An elegant farmhouse with a barn and guesthouse, nestled in 13 hectares of well-preserved grounds in France's Quercy province. Turning off a country road that winds through the valley, the entrance is marked by two white stone pillars. A track runs alongside the orchard and leads to the three buildings on the property. Comprising a barn and two houses dating from the early 19th century, all comprehensively renovated, they stand close to each other. Each dwelling has its own outdoor space, cleverly delineated by elegant lawns surrounded by flamboyant but perfectly controlled gardens. To the right of the former barn is an annexe used as a workshop. As is often the case in the Quercy region, the dwellings and outbuildings are erected in close proximity or only a short distance apart, sometimes separated by courtyards with soft contours. The barn and the main house have been linked so as to form one dwelling. The guest house has remained independent. The three buildings are of white stone, the rectangular openings have wooden frames and green-painted shutters, and the one, two or four-pitched roofs feature monk-and-nun tiles. Large trees and a few bamboos provide shade and freshness around the houses, very much appreciated during the summer months in this southern region. Opposite the entrance, slightly set back from the buildings on the other side, there is a swimming pool. The grounds beyond, made up of meadows and oak woodland forming a lush green oasis, slope gently down to a small stream that forms the boundary of part of the property.

A 19th-century family home carefully renovated into a bucolic event space, with tree-filled grounds and a remarkable swimming pool, twenty minutes to the south of Toulouse. At the end of the first driveway that provides access to the departmental road, a majestic willow tree overhangs the small wooden bridge, which marks the property’s entrance. Previously used to provide water for livestock, a water lily-carpeted pond sets the tone, a first and graceful indication of the estate’s overall floral aesthetic. Surrounded by greenery, a winding driveway then leads to the long building, recounting centuries of successive constructions, in which welcoming suites have replaced the feed cellars. Three clearly defined spaces, the reception space, the guest house and the private area come one after another and are extended by elegant patios in front of each of their façades. The farmhouse occupies the eastern part of the property, which extends over 1.7 hectares with blooming flowers and trees. The building, with typically Toulouse-style architecture, alternates brick and stone compositions with foundations plastered in lime whitewash. To the north, it is protected by woods whose oak and acacia trees supply fuel for the house’s fireplace. Well integrated into the landscape, an annexe, recently erected on the outskirts of the clearing surrounded by multi-century trees, not only provides two additional floors, but repeats the property's architectural codes as well. The swimming pool, awarded with a gold medal for the most beautiful design in France by the Federation of Swimming Pool Professionals, adorns the southwest wing of the house with its harmonious conception. The orchard’s fruit trees take full advantage of their southern orientation to provide ripe seasonal fruit. Light-coloured, made-to-measure reception tents blend harmoniously with the surrounding nature.

A Gascon chateau, a commandery of the Knights Templar and their many outbuildings around an enclosed garden, in the centre of a charming and historic village, at the gates of the Gers department, one hour from Toulouse. Built on a rocky outcrop and enclosed by fortified walls, the detached complex of buildings overlooks the village's few neighbouring houses and enjoys a 360° view of the surrounding rolling countryside from each of its edifices. Sheltered from view, the property is also steeped in silence given that the secluded village is only accessible via one small road. The adjacent buildings that compose the architectural complex surround a grassy courtyard as well as the former chapel of the “Knights’ Manor”, which became a church in the 15th century. Although it forms a harmonious whole with stone exteriors topped with barrel tile roofs, different buildings stand out due to the masonry of their exteriors, their roofs and other architectural elements specific to the successive periods in which the property was remodelled, such as its patios or windows. Consequently, the chateau that houses the current 330-m² dwelling distinguishes itself from the rest of the property thanks to its towers that cadence its exterior walls clad in stone and small bricks, as well as its many windows and immense patio of more than 100 m², highlighted with authentic balusters. As for the former Knights Templars monastery, which was later used as a wine storehouse and then a residence, it is a perfect example of medieval architecture. The horseshoe-shaped building presents traces of its former functions as a fortified chateau as demonstrated by the arrow slits, loopholes and scars resulting from the multiples modifications to its exterior over the centuries. With a surface area of 450 m², it has two storeys, including the attic space, and is topped with a gabled roof bordered by a triple Genoise corbel, while its exterior walls, composed of an amalgam of unpointed massive rubble stone masonry and ashlar stone, are characteristic of medieval constructions. Nestled next to one another, the outbuildings – former barns, stables, wine storehouse and other storerooms – are arranged between the two main buildings in such a way as to create a single edifice, which acts as the village's epicentre. It was only recently that a tree-filled landscaped piece of land below the village was annexed to the property. Today, sheltered from view, it includes a swimming pool and pool house in need of a bit of refreshing.

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 restored former farmhouse in the Quercy area, near Cahors, with a guests’ house, barn, swimming pool and 9 hectares of grounds. Seen from above, the property seems to spread over the Causse de Gramat plateau. Its light-yellow colour, typical of the Quercy region, contrasts nicely with the green meadows and woods. At the end of a private lane, the two-storey main residence, its traditional agricultural outbuildings and a remarkable, circular dovecote pay witness to the estate’s historical agricultural status. The volumes of the main house are laid out on a horizontal axis in keeping with tradition. Its walls made of local limestone are a natural match for the landscape and its authentic as well as characteristically brown tiled roof protects the rooms below. The farm buildings - a barn, workshop and bread oven - are set around the house on several sides. A little further away, a traditional building, which has now been converted into a guest’s house, overlooks the swimming pool. The garden is a mixture of flat and gently sloped areas surrounding the house. A patio sheltered by climbing plants on a pergola and lawns in the shade of oak trees make up some of the different areas. In the middle of this landscape, a swimming pool provides a refreshing note. The property spreads over several hectares, enclosed by dry stone walls and hedgerows. It follows the relief of the land and boasts wide open views of the Causses plateau and surrounding valleys.

A chateau, redesigned in the 18th century, with large annexes, a 1,200m² floor area and 14 hectares of grounds with a moat in France’s Gers department, 100 kilometres from Toulouse. You reach the 14-hectare property from a country road that edges its west side. A low stone wall protects a front section of the grounds where many outhouses stand. A shady path lined with towering horse chestnuts crosses a grassy expanse and leads up to the chateau’s main entrance. On the south side, a long separate building made of rubble stone demarcates this front section and marks the edge of the property. Storehouses lie at the sides of the grounds. These structures have been partly renovated to become a caretaker’s lodge and a workshop space, but much of the roofing on them needs to be restored. On the north side of the grounds, a small house with a dovecote and walls of repointed exposed stonework stands among farming annexes that include vast barns and other buildings. On the east side of this front section, a two-storey building with a tiled roof separates the old farm complex from the chateau, giving the latter complete privacy and calm. The chateau lies beyond a tall wrought-iron gate that stands in a covered carriage entrance. The edifice dates back to the Middle Ages and the time when the lords of Armagnac reigned here. It was built in the centre of its grounds, surrounded by a gravel terrace. A chapel protrudes at a right angle to the main section at the chateau’s east end. And a wing of annexes with a covered carriage entrance extends at the edifice’s west end. This wing is flanked with an adjoining tower crowned with a windmill. A remarkable mechanism in this section brought running water to the property at the end of the 19th century. The mechanism was invented by Élie Coulange, the property’s owner at the time. An ornamental pond and stone pedestals supporting bronze vestals echo the typically 18th-century traits of the chateau’s south and east walls. These statues were ordered by the famous countess Marie-Jacqueline de Biran d'Armagnac. Beyond the ornamental garden, and hidden behind a hedge, lies a swimming pool with a clear view of the surrounding countryside. The grounds are as majestic as the edifice: the vast plot is punctuated with wells, water-filled moats and a wide range of age-old trees, including cedars that line a long path.

A former farm building renovated into a family house and surrounded by 6,000-m² grounds, 25 minutes to the east of Toulouse and 15 minutes from Balma. The property is accessible from a secure electric gate. The 18th-century former farm building has two storeys and is located around the bend of a dirt track. Surrounded on all sides by abundant vegetation covering over 6,000 m² of hedge-enclosed and terraced grounds, the house faces an idyllic swimming pool, perfect for cooling off in the summer months. Two outbuildings-workshops adjacent to the living space as well as the pool house and the carport, were built to the right of the main building, which also includes an extension on its left side. The colourful, yet understated, partly plastered façades are primarily in red brick, a ubiquitous material in the region, which is also used for the rectangular or drop arch window surrounds, while the roofs are mostly gabled and covered with traditional tiles. Lastly, all around the property are rolling fields that extend as far as the eye can see.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
