In the north of Lot, within the walls of a medieval city, there is a family and pleasure house from the 13th, 17th, and 19th centuries and its hanging gardens. On the heights of the causse overlooking the Dordogne valley, near the gates of the Regional Natural Park of the Causses du Quercy, recognized as a UNESCO Global Geopark, Martel is organized around a center with remarkably preserved architectural heritage. Pedestrian alleys, blonde stone houses, and small squares compose a harmonious ensemble where shops remain plentiful. The town, lively all year round, reveals itself at the rhythm of its markets highlighting local products and regular cultural events. It offers all necessary amenities for daily life, as well as health services and educational structures, in one of the most preserved environments of Quercy. Near the Halle square and the Palais de la Raymondie, the house occupies the corner of two streets, one of which allows for a tour around the old center, still marked in places by the layout of what was once its protective enclosure. Here stands the residence, which has origins dating back to the 13th century, when the city established its commercial role and fortified its boundaries. Made into a more comfortable civil dwelling in the 17th century, and restructured in the 19th century, it today retains a stratified architecture, a discreet witness to the long history of the town. Situated in a dominant position, it benefits from beautiful brightness and open views of the surrounding countryside, perceptible from the windows as well as from the two gardens.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Between Bordeaux and Toulouse, just 10 minutes from a charming Gers town, there is a listed medieval tower, restored, along with its dwelling. A small winding road through the fields leads to a hamlet of just a few souls. The medieval tower of the property, which stands out from the landscape, is located at the entrance of the group of houses, away from view with no neighboring properties. The plot, where the two buildings face each other, overlooks cultivated land where the colors change with the seasons. Protected by a stone wall, reminiscent of the old fortified enclosure, and a tall porch adorned with a wrought iron gate, the dwelling is shielded from prying eyes. Along the enclosure, a grassy and shaded area allows for vehicle parking. The tower, built on a nearly square plan, overlooks a park planted with trees, which is closed off by a small gate on the left side of the main entrance. Perpendicular to the enclosing wall, the stone dwelling is built on a rectangular plan. It is elevated over two levels under a final floor that features a sloping ceiling, covered with a tiled roof, highlighted by three rows of eaves. A large awning is leaned against the south side. Accessible from the garden via a porch that leads down a few steps to the space below, an imposing wooden gate communicates with a passageway at the back of the house. The landscaped garden, which stretches in front of the house and connects to the tower, is planted with various species, a covered well and low walls provide separation from the lower part of the land.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Toulouse — PBI COLLECTION® Selection About fifteen minutes from Toulouse, in the heart of a commune in the north-east of Haute-Garonne, this property stands out for the sculptural power of its forms and the precision of its understated colour scheme. Rising above a rolling landscape, it is surrounded by trees with similar silhouettes. PIERRES-BLANCHES® unveils “Olfactory Heritage, Organic Architecture®”, a unique configuration: a world in which architecture converses with light, perspectives and the distant horizon in seamless continuity. THE ANCHOR “A beauty whose face the sky borrows, when it wishes to embroider with light.” It is at the heart of this Toulouse countryside, celebrated by the poet Pierre Goudouli, that the fullness of a preserved environment unfolds, one that the centuries have not eroded. Set within a 2,600 m² landscaped park, this property comprises some 350 m² of rigorous geometric design, conceived to open up views as well as accommodate a variety of uses. THE SCALE OF THE LANDSCAPE The result of a contemporary compositional approach using distinct volumes, the complex reinterprets Mediterranean tradition through a modernist language, in perfect harmony with the surrounding landscape. The villa is thus organised into an architectural triptych in harmonious dialogue. A mineral-like building body clad in stone and topped by a roof terrace, a structure tinged with natural umber, and a single-storey wing beneath a canal-tile roof that inscribes the contemporary design within the Mediterranean genius loci. GEOMETRY OF VOLUMES From the very threshold, the vanishing lines stretch towards the horizon, dictated by a transparency that dissolves the boundary between the home and the panorama. This strategy of porosity is expressed through the interplay of light, where the precise proportions of the volumes and the rhythm of the surfaces orchestrate a subtle perception, transforming the classic duality between interior and exterior. The main 115 m² space houses the living room and dining room, in perfect harmony with the kitchen. This continuity creates a sense of total spatial fluidity, unifying the space into a single, seamless experience. The kitchen, designed by the prestigious German brand Gaggenau, integrates seamlessly into the whole, embodying a meticulous approach to design. The decorative elements and interior architecture combine to form an environmental constellation. The resonance between materials, atmospheres and references thus becomes the matrix of an emotional structure where the space enhances the spirit of the place. THE ART OF HOSPITALITY The sleeping quarters are located upstairs, featuring two spacious suites designed as private retreats where clean lines and a balanced colour palette create a cosy atmosphere. An entertainment lounge spanning over 22 m² brings a new sense of freedom to the living spaces. An office completes this level. A separate gym could easily be converted into a self-contained studio depending on the intended use and layout. THE ESSENCE OF DREAMS On the ground floor, the 34 m² master suite is laid out like a private apartment, featuring a bathroom with finely crafted finishes and a bespoke walk-in wardrobe. Designed for contemplation, the space opens onto the magnetic expanse stretching fifteen metres. At the heart of this Eden, the interplay of materials reveals itself to catch the first light of dawn. THE MERIDIANS OF THE SITE Facing the sweeping landscape, the property opens wide onto the Toulouse horizon and the Pyrenees mountain range. The garden weaves an organic link with the building, orchestrating the flow of daylight and views through a protective veil of vegetation. The terrace structures the ground through an arrangement of contrasting materials. Set at its heart, the azure strip echoes the linearity of the architectural plan. The smooth concrete coping stones lie flush with the surface in perfect continuity. Reflecting the built volumes, this obsidian mirror doubles the composition, punctuated by the graphic allure of the structured macro-bonsais. COMFORT FEATURES The property features a fully integrated home automation system, discreetly controlling comfort and security functions. A wine cellar, laundry room, fitted utility room and ample storage spaces further enhance this focus on daily organisation. Two garages provide space for up to six vehicles. The unobstructed views of the vast landscape evoke a rare sense of escape, despite the immediate proximity to Toulouse. This project embodies a contemporary vision of living where space, light and the horizon stand as the true building blocks of the design.

A grand estate in northern Aveyron, comprising a majestic manor house with comfortable and refined interiors and its outbuildings, set within a vast, flat, wooded, and enclosed park of over 2 hectares with a swimming pool, located in the heart of a picturesque village in the Carladez region. After passing through an imposing automated gate, a driveway leads to the main building, with a turning area and parking for several vehicles at the rear (in addition to two enclosed garages), and the former direct access to the staff kitchens. This typical early 20th-century manor house, facing south and featuring large windows, rises four stories. The ground floor, formerly cellars, now houses a beautifully restored gym and games room with a pool table and foosball, ideal for socializing with family and friends, as well as for guests of the bed and breakfast. The first floor is entirely dedicated to living space, with a spacious entrance hall leading to a lovely living room with a large fireplace and, at the rear, a cozy TV room, and then a large dining room connected to the kitchen. A separate WC with a washbasin completes this level. The upper floor is dedicated to the bedrooms. The master suite, with a small balcony overlooking the park and swimming pool, has its own private bathroom. The two other bedrooms share a large bathroom with a bathtub, WC, and walk-in shower. The top floor has recently been renovated to create three additional guest rooms, with a bathroom et independant WC, and dressing room for linen storage. Behind the manor house are the estate's outbuildings: The first outbuilding, renamed the cottage, was formerly the staff quarters for the estate. After a beautiful renovation, a charming two-story cottage has been created to accommodate 4 to 6 people, with the living area on the ground floor and the sleeping area upstairs. Part of the ground floor of this building houses two large enclosed garages, and beyond that, a laundry/workshop area. Above the former stables, which are still in use, a loft has been created on the upper floor, offering an open-plan living space of over 85 square meters with a lounge, American-style kitchen, and small mezzanine, as well as a bedroom with a bathroom and dressing room. The bedroom's French doors open onto the exterior via the old barn ramp where hay was once stored. This second outbuilding also represents a significant portion of the property's enormous potential for hospitality activities. Outside, several small, lightweight structures are clustered around the outbuildings (a woodshed, a pergola, and even a small chalet). The grounds are entirely enclosed by an attractive perimeter stone wall with several wrought-iron gates. The land is flat. Open in places, such as around the swimming pool, it is also shaded by mature trees. The 10x5 meter rectangular swimming pool, treated with chlorine, is equipped with a plexiglass safety cover. It is bordered by an outdoor terrace with a pergola, ideal for summer aperitifs and meals. Next to it are an outdoor shower and a former pizza oven. On the other side, a jacuzzi has been installed atop a monumental stone well.

In the Occitanie region, between Toulouse and Montauban, along the Tarn River, a 19th-century farm and its outbuildings sit on a park spanning over 4 hectares. Accessible via a path leading to its entrance gate, the property is introduced by a landscaped and wooded park, consisting of meadows, adorned with alcoves of bushes and flower beds, as well as a spring that flows downstream towards the banks of the Tarn. At the end of a wide, winding gravel driveway, behind wooded areas, the facade of the main body of the farm reveals itself. This includes three single-story buildings: a barn serving as a spacious garage, a pigeon house, and the main dwelling. On a wall of the attic, the date of construction of the farm is inscribed: 1854. The buildings, traditional in style, are made of local bricks, wood, and canal tiles, with roofs that are either gabled or hipped; the modeling is understated, and the openings are straight or arched. The complete renovation of the buildings has been carried out according to professional standards: special attention has been paid to the conservation and enhancement of ancient elements, the use of noble and eco-friendly materials, as well as modern equipment and technologies, such as salt treatment for the swimming pool and double glazing for the joinery. The various buildings are connected by the gravel path, which also leads to the swimming pool. Opposite them, an oak forest leads to the spring and pond included in the park.This description has been automatically translated from French.

In the north of Gers, 5 minutes from a historic and tourist spa town, a fortified house from the 13th and 17th centuries and its outbuildings, set on 5 hectares of land. From the departmental road, a stony path 800 meters long leads to the property situated among fields, at the top of a hill. Protected from all vis-à-vis, the house stands facing a small valley, at the bottom of which the Esquère winds among the domain's outbuildings, forming an ensemble that was once surrounded by walls. A municipal hospice in the 13th and 14th centuries, it was occupied by the family of Bishop Martin Gutteria of Pamplona from 1450. The surface of the main building was doubled at the end of the 16th century, while the stair tower was added to the ensemble in the 17th century. The various windows pierced in the façade, as well as the types of masonry, testify to these stages of construction and successive modifications. Several remarkable cross and twin windows, arrow slits and loopholes, are among the preserved elements. The main house, built on rock, rises two levels under unconverted attics, and over a cellar carved out beneath the central part, the oldest. Topped with a two-slope roof covered with canal tiles on the body of the habitation and a roof adorned with flat tiles on the tower, it has retained its authenticity. A terrace with a swimming pool rests against a high stone wall to the south. A first oblong outbuilding, rising two levels under a lower roof than the dwelling, formerly used as a shepherd's hut, stretches towards the east. A second building is set at right angles, forming a U with the main house. A large awning is attached to the east. Opposite, forming a courtyard, a single-storey outbuilding, intended as a shelter for farm animals, has suffered a fire on part of the roof. A stony spring, located below the courtyard, flows to form a small pond.This description has been automatically translated from French.

In Quercy Blanc, a restored old house with guest accommodation, a barn, horse boxes, and a swimming pool set in a hilly landscape. The property is accessible by a small path that veers off from the road and joins a discreet hamlet composed of a few ancient residences. Set slightly back, the architectural and landscaped ensemble occupies a plot of approximately 8,000 m² open to cultivated lands and woods that structure this countryside of Quercy Blanc. The main house constitutes the heart of the property. It is an old stone dwelling, almost square in plan, built on three levels. Its limestone facades are pierced with regular openings equipped with wooden shutters. An external stone staircase leads to the main entrance located at the living level, a traditional arrangement in local rural architecture that used to preserve the ground floor for agricultural purposes. The four-pitched roof is covered with canal tiles. At the foot of the stairs, a grassy and wooded terrace, positioned slightly above, allows one to enjoy the surrounding countryside. Surrounding the house are the other buildings, also made of stone and tiles. An independent guest house of approximately 60 m², more modest in size and on one level, has its own terrace and a small private garden, allowing for the accommodation of family or guests with complete autonomy. An agricultural stone dependency completes the built ensemble. It includes a barn as well as several annex spaces, including horse boxes and a technical room. A well still in water adjoins the house. Dug in front of the main residence, almost at the foot of one of its side facades, a rectangular swimming pool is set in a lawn largely opened to the countryside. The buildings are well spaced across the plot, at a good distance from one another, allowing for clear views of the hills and fields surrounding the hamlet. All together, it forms a small coherent built group, characteristic of the rural settlements in this part of Tarn-et-Garonne, where old houses, dependencies, and gardens are organized at the edge of an ancient habitat within a landscape that has remained predominantly agricultural.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A 17th-century manor house with a panoramic view, outbuildings, a swimming pool and helipad, in a 13-hectare estate, in the Limargue sector. The property is located in a farming hamlet that is very typical of the Limargue sector, in a dominant position on a ‘pech’, the name given locally to a hill. The manor house and its large courtyard to the north used for private parking can be found at the highest part of the estate and can be reached directly through a wrought-iron gate that opens off the country road running through the hamlet. There is another entrance via the south, via a long earthen track that winds through the fields, leading to the barn and hangars spread out through the 13-hectare estate. Opposite the splendidly looking manor house, built in 1608, restructured in 1688 and extended in 1823, there is a large building combining garage space and living space. It lines one side of the courtyard and separates the manor building from the other houses in the hamlet. The manor house and barn underwent extensive renovation work between 2002 and 2007. When work began, the manor house was in a state of near ruin and it took two full years of work to make this edifice alone habitable. The totally uninterrupted view takes in a succession of natural meadows bordered by hedges and woods. A long, 12-metres by 3-metres, salt-filtered, heated, granite swimming pool fitted with a waterfall fountain, counter-current swimming system and a security roller shutter that is fully concealed when open, has been installed to the northwest of the house. Alongside the earthen track that leads down to the vegetable garden, another barn has partially been converted into a fitness room. Further to the south, a helipad and its modern facilities have been smartly blended into the wooded countryside, away from view. On the other side of the valley, a third barn still serves its original agricultural purpose. At its southern tip, the property is enclosed by a naturally cultivated vegetable garden, an orchard and a storage hut. Not far from the vegetable garden, there is a 20-metres by 60-metres dressage area, next to which a hangar for the horses has been erected; there is also another shelter to the north, nearer to the residence. In the shade of a small wood, a natural pond into which a spring on the estate flows also stands on the property.

To the east of Toulouse, in the Côte-Pavée district, a family home from the mid-20th century with a landscaped garden and pool. The property is accessible via a private driveway leading to an automated gate. An outdoor parking space precedes a closed garage for two vehicles. The house, built in 1954, is elevated over two levels according to a rectangular plan and under a four-pitched roof with terracotta tiles. Located to the north of the plot, it faces a garden of approximately 700 m², which is oriented due south. The facades combine a stone base with brick elevations, complemented at the entrance level by a rounded volume treated with plaster, resulting from an extension completed in 2008. This has allowed for the creation of a ground-floor entrance and an additional space on the upper floor. The interior organization revolves around a central area that distributes the rooms fluidly. In total, the residence includes ten rooms, with one bedroom on the ground floor and four on the upper floor. The main facade, oriented to the south, faces the garden. A terrace extends from the living areas and accompanies the pool. An external staircase provides access to a balcony running along the south and west facades. The attic was insulated in 2015. The frame underwent treatment in 2024. The local urban planning plan allows for additional ground use and enables the construction of an extension or outbuilding.

A remarkable property for events, accommodation and gastronomy in a corner of France renowned for its natural beauty and art of living, 40 minutes from Toulouse and Montauban. Tucked away among vineyards and fields, the property stands out for its balance and harmony. A long driveway lined with trimmed hedges and punctuated with stone statues leads to a neatly designed court of honour, which draws your gaze to the main house. This edifice, a grand dwelling with a ground floor and first floor, has an even design and is long and rectangular in form. Its elevations combine brickwork with pale rendering. They are punctuated with a harmonious series of windows fitted with painted shutters and spaced out in a majestic arrangement. The house is crowned with a tiled roof that completes the edifice with understated elegance. Tall trees, including slender cypresses, age-old plane trees and imposing cedars, create a protective environment around the main dwelling. Spread out around the edifice are several outhouses, including a huge reception hall set back from the grand dwelling, a brick lodge and, opposite the latter, a building that is bathed in natural light and that lends itself to a range of possibilities. A former dovecote, converted into a dwelling, is more vertical in form and, in line with it, a workshop and boiler room edge the parkland. Among this series of buildings and natural spaces, the grand house stands proudly as the property’s centrepiece – the jewel in its crown – and bears witness to a refined art of living that endures today.

An old stone house and shop nestled in one of France’s most beautiful villages with a view of a rocky cirque. This fine dwelling is tucked away among the round and square towers that grace the village’s many country houses, which also feature quaint dovecotes – some genuine, others false. The house is inconspicuous, its architecture unpretentious. Its shape softens the angular forms of the surrounding medieval structures and the sturdy remains of the fortified old town. The building was probably made in the fifteenth or sixteenth century as a modest home. It captures much of this castle village’s unique history. Its simplicity makes it stands out from Autoire’s other houses. Unlike other dwellings in the village, this property does not feature towers, dovecotes, mullioned windows, half-timbering and corbels. Instead, it features straight lines and the stout design of the old block-like houses with upper floors that you find along the Dordogne valley. There are two entrance doors leading into the building. One is on the west side. You enter it at the garden level of the dwelling, at the end of a small garden with a terrace that enjoys a splendid corner spot with a clear, breathtaking view of the nearby limestone cliffs of Autoire’s spectacular cirque. The other one is on the north side. You enter it via a courtyard – a former threshing area – at the ground level. This expanse takes you to a large entrance into two shops next to each other, in front of which chairs and tables are placed for customers. At the back of the courtyard stands a fine modern extension of timber boards that runs along part of the facade made of Quercy stone, where a semibasement with a workshop, boiler room and storage space lies.

A medieval manor, redesigned in the 18th century, perched upon a plateau in France’s Quercy province with a sweeping view of the River Dordogne. The manor stands where lanes cross paths, upon the Gramat plateau, where it enjoys a commanding position with views of the entire Dordogne valley. Indeed, the panoramic vista stretches to the Auvergne hills and the Château de Castelnau-Bretenoux. Over time, the hamlet provided the manor with outbuildings, before its population dwindled. Today, the hamlet still includes a little farm, which is in business and produces walnuts. This farm lies beside the property. With its elegant dovecote tower, the property brings together, in a harmonious L-shaped arrangement, a main section and a series of little dwellings, once inhabited by the estate’s 40 vineyard workers and artisan coopers. So a self-sufficient life of labour was enjoyed on the site. The protective enclosure formed by the layout of buildings bears witness to the estate’s small, hard-working community of yesteryear, at once focused on its own world and open to the world around it. The hamlet was already indicated on the Cassini Map – the first detailed map of France – so we know it existed before 1789. Yet arrow slits low down in the walls and the remains of a spiral staircase suggest that a fortification stood here before, doubtless during the Hundred Years’ War. The same family inhabited the manor from 1600 to 1785, as dates engraved here and there tell us. The edifice took on its current form at the start of the 18th century, when there was a drive to make fortresses more comfortable and brighter. Later, in the early 20th century, it was modernised with electricity and upper-middle-class comfort. During the Second World War, the manor, with its hamlet, formed an important site for the French Resistance, for which it served as a prime look-out. The manor was then neglected unjustly. But it was restored at the end of the 20th century and the current owners later created the warm, welcoming atmosphere that it offers today. All around the property, there is a natural backdrop with delightful luxuriance in the summer – this lush decor is the centrepiece of the site, which enjoys absolute privacy, nestled in France’s beautiful Quercy province.

A group of buildings, including a dwelling, two small holiday cottages, barns and offices, constructed out of Quercy stone and surrounded by rolling countryside, between the Lot and Tarn-et-Garonne departments . Located on the side of a hill, the property features a little more than one hectare of land, creating a natural shoulder halfway up the slope and extending down the hillside. As for the dwelling, facing fully south and overlooking the valley, it provides unobstructed views of the Quercy hills, while, the whole complex, made up of several local limestone buildings, is gracefully arranged around a courtyard, a number of patios and meadows bordered by oaks and maples. With its simple and balanced silhouette, the dwelling is topped with a hipped roof, whereas two small holiday cottages and a group of stone outbuildings – a former stable that has now been turned into office space, as well as two open-air barns, including one with a wide covered patio, ideal for summer meals – round out this group of bucolic edifices. In addition, set back from the other buildings, a swimming pool inconspicuously hidden within the verdant vegetation not only blends in seamlessly with the rest of the garden, but is also immersed in peace and quiet. Meticulously cared for, while respecting its history, and designed as if to assimilate perfectly with Quercy’s topography and dazzling light, all of its original volumes, ancient materials and views have been preserved, while the natural colour of its stones, barrel tiles and pastel shutters dialogue with the surrounding vegetation in a delicate balancing act between architecture and nature.

A restored sheep barn, with outbuildings and 1.5 hectares of land with a swimming pool, in the Gers area, 40 minutes from Agen and 1 hour from Toulouse. A country road leads to a group of stone houses that are overlooked by a 13th-century Gascony castle that dominates the valley. Just a few metres and a further bend separate the edges of the hamlet from the entrance to the property, via a discrete stone paved drive leading down to a grassy area where several vehicles can be parked. On the hillside, opposite the valleys of the Gers almost reminiscent of Tuscany, the buildings are so well integrated into their environment that they are almost invisible. Tucked away among the vegetation, only a small part of a roof peeks through the foliage, revealing the presence of a house. In the same alignment, two recently constructed buildings with wooden cladding are set against a backdrop of lime trees that provide shade on sunny days. They nestle into the hillside and are well integrated into the grounds. Between them, a concrete staircase leads to the upper part of the plot where the main residence and an outbuilding standing opposite can be found. Inspired by Provence, small stone walls underline the terraced garden, filled with many tree types typical of southern France. From a patio adjoining the residence’s southern façade, a flight of steps leads to a vast swimming pool area, surrounded by lush and exotic vegetation. The buildings overlook the various terraces in the grounds and approximately 1.5 hectares of land on which there is an orchard and a meadow, bordered by old trees.

A manor house, outbuildings and swimming pool in a luminous clearing surrounded by 10 hectares of royal forest, 50 minutes from Toulouse . Invisible from the road, you discover the house when you turn a bend in a woodland path. It is sheltered behind a green wall of Scots pines, limes, ancient oaks, ferns and peaceful clearings. As if set down inside a bubble of greenery, it forms a discreet, almost secret unit with its outbuildings, swimming pool, pond and driveways, enveloped in more than 10 hectares of landscaped parkland and ancient forest. Most of the buildings have stone walls, some of which are rendered, and gable roofs with interlocking tiles. The three-storey residence, with almost 650 m² of living space, was probably built at the end of the 19th century and has been patiently restored after a period of neglect. Each stage of the work was guided by meticulous restoration of the original features: the old fireplaces, the oak or chestnut parquet flooring, the moulded ceilings, the stone window and door frames and the floors have been preserved or restored, with respect for the building. All of the utilities have been renewed: drainage, rainwater, pipes, electricity and heating. The main roof has been remodelled, and the roof of the annexe has been refitted. A stone pond and a fountain form a peaceful focal point around the house. The swimming pool is set nearby in a landscaped clearing, like a natural extension of the house, not far from a natural pool fed by a spring. There is also a well adjacent to the outbuildings, which still contains water. The overall effect is one of harmonious sobriety, typical of country manor houses, where practicality meets elegance. The top floor of the house, which is preserved in its original state and insulated under the rafters, offers huge conversion potential.
