luxury real estate for sale Saint-Sauveur-en-Puisaye, France (page 2)

A 16th and 17th century former mill, surrounded by 6 hectares of meadows, in the Puisaye region, 2 hours from Paris. A double entrance gate opens onto a large lawned area dotted with some ten tall trees, and a gravel parking area. The complex comprises several adjoining buildings facing the main structure, the mill. The mill faces north-south, while the outbuildings face south and west. A pedestrian entrance provides access to the premises, protected by a canopy of local tiles. The mill stands in the middle of the reach. The wheel with a diameter of around 4m abuts the building. A small wooden bridge crosses the river. There is a spring close to the mill, from which blue water gushes into the headrace. The residence overlooks a number of authentic features, including a well built of local Puisaye brick, which can still be used and is between 3 and 6 metres deep. The presence of alluvial groundwater, which is always cool, means that a water-to-water heat pump could be installed. A number of outbuildings, each topped with an old country-style roof, complete the complex: a barn, a traditional oven, an old sheepfold and a large workshop for drying wood. Finally, at the back of the house, there is a vast hangar hidden behind a hedge. A dedicated gate provides access to this hangar for the estate's farm vehicles and also links via the ford over the millstream to the meadows.

Two traditional 19th century houses and their dovecote in the heart of the Ouanne valley in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region. Surrounded by woods and cultivated plots of land, as though on an outcrop, the property overlooks the valley. In a hamlet of 65 inhabitants, 6 km from Charny-Orée-en-Puisaye, a small local road followed by a stone track leads to the main entrance which is tucked away from view. An automated metal gate opens onto a continuous stretch of lawned parklands that covers approx. 5,000 m². Set at right angles to each other, the old barn and the traditional house are surrounded by a terrace. The dovecote is slightly set back. The fully restored complex lies in the centre of the parklands. The grounds comprise on one side a few tall trees and planted hedges, and on the other side flowerbeds dotted here and there, extending the view over the wooded valley. The flowers blossom to the rhythm of the crops. A small outbuilding and a well complete the complex.

An occupied 18th century chateau surrounded by wooded grounds and a river, in the Nièvre region 2 hours from Paris. Off one of the town's many cobbled alleyways, a double wrought-iron gate serves as the main entrance, framed by a porch with half-timbered walls and beams that bear witness to the age of the property. This leads first to the courtyard of the outbuildings, followed by the main courtyard in front of the main residence. There is another entrance from the street, through a monumental wooden double carriage gate, leading to the courtyard of the main dwelling, embellished by two large white magnolias and other green plants. The chateau comprises a group of old residential buildings, including a street section linked by a wing at right angles that borders the inner courtyard of the main building. The three-storey main building displays classical, symmetrical style and is topped by a slate hip roof with œil-de-bœuf dormers and ridge finials. Its lime-rendered rubble masonry facades are enhanced by dressed stone corner quoins, stringcourses and a triangular pediment with an oeil-de-bœuf in the central section. Seven bays of large-paned windows, fitted with solid or louvered shutters, let the light flood into the residence. Once you have crossed the main courtyard dotted with box hedges and mature rose bushes, a flight of three approach steps leads up to the entrance of the building. The grounds in front of the residence are entirely enclosed by walls and planted with various tall and ornamental species of trees. A small private wooden bridge crosses the water feature and connects to a former orangery and a vegetable patch with a greenhouse. Finally, an opening in the perimeter wall provides direct access to the town.

An impressive 18th century chateau, with garden, outbuilding and 5 hectares of grounds between Puisaye and Morvan in the Nièvre region. Set on the edge of a hamlet, the property is accessed via a small road which leads across a discreet bridge over a stream to the entrance gate. Hidden behind tall trees, the main dwelling can only be made out after entering the garden. Adjacent to the entrance, there is a building containing the caretaker's accommodation, which is extended by a section used for agricultural purposes. A peaceful stream runs through the grounds. Probably owned by local dignitaries from the 15th century onwards, the property was later inhabited by one of Louis XVI's bodyguards. However, the most famous resident was a French Major General during the Revolution and the First Empire, who carried out extensive renovation work.

An elegant 18th-century village house with stone outbuildings and tree-dotted grounds in Burgundy, 1 hour and 30 minutes from Paris. The property is surrounded by undulating countryside: a patchwork of forests, hedge-lined meadows and lakes. It lies in a picturesque village. You enter the property via a double entrance gate of wood and metal. Gravelled areas offer parking space for several vehicles. When you first look ahead, you see a harmonious collection of buildings surrounded by grounds where tall trees and fragrant flowers grow. The main house is a long building. Like the guesthouse, it has a ground floor and a first floor. It is crowned with a gable roof of flat Burgundy tiles. A dormer stands out on the roof, above the entrance door. The house’s stone elevations bring out fine features of architectural articulation. These elevations are punctuated with large windows that have small panes and are fitted with shutters. Beautiful surrounds of brickwork frame these windows. The windows are of different sizes, which livens up the facade, up which a climbing plant grows. At one end of the house there is a carriage entrance door that connects directly to the main section. And at the other end, there is a carport made of brick and timber. Lastly, there is a woodstore at the back. The guesthouse stands at a right angle to the main house and has the same characteristics as the latter. The same stones were used to build it and its different windows are fitted with shutters of solid oak. A decorative well, a stone bench and metal sculptures complete the property’s outdoor embellishments. A secondary entrance to the property is hidden on the other side of the garden.
