House with garden and terrace Toucy (89)

An elegant manor house, surrounded by tree-filled grounds and its many flowering plants, on the outskirts of a Burgundy village, two hours from Paris. Residential and sprawling, the village is scattered with stately homes concealed behind thick vegetation, while the property is accessible via an impressive and ornate wrought-iron double gate, supported by two large stone pillars and flanked on either side by large lime trees, which opens on to an interior gravel courtyard, cadenced by a large swath of lawn. Here, a staircase with wide steps ascends towards a second courtyard, traversed by a central stone path and separated from the surrounding verdant foliage by a low stone wall, which is, in turn, topped with wooden fencing. Dating from the middle of the 19th century, the dwelling, overlooking its grounds, has been inhabited by the same family since 1931: three generations of foresters, who then became operators of a sawmill followed by a fuel business. With two storeys, the white stone façade, facing south, is cadenced by large windows, safeguarded by solid or louvred wooden shutters, as well as matching window/door surrounds, lintels and quoins. As for the ground floor, it stands out thanks to its glazed front door, topped with an elegant glass awning, recently restored, while the house’s slate hipped roof is crowned with a dormer window. Extending on from the dwelling to the west, an ancient conservatory is accessible via a gate that makes it possible to close off the space or, inversely, open it up towards the grounds, whereas, facing the dwelling, is a working antique sundial flanked by original stone benches on either end of the courtyard. Following on from here, is a large, immaculate space – with a variety of multi-century trees – containing several verdant niches landscaped with different ambiances, a long avenue of lime trees creating a forested canopy alongside the ruins of an ancient fireplace, as well as small recessed openings providing access to the property’s other wooded areas. With another entrance located behind the house and near a pond, a cobblestone path to the east leads to the wine cellar, while, higher up, a patio is bordered by a small dry stone wall. Last, but not least, the grounds also contain two pieces of land zoned for construction: one towards the bottom of the property and the second behind the house, not far from the property’s third entrance.

Property Riom (63)

In the city center of Riom, in the Marthuret district, a private mansion from the 18th century and its vast terrace. Located in a protected area, at the end of a quiet street, the private mansion is part of a small co-ownership. Its design is attributed to Claude-François Legay (1728-1803), the city's architect, but the building, although constructed in the 18th century, seems to rest on older structures, probably medieval. Organized around an inner courtyard, the dwelling reveals, in its center, a small overhanging balcony. On the top level, a terrace of about 75 m² represents a precious uniqueness in the old local urban fabric.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House with garden and terrace Toulon (83)

A characterful dwelling with a sweeping sea view and a walled garden dotted with citrus trees, nestled in the old town centre of Hyères in the south of France. It was under the reign of Charles I of Anjou, in the 13th century, that a fortified town with five gates was built around the chateau here. One of these gates, Porte Saint-Paul, still has the grooves of its former portcullis. The edifice has three floors and is built upon Porte Saint-Paul gate. It has been redesigned several times since it was first built and it was extended in the 19th century. Its elevations are coated with rendering and its window and door surrounds are made of exposed ashlar, as are its quoins. The windows are arranged in four bays along the sea-facing elevation. They are of different sizes. Most of them are arched and the others are rectangular. A double-row génoise cornice underlines a roof of barrel tiles, which crowns the main section. A turret marks a corner of the edifice. It is supported by the gate’s thickest pillar and is capped with a zinc cone roof that is crowned with a finial. Inside the building there are five apartments, including the three that are for sale and which lie on the ground floor and first floor. The current owners have brought the three apartments together into a single dwelling with a 160m² floor area. The dwelling surrounds a terrace and a walled garden dotted with old citrus trees. The garden faces south and enjoys absolute privacy. It offers panoramic views of the Îles d'Or islands and the surrounding hills, upon which Villa Noailles stands. The three apartments could be turned into three self-contained units, each with their own private entrance. From a small road behind Saint-Paul collegiate church, three steps take you to an old door, which leads to the building’s entrance hall and to a wooden spiral staircase. These stairs take you to the upper floors.

House with garden and terrace Tours (37)

A city dwelling with four bedrooms and a separate studio flat, surrounded by a landscaped garden, within a residential neighbourhood on the outskirts of Tours. From a quiet street in a residential neighbourhood, a long drive leads to the gate, which then continues on to the dwelling, whose gable end features two garage doors, before finally terminating with a wide car park, extended by a carport. As for the dwelling, sheltered from view, it faces east-west and is surrounded by a garden with a variety of landscaped areas, planted with flowers, shrubs and many different trees, which were chosen in order to provide its exterior with a riot of colourful blossoms throughout the year. On the ground floor, a large sunny living area, primarily illuminated by glass double doors giving on to the patio, is divided into a sitting room with a wood-burning stove and a dining room, which is then extended by an open kitchen, while a bedroom with a wardrobe next to a shower room can also be found on this level. Lastly, on the first floor, under the eaves, a landing communicates with three bedrooms, a bathroom and a wardrobe, whereas a separate studio flat was created on the first floor of the garage.

House with garden and terrace Villeneuve-sur-Lot (47)

A stately and immense 19th-century neoclassical-style dwelling, its outbuildings and 2.6-hectare grounds near Villeneuve-sur-Lot. This eye-catching property is composed of a stately manor house constructed in 1857 according to the standards in place for 19th-century manor houses. Belonging to the same family for more than six generations, from above, the dwelling, located in the middle of the property, blends in harmoniously with its surrounding tree-filled estate of 2.5 hectares, the latter of which is bordered to the north by a road and shielded from view thanks to a ring of multi-century trees. The property is accessible from a gate that opens onto a gravel drive, curving gracefully all the way to the manor’s main façade where it widens to create a formal courtyard, before circumventing the building in order to provide access to the outbuildings. With an orderly exterior cadenced by delicately sculpted vertical rows of windows and ashlar stone quoins, this rectangular three-storey main building, completely symmetrical, was constructed out of local limestone, while its main façade, facing south towards the garden, is organised around a curved double staircase, which leads to a patio safeguarded by a stone balustrade. With a barrel tile hipped roof, adorned with decorative pediments and carved stone chimneys, the main dwelling faces, to the north, a group of outbuildings that includes an ancient open-air barn, independent accommodations in need of a renovation, a chicken coop and a tobacco drying shed. Classically composed and highlighting the manor’s impressive architectural coherence, which has been carefully conserved over the centuries, the property’s verdant grounds contain a stream and a waterfall to the east, an immense meadow encircled by a walking path and a row of trees to the south, while a well bears witness to the property’s original hydraulic autonomy.

Manor Perigueux (24)

A 17th-century charterhouse, its converted outbuildings and small hamlet of dwellings, to be restored, to the north of Périgueux, within the greater Dordogne region. Nestled within verdant countryside, the immense property, with approximately 1.7 entirely enclosed hectares, is surrounded by meadows and woods, which envelop the property within luxuriant vegetation. Accessible via a semi-circular gate, flanked on either side by fencing and supported by four stone pilasters, which opens on to a lane lined with catalpas, multi-century oaks and plane trees, the U-shaped charterhouse is located in the middle of meticulously maintained landscaped grounds planted with a wide variety of trees and shrubs. As for the estate, it also includes several annexe buildings, grouped together like a small hamlet, while the local stone walls, in a palette of white, yellow and pink, help structure the whole by sectioning off the various spaces, buttressing the large patio, demarcating the different entrances and encircling the ponds.

Vineyard with pool Pertuis (84)

30 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, in a large character bastide, a duplex and its private garden on a 3-hectare private estate. On the estate, besides the castle that served as a wine cellar in Roman times, three bastides were built in the 17th century. One of them underwent complete restoration about fifteen years ago with quality materials by a renowned architect, who divided it into apartments. The large bastide, surrounded by vineyards, is accessible from a wrought iron gate framed by two stone pillars and consists of several buildings of different shapes and heights. The walls of the buildings have been coated with ochre yellow lime. The whole is topped with gabled roofs made of canal tiles, typical of the region. On the eastern side of the central building, a courtyard with two stone basins is lined with plane trees. The clever layout of the windows of the apartments, protected by wooden shutters, and the adjoining gardens, allows each to maintain its privacy. The elegance of the building is highlighted by the cypress trees planted on either side. At the back, an olive grove and a large swimming pool serve as common space. A little further down, an additional area has been created and serves as parking space for residents.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Bastide Aix-en-Provence (13)

On the outskirts of Aix-en-Provence, less than 30 minutes from the train station and the airport, a 300 m² bastide with a swimming pool, set in a wooded and enclosed park of nearly 2,000 m². Surrounded by greenery, the estate is situated away from an urban thoroughfare. Below, a wooded and classified hillside ensures an unchanging horizon. Furthermore, the property, enclosed by walls and hedges, protects the privacy of its occupants while allowing the Provençal light to enter. Integrated into a residence, although completely independent, it is thus quiet and perfectly secure. The old bastide, whose origins date back to the 17th century, reflects the Aixois art of living, balancing classic rigor and southern elegance. Rectangular in plan, it offers more than 300 m² of living space, spread over three levels. The dressed stone elevations are coated with lime and topped by a traditional canal tile roof finished with a double eave. The monumental door built of Bibémus stone, topped with a cherub's head, recalls the original residential purpose of the place. The windows, symmetrically positioned around this door, are closed by wooden small-paned joinery and complemented by wooden shutters. The bastide was enlarged to the east by a veranda illuminated by large iron windows and topped with a terrace roof covered by a pergola. Two renovation campaigns in 1999 and 2006 have allowed for a blend of heritage and comfort: careful insulation, modern heating, and discreet air conditioning.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Property with garden Alençon (61)

In the Écouves state forest, north of Orne, there is a 19th-century château to restore, along with its wooded park and an 11-hectare forest. A small tree-lined departmental road leads to the entrance of the estate. An elegant wrought-iron gate, flanked by stone pillars topped with caps, opens onto a driveway of approximately 150 meters that winds through the woods to reach the château. With its characteristic 19th-century architecture, the residence combines neoclassical elements with regional influences. The building is topped by an iridescent blue slate hipped roof, marked by dormer windows, oculi, and two chimney stacks. The ridge is crowned with a lace-like structure in natural zinc. The southern facade is plastered, while the frames of the openings are made of limestone ashlar. The northern facade reveals the cut and jointed stones. A terrace with wrought-iron balustrades and a flight of steps overlooks the park, the forest, and the Sarthon river. To the side, an outbuilding houses a garage and workshop.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House with garden and terrace Marsangy (89)

In Yonne, in a village situated between Sens and Villeneuve-sur-Yonne, an ancient 17th-century outbuilding and its garden. Just a few meters from the church square, the imposing 17th-century building, covered in abundant vegetation on part of its façades, can be glimpsed from the street, protected from the main road by an old wall. The ancient openings are framed with cut sandstone, while the more recent windows are surrounded by bricks. The roof is covered with small Burgundy tiles, and the long ridge beams rest on stone angles. The dwelling was probably once connected to the mill built 300 meters below. Beyond the gate, the courtyard dedicated to vehicle parking is revealed: gravelled, surrounded by plantings along the wall and in front of the house, it extends into a lawn that connects with the garden. On the other side, there is a large terrace, also gravelled, followed by a grassy area that is slightly sloped and planted.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Mill Nevers (58)

In Burgundy, in a Natura 2000 environment, on 6.5 hectares of land, a manor from the 18th century, a long house from the 19th century, outbuildings, and a swimming pool. Once past a first white gate adorned with volutes, then a second one, at the end of an alley lined with trees and a stone bridge crossing the river, the manor and the various buildings reveal themselves. The facades, pierced with straight or ogival openings, are constructed of jointed rubble, with stone framing around the openings and corner chains. The roofs, either gabled or hipped, are mostly covered with flat tiles. A gravel path runs along a lawn area decorated with trimmed yews, before moving away towards a part of the park planted with numerous trees and integrating an orchard, a vegetable garden, as well as a garden located slightly below. A 9 m x 4 m swimming pool is hidden from view by vegetation, next to a wooden guinguette with an open porch. The facades of the main residence, divided into several sections, are pierced with predominantly mullioned openings and present a simple modeling. A tower contains the main vestibule and a staircase, while an extension with a slate roof serves as a technical room for the swimming pool. At the corner of the manor, the long house, built according to a rectangular plan, has multiple openings and is extended by a terrace on each side, as well as a shed at one end. A pétanque court sheltered by a row of trees is also present. An offset barn, with a surface area of 247 m², includes a living space to be renovated at one of its ends. A saddlery is located next to the stables, which include four boxes covering an area of about 63 m². Following are a woodshed, a porch, and a garage with sliding wooden doors, with a surface area of 46 m², intended for storing agricultural equipment and vehicles. It also serves as a hayloft in its upper part. All buildings benefit from a view that extends far over the park, meadow, and surrounding woods.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Property with pool and garden Florac Trois Rivières (48)

A renovated former silkworm farm, its wooded grounds and covered swimming pool, within the Cévennes National Park, in the south of the Lozère department. Just a couple of steps away from Florac’s downtown area and sheltered from view, the property, protected by a stone wall, extends over wooded grounds and is accessible via a gate, communicating with one of the village’s secondary roads, which leads to two buildings: the former silk farm and now the main dwelling, as well as an outbuilding that has been converted into a workshop. Between the two, a patio shaded by a trellis is an invitation to eat meals outside on nice days, whereas, further on and hidden behind the property’s first rows of trees, is a wooden chalet as well as a covered and heated swimming pool. In addition, at one end of the grounds, a second outbuilding was converted to accommodate visitors, while the property’s wide variety of trees and the breadth of its verdant foliage create, when strolling through the grounds, a succession of breath-taking and peaceful landscapes. Lastly, a second gate, located in the back of the property, makes it possible to park several vehicles without creating an eyesore for the dwelling’s inhabitants.

Mas Sisteron (04)

On the heights of the Jabron Valley, 10 minutes from Sisteron, a hamlet from the 17th and 18th centuries transformed into a lodging place. The property extends over a plot of about 7,000 m², organized around two distinct built ensembles in local stone, covering an area of more than 800 m². The complex, which dates back to the 17th and 18th centuries, underwent renovation between 2017 and 2023, preserving ancient elements and adapting the place for lodging activities. The terracotta floor tiles, several original architectural features, and the volume of the buildings have been preserved, while the technical equipment has been modernized to meet current needs. Access to the estate is via a staircase bordered by driftwood leading to an old central courtyard that organizes the circulation between the various buildings. Below, a covered terrace extends the living spaces for large tables during events. Water also structures the surroundings: a swimming pool set apart and a pond animated by a small waterfall in the central courtyard introduce a discreet sound presence. The outdoor areas feature varied vegetation, including fruit trees. At the top, a shaded wooded park houses a wooden terrace as well as an independent lodging in the form of a nomadic tent, designed for a stay in the heart of nature.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Manor Saumur (49)

In Anjou, at the exit of a village, an ancient priory from the 15th and 18th centuries on over 6 hectares. From the road, a tree-lined access path leads to the property. It leads to a gravel courtyard, with a barn on one side and an agricultural shed on the other. In front, surrounded by ancient moats on two of its sides, the residence is preceded by an elevated terrace. Built on the remains of an ancient fortress, the original priory dates back to the 15th century. It was deeply renovated and enlarged in the 18th century, as evidenced by the arrangement of the front facades, with their arched windows. The complex today consists of two bodies of buildings that meet at a right angle. The larger one is oriented north-south, the second east-west. Built of stone rubble coated with lime, the two buildings rise to three levels, including one in the attic. They are topped with high slate roofs with three slopes, pierced by dormer windows in their middle. The window frames, the dormer windows, the cornices, and the corner chains are made of tufa. The inscription 'D.O.M. 1732', placed above the main entrance door, recalls the religious origins of the place.This description has been automatically translated from French.

In the village, the former municipal tax collection office – which once housed the local school a century ago – has been entirely restored and converted into cosy guest accommodations. With approximately 170 m², the house stands out thanks to its high ceilings and rooms bathed in light, which provide 180° panoramic views of the surrounding Cévennes valleys that extend as far as the eye can see. Facing south, it marks the village’s southern border and is extended by a wooden patio that seems to float above the landscape. As for its renovations, they were able to conserve the soul of the premises, while still retaining its original materials and incorporating all modern comforts, such as a pellet furnace, fibre optic cable, a contemporary kitchen and bathrooms.

Property with pool and garden Lectoure (32)

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.

Property with garden Saint-Sauveur-en-Puisaye (89)

A stately dwelling and its enclosed garden in the middle of a village, recognised as a “Town of Character”, two hours from Paris, nestled within the Puisaye countryside. In a village with picturesque lanes lined with stately homes, one in particular stands out thanks to its many entrances: a painted ornate metal door opens on to the property’s garden, a wooden door topped with a fanlight is used as the dwelling’s front door, a restored double-leaf gate, near the outbuildings, provides vehicle access, while a final door is located in the back of the garden, surrounded by vegetation. In addition, a lovely flagstone patio skirts the dwelling on one side and, extending on from here, the grounds feature a stone bench, ideal for relaxing under the shade of the birches, as well as an ancient greenhouse, whereas a well surrounded by grass could be repurposed and an ancient drinking trough next to the woodshed provides an additional touch of charm to the premises. Lastly, a small path leads to a gravel drive, reserved for vehicle parking, located next to the outbuildings with their red shutters, the colour of which is identical to that of the double-leaf gate, while, sheltered from view, a small vegetable garden is planted with raspberry bushes as well as other fruits and vegetables.

House with garden and terrace Agen (47)

A small 16th century private mansion, redesigned in the 18th century, with a walled garden, in the heart of the historic market town of Port-Sainte-Marie, in Lot-et-Garonne . A few areas of the medieval town remain, with their half-timbered houses and mullioned windows. Built along the main road that runs upstream along the Garonne, on the city's ancient ramparts, the town centre is carefully maintained by a variety of urban developments designed to unify the architectural heritage. The house is a small private mansion with three storeys on the street side to the north and four storeys on the courtyard side to the south. Opposite the main entrance, a wide terrace runs the full length of the façade, joined by two original, timber-framed walkways overlooking an enclosed, flower-filled garden. The east gallery has a Moroccan-style lounge set in a small flat, which has three large windows; the west gallery, which is entirely open to the outside, leads to a summer dining room. The garden is closed off by a garage that can be easily accessed from a side street. Finally, two passageways under the house lead to cellars and an underground passageway, which was recently closed up. The front façade, accessible from the main street and in dressed stone, was probably standardised in the 19th century. It is open, with its ten large windows and four small ones full of little panes, or its wooden shutters painted in light green that surround an ancient entrance door, also wooden. On the courtyard side, the rear façade features a large cross window on the first floor and pink brickwork on the east side, while the west side features pointed ashlar throughout. On the ground floor, the façade is rendered white. From the terrace, a stone staircase leads down to the garden, both the terrace and stairs have simple wrought-iron railings. The building is semi-detached on its west side, and opens onto a lane via another door with access to the cellars on the east side.

Contemporary house with pool and garden L'Etang-la-Ville (78)

L'Étang-la-Ville, on the edge of the forest, a contemporary family house of more than 300 m², with a large garden and a swimming pool. At the edge of the Marly-le-Roi state forest, built on a plot of nearly 1,300 m², the house rises over two levels. On the ground floor, as you enter, thought of as a zen space, a reception area of about 90 m² unfolds. It includes a living room structured around a fireplace equipped with an insert, a dining room, and, extending from there, a semi-open kitchen. While a merbau parquet floor, an exotic species known for its durability, highlights the unity of the places, the entire space is bordered by large bay windows and opens at ground level onto a vast terrace. The level also includes a master bedroom, with its shower room and a private terrace. There are also guest toilets as a complement. A concrete and resin staircase leads to the upper floor where a landing distributes two large additional bedrooms, the first with its shower room, the second with its bathroom and a balcony overlooking the garden. Three other bedrooms and a bathroom are added to this level. Outside, the house unfolds its volumes around a spacious terrace made of exotic wood, a true extension of the reception rooms. The large bay windows establish a constant dialogue between indoors and outdoors, allowing light to circulate throughout the day. The garden, densely planted and carefully organized, surrounds a small swimming pool with contemporary lines, bordered by weathered wood decking. A summer pavilion, sheltered under a stretched canvas and protected by curtains, forms an outdoor lounge ideal for long summer days as well as more intimate evenings. Further away, the lawn and its large trees blend with the neighboring forest.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Property with garden Troyes (10)

In the center of Aube, 1 hour and 30 minutes from Paris, an elegant 19th-century manor house and its garden courtyard. Totally enclosed by high stone walls, the property opens through a gate leading to a paved courtyard allowing access to the main house and its outbuilding. The residence, situated in the center of the land, built at the corner of two streets, presents a classic style attentive to elegance. Rising four levels and oriented to the southwest, it is constructed of cut and pointed sandstone, rhythmically punctuated with windows featuring lowered arches and framed with red and brown bricks, like the molding and cornice, which delineate fairly regular horizontal limits between the levels. The tall windows, with white frames bordered by black wrought iron railings with decorative patterns and protected by folding metal shutters, contribute to the singular character of the whole. The left section of the façade is included in a projection with a triangular pediment, which disrupts the symmetry of the ensemble. The lush garden is organized around a green lawn, a large number of potted plants, a paved terrace, and a densely vegetated wall that protects from prying eyes. Located in the southwestern part of the plot, accessible from the main street and the courtyard, the outbuilding, elevated by one level, opens through a glass door and workshop-type windows; it is covered with a flat zinc roof and bordered by climbing plants complemented by a flowerbed of hydrangeas. Further on, a patch of various flowers occupies a large part of the courtyard space, alongside multiple trimmed boxwoods.This description has been automatically translated from French.
