A chateau from the 16th and 17th centuries listed as a Historical Monument, its outbuildings and equestrian facilities over 18 hectares of grounds between the Sarthe, Mayenne and Maine-et-Loire departments, near Sablé. Two drives lead to a carriage entrance topped with a pediment that opens onto a grand courtyard. On one side, is the chateau and, on the other, an immense outbuilding, both façades of which are punctuated by pruned yew trees, while a covered well is located in the centre. The current chateau corresponds to the former abbatial dwelling: this is where the Abbot resided, in the western wing of the abbey that once stood here. During the 18th century, the court was at Versailles and the buildings were spruced up and converted so they could be rented out, therefore providing the abbey with some revenue. With three storeys, including an attic level, the chateau is made out of plaster-coated stone and rubble stone. On the side facing the grounds, its slate hipped roof is cadenced by four bull’s-eye windows, while, on the side facing the courtyard, there are three attic dormer windows grouped together under a single pediment in addition to four other dormer windows. Both the chateau’s east and west exteriors are crowned with a pediment on their roofs, which is then repeated above the central entrance on each side. With window and door surrounds decorated with smooth rusticated stonework, the three doors on the chateau’s façade are topped with either curvilinear or triangular pediments, while its quoins, cornice and dormer windows are made out of ashlar stone. Inside, the chateau has conserved its original décor: cartouches, medallions, chimneybreasts, decorative window and door surrounds, wood panelling, marble and stone, while the size of the magnificent rooms as well as their floor-to-ceiling height add to the chateau’s overall grandeur. In addition to the topiary garden on the chateau’s eastern side, there is also a dovecote, orchard, vegetable garden, ornamental trees and a stream, which is straddled by an old bridge flanked by the columns of an ancient carriage entrance. All around, the grounds are made up of pastures, tall trees and a small wood, while equestrian facilities have been created to the west of the outbuilding, on the side facing the grounds. These include wooden paddocks, a riding ring and an area for the horses to rest and relax. The carriage entrance, the chateau’s exteriors as well as its entrance hall, vast living room, dining room and seven bedrooms are listed as national historical monuments as are the well and bridge, while the outbuilding’s exteriors and the dovecote are registered as regional historical monuments.

In the Sarthe valley, near Sablé, an old mill with water rights on nearly 1 hectare. From the village, a street then a path descends toward the mill, bordered by its canal and the stream, beyond which are meadows surrounded by trees. While the mill's location is very old, the current building dates from the first half of the 19th century. An exclusive fishing right is attached to the property. The entrance is marked by a white-painted wooden gate that opens onto a paved courtyard, with the living quarters on one side and a garden and pool on the other. A walkway over the canal allows access to the sluices. Renovated, the mill consists of two buildings. The main wing, square in shape, is raised over two stories. The facades are plastered to reveal the stone and are pierced with openings, some of which are semi-circular with brick framing. An open loggia to the west overlooks the courtyard and the river. The gabled roof of tiles is topped with two Jacobin dormers. Another wing, rectangular, is raised over one level and is distinguished by its slate roofing.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A 17th-century dwelling with its convertible outbuildings and grounds of 1.7 hectares, on the outskirts of a village near Angers and the banks of the Loire. A country road provides access to the property’s entrance gate, which opens onto a lane that traverses a portion of the grounds, passes in front of the dwelling’s façade, before ending in the outbuildings’ courtyard, facing west.

An immense farmhouse, its guesthouse and swimming pool, on grounds of 4,400 m², only a few kilometres from the ocean, in the Breton Marshes of Vendée. Surrounded by canals, both large and small, water is used as a natural property line to the south, while hedgerows of tamarisk line either side of the small access lane, which leads to a double gate framed by white pillars. The latter opens on to a grassy drive that eventually leads to the house of 232 m², after passing, on one side, a separate cottage of around 32 m², which abuts a garage of approximately 33 m². Constructed horizontally with one storey, these two buildings are typical of rural hamlets in the Vendée region, while the U-shaped farmhouse features a silhouette emblematic of traditional architecture, which has now been adapted to a more contemporary living style. Featuring stone walls covered in white roughcast rendering that reflect the smallest amount of sunlight, its shutters, painted grey-blue, recall the reflections of the nearby ocean, whereas its gently sloping gable roofs clearly stand out from the landscape thanks to the orangey colour of its barrel tiles, which are highlighted, in turn, by an immaculate genoise cornice. As for the central building, framed by two wings added at a later date, it encloses an immense space designed for leisure and well-being. In the middle, the turquoise swimming pool and spa create a haven for relaxation, protected from the wind and sheltered from view thanks to dense vegetation, while palms, olives and a variety of shrubs ubiquitous to southern France create an almost island-like feel here. Lastly, extending over approximately 4,400 m², the verdant property is planted with an array of mature trees and shrubs, which provide plenty of shade as well as privacy for the whole.

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.

A 16th-century manor, its outbuildings and 10-hectare grounds, nestled within the countryside of the Guérande peninsula. Along a secondary road bordered by trees, a gate marks the entrance to the property. From a car park, a drive leads to the main courtyard, around which the buildings are grouped, whereas the estate itself was originally built for a lord from the Guérande peninsula and was modified and adapted over the centuries in several different stages: the dwelling’s central building was extended in the 17th century, a floor was added atop the right-angle wing in the 18th century, before being renovated and modernised in the early 2000s. To the east, the 16th-century main dwelling features two storeys as well as an attic level, while the central building and its right-angle wing create an L-shaped ensemble, connected by a staircase tower tucked into its interior angle. Topped with gable roofs, each building features a visible gable end, whereas the dwelling’s extension to the south is topped with a hipped roof.

A 19th-century seaside villa, facing the ocean, on the wild and untamed coast of Le Croisic's peninsula. Along the coastal road, a picket gate, framed by two granite pillars, opens on to a breath-taking view of the villa with the ocean in the background. Behind the gravel courtyard, large enough to park several vehicles, the dwelling stands in the middle of the property, surrounded by the garden and the sea. Near the gate is an inhabitable two-storey outbuilding, while the villa itself was built over two separate periods: its western section dates back to the middle of the 19th century and includes two floors, one of which is under the eaves, while later on, around 1900, the building was flanked to the east by a slightly larger, but considerably taller, extension with three storeys, including one under the eaves. Built out of rubble stone and covered in light-colour plaster, the villa’s corners are highlighted by toothed ashlar stone quoins, while its symmetrical windows are also framed by ashlar stone and topped with chiselled granite lintels. Topped with a gently sloping hipped roof over the initial construction, which is cadenced on either side by two gable dormer windows, whose wooden structures, decorated with understated mouldings, are painted white, its newer and larger section, crowned with a steeper hipped roof, features roof finials and dormer windows with granite triangular pediments on three of its four sides. These stone dormers, larger in size, not only highlight the extension’s verticality, but give it the look of a tower as well, which emphasises its role as an architectural centrepiece within the villa’s overall composition.

In Anjou, a neo-Gothic castle and its numerous outbuildings in a 17-hectare English park. From the road, a long access path crosses a wood, then along the park of the estate, leading to, on one side, the courtyard of the outbuildings and on the other, the castle. Built in the second half of the 19th century, the building was designed by the famous Angevin architect René Hodé, who was directly inspired by his neighboring masterpiece in Challain-la-Potherie. Constructed of slate rubble and tuffeau, the whole structure rises four levels on a rectangular plan. Two towers and two corbels mark the corners of the residence. At the center of the back facade, another tower, not serving a purpose, houses a staircase. The roofs are slate, with four slopes for the main wing and a pepperpot shape for the corner towers and corbels. Vast meadows dotted with trees extend at the foot of the facades. The outbuildings are organized around a landscaped square courtyard. An old walled vegetable garden adjoins a body of water.This description has been automatically translated from French.

In Nantes, in the Saint-Félix district, an old hunting lodge from the 18th century, with its nearly 2000 m² terraced garden and outbuildings.

The garden-side facade is organized around a slightly protruding and rounded central body, topped with a rotunda crowned by a slate apse. On the ground floor, a large arched bay with small panes opens onto the garden through a double door, flanked by two other rectangular bays. On the first floor, the rotunda has three large openings, each preceded by a balcony with a wrought-iron railing. The symmetrical composition and proportions reflect the 18th century’s taste for classical balance and light. Raised by two levels under the eaves, the house includes five bedrooms and three bathrooms, with a living area of approximately 190 m². The garden, of nearly 2000 m², once integrated a much larger estate, composed of vineyards and woods extending to the banks of the Erdre.

To the west, along the street, another set includes shelters and storage spaces, as well as an independent apartment.This description has been automatically translated from French.

An Art Deco inspired 1930s house, in Nantes, in the Monselet district. In a peaceful street, the property stands behind iron railings made up of vertical struts topped by simple points and punctuated by lozenge-shaped geometrical patterns, providing a touch of decorative precision. There is a pedestrian gate as well as a larger gate providing car access to the garage. The two-storey house, also with an attic level, has neighbouring buildings on either side. It boasts a courtyard looking onto the street and an outside area to the rear with different levels: a patio, a courtyard and a lawn. The building combines solid materials and traditional elements such as granite, ironwork and period joinery with the daring Art Deco spirit. The façade is both balanced and expressive. It is an illustration of the care lavished upon residential architecture in the inter-war period, a time in which each detail, such as stone arches, finely crafted guard-rails and small-paned windows, sought to combine modern comfort with urban distinction. Clues of the interior layout are given by studying the façade. The sleeper wall made of rough-hewn blocks of granite supports a first floor with light-coloured rendering whose simplicity emphasises the geometric rigour of the windows. The ground floor, with lower ceilings and smaller windows, is reserved for cosier rooms and the house’s technical facilities. On the first floor, two wide windows with small panes on the upper part are graced with soberly and stylishly designed guard-rails including geometric patterns, which is another element typical of the 1930s. The first floor includes the reception rooms. The edifice is topped by a gabled roof made of interlocking tiles.

At the edge of the Bercé state forest and at the exit of a picturesque village with shops, the estate is set back and not overlooked, enclosed by old walls with gates or hedges. The property is organized around its castle, set on the slope of a hill, at the center of a park that mixes meadows, AOC lands, and woods. Built between 1908 and 1913 and classified MH since 1984, the residence is emblematic of the flamboyant neo-Gothic style, which was once very popular among the aristocracy and the upper bourgeoisie. With an area of approximately 275 m², it has four levels including a ground floor and an attic. The slate roofs are punctuated by numerous dormer windows. The cornices, corner chains, dormer windows, and window frames are made of tuffeau. To the east and west, stone staircases with railings lead to an entrance hall and a kitchen. The western facade is bordered by a terrace overlooking the garden. On the facades of the building, flint from the Loir valley interacts with sculpted tuffeau to recreate the aesthetic of a chivalric manor. The architecture evokes the medieval repertoire, with systematic use of the pointed arch, lancets, and stained glass, focusing on a search for light and verticality of lines. A pepperpot turret, suspended on molded corbels, flanks the residence, topped with a slate extinguishing cap. Wide stone mullioned windows punctuate the ground floor, while on the first floor, paired windows are set under their delicately sculpted pointed arches. A richly pierced stone balustrade with quatrefoils overlooks the south gable.This description has been automatically translated from French.
