In Burgundy, in the land of Colette, 2 hours from Paris, a Belle Époque seaside villa on just over 1 hectare. Along the marked paths, hedgerows appear, an open landscape animated by many paths lined with shrubs, ponds, forests, and small hills. A varied and hilly countryside, where small peaceful roads wind through. A double wrought iron gate marks the entrance to the park, from where direct access from the road leads to a curved driveway that unfolds in a loop in front of the house, placed in the center, then extends towards the outbuilding at the back; a second independent access serves a parking area that can accommodate up to ten cars. The forest borders the property. An old well remains, which could be reused. The villa is said to have been built during the Roaring Twenties at the initiative of a wealthy Mexican for a woman close to him. Local tradition reports that he arrived by chance at the station of Saint-Sauveur-en-Puisaye before acquiring the land. The main entrance is distinguished by its ancient columns supporting a niche, a pear-balance balustrade, and a door topped by a segmented glass semicircular transom. Oriented to the southwest, built on a basement and raised to three levels, the building adopts an asymmetrical composition. Its main volume, coated in a light shade, is topped with a two-sided slate roof, punctuated by dormer windows. A square tower, slightly out of alignment, sits at one corner and features a covered belvedere. The facade is rhythmized by large arched windows on the ground floor, extended by a continuous balcony on the upper level, protected by an elaborately wrought metal railing. On the first floor, two paired windows open onto small projecting balconies.

The two guest houses, situated at the entrance to the estate, one with a small private courtyard and the other with a garden area, are the same style, with stone dressings and canal tile roofs.

Opposite the imposing 12th-century church of Saint-Martin, a wrought-iron gateway adorned with fine lance-point balusters and flanked by a Caen stone pillar topped by a gendarme opens onto a tree-lined driveway. A courtyard and terrace surround the manor house, which has an adjoining outbuilding on one side. On the opposite side, a gate leads to the back of the property and the garden planted with hundred-year old trees.

A 17th-century charterhouse, its converted outbuildings and small hamlet of dwellings, to be restored, to the north of Périgueux, within the greater Dordogne region. Nestled within verdant countryside, the immense property, with approximately 1.7 entirely enclosed hectares, is surrounded by meadows and woods, which envelop the property within luxuriant vegetation. Accessible via a semi-circular gate, flanked on either side by fencing and supported by four stone pilasters, which opens on to a lane lined with catalpas, multi-century oaks and plane trees, the U-shaped charterhouse is located in the middle of meticulously maintained landscaped grounds planted with a wide variety of trees and shrubs. As for the estate, it also includes several annexe buildings, grouped together like a small hamlet, while the local stone walls, in a palette of white, yellow and pink, help structure the whole by sectioning off the various spaces, buttressing the large patio, demarcating the different entrances and encircling the ponds.

A 17th and 18th century stately manor farm in 10 hectares of meadows, at the border between the former Duchy of Bar and France. The estate stands near to a small country road with very little traffic. It is made up of a large complex built around a square courtyard. At the rear of this, there is a monumental barn, a stable, a dovecote with an aviary and a separate 19th century pavilion. The property boasts fruit trees, a vegetable garden, a greenhouse, a cold room, three small ponds that are home to fish and crayfish, as well as open meadows through which a small trout-rich river meanders. This remarkable site was once governed by a Cistercian abbey. At that time, written records already mentioned the presence of a villa and a double millstone mill erected between two ponds. Traces of the foundations still remain. In the 17th century, hemp was grown here. The abundance of water on site made it possible to transform it on the estate. The vines planted here produced a Pinot varietal wine infamous for its inconsistency and mediocre quality. At the start of the 18th century, it belonged to a local lord and the estate was designated a stately manor farm of the high and medium nobility.

A Belle Epoque villa, with grounds, a swimming pool, outbuildings and a view of the village perched on the hill, at the foot of a royal fortified town in the Lot-et-Garonne area. From the country road and just a few minutes from all essential amenities, a private, 300-metre-long drive forms a lengthy spiral around the property from the north, lined by woods and tall trees, up to the property’s gate, from where the eastern façade of the elegant, late-19th century residence looms into view between the trees and shrubs in the garden. After the entrance gate, the gravelled drive widens before the stoop, allowing visitors to disembark from their vehicles, before continuing to the garages several metres further on. The approximately 350-m² villa stands out thanks to its balanced proportions and immaculate architecture, that of a bourgeois residence, in which the façades are punctuated by regular rows of windows and discrete decorative elements, revealing a carefully thought-out construction. It is made up of a vast kitchen, a lounge, a dining room, six bedrooms and four shower rooms, as well as several service rooms. It pays witness to Belle Epoque period architecture, with its brick and stone, light-coloured rendered walls, inspired by spa town edifices. The large and perfectly aligned windows are fitted with wooden, louvred shutters painted in a warm brown hue that combines well with the decorative details in brick. The gable end is dotted with decorative oculi while the gabled roof is topped by finely crafted ridge cap, giving the building a silhouette that stands out in the Lot-et-Garonne landscape, in the midst of 2.5-hectare grounds boasting tall cedars, oak and ash trees as well as flowering shrubs, in an orderly and harmonious whole. To the south of the house, the stone and wooden outbuildings are made up of a garage, a barn and stables with a riding area. To the west, there is a large patio at the end of which stands a period ornamental balustrade, followed by the swimming pool and view up to the royal fortified village.

A renovated 15th-century Breton manor with vast grounds and a medieval garden, nestled between Lamballe and Dinan in northern Brittany. The property is tucked away in a hamlet not far from its local town. Country lanes that snake through woods and meadows lead up to the property. The manor comes into view beyond a bend in the road. The edifice towers above its natural surroundings. The estate covers around two hectares. A shrub-lined drive leads into it. This drive takes you to a court. The manor and two outhouses stand around this court: one outhouse is a former dwelling and the other is a former barn. The manor was mentioned as early as in the 15th century. It was redesigned in the 17th century. Over a period of several years, the edifice was renovated by its occupants, who were driven by their passion for built heritage and history and by a concern for authenticity, quality and sustainability. They aimed to turn the edifice into a comfortable, inviting family home. The loft is insulated with cellulose fibre. The rest of the interior is insulated with hemp and earth for thermal regulation.

A manor house awaiting renovation with outbuildings, a swimming pool, a lake and almost seven hectares of tree-dotted grounds, nestled in France’s Vexin regional nature park, just north of Paris. The edifice stands on grounds that cover almost seven hectares. You reach the property via a lane lined with woods and partly edged with the property’s outer wall of exposed stonework. A gate leads onto a long, paved driveway, framed between lawns and box shrubs. A caretaker’s house and a garage stand beside this driveway. Straight ahead, there is the manor house, which was built in the 17th century. It gradually comes into view. The edifice has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. It stone facade is coated with pale rendering. Its roof of small, flat tiles was fully renovated a few years ago. On the other side of the building, beyond a terrace next to it, there is a vast area of parkland with a large swimming pool, another outhouse, a tennis court to be renovated, an orchard and a wood that surrounds a lake.
