luxury houses with terrace for sale France (page 282)

A more than 140-hectare hunting estate with an 18th-century Provence farmhouse, in the Alpes de Haute-Provence area. The estate can be reached via a discrete tarmacked track that winds through the greenery to the entrance gate. Beyond the gate, the grounds of the vast, entirely fenced, 138-hectare estate, fully preserved from any hustle and bustle, are divided into two separate parts. An old edifice made from local stone and built in the 18th century can only be seen from inside the estate, tucked away in the centre of the first part of the grounds. The typical Provence farmhouse stands in the middle of meadows overlooking the valley. It is set around a central courtyard and includes several independent homes. There is a summer kitchen that is dominated by a swimming pool surrounded by a covered patio and a summer lounge, boasting a panoramic view over the Alpine relief. A second entrance on the Luberon side of the property can be reached by carefully maintained tracks. They also lead to almost 3 hectares of truffle oak trees whose produce is farmed and sold, as well as two lakes. As for the outbuildings, a large edifice contains several garages, a workshop and storage space for agricultural equipment. A well-structured kennel area is made up of twenty boxes, all of which are lit and boast a water supply. The water supply for the estate, which has become a crucial issue in southern France, is guaranteed by a 105-metre-deep borehole fitted with a submersible pump in 2020 that fills a 75-m³ water reserve equipped with a UV treatment system. Several springs and a traditional Provence stone well further enable the property to be self-sufficient in terms of water. The estate is connected to the electricity as well as telephone networks and also boasts potential for production of photovoltaic solar energy.

A 17th-century group of buildings, with commercial and artisanal potential, with a swimming pool and gardens, along the banks of a river in Burgundy, near Beaune. The property is located along the main road that goes through the village, close to the old railway line connecting Dijon and Epinac. With an understated southern façade in exposed stone, the main building has five windows on the ground floor and six on the first. Dating in part from 1635, this building has undergone many changes over the centuries, the vestiges of which can be traced in the stones of its façade. At a right angle, a wide carriage door in dark-stained wood, framed by ashlar stone, marks the entrance to the property alongside a small pedestrian door. Past the covered entranceway, the view of all the buildings, completely surrounding a vast gravel courtyard, is interrupted on the left by a Burgundy stone patio and a green space at the foot of a building with three buttresses, typical of a tithe barn from the 13th century. In turns, a chapterhouse under the authority of the Bishop of Autun, the entrance to the hamlet under the protection of an emancipation charter, guaranteeing free trade, and the fiefdom of the Archers Brotherhood, the property once hosted travellers having paid the fee to cross the river, the current of which was once much more difficult to forge. During the Revolution, the property was transformed into a coaching inn, taking advantage of its dovecote, stables, wells and bakehouse. The first phone booth in the village was installed on this property before a restaurant and then a bed and breakfast were opened here. Past the covered entranceway, on the left side of the property, a farmhouse in pointed exposed stone is made up of two adjacent buildings of different heights. Its entrance is marked by a stone doorstep, which leads to a discreet front door, framed by ashlar stone and topped with a climbing rosebush. A stone patio, bordered by a flowerbed and defined by a low stone wall with several openings, provides a pleasant space to sit and relax right next to the kitchen, dining room and living room. On the north side, a wall separates the garden beyond and provides direct pedestrian access to the vegetable garden and the building called “La reserve du Père Grivot” or “Father Grivot’s Storehouse”. A little further on, a former communal washhouse borders the property before making way for the river that runs alongside the garden.

A large renovated house dating back to 1930 with a garden and outbuildings in the Cap Brun district of Toulon, a 10-minute walk from a beach. The house and its garden are separated from the street by tall trees and a stone wall with two metal gates. The plot is rectangular. The house stands on the site’s northern edge, leaving a vast unobstructed outdoor space in front of its south-facing facade. A garage and an outdoor utility room lie in the north-west corner and a shady terrace adjoins the house’s east wall. The entrance door is also on this east side. The dwelling was built in the interwar period. It has two floors and a semibasement. A hipped roof crowns it, underlined with a triple-row génoise cornice. The pale walls are roughcast-rendered. Evenly spaced rectangular windows punctuate the walls – some casements, others sliding windows. They are fitted with folding shutters that are painted green. The south-facing facade stands out for its large bay-window alcove with arched windows. Two balconies with colonnaded balustrades adorn the facade. One of them crowns the bay-window alcove. A third one, which is larger, protrudes above the entrance on the east side, above a series of columns and arches.

A characterful hillside house with a garden overlooking the surrounding countryside, nestled in a highly sought-after residential suburb of Toulouse in south-west France. The property is part of a remarkable series of buildings that were unveiled in 1932 and were designed to provide the city of Toulouse with drinking water. You enter the property via a large gate framed between two pillars. The house is designed in the characteristic style of Toulouse’s early-20th-cenutry architecture. It was built upon land above an underground aqueduct that runs through the Pech-David hill and joins a water-lifting station beside the River Garonne. The plot on which the dwelling stands is now private. This plot includes a paved driveway, a court where three vehicles can be parked, a covered garage, and an enclosed garden that enjoys absolute privacy and offers a 40m² terrace. The land that lies at a lower level and houses the aqueduct belongs to the city of Toulouse and cannot be built upon. This ensures that no neighbouring property on this plot will be built.

A recently renovated country house with large outbuildings and 7.5 hectares of grounds with a river, nestled near a picturesque town in France’s Gers department. The country house is nestled in the middle of the countryside, yet it is only a few minutes away from shops by car. The fine edifice stands in the middle of its grounds, which are made up of vast meadows, through which a river flows. Part of this river is channelled into a moat that edges the terrace in front of the dwelling. Two driveways lead to the different buildings. The first drive runs alongside the river up to a covered entrance passage by the main house. The other drive stretches from the fields to an entrance between two tall stone walls by the outhouses. A country road runs alongside the property at a lower level. The main edifice was built upon a holy mount of the local Camarade parish in the 11th century. Today, the building displays traits that are typical of country homes that were redesigned in the 18th century. Its main section is L-shaped. It has a ground floor and a first floor. A square tower with a ground floor and a first floor adjoins the main section on its west side. The whole edifice offers a 560m² floor area. A second building made of stone stands at an angle to the edifice, on the other side of its moat. In line with it there is a huge barn with looseboxes and an open-sided shelter that completes its east-facing elevation. A little further on, there is a tall L-shaped house with a ground floor and a first floor. It is waiting to be renovated. A request for planning permission has been submitted for this. The roofs of the buildings have two, three of four slopes. They are covered with barrel tiles. These roofs were recently renovated or redesigned. They are underlined with génoise cornices. The elevations are plain. They are made of rubble stone. Ashlar forms their quoins and door and window surrounds. The elevations are mostly coated with rendering, though in some parts there is pointing with exposed stonework. The country house’s elevations are punctuated with windows that are slightly arched and spaced out symmetrically. And the outbuildings have rectangular windows that are spaced out less evenly.

A 20th-century villa with outbuildings, a garden, swimming pool and panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, to the west of Marseille on the Blue Coast. Perched on a promontory, the land where the old mill once stood was gradually divided up in order to make room for several villas in the 1960s. All that remains from the former mill is a tower now encircled by the building complex, which has progressively been expanded over time. With the arrival of the train, followed by various services and amenities, the traditional lifestyle of this seaside village quickly transformed into a sought-out coastal resort town, while the proximity of the famous actor Fernandel once again increased interest in this holiday destination, secluded and yet close to several dynamic business hubs. With immaculate and rather massive architecture, including multiple building structures, but with an overall traditional appearance thanks to its ochre-colour plaster-coated exteriors, arched windows surrounded by ashlar stone as well as its barrel canal rooftops bordered by genoise cornices, the villa combines the character of yesteryear with modern comfort. As for its large glass doors and picture windows, they allow the natural light to bathe its interior and provide panoramic views of the sea, while inside, noble materials and soft tones were chosen in order to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. In addition, the bedrooms, sizeable and sunny, were designed as individual sanctuaries, their bathrooms were tastefully decorated with several luxurious touches and the living areas, generous in size, are extended outdoors thanks to several sun-dappled patios, bordered by understated wrought-iron guardrails or stone balustrades, intended for convivial moments between family or friends as well as peaceful relaxation lulled by the wind in the pine trees. With a separate flat and recreational amenities, including an impressive swimming pool, which provide a sumptuous touch and augment the property’s inhabitable spaces, the latter seems as if to melt into the horizon like the bow of a ship, surrounded by an immense terracotta deck as well as a variety of outbuildings. Last, but not least, the garden, meticulously landscaped, is an invitation to stroll through its verdant pathways, while terraced areas lead to more intimate spaces, ideal for reading against the soothing soundtrack of the waves in the distance.

An elegant house with a 470m² floor area, fully renovated in an English style and nestled in the town of Châtillon-sur-Seine in northern Burgundy. The house and garden lie up on a hill in the town, opposite Saint-Vorles Church, which looks down over the River Seine valley and the Douix spring. This neighbourhood is especially calm. It separates the town centre from Châtillon forest. The street Rue Saint-Vorles is steep, so gardens here are terraced, and the road offers a pleasant view of the town. With this incline, you cannot immediately see that the house actually has four levels and that its basement becomes a garden-level floor. The house’s elevations combine Burgundy stone with brickwork, giving the edifice an appearance that is half-French, half-English. On the street side, just beneath the zinc roof, there is a terrace on the second floor. Two towers flank the house’s main section. The first one is broad and rises up to the terrace, where it stops. The other one is more slender and stretches all the way up to the second floor. The property’s garages are separated from the house and mark the edge of the garden. From the property, you can admire an outstanding view of Saint-Vorles Church, as well as ruins of the town’s old fortifications and the tree-dotted parkland beside them. At night, lighting showcases these places, bringing out their splendour.

A sumptuous house from the late 19th century with lush grounds, nestled 30 minutes from the English Channel in Normandy’s Calvados department. The property is just a stone’s throw from a 13th-century Gothic church. The road is lined with picturesque timer-framed dwellings and little farmhouses. A thuja hedge grows along a low brick wall with iron railings. At the right-hand end of it, a gate leads onto a shady driveway. From there, the drive lined with tall trees runs west, towards the house. The sumptuous dwelling was built at very end of the 19th century. It is an elegant home set in splendid grounds. Before, the building was known as a chateau, as were many houses built by the upper-middle classes in the period just before the First World War. Its elevations are rendered with a cream-coloured coating of local sand. The architectural embellishments are classical with stone capitals, garlands, exposed quoins and window surrounds that stand out in a pure white tone. The facade is more ornate than the garden-facing elevation. The house has a raised ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. A flight of front steps, edged with wrought-iron balustrades, leads up to the main entrance door. The facade has four windows on the ground floor – two on either side of the entrance door – and six windows on the first floor. And along the second floor, in the roof space, there are five elegant dormers. The rear elevation has two sets of ground-floor French windows that lead out to a large terrace, which you reach via a double set of steps. There are three other tall windows in the rear elevation on the ground floor and, above them, five windows on each upper floor. The house’s hipped mansard roof has slate tiles and is crowned with finials. Two imposing chimney stacks – one at each end – rise up from it. At the front, a gravelled drive marks the paths for walking and driving. Around this driveway, lush lawns draw your gaze to beautiful views of the grounds. The grounds form an English-style garden with majestic age-old trees dotted around the grand edifice. By the house’s entrance, neat yew hedges underline the ground-floor windows. At the back, there is a swimming pool. It lies parallel to the rear elevation. From a patio above the terrace, steps lead down to a paved poolside area that surrounds the swimming pool. Three palm trees tower around it. A gravelled path separates two extensive lawns that stretch to the edges of the property. Tall trees tower around the sides of the vast plot. There is an old greenhouse on the grounds too, as well as an outbuilding with a 150m² floor area. This outbuilding needs to be renovated. Beyond, there is a bucolic backdrop and the River Dives, which flows gently.

An unusual village house with swimming pool and garden in the heart of the medieval town of Cordes-sur-Ciel in the Tarn department. The house, mainly built in the 16th century on the heights of the hilltop village, is reached via cobbled medieval alleyways. A driveway leads from the entrance gate to a patio enhancing the south-eastern main facade at right angles. Four different roofs with local tiles, one- or two-pitched, clearly set apart the various sections of this atypical building. The property has a floor area of approx. 350 m² extending over three stories. A contemporary 1980s extension, fronted by a wood and glass conservatory, adjoins the first main section, which is the original part of the house and abuts the old tower. All the facades are of old, rough-hewn stone, some combined with brick, some rendered and some half-timbered, a reminder of the many different historical periods and the unique character of the local architecture. The windows are arranged symmetrically or irregularly depending on the facade and vary widely in size. They are mainly rectangular or arched. Finally, a terrace extends from the garden level, which features a swimming pool. The wooded, lawned grounds to the rear of the building are enclosed by walls.

An urban chateau dating back to 1930 with an outhouse, a swimming pool and tree-dotted grounds, nestled by the town of Cahors in south-west France, in the country's Lot department. The property’s entrance is at the top of a hill that looks down at a shopping zone of Cahors. The chateau was built upon a hill. The plot’s outer retaining wall, with its remarkable height and strength, is impressive. A former water tower made of brick welcomes visitors like a sentry positioned at the edge of the plot. A drive leads downwards and a meadow of horses extends on the other side of it. Beyond a long bend and the first trees, an esplanade, used for parking, comes into view. Across its gravelled ground, you can easily reach the stone terraces that surround the chateau. The chateau was built in 1930 in a style that recalls the elegance and harmony of classical French architecture. It offers a floor area of 455m². With its pure-white elevations and the perfect symmetry of its south-facing facade that looks out at the tree-dotted grounds, which cover over a hectare, the edifice seems to have been taken straight out of a picture book. Natural light shines through age-old trees with effects that vary from season to season. Bucolic views from each window in the dwelling embrace these majestic trees. On the grounds, there is a swimming pool and an elegant outhouse that could be turned into a workshop, a guesthouse or a garage.

A 16th-century hamlet in need of a renovation, with a swimming pool, 23 hectares of grounds including 4 hectares of vineyards, overlooking the Garonne valley between Bordeaux and Toulouse. On a plateau overlooking the Garonne and Albret valleys, past several villas built on either side of a municipal road, a final property stands at the edge of a village, which can be reached via a driveway bordered by cedar trees. Surveying the surrounding landscape, it seems to be cut off from the outside world, sufficiently distanced from its neighbours to avoid all disturbances, both visual and auditory, while still remaining in proximity to the village. Nestled within its grounds, which include flower-filled pastures, fields and vineyards draped on the hillsides as well as woods below, only a faint buzzing sound can be heard from the motorway, which traverses the centre of the northern side of the valley. A gravel drive runs alongside a square dovecote and its patio before arriving in front of the U-shaped main building edified in 1536. At that time called “the chateau of Pelon”, at some point between the 17th and 19th centuries it became a noble house owned by the Espalangue family, a member of the court of Henri II, King of Navarre. Built out of stone over two levels and topped with a barrel tile roof bordered by a triple Genoise corbel, the house is arranged around a gravel courtyard punctuated with an ancient cedar tree. To the south, a square turret abuts the central main building with a floor area of approximately 385 m². The east wing, which houses the former village stove, and most likely flanked by a mill at one point, could easily be connected to the current dwelling. Combined with the 360° panoramic view, the creation of new windows, which are currently small in size and low in number, could provide additional light for the building and make it possible to take advantage of its different perspectives throughout the day. At a distance from the main dwelling, on the other side of the gravel courtyard, a guesthouse, a former Gascon farmhouse in need of renovation, is located not far from the 6 x 18-metre swimming pool and a vegetable garden with chicken coop, while a second driveway ensures this building’s independence if needed. Scattered throughout the property are three wells, an undeniable asset.

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 villa designed by André Stern in the 6th arrondissement of Marseille, opposite Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde, with a panoramic view of the city and its bay . Situated on a rocky headland, the villa that its designer and first occupant christened 'The Eagle's Nest' certainly lives up to its name, taken from the name of the vegetable garden which it was built on. After climbing the steps of a typical Marseille street, once you have gone through the front door, a flight of brick steps framed by exotic vegetation such as a Japanese pagoda tree, cycas and ice plants runs along the rear facade and leads to the house entrance, which looks almost suspended above a limestone fault. The tone is set before you enter the vast premises: a huge patio door gives you a view of the character and architectural style of the curved building. More than 400 m² of living space has been designed to fit in with the landscape and environment, with a vast terrace and terraced garden that look out over the Mediterranean Sea. The architect, town planner and scenographer André Stern, a disciple of Le Corbusier, had this unusual house built for his family between 1984 and 1987, based on a 16th century Indian mandala design. The building’s architecture is unique, both in terms of its appearance and the materials used. It has an inverted half-shell roof with glulam beams, large round windows, a concrete and aerated concrete structure, geometric features repeated in rhythm, and even reflected in the shape of the swimming pool.

An 18th century house in the village of Valensole, with a roof terrace between the Alps and Le Verdon. This late 18th century house stands between two different streets, not far from the historic centre of the village. The large fountain, its surrounding basin and the washery on the main square, all of which are classed as historical monuments, are from the same era. The building is attached to the neighbouring houses on either side and has two façades, one to the west and the other to the east. Each façade overlooks a street but at a different level, giving the house its unique character. This stone-built house was erected around 1765 and is said to have belonged to the Villeneuve family, a member of which was an illustrious admiral who served under Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. It is topped by a gabled tiled roof and has six storeys, two of which are below one of the street levels. The main entrance, on the western façade, is in a peaceful street, only a few steps from the village square, which is very lively in summer, with shops selling specialities of Provence and restaurants. In the façade, there is a carved solid wood door, which still has its original lock, adorned with a knocker. Above the door, there is a fanlight window decorated with ironwork bearing the Villeneuve monogram. Over the ironwork, a heart adorned with a fleur-de-lys engraved in the arch of the stone framing completes the ensemble. The house still has its original rendering on the main entrance side.

A 19th century townhouse in Le Castellet in Provence, with a floor area of 300 m² and panoramic views over the vineyards and the sea . The upper section of the house - the ground floor with terrace and upper floor - totalling almost 200 m², could be sold separately for €660,000. Once you have entered the village, admired the 17th-century wash-house and crossed the Place des Remparts, there is direct access to the lower part of the house - level B-2. Alternatively, once you have passed through the “Portalet” - the old fortified gateway - and followed the alleyways for 80 metres, you can reach the ground floor via the main entrance situated in the centre of the village. The terraced house has a four-storey southern facade. At once bright, impressive and graceful, it features two turrets framing the large terrace. This 18th- or 19th-century complex of almost 300 m², built atop the old ramparts, exudes a certain aesthetic and visual balance. The two-storey northern facade resembles a sober, generous 'bourgeois' residence. Its typical Provence style monk-and-nun tiled roof is bordered by a triple cornice of shortened tiles. Although most trips are made on foot to take full advantage of the pedestrianised streets and close proximity to shops in the village, a car can be parked along the south-facing facade. The public and residents' car park is around 150 m away.

An 18th-century village home with generous volumes, a garden and a swimming pool, 40 minutes from Toulouse as well as its airport, and 30 minutes from Montauban. The house is located in a small, peaceful street in the village centre, in a 14th-century priory that belonged to the Benedictine abbey that gave rise to the first settlement. The property is fully enclosed by 2-metre-high walls made of pink brick and stones from the River Garonne. The two-storey main building stands next to a single-level perpendicular wing to its left, topped by an approximately 65-m² roof terrace, which overlooks the swimming pool, is delimited by the rear of the neighbouring house and is lined by white stone balusters. To the right of the main section, a veranda opens onto a garden adorned with a pond. The edifice possesses a gabled roof made of half-round tiles, topped by a bell pinnacle that no longer houses its original occupant, and is underlined by a sober, terracotta cornice, which in turn is echoed by the belt course between the two levels. The façades are rendered, except on the exposed brick gable end, and are punctuated by mainly rectangular and regularly positioned windows with brick frames. On the ground floor, French windows in the main rooms provide direct access to the decking around the swimming pool. The distinctive features of this building are the ionic columns, which are relics of the former priory, framing two of the doors The property’s occupants benefit from the surrounding lush greenery, thanks to the shade provided by carefully planted hedges and the branches of a hundred-year-old tree in the garden of a neighbouring manor.

A former 18th century farmhouse which has been renovated and extended over the years in the hills of Green Provence, set in 1 hectare of grounds planted with lush vegetation. . After turning off a departmental road, the property is accessed via a roughly 100-metre-long dirt track, in the middle of the vines. A low wooden gate at the rear of the house to the north opens onto a vast, flat area where several vehicles can be parked, and where a remarkable oak tree which is over 400 years old takes pride of place. Behind it, a wooded area slopes down to the stream that runs along the western edge of the property. More than 1 hectare of dense vegetation surrounds the property, which is entirely enclosed, giving it the utmost privacy. Mainly facing south, the original residence was built in the early 18th century and underwent several extensions during the 19th and 20th centuries. The two-storey building has a double-pitched, canal-tiled roof edged with a double row of spandrels. The façades are rendered in an ochre colour and have large-paned windows and white wooden shutters. A veranda with white wrought-iron frames and a wisteria canopy was added in the 20th century and extends the west side of the main façade. Several delicately landscaped outdoor areas stretch out in front of and on either side of the building. A gravelled terrace with a fountain, planted with ancient plane trees, mulberry trees and a Canadian maple, runs along the front of the building and leads down a few steps to the pool area further down on the west side. On the other side of the terrace to the east, there is a stone basin above vegetable patches bordered by low drystone walls. Further down, there is a grassy area planted with olive trees before the orchard where several varieties of fruit trees are planted.

In Touraine, a 16th-century manor rehabilitated by J.-B. Astier de Villatte, along with its guest house, ornamental garden, and swimming pool. Accessible through a large oak door leading to a paved courtyard, the house is built of tuffeau over three levels, topped with a gabled roof of tiles and flanked on its east side by an imposing staircase tower. Built in the 16th century on older foundations, the residence underwent a complete rehabilitation at the end of the 2000s by Jean-Baptiste Astier de Villatte. The volumes have been rethought, while some openings have been modified or created to refine the perspectives and light inputs. The walls, plastered with lime, are punctually covered with enamel tiles, a signature of the decorative architect. The French-style ceilings, painted and delicately floral, converse with terracotta tiled floors, with shapes and patterns specifically designed for each room. Custom oak joinery is created, while furniture is designed, manufactured, and installed specifically for the space. At the rear of the house, on the garden side, a large tuffeau barn, topped with a slate roof, opens at the end of a paved stone path from Chauvigny. The restoration here is decidedly contemporary, with large volumes bathed in light thanks to wide openings with metal frames. The floors are laid with tomettes and the doors and frameworks are in oak. Between the two bodies of buildings, a classic-inspired garden structures the perspectives. It is planted with cypress trees, olive trees, rose bushes, and fruit trees. It organizes the transition to a relaxation space between the terrace, pool, and lawn. The property also includes two vaulted cellars, a well, and two outbuildings.This description has been automatically translated from French.

15 minutes from Saumur, in a village on the banks of the Loire, a 15th-century mansion, its guest house, winter garden, and hanging gardens. From a narrow street east of the town center, an iron gate framed by two pilasters opens onto a paved courtyard. This leads first to the main house, dating from the 15th century and rising three levels in tuffeau under a slate gabled roof. At the location of an old twin bay, the north facade is pierced by a molded mullioned window, above which is a semicircular window divided into two. The building is flanked to the west by a 16th-century stair tower, extended by a neoclassical rectangular structure dating from the 19th century. The latter is topped with a four-pitched roof pierced by a triangular pediment dormer. Corner pilasters with Ionic capitals, denticulated cornice, and paneled bays adorn the facades while a sculpted medallion depicting a page crowns the entrance. To the west, a guest house is accessible from the courtyard and by the street via a separate entrance. The tuffeau building rises three levels; the roof is slate. A winter garden is arranged on the top floor, facing one side onto a terrace and the other onto a formal garden, both on the slope and facing north towards the Loire. The rest of the property includes a vast vaulted cellar as well as a well.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A large 19th-century dwelling with a garden and sea views, in the historical centre of a village near Grasse. Located halfway down a pedestrian lane, the dwelling is aligned with its neighbouring, southwest-facing buildings, the rear exteriors of which enjoy unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside and the sea, thanks to the height of the hill. As for the dwelling, built out of pointed rubble stone, it has four storeys, plus an attic level, and is topped with a barrel tile gable roof, partially bordered by a double genoise cornice on its garden side. Featuring randomly-placed windows in a variety of shapes (square, rectangle or arched), partially safeguarded by wrought-iron grills or varnished wooden shutters, the dwelling has undergone many transformations between the Middle Ages – the period in which its foundations seem to have been built – and the 19th century, which has created, like in the neighbouring houses, a unique interior layout: some rooms having encroached on the adjacent buildings, while others have relinquished space to them. In addition, behind these dwellings, a series of well maintained terraced levels and gardens – including this property’s very own – facing south towards the coast, stretching from Antibes to Théoule, makes it seem as if the adjoining dwellings are overlooking a vast verdant garden landscaped into different areas and levels, even though each property’s access is limited to their own plot of land.

At the foot of the Vercors, 30 minutes from the Valence TGV station, a thermal spa from 1904 transformed into a family residence and its park. The Beaugaris site has been known since Antiquity, with the "Roman" spring that made it famous. In the early 20th century, Dr. Riory built a thermal establishment around the mineral water spring. A hotel was thus constructed in 1904. Accessible by a blue-painted metal gate at the end of a dead-end road, the property extends over 10 hectares and has two springs as well as four outbuildings. Beyond the old stables of the estate, a second wrought iron gate leads to the other buildings, habitable or not: the vaulted building that houses the spring, then the former hotel turned into a house, a pavilion, and a barn, all three adjacent. The simple facades of the various buildings were built of rubble and dressed stone joints, or in concrete and then plastered; their roofs, with two or four slopes, are made of terracotta or sheet metal. The main house, rectangular in plan, faces south and spans approximately 460 m² of living space, divided into five levels, almost entirely renovated, with a contemporary veranda of about 30 m², potentially habitable attic space, and a ventilated cellar. It includes twelve spacious bedrooms and four bathrooms or shower rooms; an independent apartment, with layout to be finalized, occupies the third floor. The independent pavilion, built near a corner of the house and extending over about 65 m², has been restored and extends onto a terrace. Suitable as a winter apartment, it includes a living room and a bedroom with a bathroom and a kitchen area. Not far away, the barn, approximately 150 m², built behind the main dwelling, houses an old bread oven and could be used for receptions or conferences. Under the terrace of the pavilion, the vaulted building, about 30 m², which covers the thermal spring, could be arranged as a winter lounge. Finally, what originally constituted stables, approximately 100 m², could be converted into a living space, among other possibilities. The estate also includes an old collector basin for thermal water, now converted into a swimming pool of 11 × 5 m with a telescopic shelter and panoramic terrace. The main house, the pavilion, and the basin have been renovated by the current occupants in the last five years.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A 19th-century farmhouse of white stone with a swimming pool, outbuildings and vast grounds, 15 minutes from the town of Lauzerte in France’s beautiful Quercy province. A lane snakes through the hamlet to a private, tarmacked court where you can move around smoothly and park vehicles, in the shade of a leafy horse-chestnut tree. This court, edged with shrubs and potted plants, links the different buildings together. On one side, there is a house of white Quercy stone with a ground floor and first floor. It is crowned with a gable roof of barrel tiles with a dormer on the south side and it is edged with a terrace, beyond which there is a garden with a swimming pool and meadows that extend across the hillside. Opposite the house, there is an outbuilding of white stone with a three-slope roof of barrel tiles. There is also an agricultural storage building with a three-slope roof, mostly of barrel tiles. The property lies at the edge of the hamlet and offers a magnificent view of the lush, wooded hills of the River Barguelonne valley. The house’s north elevation is coated with rendering and punctuated with eight openings, including two doors and five upstairs windows. They are fitted with shutters that are painted white. The western gable wall is made of exposed stonework and has three rectangular windows. On the first floor, these windows are set in white ashlar and fitted with similar shutters. The elevation on the opposite side has no openings. On the south side, plant containers and fragrant shrubs embellish a 30m² terrace of pale slabs that edges part of the south elevation, which is made of exposed stonework and brickwork. On the ground floor, there is a protruding section, which a second entrance door leads into. Three broad, rectangular windows look out from it. Upon this protruding section, there is a 40m² terrace edged with white-painted guardrails with a motif of circles. On the first floor, two windows fitted with shutters frame a door that leads out onto the terrace. These three openings, which are slightly arched, have surrounds of pale red brickwork.
