ever betraying its origin. The chateau was built in the 12th century. In the 17th century, it was turned into a summer holiday home. Today it is listed as a historical monument. The chateau has kept its structural coherence and residential design.
