luxury contemporary houses for sale International (page 72)

In Bénodet, in southern Brittany, in a marine cove, a farmhouse and its outbuildings await renovation completion. The property is partially defined by old stone walls. It consists of three distinct sets. Facing the marine cove, a stone longhouse, an old agricultural outbuilding from the 18th or 19th century, requires a complete rehabilitation. Set back at an angle from its southern gable, a two-story farmhouse dates from the early 20th century. It is extended by a contemporary addition at its gable. Interior renovations have been started but need to be completed. A large shed, built at the end of the last century, closes off the northeast corner.This description has been automatically translated from French.

20 minutes to the east of Tours, a former outbuilding, transformed into a pleasant family home with a garden. An iron gate opens from the street onto a gravelled parking area that leads up to the courtyard in front of the entrance to the house on one side and to the garden at the foot of the slope on the other side. This former outbuilding has been fully transformed and was enhanced by an extension in 2005. While outside only the brick window frames and a part of the building pay witness to its past, inside the partially exposed stone walls are well-preserved and combine with modern architecture. It has been designed as a family home, with six bedrooms ready to welcome new occupants, large west-facing windows and a vast reception room that opens onto the garden. There are three cellars in the hill slope and a flight of steps leads to a wooded area at its summit.

Presented by James Cooper - Part of By Design’s network, with more than 25 years’ experience in the South Devon premium property market. Introduction Lillies is a striking contemporary home in a wonderfully peaceful position on the edge of Christow, within Dartmoor National Park and looking out across the Teign Valley. There is a calmness to the house that is immediately apparent. Light pours in through large expanses of glazing, the views are drawn into the main living spaces, and the layout has been designed to feel open, easy and sociable. Yet this is not simply a quiet retreat. Lillies is also a great house for entertaining, with generous open plan living space, terraces, bi-fold doors, a built-in wood fired oven and a natural flow between inside and out. It is the kind of house that works just as well for slow mornings and peaceful evenings as it does for parties, family gatherings and long summer lunches. Set in around 2.67 acres, with gardens, paddock, woodland, a triple garage and a separate studio, Lillies offers space, privacy and flexibility, sitting on the edge of Christow village, while still being in easy reach of Exeter, the A38, A30 and M5. The Inside The house has a distinctive contemporary design, with white rendered elevations, honey-coloured stone and a slate roof with deep eaves. Inside, the feeling is light, open and calming, with floor to ceiling windows helping to frame the outlook and bring the outside in. The main living space sits at the heart of the house. The sitting room, dining area and kitchen/breakfast room work together beautifully, creating a sociable layout that feels relaxed and practical for everyday life, while also being ideal for entertaining. The sitting and dining areas are interlinked and share an exposed stone wall with a double-sided fireplace, giving warmth and character to the contemporary interior. Large sliding doors open directly onto the terrace and garden, so in the warmer months the house can open up and flow naturally outside. One of the more unexpected features is the study space, accessed via a hidden bookshelf door off the living room. It is a lovely detail and gives the house a sense of fun, while also providing a useful quiet space for working from home, reading or escaping from the busier parts of the house. The kitchen/breakfast room is generous and well planned, with plenty of space around a large central island and a wide oak work surface for informal dining. It has a relaxed country feel, with farmhouse-style units, built-in electric appliances and a slate tiled floor, but the layout keeps it firmly part of the main living and entertaining space. A real highlight is the built-in wood fired oven, perfect for pizza, roasts or relaxed cooking whatever the weather. The bi-fold doors beside it open directly onto the rear patio, making this a brilliant space for hosting, with food, drinks and guests moving easily between the kitchen and outside. Also on the ground floor are a utility room, boot room and cloakroom, which are all valuable additions for a home with land, gardens and plenty of outdoor space. Upstairs, the part-galleried landing leads to four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite includes a large dressing room with built-in wardrobes, an en suite bath and shower room, and its own balcony overlooking the garden, grounds and the views beyond. The guest bedroom has an en suite shower room, while the two further double bedrooms are served by the family bath and shower room. Two of the bedrooms also have access to a further balcony, again making the most of the outlook. The Outside Lillies is approached down a lane, with a gated turn-off leading into a large gravelled parking area with space for several vehicles. One of the real strengths outside is the garage building. This is a substantial detached structure and far more than just garaging. On the ground floor there is a triple garage, providing excellent storage and parking, but the scale of the building means it could lend itself to a wide range of future uses, depending on someone’s needs. It could work well for car storage, bikes, workshop space, a gym, hobbies, or potentially something more ambitious, subject to any necessary permissions. Above the garage is a really spacious studio with its own shower and WC. This gives the property a huge amount of flexibility. It could make a fantastic home office, creative studio, guest space or ancillary accommodation to the main house. There may also be potential for it to be used as a holiday let, subject to the necessary permissions. The gardens wrap mainly around the eastern side of the house, where a paved terrace looks over the lawn and out towards the paddock beyond. The lawn is bordered by post and rail fencing, creating a natural divide between the immediate garden and the land. There is also a further paved terrace to the front of the house, which faces west and enjoys the evening sun, but it is the rear garden that really adds to the way the house can be enjoyed. From the kitchen, bi-fold doors open directly onto a large patio area, creating a natural entertaining space that works wonderfully, especially with the built-in wood fired oven. From here, a sloped path leads up to a level lawn, where there is a summer house with power. This could work well as a garden store, home office, studio or simply a quiet garden room, depending on how a new owner wants to use the space. A further path leads down the side of the property to a covered seating area, ideal for sitting outside when you want to escape the sun or enjoy the garden in a more sheltered spot. Together, these outside spaces give Lillies a lovely balance. It is peaceful and calming day to day, but also a brilliant house for entertaining, with space for summer lunches, drinks with friends, family gatherings and pizza evenings whatever the weather. Behind the garage is a small area of woodland and the paddock lies beyond the garden and is bounded by a stream along the northern side. Altogether, the gardens, paddock and woodland amount to approx 2.67 acres. Location Lillies is tucked away, but not isolated, on the western side of the Teign Valley within Dartmoor National Park. Christow village centre is approximately 0.7 miles away and offers a good range of local amenities, including a community shop, doctor's surgery, a primary school, church, pub and community hall. The surrounding countryside is a major part of the appeal. The property sits close to Tottiford and Kennick reservoirs, with Dartmoor, the Teign Valley and open countryside on your doorstep, making this a wonderful area for walking, cycling and enjoying the outdoors. Moretonhampstead is around 6 miles away and offers further day-to-day amenities, while Exeter city centre is approximately 10 miles away, providing a much wider choice of shops, restaurants, schools, transport links and cultural facilities. The property is well connected by road, with the A38 Devon Expressway just 7 miles away, the A30 around 8 miles and the M5 motorway within 10 miles. Exeter St David's station, around 10 miles away, offers regular high-speed services to London Paddington and Waterloo, while Exeter Airport is 15.5 miles away. There is a good choice of schooling within easy reach, including the primary school in Christow, and independent schools such as Stover School, Exeter School, Exeter Cathedral School and The Maynard.

On the edge of Morvan, in Nivernais, between Châtillon-en-Bazois and Château-Chinon, a fortified house from the 14th century, its outbuildings, and its estate of 17 hectares. Spanning an area of about 17 hectares, the estate is situated at an altitude of 300 meters and enjoys a continental climate. Mainly composed of fertile pastures, it has four ponds located to the south of the fortified house, aligned along an east-west axis that follows the slight slope of the land. To the north, three imposing barns, with facades made of plastered stones and roofs of traditional flat tiles, mechanical tiles, or slates, mark the entrance to the property. The residence consists of two buildings arranged at a right angle and adjoined by a square plan main tower, mentioned as early as 1443. The tower has retained its gun loopholes in its upper part, characteristic of its original defensive use. Its four-pitched roof is covered with Burgundy tiles, like the roofs of the residence, and is topped with two ridge finials while two dormer windows light up the attic of the residence. Access to the gravelled inner courtyard, located to the east of the fortified house, is through a small gatehouse whose porch is supported by two rounded arches. A more recent house, attached to the gatehouse, now houses the boiler room and a workshop. Finally, a second tower, to the south, attached to the main body of the residence, contains a spiral stone staircase. Between the two towers, the east and west facades of the dwelling, which has two levels under the roof, pierced by mainly straight openings and an oculus, are quite sober, covered everywhere except for the stone framing. Another character element contributing to the soul of the place is a contemporary garden created by the current occupants. The estate has retained its medieval appearance, and archival research has identified the presence of an ancient lordship from the first half of the 14th century.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Île Saint-Germain. Sheltered from prying eyes, in one of the most confidential environments at the gates of Boulogne-Billancourt, this spectacular architect-designed house imagined by Pascale Creux develops nearly 475 m² of volumes open to light, vegetation, and the Seine (275 m² of living space and 200 m² of finished basement).Built in 2005 in the heart of a 400 m² garden, this standalone property offers a rare atmosphere: that of a contemporary house designed as a true family living space, where each area interacts with the outdoors. Surrounded by greenery, lulled by the calm and reflections of the river, it seems suspended between nature and architecture.From the first steps, the volumes impress.

The living room, dining room, and spacious dining kitchen form a spectacular, fluid, and convivial ensemble, extended by large south-facing terraces.The house is organized on several levels with remarkable fluidity. A mezzanine hosts an office space overlooking the reception areas, while the master suite benefits from its own south-facing terrace, a true intimate retreat open to the greenery.The night spaces offer five bedrooms and three bathrooms. An independent studio, integrated into the house but having its own private access, offers multiple possibilities: guest accommodation, offices, independent activity, or a space dedicated to teenagers.On the top level, an exceptional terrace of nearly 130 m² offers completely unobstructed views of the rooftops, the Seine, and the Eiffel Tower. A spectacular rooftop, with no overlooking, equipped with a pergola, a solarium area, and a jacuzzi, designed as an additional open-air living space.The lower level further enhances the unique character of this property.
