An old house, outbuilding and walled garden in the heart of a village in the Drôme provençale . The residence is located in a quiet lane within the old ramparts. It was probably rebuilt in the middle of the 16th century and has preserved some of its original features: mullioned windows, spiral staircase and fireplace. On three levels, it covers some 340 m², around 200 m² of which is currently fitted out. Its east-west exposure ensures it gets plenty of sunshine throughout the day, while its thick walls keep it cool in summer. Its façades, built of local stone, are partly grown over with Virginia creeper and have three types of windows: straight and simple, with mullions, and with low arches. From the street, it is accessed via two stone steps, which have been worn down over the centuries, and a painted wooden entrance door with moulded panels, surrounded by ashlar just like the windows. The door is topped by a small oeil-de-bœuf window. The decorative features are extremely restrained, reduced to the robust moulded frames that emphasise the windows. Lastly, its roof, characteristic of Provencal houses with its two slopes, canal tiles and three rows of genoise, accentuates its traditional character. The house, which has been partly restored, has retained the soul of a village house. Care has been taken to preserve its original features, while incorporating contemporary comforts such as efficient heating. A walled garden runs along the back of the house, protecting its occupants from disturbance from the street.

The house stands in the upper part of the village, on a road that leads to its 12th-century chapel. The garden covers a rectangular plot on a gentle slope with a far-reaching view over the village’s rooftops and church tower and, further away, the slopes west of Lyon, made up of meadows and pine forests. The main dwelling looks out over the whole garden to offer a delightful vista of the grassy, south-west-facing expanse dotted with trees. Through a double garage, you can enter the property from the north, while a second distinct entrance leads to the annexes and garden, which can be built upon.

In Beaujolais, at the entrance of a chateau's park, an old outbuilding has been converted into a contemporary dwelling along with its 1,780 m² land. The house, built in an L-shape, is situated at the entrance of the triangular plot extending down to the nearby stream. It retains the characteristics of 19th-century outbuildings, featuring prominent eaves that protect the clay-lime plastered facades. The gabled roofs, covered with terracotta canal tiles, highlight the pediment crowning the tall central bay window. Likely stemming from a dual purpose, combining agricultural activity and housing for the property's caretaker, the now renovated house must have once included an area to shelter horses, as well as another for the horse owners. Both areas were opened up and unified by an architect in the 2000s, creating a contemporary residential farm spanning 247 m². In the grassy grounds planted with large trees, beyond the well, stands a small building for storing equipment and garden furniture.This description has been automatically translated from French.

In Isère, at the gates of the Blue Valley and the Chartreuse Natural Park, a 18th-century Dauphiné house and its land of over 5,000 m². Accessible via a departmental road, the property reveals itself at the center of a grassy and wooded plot, surrounded by mature vegetation that protects it from any overlooking. Seen from the sky, the whole reveals a characteristic L-shape plan, articulating two distinct volumes around an inner courtyard open to the garden. The main body, facing south, rises three levels above the ground floor and is topped with an ancient flat tile four-sided roof, pierced with dormer windows. A conical-roofed tower, an architectural signature of the Dauphiné stronghold, punctuates the northeast corner of the building. The facades, coated with lime in light ochre tones, are rhythmically punctuated with numerous small-pane windows, equipped with blue-gray painted wooden shutters, a characteristic color of the Isère heritage. A French window topped with a wrought iron balcony animates the facade side of the garden. In line with this, a second building, lower in height, at ground level, extends the whole to the west. Covered with ancient tiles, it complements the composition into a homogeneous whole in its materials and architectural language. The land is planted with tall-stemmed trees that frame the property.This description has been automatically translated from French.

The property is part of a housing development made up of four homes behind a shared, secure automatic gate with an entrance code. A tarmacked drive leads up to the side of the house, which is made up of a rectangular section flanked by two octagonal towers on each side.

In the green Beaujolais, in a village near the Lake of Pines, a 190 m² master house from the early 20th century on a plot of 3,440 m². Not far from the church but oriented towards the outskirts of the village, the sloping land faces the forest-covered Beaujolais mountains. Crossing the entrance gate, on the flat part of the estate, the main facade of the house emerges, built in the early 20th century, with a detached porch dedicated to vehicle parking, around a gravel courtyard. Built according to a classic square plan, the main living area follows the codes of the bourgeois country house of its era: topped with a four-pitched roof, part of which is visible in slate, pierced by large openings, it is characterized by an architectural feature of its designer, borrowed from Anglo-Norman houses: a 'bow-window' or 'glazed oriel' projection with a polygonal shape on the ground floor, surmounted by a balcony on the first level. To the south, from the side of the elevated terrace, the land extends towards the river, with a view that stretches far over the surrounding countryside and the geometrically shaped swimming pool.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Immediately close to the village, with a dominant view, the residence is established in a walled park planted with classified trees and graced with a rock garden waterfall as well as a body of water. The building complex is organized around the master house, with a surface area of about 540 m², oriented northwest, rising two and a half levels over a basement and under a slate roof. Built in several phases, the house consists of an initial building dating back to 1851, flanked by two advanced sections, to which a second living unit was added on the west side in 1870, rhythmically accented by a turret. The facade, whose light coating reveals the visible bricks, is animated by balconies, two greenhouses, a raised porch topped with a canopy, and a large terrace. Further on, there is the caretaker's house, which has an independent access, and various outbuildings.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A 17th century stately manor house, its outbuildings and chapel surrounded by 1.8 hectares of grounds in the “Hauts du Beaujolais” region . The property, completely enclosed by high stone walls, comes into view at the end of a country lane, half-way up a hill crowned with woodland. This vast rural space is shared with a group of 19th century farm buildings and greenhouses that used to form an integral part of the property. The high, golden stone walls typical of the nearby Beaujolais region protect the 1.8 ha of grounds, which form two different parts of the estate. On the one hand, in the immediate vicinity of the manor house, there is a parterre with a geometric Latin cross pattern emphasised by angular topiaries, leading to a lateral access ramp to the terrace of the residence known as 'the chateau'. On the other hand, taking up the rest of the grounds, there is an English-style landscaped garden bordered on one side by a small canal and a dormant orchard below. A majestic bicentennial Lebanese cedar dominates the landscaped garden, towering over most of the other conifers and the lime trees. A very large pool, which could be converted into a swimming pool, appears at the bend of the ramp leading to the terrace of the manor house, next to the unpaved track leading to a votive chapel at the far end of the grounds. To the north, a group of outbuildings is arranged in a U-shape around the residence. Together with the rear elevation of the manor house, it forms a carriage courtyard, accessed via a service gate. These vast outbuildings, which include a caretaker's cottage, a stable and barns, are in need of complete restoration. The family, who lived here from the beginning of the 18th century until 1943, with a tragic incident during the French Revolution, left numerous remains, testimonials and archives. The estate was dedicated exclusively to agriculture. Over the centuries, this has protected the authenticity of the original materials that make up the buildings, witnesses of a number of traditional skills, many of which have now disappeared.

A 16th-century manor house and its heated swimming pool, in the foothills overlooking the Ardèche River, upstream from the town of Aubenas. First mentioned as of 1414, the Fabrias fiefdom is part of a long history: built on behalf of the Lord of Chanaleilles, who made it his stronghold until 1735, it was constructed over the vestiges of a ruin, as attested by a construction note from 1610. It was then passed into the hands of Cappendu de Remeuil, architect to the King and a prominent figure in the region, before becoming the residence of Agnès Perrin-Lacroix in 1986, who eventually sold it to its current owners in 2005. Appearing to have been built mostly over the same time period, the house’s walls, the thickness of which varies between 0.98 and 1.3 metres, bear witness to a solid and long-lasting construction. As for its interior, chestnut ceiling beams cadence the space, while the floors juxtapose hardwood and original terracotta tiles, some of which are hand painted. In addition, behind the house, an immense cistern hollowed out of the rock, visible in certain areas, collects rainwater, whereas, higher up and sheltered from view, a swimming pool, heated by the sun, is supplied with the white water of the surrounding natural springs. Built into the rock itself, the property, in perfect harmony with its environment, also comes with a former threshing platform located on the other side of the small street and facing the house’s front door, which is now used as a patio overlooking a garden in which a stream snakes its way through olive and fruit trees as well as other vegetation native to the South of France.
