Ref.4343 : Beautiful french manor house for sale in Pays de la Loire This property is located in Mayenne, in the former historic province of Anjou, on the borders of Brittany and not far from Maine. In the heart of the countryside, the immediate surroundings are pastoral and wooded. A small, historic, medieval town provides services just a few kilometres away. A leisure/camping centre with a 123– acre (50-hectare) lake offering a wide range of activities is just 15 minutes away by car. This former 16th-century manor house, strategically located on the border with Brittany, served as a collection centre for the gabelle tax. At the time, the seigneury included around ten farms and covered more than 247 acres (100 hectares). Today, it is a pleasant residence, extended by a dwelling in the 19th century. The building is built of rubble stone, covered with ochre-coloured rendering. The window surrounds are of tufa stone or brick, and the quoins are of red stone. The whole building is covered in slate. The house is built east-west. The interior of the manor house is accessed via a doorway topped with an accolade and fireplaces. The total floor surface area is approx. 540sqm and comprises 2 sections that are as much interconnected as they are independent: the manor house and the dwelling. THE MANOR HOUSE (285 sqm) : Ground floor: entrance hall (16sqm), 2 lounges (33 and 36 sqm), kitchen (23 sqm), boiler room, pantry and toilet; the whole is laid out around a magnificent wooden spiral staircase in Gothic style. 1st floor: master bedroom (35sqm) with shower and bathroom, dressing room and toilet, recreation room (26.5 sqm), bedroom (23 sqm), shower room and toilet. 2nd floor: 2 bedrooms (20 sqm each) and shower room with toilet. The interior of the manor house is typical of its era and has retained its defensive features. Thick walls with several openings, exposed beams and joists, terracotta floors and monumental fireplaces. THE DWELLING (255 sqm) : Ground floor: en suite: games room with staircase and wc, access to covered swimming pool (9x4m heated by heat pump), dining room, kitchen, small sitting room with staircase, 2 bedrooms, 2 shower rooms with wc. First floor: 4 bedrooms, 4 shower rooms with wc. This part of the house, which dates back to the 19th century, has been perfectly fitted out for entertaining. It has plenty of sleeping capacity and shower rooms in good condition. The adjoining rooms bring this part of the house to life, as they communicate perfectly with each other. It's easy to imagine the conviviality that reigns here, moving from one living room to another without having to push a door open. The property has been completely restored since it was handed down in 2 campaigns of work; first the farmhouse in the 2000s, then the manor house in 2006-2007. The two parts are independent in terms of heating, electrical system, sanitary facilities and water supply. The property as a whole offers good accommodation capacity, which can be used on a day-to-day basis as well as occasionally during the year for entertaining guests. The work that has been carried out is of a very high standard. The restoration work carried out by the current owners some twenty years ago was carried out in its entirety and with great care. The original architectural quality has been respected and even enhanced. To the south-east of the property is a slate-roofed outbuilding. It comprises two rooms of 90 and 40sqm, used as a shed and garage; close to the dwelling a building with two garage spaces; to the west of the manor house, 2 buildings, probably former pigsties, with slate roofs. The entire property is surrounded by hedges. Some of the trees that make up the park have been planted by the current owners, and the vegetation is beautiful and starting to grow. There are oaks, lime trees, chestnut trees and many fruit trees. The green setting around the property provides a pleasant area for maintenance. There is an orchard to the south of the property and a chestnut grove to the north. Well in the grounds. The total surface area is 3.47 acres (1 ha 40 a 76ca).

A 17th & 18th century manor house, outbuildings and parkland, set in almost 2 hectares of land near Azay-le-Rideau, in Touraine. At the end of the village, a lane winds through the countryside to the property entrance. A wrought-iron gate, supported by two tufa stone pillars, opens onto a driveway that crosses the parkland in front of the residence and leads on to the outbuildings. Originally a simple hunting lodge, the dwelling was probably built in the 17th century, then extended in the 18th century and later. It is in an asymmetrical shape and is oriented east-west. The main west-facing façade features tufa-framed windows with cornices under the roof and a stringcourse over a tower wing. The carved wooden entrance door on the central section is off-centre. To the east, French windows lead from a grass terrace into the house. The slate roofs are adorned with zinc finials. The central double body, with a single storey under the eaves, is topped by a small square tower and flanked to the north by a rectangular tower lodge, also two storeys’ high under the eaves, and a single-storey building to the south. The rendered stone façades, with tufa stone quoins, have various sized windows, with small or large panes and tufa stone surrounds. The slate roofs have triangular pediment dormers in the central section. The interiors still have some of the old features, such as parquet flooring and tufa stone fireplaces in the reception rooms. The six bedrooms are spread over the three floors of the house. Extensive wooded parkland surrounds the manor house, covering almost 2 hectares, with terraces, gardens and undergrowth. There are also rock cellars, a swimming pool in need of renovation and three outbuildings on the estate.

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.

A listed 17th-century house with guesthouses and a garden designed by the famous landscape architect Jacques Wirtz, 10 minutes from Normandy's Côte d'Albâtre coastline. Just outside the village, a broad wooden gate and paved drive lead to a vast space. Two guesthouses and a garage stand on one side. The main dwelling and its extension stand on the other side. The grand house is typical of noble Norman dwellings from the mid-17th century. South-facing and rectangular in shape, it has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the tall roof space. The building is crowned with a hipped slate roof with six dormers. The elevations are made of brick. Red brickwork forms the quoins, cornices and window and door surrounds. The facade has five bays. On one side, there is a 19th-century brickwork extension. It has a two-level section with a three-slope roof, followed by a single-storey wing with a roof space. This wing houses a swimming pool. The garden was designed by the famous Belgian landscape architect Jacques Wirtz in the early 2000s. Wirtz is known for his work on two Parisian gardens: the Jardin du Carrousel garden in front of the Louvre Museum and the garden of the Élysée Palace. The property’s garden extends beyond the buildings, which it links together with paved paths, some of which are shaded. This magnificent outdoor space offers striking views.

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 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.

A genuine manor house, surrounded by grounds of nearly three hectares, 2.5 hours from Paris, in the Nivernais region. A country road, lined with several traditional farms, traverses immense meadows populated with Charolaise beef cattle, before the property slowly starts to come into view: a British-inspired manor surrounded by grounds planted with ancient trees. A gravel area skirts the building and provides parking for several vehicles, while, not far off, an elongated outbuilding faces a well with its wheel. In addition, to the south, the grounds contain a swimming pool and its machine room, whereas several Medici vases mark the entrance to this impressive dwelling. Constructed entirely over a basement level, the three-storey manor’s exteriors feature a polychrome brick and stone composition, cadenced by many large-paned windows topped with stone lintels, while two balconies provide eye-catching architectural elements for its main façade: the first showcases the manor’s front door and is extended by a stone staircase, safeguarded by an ornate bannister with a scroll pattern, the motif of which is then repeated on the upper balcony’s guardrails. With brick and stone quoins and window/door surrounds, the dwelling also boasts a tower, highlighting the edifice’s verticality, which has preserved its brick quoins as well as its horizontal stringcourses indicating its different floors. As for the tower’s upper level, it is clad in regional bricks and punctuated by windows topped with small glazed fanlights, while the manor’s slate roof, hipped over the tower, but gabled everywhere else, has been completely redone and is punctuated by gable dormers with triangular pediments.

A remarkable property for events, accommodation and gastronomy in a corner of France renowned for its natural beauty and art of living, 40 minutes from Toulouse and Montauban. Tucked away among vineyards and fields, the property stands out for its balance and harmony. A long driveway lined with trimmed hedges and punctuated with stone statues leads to a neatly designed court of honour, which draws your gaze to the main house. This edifice, a grand dwelling with a ground floor and first floor, has an even design and is long and rectangular in form. Its elevations combine brickwork with pale rendering. They are punctuated with a harmonious series of windows fitted with painted shutters and spaced out in a majestic arrangement. The house is crowned with a tiled roof that completes the edifice with understated elegance. Tall trees, including slender cypresses, age-old plane trees and imposing cedars, create a protective environment around the main dwelling. Spread out around the edifice are several outhouses, including a huge reception hall set back from the grand dwelling, a brick lodge and, opposite the latter, a building that is bathed in natural light and that lends itself to a range of possibilities. A former dovecote, converted into a dwelling, is more vertical in form and, in line with it, a workshop and boiler room edge the parkland. Among this series of buildings and natural spaces, the grand house stands proudly as the property’s centrepiece – the jewel in its crown – and bears witness to a refined art of living that endures today.

An authentic 18th-century manor house with 4 hectares of grounds in a village within the Chalosse region, in the south of the Landes department, 45 minutes from the ocean. With its origins harking back to the Renaissance and refurbished many times over the centuries, the property’s current group of buildings dates from the 18th century. Lined with protected multi-century trees, a drive leads to the two-storey manor house, which includes two main buildings placed at right angles to one another. Topped with tile hipped roofs, they are cadenced by Renaissance-style small-paned casement windows and flanked by two square towers.
