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 large, luxurious home, its outbuildings and almost 5 ha between the Manche and Calvados departments in the Bessin region. The road gives direct access to the entrance courtyard. The 17th century house is directly in front. A large, Napoleon-style stable stands at right angles. Both buildings are surrounded by vast areas, laid to lawn, followed by meadows. The other outbuildings are set out behind the stables.

A sixteenth-century country house with outbuildings, to be restored in grounds covering one and a half hectares, near Morlaix in northern Brittany. The old country house is set back from a small road that links several houses together in the middle of countryside of fields and meadows. A gate leads into a court. In the middle of this court stands the old country house: an imposing L-shaped building with two floors. On one side, the first outbuildings extend to create a U-shape and form a small courtyard, in the centre of which lies a square-shaped well. Beside the dwelling, an outbuilding used as a barn stands at a right angle to the house. The different annexes bear witness to a rural past.

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.

In Limoges, in 12 hectares of parkland, meadows and a pond, an imposing listed Renaissance manor. From the gate, a driveway lined with oak trees leads to the manor, firstly to the main building featuring two large French windows and a rib vaulted porch. At the rear, it provides access to a courtyard enclosed by two imposing buildings set at right angles to each other and to a chapel. The complex is built on a raised platform supported by a stone wall. The courtyard opens onto grasslands sloping down to the pond.

A 16th century manor house and its outbuildings on almost 10 hectares, immersed in vineyards between the Vienne River and woodlands near Chinon. The property is accessed via a driveway off the main street of the village, just a stone's throw from the shops and services. Once through the listed entrance gate, an unpaved track crosses a copse and provides vehicle access to the manor house and the outbuildings. The outbuildings follow one after another in a row, facing the parklands. The grounds extend beyond the buildings, over almost 10 ha in a single lot, at the edge of the village, and stretch out towards the Chinon forest. On one of the plots, grapevines are planted in typically Chinon tradition. Horses are also to be found on the site, which counts two stables and paddocks with drinking troughs.

A sixteenth-century mansion, remodelled in the nineteenth century, waiting to be restored in grounds that cover two hectares beside the River Erdre. A track leads up to the mansion from a small local road. It goes past a line of former service outhouses that used to belong to the property. A gate fitted in a round-arch stone passage forms an impressive entrance that takes you into a vast front court with a lawn in the middle. On one side stands the mansion. On the other side stands a warden’s lodge and a long building of annexes that includes a garage and storerooms. The gently sloping grounds cover about two hectares and extend around the mansion and behind it, dotted with trees that are over a hundred years old. These grounds lead down to the River Erdre where they offer private access to the water via a stone quay. The property cannot be seen from the river.

A listed, 15th &17th century house, with an outbuilding and a garden, in the undulating, wooded countryside of the Anjou region. This house stands on the edge of a little country lane, going through the forest, and in a hamlet composed of several houses, including another historic manor house. A small planted garden enhances the house facade. A rear courtyard, also planted, is bordered on one of its sides by an outbuilding and a low wall. Further away, reached by steps, a garden and the forest, part of which could be purchased.

South of Rennes, in a five hectare estate, a 15th and 19th century manor house with outbuildings and gardens. At a certain distance from the centre of the town, but not totally isolated, the property extends over almost five hectares of open countryside, with a variety of natural and agricultural landscapes. The entrance to the property from a small road is marked by a gate opening onto a gravel courtyard, surrounded by a wall, the manor house and a small tower. Beyond, on the south and west sides, some outbuildings are used as sheds. Outdoors, the property consists mainly of gardens, wooded areas or undergrowth, a pond and streams, and a meadow to the south.

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.
