luxury real estate for sale Fourquevaux, France (page 9)

20 minutes to the south of Toulouse, with tree-filled grounds and a remarkable swimming pool, a 19th-century family home carefully renovated into a bucolic event space. At the end of the first driveway that provides access to the departmental road, a majestic willow tree overhangs the small wooden bridge, which marks the property’s entrance. Previously used to provide water for livestock, a water lily-carpeted pond sets the tone, a first and graceful indication of the estate’s overall floral aesthetic. Surrounded by greenery, a winding driveway then leads to the long building, recounting centuries of successive constructions, in which welcoming suites have replaced the feed cellars. Three clearly defined spaces, the reception space, the guest house and the private area come one after another and are extended by elegant patios in front of each of their façades. The farmhouse occupies the eastern part of the property, which extends over 1.7 hectares with blooming flowers and trees. The building, with typically Toulouse-style architecture, alternates brick and stone compositions with foundations plastered in lime whitewash. To the north, it is protected by woods whose oak and acacia trees supply fuel for the house’s fireplace. The swimming pool, awarded with a gold medal for the most beautiful design in France by the Federation of Swimming Pool Professionals, adorns the southwest wing of the house with its harmonious conception. The orchard’s fruit trees take full advantage of their southern orientation to provide ripe seasonal fruit. Light-coloured, made-to-measure reception tents blend harmoniously with the surrounding nature.

A 188-m2 triplex flat with a rooftop patio in a small collective ownership property within the Carmes neighbourhood of Toulouse. Near the Place des Carmes and its green market, on a street with a number of noteworthy buildings dating from the reconstruction of Toulouse after the Renaissance, the flat is located on the two upper floors of a terracotta brick building from the 18th century, which also includes five other flats. Understated in style, its cream-colour plaster-coated brick façade is decorated with moulded cornices under its arched brick window surrounds. This flat includes two main levels: a floor plate of 75 m2 located on the building’s second storey, connected by a central staircase to another floor plate of 90 m2 on the third, which could be separated in order to create individual flats. The flat’s first floor has an immense floor-to-ceiling height, massive main beams supporting the ceiling joists and three bedrooms, two of which face the street, while a storeroom in the centre of the flat could be converted into a kitchen and laundry room. The flat’s second floor includes a large living room facing the street, a bedroom and a fitted kitchen with solid wood cupboards. With a terracotta tile floor, the living room is also decorated with the mantle of a fireplace, although the flat is now heated by a reversible heat pump, which is also used for the air-conditioning. In addition, many cupboards and storage spaces can be found in all the rooms. From the flat’s second floor, a contemporary staircase merges with the old and provides access to a large living room located under the roof eaves, bathed in light by a skylight on the roof’s eastern slope as well as a set of glass doors opening onto a sizeable patio that overlooks the city to the west. Lastly, on the side opposite the street, an independent space with an entrance accessible from the stairwell includes a large wooden landing painted white and a room that could be turned into an office.

A house and its outbuildings with plenty of character, set in 3 ha of gardens and meadows, at the edge of a small village in the Haute-Garonne. The property, built between pastures and gardens, is situated at the entrance to the village. The main residence, like the opposite barn, is of Garonne pebbles and Toulouse terracotta bricks known as 'brique foraine'. This type of brick was used from the 11th to the 19th century in the Toulouse region, marking its buildings and their architectural style. Built in the 18th century, and somewhat modified since then, the farmhouse has three levels and warmly coloured facades with symmetrical arched openings surrounded by brick frames, typical of large farms. On the first two levels of the southern facade, the windows are small paned, double glazed and fitted with blue painted shutters. The windows are narrow and simple on the third level of the south facade and on the two upper levels of the north facade; the twenty-six closely spaced windows that distinguish this rear facade had to be created to ventilate the attics. In addition, the four elevations are dotted with small rectangular openings with brick frames, the purpose of which was also to ventilate the building. At a certain distance, an imposing hangar with large symmetrical brick arches and large wooden doors faces the farmhouse. Between the two buildings of equal dimensions, there is a garden with a swimming pool and a pool house. In addition, to the rear of the main building, a building divided into two flats has also retained its authentic character with a construction of traditional stone, brick and tile. The roofs of the various buildings - the farmhouse, the hangar and the residence - are respectively two- or three-pitched and clad with monk-and-nun tiles. The roof of the main building is topped by a dovecote with a rectangular base. The complex is surrounded by an ornamental garden, an orchard and a meadow.

A 19th century chateau, its greenhouse and wooded grounds 30 minutes from Toulouse city centre, in the heart of the countryside. The property is accessed via an unpaved track lined with centuries-old trees leading to an iron gate. Flanked by two Roman columns adorned with capitals featuring antique terracotta vases, the gates open onto a driveway lined with four yew trees leading to the chateau. This first section of the grounds, enclosed by a low wall topped with railings, provides parking for several vehicles. At the heart of the property, a central corps de logis and two wings frame a rectangular main courtyard facing due west, paved with Garonne pebbles surrounding a central earth platform where the vegetation has taken its rightful place. The original building, a farm, was included in the first regional land register, drawn up in 1825. The grounds feature a row of three 300-year-old cedar trees, suggesting that the original owners were Protestants. Given monumental form between 1870 and 1875 with the addition of a second storey and neo-Classical and neo-Gothic decorative elements, the main building now has four storeys. Flanked by four watchtowers, its symmetrical facades are punctuated by alternating arched and straight windows, with brick surrounds and wooden shutters painted light blue. Two stringcourses, also of red brick, mark the separations between the three levels. The semi-circular French windows facing the main courtyard or the parklands have balconies with wrought iron guardrails. The four-pitched roof is of slate. Each of the two wings of the chateau is two storeys high and topped by a gable roof of monk-and-nun tiles. The western end of the roof features a pediment crowned with terracotta pine cones. The north wing contains a gallery, a reception room and a mezzanine that opens onto a long balcony; the south wing comprises a vast conservatory and a gîte with a separate terrace. Two side extensions with monk-and-nun tile roofs form the link between the corps de logis and the wings. All the walls are rendered in light yellow, complementing the colours of the vines that grow along the facades and that of the flowering bushes in the main courtyard. Finally, the chateau is surrounded by 8,000 m² of grounds, including an outbuilding with a large swimming pool.

A 19th century chateau and its outbuildings in 4 ha of parklands, 40 km to the south of Toulouse. The “Domaine d’Ampouillac”, composed of land and houses, has been known by this name since the 10th century. Initially annexed to the Cuxa Monastery, in 1209 the estate and the priory became part of the Boulbonne Abbey, created in 1129 near to Mazères. The monks of this Cistercian Abbey farmed Ampouillac’s land and that of some adjoining estates, such as Baissac, Artenac and several others. The remoteness of Mazères meant that the monks had to construct buildings for their accommodation on the land they were farming. Said buildings, known as Cistercian barns, were to remain the property of Boulbonne Abbey until the time of the French Revolution when, as a result of the revolutionary riots, Ampouillac was partially destroyed. All that remained was the basement of the “barn” and the current ground floor as is proved by the architecture and the thickness of the walls. In 1791, Ampouillac, was declared National Property and sold. The buyer reconstructed it from the ruins as is explained on the plaque on the stairway. It was also at this time that the first-floor lounge was created and decorated. Ampouillac was to remain in the hands of the same family until 1879 when it was sold to an industrialist from Toulouse. The building currently spans three levels over cellars, the latter being the old, 11th century, Cistercian barns.

A 15th-century chateau with three gîtes and 6 5 hectares of grounds, nestled in France’s Lauragais province, 45 minutes south-east of Toulouse. From a country lane, the property’s main gate leads into a gravel court. The chateau and the three gîtes stand at the edge of this court. The property is made up grounds that cover 6.5 hectares and include woods and meadows. The gîtes lie at a right angle to the chateau. This layout structures the property, directs the flow of vehicles and pedestrians and separates the holiday homes from the grand edifice. The facades face different directions and gaze at the horizon. The back of the gîtes looks at a side wall of the chateau, with which the gîtes edge a court lined with trees and shrubby hedges. There are two swimming pools: one behind the chateau and the other one next to the gîtes. The property dates back to 1492. Under an order from King Louis XIV of France, the chateau was extended and the Countess of Toulouse then lived in it. The edifice was redesigned in the centuries that followed, but its main section with three floors has kept its medieval appearance with a round tower flanking it and limestone masonry forming its old walls. Its facade is punctuated with windows in perfect symmetry. These windows are arched at the top. Their surrounds are made of dressed stone, their frames are made of wood and their shutters and pane bars are painted white. The rear face is different. The windows are similarly arched but laid out around several axes of symmetry and extensions adjoin the chateau on this side too: two orangeries that were built at each end of the main section. These two orangeries are identical to each other. Both are single-storey structures bathed in light from panels of glazing made up of small panes. Today, they house a wide range of plants. The outbuildings are made up of four structures built on a slope in a long row with different roof heights. Windows punctuate the walls asymmetrically. These windows are of varying shapes, sizes and materials. The roofs of the property’s different buildings are covered in monk-and-nun tiling and have either one or two slopes. Brick chimney stacks dot these roofs.

An old water mill surrounded by 2 5 hectares of grounds and meadows close to a large village in the Lauragais region. As you approach the property, both the outdoor spaces and the buildings are hidden from view by a large hedge, formed from a mixture of different tree species. As soon as you cross the property threshold, you are surrounded by greenery, with the stone façade of the main building, a beautiful sheltered terrace and a weeping willow on the perimeter. The old mill is made up of two rectangular spaces with perpendicular axes, each covered by a gable roof of canal tiles. The roof of the space spanning the river is asymmetrical as its ridge is not aligned with the central arch that forms the main axis of the building on the first floor. To the rear of the building, a timber-framed canopy with a canal tile roof extends the building, which has a recessed facade. A few steps away there is an outbuilding housing the horse stables and at its eastern end, a small apartment. The stone walls are rendered white and the roofs are covered with canal tiles. An open gallery with a wooden structure runs along two-thirds of the length of the building's main south-facing facade. At its ends, two low projections extend the building, forming the southern part of the apartment to the east and a shed to the west. A garage with a similar structure and roof to that of the main outbuilding is attached to the west facade. Further on, there is a large shed for tractors and equestrian equipment.

A 79-m² duplex 3-bedroom apartment with a sheltered garden in Toulouse, in a quiet, elegant street in the Guilheméry district. The apartment occupies three quarters of an ideally situated townhouse and is made up of an open-plan ground floor with bedrooms on the first floor. The main entrance opens out onto an inner courtyard that connects to the street. It leads to a pleasant living room, divided into an open-plan dining room and a slightly lower lounge area. Following on from the lounge area, the office/library area also serves as a spare bedroom and could be easily converted into a master bedroom thanks to its spaciousness and adjoining bathroom. With outside access via a door also opening into the courtyard, it could possibly be converted into an independently occupied space, depending on the future owners’ desires. A small, well-designed kitchen area completes the living area. The patio door can easily stay open when the weather is fine, allowing the occupants to enjoy the tree-lined patio and its secret garden, which is not overlooked, adding 45m² to the living space. Separated by a corridor, up a flight of stairs, there are two bedrooms flooded with light on the first floor, as well as a second bathroom. Wood stripped flooring has pride of place throughout the apartment, giving it a gentle, homely feel matching the warm family atmosphere of the district.

A large family house with listed grounds that cover over 6,000m², near the River Garonne in Blagnac, on the outskirts of Toulouse. The property features a grand, spacious house that dates back to the first half of the 20th century. Its lush grounds, which cover around 6,000m², surround the fine dwelling and include trees of many different species. These remarkable wooded grounds are listed and walled. Sweet birdsong can be heard on these bucolic grounds. The pleasant scent of undergrowth here is magical. Two gates lead into the property. One stands beside the house. And vehicles can drive through the second one, in the corner of the grounds. The house was built in the traditional style of 1930s villas in a Mediterranean spirit that can be seen in its gently sloping roof, its roof terrace and its covered entrance area with pillars and steps leading down to the garden. Its stone elevations are rendered and its rectangular windows are set in brick surrounds and evenly spaced out. They are separated by a stringcourse that runs between the two floors and underlines the first-floor windows. The house’s east and north elevations face the grounds. Many windows bring natural light inside and offer views down over the lush grounds. The house is crowned with a hipped roof of barrel tiles with three roof windows and two chimney stacks. The building has a ground floor, a first floor and a basement that extends beneath the entire house. Extra rooms have been made in the roof space too.

An elegant 19th century chateau, its orangery, guest houses, water feature and 10 hectares of grounds, just 40 minutes from Toulouse city centre. The main entrance to the estate is situated away from the main thoroughfares, and leads to an earthen esplanade bordered by a low wall protecting a cypress hedge. Braced by two fluted, rusticated columns with floral motifs, the wrought iron gate with its fine scrolls opens onto a driveway that winds through the parkland featuring centuries-old trees. To the left, perched on a small hill, the five-storey chateau overlooks the entire estate. Built on the site of a former 16th-century fortified castle, it has a four-sided slate roof. Its perron offers a view over the park and its lawn, which gently slopes towards the main entrance. To the west of the chateau, there is a dovecote with arcades and a pagoda-like flat-tile roof topped by a lantern. The remaining outbuildings are situated to the south, in the eastern part of the grounds: they comprise villas that have been turned into gîtes (guest lodgings), as well as another annexe awaiting restoration. Opposite the chateau, a water feature takes pride of place in the centre of the lawn, bordered by centuries-old trees. To the right, there is a swimming pool with pool house, followed by an orangery. The orangery is bordered by a terrace that runs along one side of the pond and preceded by a parking area. Finally, a track at the back leads to a tennis court and to one of the estate's secondary entrances. It should be noted that the estate, which is still in activity, will be sold in the form of two companies: a SCI (non-trading property company) owning the land and a SARL (limited liability company) operating the estate, which will manage events and hospitality rentals. As a result, the property benefits from attractive tax incentives.

A large property with two Neo-Basque style houses and grounds of 8,000 m² on the banks of the Garonne River, less than 10 minutes by car from the centre of Toulouse. The property includes two houses surrounded by grounds of approximately 8,000 m², bordered on one side by the Garonne River flowing towards the city and, on the other, the road running alongside the river. The first house, which dates from the end of the 1930s and requires some renovation work, has a floor area of 224 m², while the second, built at a later time, but inspired by the same architectural style, has a floor area of 136 m². Both are extended by a patio and face the grounds that gently descend towards the banks of the Garonne. The property is accessible via two entrances from the road that runs parallel to the river and leads to the city centre, while an exterior private parking area adjacent to the property has enough room to park five vehicles. The first entrance opens onto a landscaped space, where it is also possible to park a car, and from which a path using irregular cut stone, in the Ancient Roman style, leads to the main house. Alongside the landscaped garden softly descending towards the river, the first house on the right includes a cellar, ground floor, upstairs and an attic space. A patio abuts its western façade and provides a vertiginous view of the carefully maintained garden, followed by the Garonne River peacefully flowing towards Toulouse. The path then continues and goes past a covered agricultural storage building, which has enough room for three more vehicles, followed by a French-style landscaped garden before ending with a green lawn in the middle of which lies the rectangular turquoise blue swimming pool. The second house is located in the property’s southeast corner and includes a cellar, ground floor, an adjacent garage and an upstairs, while its patio overlooks the lawn descending towards the river. Like the main dwelling, its understated faux timber-framed and plaster-coated façades are cadenced by a variety of rectilinear windows, while its overhanging gabled roof is covered in barrel tiles.
