Ref.4841 : Near Fontgombault (Centre of France), a 15th-C. fortified house on a promontory, ideal for a restoration project This imposing fortified house, with its interesting outbuildings, is situated on the border between Berry and Poitou. The surrounding countryside alternates between woodland and more open spaces, with gently rolling hills. The Creuse valley lies to the south, just a short distance away. Steep cliffs dotted with castles, wooded meadows and charming little villages combine to create an enchanting landscape. Everywhere you look, you can find a riverside spot to go fishing, or a natural beach to enjoy swimming and boating. Also in the Creuse Valley is Fontgombault Abbey, home to a vibrant and renowned Benedictine community; and the spa town of La Roche-Posay, whose waters treat the most common skin conditions. The world-famous eponymous cosmetics are produced there. Heading east, you enter the Brenne. Renowned for its unspoilt natural environment and designated a Regional Nature Park, this region offers a wealth of opportunities for relaxation and exploration. Birdwatchers come from all over the world to observe waterfowl and migratory birds, whilst walkers, cyclists and horse riders enjoy the well-maintained trails winding their way between the ponds. Hunting enthusiasts also find ideal terrain here, in accordance with responsible practices. The Brenne, the ‘Land of a Thousand Ponds’, is also an area of livestock farming and fish farming, whose produce is integral to the local cuisine. On this note, the Michelin-starred Maison Dallais (La Promenade restaurant) is just twenty minutes away. Further west lies Poitiers, a major regional, university and commercial city, which can be reached in under an hour and from where TGVs depart regularly for Bordeaux or the capital. At the end of a driveway, the château stands as a tall building oriented north-south. The 15th-C. main building has a gable roof covered with flat tiles and gable walls. To the east, a three-sided extension with a hipped roof, built on two levels in the early 20th-C., resembles the prow of a ship. The whole complex has a certain charm. To the west, a small 18th-century barn serves as the stern of this fine vessel. The facades of the main building are illuminated by windows of varying shapes and sizes. One of them is mullioned. Numerous holes for nesting boxes are visible at the top of the south facade. The ground floor is accessed from each of the main façades: a large room with a monumental fireplace, and a kitchen in the extension with a toilet and utility room. On this level, there is also a room accessible only via a high window on the south façade. On the first floor: two large rooms, one of which has a monumental fireplace, and, in the extension, two bedrooms with a shared shower room. On the second floor, a large open-plan area with a bay window. Above this, an attic with a roof structure shaped like an upturned boat hull, which could be converted into an additional living space. Cellar accessible from the ground floor and the outside. OUTBUILDINGS : The château has four outbuildings: a 19th-C. barn facing the main house on the north side, a beautiful barn with covered porches, one of whose eaves has recently been restored, a sheepfold, a farmhouse, which has two rooms, one of which has a fireplace. Overall, these outbuildings are in need of renovation. LAND : The site, covering a total area of 12 acres (4.85 hectares), takes the form of a plateau on which the various buildings comprising the estate are situated, with a meadow featuring a few fine trees running alongside them.

A manor house, two gites and outbuildings in 8 hectares of wooded grounds in a village, 30 minutes from Poitiers . A small country road runs alongside the property wall to a gate enhanced by two pillars supporting an imposing, sober iron gate. Once past the entrance, two houses appear on either side, each with its own private outdoor space, and further on, there are outbuildings. The manor house is revealed next, followed by the grounds. The main building dates back to the last years of the 18th century, the Directoire period. A wing and stairway tower were added at the beginning of the 20th century copying the original style. A bossed arch on the facade highlights the entrance, which is topped by a balcony. Pedimented dormer windows have been added to the concave Mansard roof on the manor house. The wing has a four-sided slate roof. Render has been applied to all of the facades and the corner ties and window frames are ashlar. Under the 20th century wing, there is a cellar which is accessible from the outside. The two guest houses, situated at the entrance to the estate, one with a small private courtyard and the other with a garden area, are the same style, with stone dressings and canal tile roofs.

A house dating back to the 19th and 20th centuries with outbuildings and a 5,500m² garden, five minutes from the city of Cognac in France’s Charente department. The edifice’s main section was built in the 19th century. It faces north and south. An annexe that stretches north was added to its west end. And from its south-east corner, another annexe, which is more recent, adjoins the building to form an L shape with it around a courtyard. A country road runs alongside the outer wall and railings on the east side, where there is a pedestrian entrance. There is also a northern entrance on the court side and a southern entrance on the garden side beside a tall conifer and a square dovecote. There are different outbuildings too, both on the north and south sides.

In a spa town between Bordeaux and La Rochelle, a discreet, 230-m² house, its tree-filled garden, large upper patio, garage and studio. Rectangular in shape and built over two levels, the house is topped by barrel tile roofs, the organisation of which demonstrates that initially, there were most likely several houses and outhouses built one after the other depending on the needs at the time. The visible stone masonry is punctuated by numerous windows and doors surrounded by ashlar stone. On the garden side, the ground floor rooms are connected via a 20-metre gallery along the façade, looking out over the garden with its picture windows. As for the upstairs, this floor includes a patio of approximately 65 m², which extends along the entire length of the house. From there, the view extends to the rooftops of the city’s chateau and, on the right side, over the Romanesque church’s bell tower. Right next door, a covered and converted section provides access to a small courtyard adjacent to the studio, which looks out over one of the town’s squares.

In the Vienne, 20 minutes from Châtellerault and 30 minutes from Poitiers, an old chapel has been enlarged and converted into a family home. In a hamlet, at the end of a dead-end street and attached to the wall of the property, a gate opens onto part of the garden and a pool. A little further on, the L-shaped house consists on one side of the former 15th-century chapel, with its rendered stonework, and on the other of a modern section. The roofs are new, made of mechanical canal tiles.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A house and its barn waiting to be renovated, nestled on Oléron Island on around four hectares of a protected natural area. The property includes a house with a barn that stands to the south-east. A few other dwellings edge its south side. The main entrance is also on that side. To the east, an inconspicuous lane runs through greenery up to the house. The property covers nearly four hectares, stretching northwards and eastwards to former salt pans. Lush vegetation dominates the site. Small trees and clusters of shrubs cover almost all the land, except for a pond that lies towards the north-east corner.

An old, well-developed house that towers over a beautiful village in the Gâtine poitevine. The main dwelling faces southwards, standing between a round tower and a square one that was reduced in height. A terrace extends in front of it, providing space for meals, conversations, naps and reading on sunny days. The reception rooms lie either side of the house’s seventeenth-century entrance door, which takes you into a spacious hall. To the right is a parquet dining room with a fireplace and to the left is an equally sumptuous living room. A boudoir, or office, separates the living room from a large bedroom that includes a washstand and an Empire-style bath. This bedroom leads out into the garden. The room connects to a bathroom in a seaside-resort style that takes up the round tower’s ground floor. A kitchen and scullery lie parallel to the dining room towards the middle of the edifice. The kitchen opens eastward to the outside. The scullery leads to a patio with access to a woodshed, boiler room and former laundry. Two staircases take you to the first floor, which is made up of three bedrooms, a linen room, a bathroom, an office and two lavatories. In the middle of this storey lies an extensive playroom under exposed beams. The room has many purposes. For example, it can serve as a children’s dormitory, a television room or an area for fun afternoon snacks. Almost all the windows are double-glazed. Most of the ceilings are insulated and large cast-iron radiators emit the heat produced by the oil boiler very effectively. Most of the roofs are new or recent. The cellar is spectacular under its ribbed vault (transverse arch in the middle). The annexes adjoining the house include a former stable, a garage and a storeroom under an extensive attic. The sanitation system needs to be only partially changed. The lush garden, which leads right up to the house, offers a delightful bucolic view over a 2,800m² area of flower beds, trees and grass. On the other side of the small access road lies a half-hectare meadow with a row of walnut trees running across it.

A 10-dwelling hamlet on 31-hectare grounds, perched on a rocky promontory, twenty minutes from Angoulême in the department of Charente . Set within a rolling landscape, the property, perched on a rocky outcrop, overlooks the valley and the nearby river that borders the estate to the southeast. Accessible from the north via a drive that passes, on the right, garages carved out of the rock as well as the large openings of the former 5,000-m² quarries, which, more recently, have been used to grow mushrooms, it then ascends to the centre of the six-dwelling complex. The main dwelling is positioned in the middle, with a raised bakehouse to the east, while four dwellings skirt the promontory to the south and a last one is located to the north, as is a converted greenhouse to the northwest. At the foot of the rocky outcrop, two large openings lead to underground galleries of 600 m² and six springs, surrounded by large ashlar stones, are scattered throughout the meadow to the south that reaches all the way to the base of a cliff. In addition, vast meadows surrounded by woodland extend to the north of the building complex.

A 19th-century manor house with outbuildings and six hectares of grounds in a protected natural zone where France’s Charente, Charente-Maritime and Deux-Sèvres departments meet. The grounds are located just south of a hamlet. The dwellings in this hamlet border the property’s northern meadows. The manor house faces south-west and looks out at a tree-dotted space. On each side of the manor house, two long buildings form a U shape with the main house. Two towers with pointed cone roofs adorn the complex on both sides. One of these towers adjoins the northern outbuilding. The property’s entrance gate faces a 150-metre-long drive lined with trees. This drive runs up to a road. On the south-east side, there are other outbuildings: a dwelling with an enclosed garden, farm buildings and looseboxes.

In the scenic Vienne region, in the centre of grounds crossed by a river, a traditional farmhouse with full French ownership rights and two guest houses . The property can be accessed via two entrances, the first providing direct access to the grounds and the second to the farmhouse via a courtyard, where a covered area has been created with space for two cars. A caretaker's cottage is located a few meters from the main entrance. The stone farmhouse has a flat-tiled roof. Its two facades are dotted with windows, some with French windows, which are echoes of each another. In the grounds, a first guest house can be accessed via the garden gate and by going past the front of the farmhouse, which is just a few metres away. Built of exposed stone with a tiled roof like the farmhouse, it faces the mill and a reservoir formed by the water from the millstream. The mill, set opposite these first two dwellings is the focal point of the whole complex. The mill's history can be traced back to the 17th century, when its dykes were built. Destroyed by a fire in 1790, it was rebuilt in 1800 and still has water rights to this day. Its drop height is around 1.8 m. It should be noted that all the dykes have been bricked up and raised to protect the buildings from possible winter flooding. Finally, a second guest house has been built on the first island and is linked to the shore by a small bridge and accessed by a stone staircase. Another bridge leads to a second, even larger island.

A renovated listed church and its 5,000 m² of grounds in a village 15 minutes from Poitiers. The church, designated 'basilica', stands out for its prominent position in the village. An avenue of plane trees marks the entrance to the grounds surrounding the edifice. Built of rendered limestone between 1884 and 1889, the church reflects the Medieval Revival architecture and other eclectic elements of a period marked by the influence of Viollet-le-Duc. It has a groundplan in the form of a Latin cross with a single nave. Its bell tower-porch, designed by the architect Alcide Boutaud, has an unfinished facade, known as a “bonding facade”, which lends it an almost Romanesque style, even though the structure adopts Gothic architectural references. Two metal spiral staircases flank the entrance and lead up to a balcony, where a large pointed-arch opening with double-glazing provides access to a fully restored organ. On either side of the nave, large galleries form a cloister which links the doorways to the chapels. Their entrances are embellished by two pointed arches and two attached pilasters. These galleries have been double-glazed and fitted with new-generation radiators. The entire basilica, including the sacristy, was included in the French National Heritage List by decree on 4 January 2011.

In Portes-en-Ré, a contemporary villa inspired by the island's architecture, over 300 m², with its swimming pool and gym. Behind a long white wall, the property gradually reveals itself in the spirit of the large Rêtaise houses. A gate opens onto a gravel courtyard, while a pedestrian door in the wall leads to a covered porch that marks the entrance. A welcoming garden consists of bamboo, palm trees, grasses, and Mediterranean plants. Beyond that, the villa appears in fragments and is organized into several volumes arranged around various successive patios. The old Rêtaise houses often resulted from the gradual aggregation of buildings related to the activities of salt-makers or winemakers. Living spaces, salt warehouses, or old cellars were connected by courtyards protected from the wind. The property adopts this logic in a contemporary interpretation. The lime-rendered facades, dark shutters, and canal tile roofs reflect the architectural codes of the island, while large glass openings establish a fluid relationship with the outdoors. The entire project, in its volumes as well as its interior arrangements, was designed by architect Jeanne Dumont. The materials assert the character of the building: brick floors laid in a dark pattern on the ground floor, oak flooring with small strips on the upper level, fine carpentry, wooden paneled ceilings, and often custom-made furniture.This description has been automatically translated from French.

At La Flotte, an old farming hamlet from the 18th century with several houses around a wooded and walled garden. The property extends in depth, following an organization inherited from an old agricultural complex. The various buildings, all on one level, surround a central garden. Part of the plot creates protected spaces, while some openings reveal perspectives between the volumes. The layout ensures both privacy and a sense of openness. It includes a house as well as several old structures: a wine cellar, a grain room, a barn, and a sheepfold that have undergone successive renovations. The organization distinguishes three separate living units. The facades, made of exposed stone or plastered, are covered with traditional tiles. The exterior woodwork, mostly painted blue, adds rhythm to the elevations. The floors are mainly composed of old tiles, found in most rooms, punctuated by a few areas of terracotta.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A large, elegant and comfortable house and its neighbouring building in need of restoration, in a beautiful dry-stone village in the upper Sèvre valley. The main house, built out of rubble limestone, overlooks, on its garden side, the Sèvre River from all four of its storeys, while its other façades look out on one of the most beautiful villages in the department with its medieval chateau. All the living spaces are located on the ground floor, which includes: a large living room, a small sitting room, a library or office and dining room, all decorated with nailed wide-plank hardwood floors, a variety of different fireplaces and ceilings with exposed beams or delicate stucco patterns, while the kitchen, left in its original state, has an antique square terracotta-tile floor. In the other building, a vast room, called “the chapel”, accessible via the small sitting room, could be used for galas, concerts or theatre performances. The first floor contains four bedrooms, each in a unique style – one of which has a powder room with lavatory – as well as a vast separate shower room with lavatory. On the second floor, under the insulated roof, a lounge space opens onto the staircase, while a last bedroom, bathed in sunlight, is located near the bathroom with lavatory. The rest of the floor is reserved for the attic space. As for the garden level, it includes a summer kitchen and furnace room (wood-pellet central heating), a workshop, a summer shower room with lavatory and a cellar. The house’s tile roof is in great condition as is the roofing for the outbuildings, while most of the windows are double-glazed. The garden is organised into six spaces, including the courtyard enclosed on three of its four sides by two barns and the deep, asymmetrical quadrilateral swimming pool. The four storeys of the house in need of restoration – which a small courtyard separates from the first – are accessed by a spiral staircase, which is undoubtedly older than the date displayed above the building’s arched front door: 1724. Although some of its window frames have been changed recently and the shutters are new, there are eight rooms in total that need to be refurbished, in addition to three cellars and two attic spaces. An interior garden, in which a palm tree provides a Mediterranean touch, opens onto a patio under which, thanks to the slope of the street that descends towards the bridge over the river, a garage was created.
