manors with pool for sale France (page 5)

A restored 16th-century mansion with over seven hectares of grounds, nestled in France’s River Loir valley and listed as a historical monument. A quiet country lane leads through meadows and farmland on a plateau. From this lane, a driveway lined with North American oaks leads up to the seigneurial mansion. A car park lies next to an entrance to a vast courtyard. You cross a bridge over a water-filled moat on the south side. The mansion stands straight ahead. All the buildings are arranged around the courtyard. A tree-dotted garden lies on the east side, behind a high stone wall yet within the moat’s enclosure. In the north-west corner of the moat-enclosed complex, another bridge stretches across the moat. From this spot, you can gaze out at meadows where majestic trees tower. A small wood also lies in the property’s north-west corner, beside its boundaries. Meadows evenly spread around the moat-formed island cover an area of around six hectares. The estate dates back to the 14th century, when the land was part of the nearby fiefdom of La Mothe d’Olbeau. Over the centuries, several families followed one after another on this estate that forms a self-sufficient home. The dwelling was probably built in the 15th century, then extended and redesigned between the late 16th century and the early 17th century to create, above all, its staircase tower and central pavilion. All the fireplaces inside date back to this period and were doubtless crafted by a specialist stone cutter. In the 18th century, the rear eastern pavilion with large windows, a section slightly lower in height, was added to the edifice and the south-east-facing facade was transformed to harmonise the whole mansion’s appearance. In the 16th century, a range of fortifications were made, including the surrounding wall, the moat with its bridges, a fortified tower, and more than twenty arrow slits. At the start of the 20th century, the estate covered around 150 hectares that included smallholdings and a mill.

2 hours from Paris, this charming Norman manor from the 17th century, typical for its half-timbered style, rests in its pleasantly wooded 2.4 ha park, entirely enclosed by dense hedges. Slightly extended over the centuries, with approximately 200 m² of living space for 7 rooms, it comprises on the ground floor an entrance leading to an office/workshop that can be converted into a bedroom, with direct access to the outside, a living room with fireplace, a bathroom dining room also with fireplace, a bathroom and a small kitchen that can open onto a scullery including the boiler room. The entrance with a pretty wooden staircase leads to a landing overlooking a corridor from which depend 4 bedrooms and the bathroom. The continuity of the staircase leads to the blind loft forming a vast attic. The building provides a double exposure to the main rooms, thus ensuring pleasant light. In order to reach current standards for such a manor, some rearrangements may be considered. To this is added a longhouse of approximately 240 m² of living space, a charming outbuilding that can be perfectly converted from its current state. It should be noted that the roofs of these buildings have recently been completely redone and the frames reinforced. Six other buildings, built in the style of the ensemble, dot the park, one of which includes an above-ground swimming pool. There are garden sheds, bread oven and barbecue, agricultural garage, shed, garage… The largely wooded park also gives way to a beautiful meadow. Its architecture, its environment and its location make it a property of character that can only seduce. Contact: Hugues de Jessey. Phone: +33 6 60 12 33 33

Behind the building, to the south, there are 3 hectares of fully enclosed grounds lined with a continuous linear tree and shrub hedge.

An 18th-century hunting lodge with outhouses and a 4,000m² garden in the Artois area of northern France, an hour from Lille and Le Touquet. A wrought-iron gate leads into the property. It is flanked with two cylindrical stone pillars that are roughly 2.8 metres high and have octagonal capitals. They come from a former 15th-century chapel dedicated to Saint- Peter that once stood nearby. Vegetation encircles the property, giving it absolute privacy: you cannot see it from the road. A garden extends around a hunting lodge that an aristocrat built at the end of the 18th century not far from a chateau that existed in Liencourt. No remains of this chateau can be seen today. Different families, including lawyers and doctors, have lived in this old hunting lodge over the years since then. All of them have endeavoured to preserve the dwelling’s authenticity, which stands out for its classical architecture. Tall, straight windows neatly punctuate its long facade and slate roofs crown its various sections. The outhouses stand to the right of the main building, beside a swimming pool that lies in the garden. In front of the house’s south-facing facade there is a central lawn and a path lined with topiary yews. Behind the house, age-old trees tower. They include cedars, oaks, beeches and linden trees. There are also many fruit trees here. The trees dot the lawn up to the swimming pool terrace.

A completely renovated 16th century manor house close to Valognes and its railway station on the Cotentin pensinsula. Some 12th-century castle substructures are still visible, including Gothic arches and oubliettes. They show that the site has been occupied since the Middle Ages. Altered during the Renaissance, the chateau gradually turned into a holiday residence. Mullioned windows were installed in the 16th century, and a turret and entrance porch in the early 20th century. The main building, which is accessed via two entrances on either side, is now laid out in an L-shape. At the front of the manor house, the turret joins the two building wings. A house follows on from this. To the rear, a wide gravel courtyard opens onto two parallel rows of outbuildings. There is a circular well in the centre. Beyond this, another detached building was probably the former seigneurial bakery. The whole property forms a varied, composite site which is organised in a 'U' shape. All of the roofs are in perfect condition and made out of traditional slate. In addition to the farm buildings, the grounds form the estate enclosure. It gently slopes down over more than four hectares of hedgerows, meadows and grassy pastures.

A 17th century manor house and its 25 ha estate on the banks of the Mayenne. From a small road leading along the picturesque banks of the river to Château-Gontier, a gate provides access to the stately almost 400 m long driveway of the property, bordered by a double row of tulip trees. A courtyard and two formal rectangular gardens face the manor house to the south. To the east flows the river Mayenne. To the west, the wooded hillside gently slopes down. To the north, there are a technical building and a garage, farm buildings, a stream, woodlands and ponds. The property is unoverlooked.

This elegant manor house dating back to 1670, with its elegant landscaped gardens & poolside terraces, will appeal to anyone in search of a luxurious property; steeped in history, bathed in natural light, and full of charm with elegant period features. Built to take advantage of both the rising and setting sun, this is a property with a happy and sunny disposition, marrying period charm with modern comfort. The property sits on approximately three hectares of land. Restored in 2004 (with new wiring and plumbing) this property is a comfortable home for year-round residence. With a large barn on the plot, and a separate guest or gite annexe, this property is an ideal choice for anyone seeking a large family home, or property that could be developed as a chambre d’hôte or luxury lettings. In the heart of Les Landes…a short drive from Saint Sever This fine property is located in a popular area of the Aquitaine region, in the heart of Les Landes with the gorgeous village of Saint Sever just a short drive away, the Atlantic Ocean just an hour’s drive from the property and the Pyrenees mountains 90 minutes away. For anyone who does not yet know the village of Saint Sever, it is certainly worth a trip, and after a delicious lunch on a terrace café and a stroll around the gorgeous village and church square, we were already in love with the immediate area, before beginning a tour of the property! The property is located at the end of a private alley, in a leafy and tranquil position. The approach to the property is entirely private and our first views of the property are impressive; with the main body of the manor house and its adjacent tower forming a gorgeous ensemble. This gentilhommière is situated in the middle of a plot in landscaped gardens, with neatly clipped topiary hedges; and a generous gravelled driveway to the property. To the rear there is the pool, a large covered terrace area and access to the guest annexe and barn. The main house With the ambience of a genteel home, country residence, or gentilhommière, the property is decorated in keeping with the period. There is a relaxed air of refinery and comfort to each room, with gentle colours: 18th century blues, greens, pinks, in the chalk paintwork; original parquet floors, high ceilings, original fireplaces, and staircases. The choice of furniture marries well with the choice of wall paint, so that there is a sense of having stepped back in time. Each room is blessed with tall windows offering views over the topiary gardens; over the tops of ancient trees, and (on the day of our visit) across an azure blue sky dotted with gigantic fluffy clouds on a scorching summer’s day. With original floors, wooden and terracotta and high ceilings this is the perfect property for afficionados of antique furniture, chandeliers, and large pieces of Artwork. With a grand entrance hall, the main house compromises four spacious reception rooms, the largest drawing room being of particular note, with its decorative walnut panelling. The large and spacious kitchen, with its beautiful terra-cotta floor, is the heart of the home, and a fantastic space for informal entertaining around the farmhouse table, or for family breakfasts, as well as food preparation for large groups. With a modern central island, a dining-table and a characterful red and black range with four ovens, the kitchen is also a mixture of eclectic antique pieces of furniture painted in sky blue. With doors to the gardens and direct access to the pool, this is a “family” kitchen in every sense of the word, and a lovely informal space in which to gather. The kitchen is yet another lovely light room, with windows down one side, and French doors to let in the sunshine. The main house has 7 functional bedrooms, with two extra guest bedrooms in the guest annexe and 9 WCs. The four bathrooms and three shower rooms, all offer their own style and character, and we particularly love the turquoise-green, gold claw-footed bath tub. The bathrooms are predominantly large and spacious, almost reception rooms in their own right! It is certainly possible to soak away your worries in style in this property, whilst looking out of the tall windows to the gardens. Dress for dinner, in one of the comfortable double bedrooms, and slip down the original staircase for cocktails in one of the spacious drawing rooms, to enjoy a candlelit dinner in the panelled dining room. If ever you dream of living in a sumptuous manor house à la Downton Abbey, but with better weather, this property is certainly worth exploring. The property is not without its secrets, as all old properties should be. We look forward to divulging a hidden treasure behind the walls of one section of the property, for those who come to visit this fabulous home. The guest annexe has a much older feel than the main body of the house, which is predominantly 18th Century in style. Here, we sense the much older origins of the property, with the timbered beams, painted in cheerful blues and utterly Landaise in style. The guest annexe is quirky and medieval in feel, with views to the main house and barn. The owners have requisitioned the top of the barn to makeshift home cinema area, for summer months only, where we find the family cat sleeping in the eaves. Planning permissions permitting, there is a lot of additional space in this property which one could choose to develop. More details and photos are available on our BLISS IMMOBILIER website.

A little further on, adjoining this part, a room from the 16th century has a magnificent inglenook fireplace, stone corbels on which large beams are supported. On this same wing, a cellar of about fifteen square meters has its place. The opposite wing, in addition to the annexed house, has a covered courtyard with slate roofs, a workshop, a boiler room with storage space and a second cistern integrated into the building. The u-shaped courtyard, which is very protective, is closed off to the south by a covered courtyard, which is also the main entrance to the manor. Below, to the north, the second annex house closes the courtyard. It is like a vast additional room in nature! The total living space is about 500sqm. The 7.16 acres (2.9 hectares) are divided as follows: the part close to the manor constitutes the park with various species such as oaks, cypresses, lime trees, poplars and maples...

Below, more to the North, we find a meadow with a gentle slope which then gives way to a wooded area with large trees. A swimming pool (5x12m) with chlorine completes the ensemble.
