luxury houses with pool for sale France (page 281)

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.

An18th-century manor house, on a former wine-growing estate of 12 hectares, with wine warehouses, outbuildings, grounds, a pond and woods, 60 kilometres from Tours. A small country road skirts the property’s tall stone walls, followed by its initial outbuildings before reaching its gate, which faces a wide tree-lined lane that extends between fields and farm tracks. At the property’s gate, a stone wall opens onto a wide courtyard, planted in the middle with two impressive Chinese mulberry trees, while, the manor, visible in the background, is flanked by its outbuildings on either side. Dating from the 18th century, the property was originally a wine-growing estate, while the two-storey manor, built in the Directoire style out of local stone, embodies traditional architecture, specific to the region. With an inhabitable floor area of approximately 435 m², the dwelling consists of a long central structure – the main façade of which is cadenced by doors and small-paned windows – flanked on either side by two adjacent lower extensions and topped with a slate roof, which is, in turn, crowned with zinc ornamental décor and finials. As for the back of the house, although different from the front, it still combines the elegance of the dwelling's symmetrical rectilinear windows and shed dormers with, in the middle, a unique triangular pediment, which adds a touch or originality to the whole. In addition, vaulted cellars extend under the entire building, while, to one side, a completely independent five-room caretaker’s cottage abuts a large courtyard, former stables and agricultural storage buildings, which are also accessible from the small country road via a second gate, providing an independent and more inconspicuous entrance. Moreover, the property also includes, on the other side of the front courtyard, another outbuilding, which is currently used as a holiday cottage with a capacity of 6 to 8 people. With a grass-covered, shady interior courtyard, this building has its own private entrance via a separate gate and faces a former wine warehouse, today reconverted into a reception hall with hardwood floors.

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.

A renovated limestone dwelling from the 19th century, its guesthouse and barn on 4.5-hectare grounds, perched up on a hill near Tournon-d’Agenais. In the peaceful valleys and hillsides of the Lot-et-Garonne department, the property includes an architectural ensemble that blends in harmoniously with the countryside, where each building was purposefully designed to complement the surrounding landscape. According to tradition, the farms in this region are located far apart from one another, at one time separated by fields, but this property only has one neighbour, practically invisible due to its placement to the north of the grounds behind a stone wall, while, from the house or the garden, located halfway up a hill, one’s gaze is immediately hypnotised by the unobstructed views of the preserved natural landscape: pastures, a few cows, and, further on, the hills of the Pays de Serre. Around the buildings, a cluster of tall trees provides a verdant counterpoint to the stone buildings’ architecture as well as a shady respite, while the dovecote, set back from the two-storey rectangular main dwelling and built out of local stone, represents an impressive element thanks to its balanced aesthetics. As for the barn, also built out of stone, it completes this bucolic tableau in keeping with the former farm’s overall functional and aesthetic feel. Accessible via two separate entrances, each one indicated by a finely crafted gate, which lead to a gravel drive bordered by expertly landscaped Mediterranean vegetation, the property’s grounds are arranged into gentle terraces, with both sunnier and more wooded areas, as well as views of the surrounding countryside, while, in places, low stone walls crop up here and there, subtle vestiges of its former agricultural past.

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 stately 18th-century property with outbuildings, a swimming pool and landscaped grounds, in a residential neighbourhood on the outskirts of Tours. Nestled within a residential neighbourhood in a town along the banks of the Cher, the dwelling is situated on carefully maintained landscaped grounds of nearly 4,500 m², planted with plenty of trees and flowers, which includes a large covered patio, swimming pool, greenhouse and two outbuildings. From the street, the property is accessible via a wrought-iron gate supported by two stone pillars, which opens onto a gravel drive that runs alongside part of the grounds and one of the dwelling’s wings, in the direction of the two outbuildings used for vehicle parking. As for the U-shaped, two-storey dwelling, composed of an 18th-century central building framed by two wings, it surrounds, in the back, a grassy courtyard, scattered with pruned box trees, and accessible via an opening flanked by two tuffeau stone pillars on either side, which are then extended by low stone walls. With tall rectangular, small-paned windows, the house’s tuffeau stone exteriors are topped by a slate gable roof, which is, in turn, crowned by gable dormer windows, whereas its eastern wing includes a large picture window, in the same style, as well as several additional rectangular windows. Last, but not least, the dwelling’s interior has been well conserved with hardwood floors, fireplaces, wood panelling and tuffeau stone walls, while the eastern wing’s gable end has been converted into a garage, the plaster-coated rubble stone exterior of which is accessible via wooden double doors.

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.

In a village in Vendée, near Les Herbiers and Puy-du-Fou, a 19th-century school converted into a guest house and gîtes, with a garden. Built in the mid-19th century, the property is an old school that underwent extensive renovation starting in 2010 and continuing until 2024 (some parts are still under a ten-year warranty). The entrance gate, topped with a finely crafted pediment, marks the entrance to the property. The main building is two stories high, under a tiled roof. The dwelling is extended by two wings that form a square courtyard. Its gables include, on one side, a covered area and, on the other, an additional wing for the private part of the house. In front of the northeast facade are a terrace and a garden, with a heated swimming pool. A second terrace and a covered area ideal for children's games complete the outdoor spaces. An independent apartment, separate from the areas reserved for guests, consists of three bedrooms and a spacious living area.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A country manor with six hectares of grounds, transformed into tourist accommodation with gîtes, beside the beautiful Morvan regional nature park in Burgundy. The property used to be one of the four fiefs that were part of the Coutarnoux seigneury. It is now the last remaining representative of this former seigneury. Today’s buildings were probably built upon a medieval site. They are the last reflection of what a local nobleman built in 1775. The estate looks down over a wooded valley, around which lush hills, pasture and forests stretch as far as the eye can see. The bucolic atmosphere that reigns here is completely calm, recalling the name of the river that edges the property: the River Serein, ‘serein’ meaning ‘serene’ in French. You reach the property via a lane that climbs up a hill. There are several driveways. Two of them lead into the grand courtyard from the north and south sides. The main house and the gîtes stand around this court. The third driveway, marked with signposts, takes the clients straight to the car park.

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 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 manor house and a swimming pool on 5,600-m² grounds, 30 minutes from a high-speed rail station, in the middle of a village within the Sâone-et-Loire department. From the street, a wrought-iron gate and a pedestrian door both open onto a wide central path, which, after ascending a flight of stone steps, leads to the house’s front door. Built in the 17th century, the main dwelling, located in the middle of its tree-filled garden, was thoroughly reorganised in the 19th century, providing it with its current configuration. Rectangular in shape, the two-storey building’s main façade, nearly symmetrical, is flanked on either side by two taller wings as well as a one-storey extension to the south, while the entire dwelling is topped with a barrel tile roof, typical of the region, and surrounded by a patio. Mostly enclosed by stone walls, the property also includes a swimming pool, slightly set back, and an adjacent summer kitchen, thereby creating a separate outdoor living space during the summer months. It should be noted that thanks to its meticulous upkeep and periodic renovations, the property is in overall good condition.

In the Sarthe valley, near Sablé, an old mill with water rights on nearly 1 hectare. From the village, a street then a path descends toward the mill, bordered by its canal and the stream, beyond which are meadows surrounded by trees. While the mill's location is very old, the current building dates from the first half of the 19th century. An exclusive fishing right is attached to the property. The entrance is marked by a white-painted wooden gate that opens onto a paved courtyard, with the living quarters on one side and a garden and pool on the other. A walkway over the canal allows access to the sluices. Renovated, the mill consists of two buildings. The main wing, square in shape, is raised over two stories. The facades are plastered to reveal the stone and are pierced with openings, some of which are semi-circular with brick framing. An open loggia to the west overlooks the courtyard and the river. The gabled roof of tiles is topped with two Jacobin dormers. Another wing, rectangular, is raised over one level and is distinguished by its slate roofing.This description has been automatically translated from French.

An eighteenth-century Provençal house 15 minutes from Orange TGV station, in the historical county of Venaissin with 2.4 hectares of wooded grounds and a view of Mount Ventoux. This property was once part of a vast, plain, farming estate, of which it still has 2.4 ha of land. The constructions stand on the north-east side of its land on a knoll, circumvented by a meander of the Carpentras canal, marking the northern limit. The main entrance, leading to a courtyard, is provided by gates on the south-west side, facing the estate’s land. On the north-east side, a high wall, lined with unsquared surface limestone, encloses the courtyard; a little door in this perimeter wall makes it possible to reach an outstanding stand of oak trees, on the north slope, bordered by the canal. The main building is a traditional Provençal country house, constructed at the end of the 18th century, even the beginning of the 19th century, probably on the foundations of an earlier construction, notably visible in the enclosed courtyard courtesy of the vestiges of old blocked up windows. It spans two levels and faces southwards over the courtyard. It is symmetrically and harmoniously composed and topped with a triple overhanging cornice, forming the eaves. Its lime-rendered walls feature aligned openings, framed with painted surrounds, enhanced with red edging. The north-east corner of the country house features a wide, drop arch, carriage door, topped with a virtually square opening, indicating a probable reconstruction of the country house’s east gable or a vestige of an earlier construction. A square, single-storey pavilion, topped with a roof terrace, bears witness to an earlier building, possibly a 2-storey dovecote. Reached via steps on the west facade, it marks the southern limit of the country house. It is extended by a terraced area, supported by a dry-stone wall, containing a swimming pool that closes the courtyard. And lastly, the parklands extend over the top of the open area to the south of the courtyard. Planted with Mediterranean species, notably convoluted pine trees, they still include some decoratively trimmed boxwood and a masonry well, topped with a local limestone dome.

A traditional 19th century Gard farmhouse and vast farm outbuildings, 20 minutes from Nîmes . On the north-east side of a rectangular plot of more than 3 000 m², enclosed by stone walls and fences, there stands a vast old building with a strong rural character. The buildings are laid out in a U-shape, closed on three sides, typical of traditional southern farmhouses. This architectural arrangement, designed to provide protection from the prevailing winds and offer a private, yet functional space, is reminiscent of the farmhouses that once dotted the Gard countryside. The property is entered from the west via a wide carriage entrance flanked by former stone stables. The entrance marks the threshold to a quiet, enclosed world, far removed from any hustle and bustle. Behind the discreet entrance there is a vast, light-filled central courtyard, bordered by the three wings of the house. The walls, made of local stone and rubble with a patina finish, reveal the building's age – probably before the 19th century. Most of the windows are straight; some of them are wide and high, with pointed or basket-handle arches on the garden level. They are surrounded with ashlar. The roofs are covered with canal tiles on double-sloped wooden frames and bordered by a double cornice. They feature recesses that testify to the successive extensions and changes to the building complex over the generations. The courtyard, enhanced by the recent addition of a swimming pool, highlights the former productive function of the site while showing its transformation into an elegant living space. In the wings, which were once attics or agricultural outbuildings, a few windows let in light and mean that they can be used for other purposes. Facing due south, the main building, which captures the warmth and light of the Mediterranean, provides wide views over the interior of the property through its many windows.

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.

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.

Close to Charité-sur-Loire, 2 hours from Paris, in a hilly landscape, two houses, an outbuilding, and a pool, on 26 hectares of land.
