A splendid eighteenth-century mansion near Nantes, nestled in a beautiful landscaped garden that covers over a hectare and includes a pond and outhouses. The edifice is an emblematic example of the town’s architectural heritage. It bears witness to the rich history – and anecdotes – of this delightful area south of the majestic River Loire. The property can be considered one of the famous bijou mansions that dot the countryside around Nantes. These homes were built for the pleasure of high society during the upper middle classes’ golden age: the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The house is set back from a secondary road. It stands behind a remote-controlled metal gate that is flanked by two tall square pillars of dressed stone. The outdoor entrance area is divided into two distinct sections. An initial closed court reserved for parking includes a broad asphalt driveway, lawns, and lines of evergreen oaks and crape myrtles. A second, gravelled court is fenced off with wrought-iron railings and gates. It leads straight up to the house’s entrance door. This main courtyard faces north. It is bordered with the edifice’s principal section, which dates back to 1789 and offers 500m² of living space. Two wings extend it at right angles. They contain living spaces and areas for relaxation that cover around 600m². On the south side, trees dot a landscaped garden. Some of these trees are over a hundred years old. A path edges the eastern side of the grounds and leads to a group of outhouses. A kennel, a tunnel greenhouse, and a walled, fenced-off pond complete this marvellous 12,600m² property surrounded by walls. An adjoining plot of over six hectares could be added to it.

A family dwelling with an outbuilding and garden, five minutes from Montreuil-Bellay, in the Maine-et-Loire department. From a small street in the middle of the village, a no-through road provides access to a wrought-iron gate, which opens on to an interior courtyard. Built out of tuffeau stone, the three-storey house features a plaster-coated rubble stone exterior with ashlar stone on its gable ends and window/door surrounds, while, in certain places, some decorative details from the 19th century are still visible. Extended by a pavilion to the south, the L-shaped main dwelling, crowned with a cornice, is topped with a slate three-sided roof, whereas, on the side facing the courtyard, two terraced patios skirt the dwelling. In addition, a former stable, built out of tuffeau stone, with a slate gable roof, faces an interior courtyard, not far from a well and the entrance to the cellars, while the grassy and tree-filled garden extends towards the south over nearly 550 m².

An 18th-century house with outbuildings, a swimming pool, a pond and 3.8 hectares of grounds, nestled halfway between the city of Nantes and the Atlantic coast. The property is nestled in a hamlet. You reach it via a country lane, two kilometres from the village centre. The property is set back, behind tall stone walls. The entrance gate and the pedestrian gate beside it lead into a white gravel court. Different buildings stand around this court. Straight ahead, there is the main house, which was built in the late 18th century. It has a central section with a ground floor and a first floor. The house is crowned with a hipped slate roof. The whole dwelling is plain in style and bears witness to the local region’s rural architecture at its time of construction. Its architecture was doubtless designed with winegrowing in mind. The elevations are coated with Loire sand rendering. The east elevation faces the court and the west elevation faces the lush grounds. The court-facing elevation is adorned with a Virginia creeper and a trumpet vine. The garden-facing elevation is adorned with wisteria that climbs up to the first floor. Tuffeau ashlar forms its quoins and door and window surrounds. The house is extended lengthways with a former farmhouse – a single-storey building. In terms of breadth, this old farmhouse is one room wide. It is crowned with a roof of barrel tiles. The whole structure – the main dwelling and former farmhouse – offers 270m² of liveable floor area. It is extended at a right angle with a wing of convertible outbuildings that offer a 150m² floor area in total. A former stable and other outhouses close the front court. Behind the main dwelling, landscaped grounds extend westwards and southwards. A vast carpet of lawn lies in front of a wooded area of age-old trees of different varieties that cast shade across a pond. A swimming pool with absolute privacy offers refreshing coolness on hot summer days. It lies beside a former cart shelter that has been turned into a summer kitchen. An orchard and an arboretum can also be found on these enclosed grounds, which cover 3.8 hectares and are not at all overlooked.

A 17th-century dwelling with its convertible outbuildings and grounds of 1.7 hectares, on the outskirts of a village near Angers and the banks of the Loire. A country road provides access to the property’s entrance gate, which opens onto a lane that traverses a portion of the grounds, passes in front of the dwelling’s façade, before ending in the outbuildings’ courtyard, facing west. As for the grounds, they extend behind the dwelling towards the east, while the current edifice, built over older foundations, dates mainly from the 17th and 19th centuries. Facing east-west, it is made up of a central three-storey pavilion, including one level under the eaves, and two single-storey side pavilions. With mostly dual-aspect rooms, its slate hipped roofs are punctuated by dormer windows, whereas its wooden front doors, each decorated with a carved saltire, date from the 17th century and are topped with a curvilinear cornice and highlighted by rusticated stonework that reaches all the way to the roofline. In addition, on the first floor, pilasters support a triangular pediment adorned with a count’s coat of arms, more understated rusticated stonework was used to draw attention to the back door and all of the dwelling’s exterior architectural details – rusticated stonework, cornices, quoins, dormers and window/door surrounds – were constructed out of tuffeau stone. Last, but not least, the property features two outbuildings, built later during the 19th century, the larger one of which could be easily converted, while the grounds also include a swimming pool as well as a small pavilion, nestled within the grounds and partially enclosed by a wall, which has been transformed into a guest cottage.

A 16th-century manor, its outbuildings and 10-hectare grounds, nestled within the countryside of the Guérande peninsula. Along a secondary road bordered by trees, a gate marks the entrance to the property. From a car park, a drive leads to the main courtyard, around which the buildings are grouped, whereas the estate itself was originally built for a lord from the Guérande peninsula and was modified and adapted over the centuries in several different stages: the dwelling’s central building was extended in the 17th century, a floor was added atop the right-angle wing in the 18th century, before being renovated and modernised in the early 2000s. To the east, the 16th-century main dwelling features two storeys as well as an attic level, while the central building and its right-angle wing create an L-shaped ensemble, connected by a staircase tower tucked into its interior angle. Topped with gable roofs, each building features a visible gable end, whereas the dwelling’s extension to the south is topped with a hipped roof. As for the two parallel 17th-century outbuildings to the north, they are accessible from a second entrance in the back. In addition, a path between the manor and the outbuildings leads to a private garden, whereas the grounds are enclosed by walls, thick hedges as well as tall trees, which help shelter the property from view. Lastly, the property’s woods extend over approximately eight hectares on the other side of the country road.

A renovated farmhouse from the 16th century with a swimming pool, an orchard and outbuildings, not far from the city of Angers, in France’s Maine-et-Loire department. A wooden entrance gate, framed between two ashlar pilasters, leads into the property, a former farm complex. The property used to belong to a manor, which stands on the other side of the road. The complex was built in the 16th century. It was the home of Hercules de Moreau, a valet to the king, and later, in the 18th century, it was the home of the Guéniveau family, who passed it on to Joseph-Eugène Bonnemère. The latter was a famous author and playwright. The main edifice is built of tuffeau stone, with rubble stone for the elevations and ashlar for the window and door surrounds. A gable slate roof crowns the building. Many steel-and-glass windows punctuate the north and south sides. A porch leads to the cellars. This porch’s roof has a hipped end and is supported with four pillars with mouldings. Opposite, there is another building. It is partly converted and it houses a bread oven. Between the two buildings, there is a granary with a ground floor and first floor. A three-slope roof crowns it. Its western elevation is made of ashlar and is punctuated with three bull’s-eye windows. At the bottom of the garden lies a former stable. A walled orchard can be reached from outside. A swimming pool lies there.

A restored rural dwelling with a 200m² floor area and a 6,000m² garden, tucked away in France’s Perche province near the town of La Ferté-Bernard, under two hours from Paris. The restored property, a former enclosed plot, lies at the end of a lane beneath a vault of vegetation. The property is hidden, tucked away in the countryside. You enter the property between the main dwelling and an outbuilding. The rectangular house dates back to the 19th century. It offers a floor area of around 200m². It is built of rubble stone, coated with ochre lime rendering. It was recently restored. The outbuildings are built in the same way. Exposed tuffeau stone forms the quoins and door and window surrounds. The gabled roof is covered with old tiles and has three newly created dormers on its south slope. Beside the dwelling, there is a wooden building and another outhouse. The series of buildings forms a courtyard where a tall tree towers in the middle. The garden is enclosed with hedges. The dwelling’s facade is its south elevation. Opposite the house there is only a wooden outbuilding that looks out at the surrounding fields.

A 19th-century seaside villa, facing the ocean, on the wild and untamed coast of Le Croisic's peninsula. Along the coastal road, a picket gate, framed by two granite pillars, opens on to a breath-taking view of the villa with the ocean in the background. Behind the gravel courtyard, large enough to park several vehicles, the dwelling stands in the middle of the property, surrounded by the garden and the sea. Near the gate is an inhabitable two-storey outbuilding, while the villa itself was built over two separate periods: its western section dates back to the middle of the 19th century and includes two floors, one of which is under the eaves, while later on, around 1900, the building was flanked to the east by a slightly larger, but considerably taller, extension with three storeys, including one under the eaves. Built out of rubble stone and covered in light-colour plaster, the villa’s corners are highlighted by toothed ashlar stone quoins, while its symmetrical windows are also framed by ashlar stone and topped with chiselled granite lintels. Topped with a gently sloping hipped roof over the initial construction, which is cadenced on either side by two gable dormer windows, whose wooden structures, decorated with understated mouldings, are painted white, its newer and larger section, crowned with a steeper hipped roof, features roof finials and dormer windows with granite triangular pediments on three of its four sides. These stone dormers, larger in size, not only highlight the extension’s verticality, but give it the look of a tower as well, which emphasises its role as an architectural centrepiece within the villa’s overall composition.

A restored 16th-century mansion with over seven hectares of grounds, nestled in France’s River Loir valley and listed as a historical monument. A quiet country lane leads through meadows and farmland on a plateau. From this lane, a driveway lined with North American oaks leads up to the seigneurial mansion. A car park lies next to an entrance to a vast courtyard. You cross a bridge over a water-filled moat on the south side. The mansion stands straight ahead. All the buildings are arranged around the courtyard. A tree-dotted garden lies on the east side, behind a high stone wall yet within the moat’s enclosure. In the north-west corner of the moat-enclosed complex, another bridge stretches across the moat. From this spot, you can gaze out at meadows where majestic trees tower. A small wood also lies in the property’s north-west corner, beside its boundaries. Meadows evenly spread around the moat-formed island cover an area of around six hectares. The estate dates back to the 14th century, when the land was part of the nearby fiefdom of La Mothe d’Olbeau. Over the centuries, several families followed one after another on this estate that forms a self-sufficient home. The dwelling was probably built in the 15th century, then extended and redesigned between the late 16th century and the early 17th century to create, above all, its staircase tower and central pavilion. All the fireplaces inside date back to this period and were doubtless crafted by a specialist stone cutter. In the 18th century, the rear eastern pavilion with large windows, a section slightly lower in height, was added to the edifice and the south-east-facing facade was transformed to harmonise the whole mansion’s appearance. In the 16th century, a range of fortifications were made, including the surrounding wall, the moat with its bridges, a fortified tower, and more than twenty arrow slits. At the start of the 20th century, the estate covered around 150 hectares that included smallholdings and a mill.

A 16th century manor house, with converted outbuildings and 2 ha of land, where the borders of the Mayenne department meet those of Brittany . A lane leads off the main road to wrought iron gates that open into a gravel courtyard, which borders the manor house, followed by the large outbuilding, on one side. Large, grassy areas surround the buildings and the courtyard, protected by tree and shrub hedges. A driveway leads to a garage. Behind the manor, a terrace separates it from an outbuilding and a covered swimming pool. A woodstore and a small outbuilding are laid out alongside the thick hedge.

A chateau from the 16th and 17th centuries listed as a Historical Monument, its outbuildings and equestrian facilities over 18 hectares of grounds between the Sarthe, Mayenne and Maine-et-Loire departments, near Sablé. 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.
