luxury properties for sale France (page 120)

An elegant 19th-century manor and its walled garden with swimming pool, on nearly 1 ha of grounds on the edge of a forest, 1.5 hours outside of Paris. Once home to a farmer, with its belfry that watched over men and animals, buildings and pastures alike, the dwelling can be reached via a public road, winding its way through the countryside, before providing access to the property’s courtyard, the latter of which is surrounded by the dwelling, the enclosure wall that encircles a small garden and swimming pool, as well as a U-shaped outbuilding and a pasture, while a large garden extends in front and to the south of the dwelling and its enclosed garden.

A 17th-century manor house with a panoramic view, outbuildings, a swimming pool and helipad, in a 13-hectare estate, in the Limargue sector. The property is located in a farming hamlet that is very typical of the Limargue sector, in a dominant position on a ‘pech’, the name given locally to a hill. The manor house and its large courtyard to the north used for private parking can be found at the highest part of the estate and can be reached directly through a wrought-iron gate that opens off the country road running through the hamlet. There is another entrance via the south, via a long earthen track that winds through the fields, leading to the barn and hangars spread out through the 13-hectare estate. Opposite the splendidly looking manor house, built in 1608, restructured in 1688 and extended in 1823, there is a large building combining garage space and living space. It lines one side of the courtyard and separates the manor building from the other houses in the hamlet. The manor house and barn underwent extensive renovation work between 2002 and 2007. When work began, the manor house was in a state of near ruin and it took two full years of work to make this edifice alone habitable. The totally uninterrupted view takes in a succession of natural meadows bordered by hedges and woods. A long, 12-metres by 3-metres, salt-filtered, heated, granite swimming pool fitted with a waterfall fountain, counter-current swimming system and a security roller shutter that is fully concealed when open, has been installed to the northwest of the house. Alongside the earthen track that leads down to the vegetable garden, another barn has partially been converted into a fitness room. Further to the south, a helipad and its modern facilities have been smartly blended into the wooded countryside, away from view. On the other side of the valley, a third barn still serves its original agricultural purpose. At its southern tip, the property is enclosed by a naturally cultivated vegetable garden, an orchard and a storage hut. Not far from the vegetable garden, there is a 20-metres by 60-metres dressage area, next to which a hangar for the horses has been erected; there is also another shelter to the north, nearer to the residence. In the shade of a small wood, a natural pond into which a spring on the estate flows also stands on the property.

A medieval manor, redesigned in the 18th century, perched upon a plateau in France’s Quercy province with a sweeping view of the River Dordogne. The manor stands where lanes cross paths, upon the Gramat plateau, where it enjoys a commanding position with views of the entire Dordogne valley. Indeed, the panoramic vista stretches to the Auvergne hills and the Château de Castelnau-Bretenoux. Over time, the hamlet provided the manor with outbuildings, before its population dwindled. Today, the hamlet still includes a little farm, which is in business and produces walnuts. This farm lies beside the property. With its elegant dovecote tower, the property brings together, in a harmonious L-shaped arrangement, a main section and a series of little dwellings, once inhabited by the estate’s 40 vineyard workers and artisan coopers. So a self-sufficient life of labour was enjoyed on the site. The protective enclosure formed by the layout of buildings bears witness to the estate’s small, hard-working community of yesteryear, at once focused on its own world and open to the world around it. The hamlet was already indicated on the Cassini Map – the first detailed map of France – so we know it existed before 1789. Yet arrow slits low down in the walls and the remains of a spiral staircase suggest that a fortification stood here before, doubtless during the Hundred Years’ War. The same family inhabited the manor from 1600 to 1785, as dates engraved here and there tell us. The edifice took on its current form at the start of the 18th century, when there was a drive to make fortresses more comfortable and brighter. Later, in the early 20th century, it was modernised with electricity and upper-middle-class comfort. During the Second World War, the manor, with its hamlet, formed an important site for the French Resistance, for which it served as a prime look-out. The manor was then neglected unjustly. But it was restored at the end of the 20th century and the current owners later created the warm, welcoming atmosphere that it offers today. All around the property, there is a natural backdrop with delightful luxuriance in the summer – this lush decor is the centrepiece of the site, which enjoys absolute privacy, nestled in France’s beautiful Quercy province.

A restored 18th-century residence with outbuildings, on 11 hectares of land, like a Provence fortified village, near Agen. A limestone track branches off from a country road and leads on for approximately 150 metres, lined on one side by overhanging crags and on the other by alternating dense foliage as well as meadows below. The narrow, one-way lane splits as it reaches the buildings, with one leading to the residence, while the other curves round to rejoin the road further on. The entrance to the property is marked by a first wrought iron gate, while a second, more imposing, 18th-century one welcomes the visitor opposite the house’s enclosed courtyard. The main façade can be seen behind a small wall topped with wrought iron railings. The two-storey residence is made with ashlar and has been rendered with lime on the southern wing. The hipped roof made of Romanesque tiles is underlined by a double or even triple genoise corbel as well as rainwater gutters. The arrangement on each level of an odd number of windows is symmetrical in its positioning: the ground floor is bathed in light through wide, small-paned windows, while the first floor is dotted with half-moon windows. The window frames are underlined in ochre-coloured tones and fitted with grey painted wooden shutters, providing discrete sophistication to the building as a whole. The main section forms an L-shape with the west wing and boasts a sober and elegant façade at the end of the courtyard. On the ground floor, two windows flank the period, solid wood, 18th-century entrance door. The outbuildings can be found to the east. Over the last twenty years, the current occupants have graced the estate with abundant vegetation that has shaped its character. Following a southern French spirit, Provence cypress, olive, pittosporum and other evergreen trees seem to have belonged to the landscape since time immemorial. They combine with ponds, fountains, statues and other garden ornaments as well as stone walls. A swimming pool has been harmoniously incorporated into the garden.

A late-19th-century Alsatian brewery converted into apartments, nestled in a residential district of Colmar, opposite the city’s train station. The property lies on a corner where two roads meet. Wrought-iron railings with a vehicle gate and a pedestrian gate demarcate the plot. The vehicle gate leads into a central courtyard. On one side, this court takes you to the main entrance door leading into the former brewery. On the other side, there is an old outbuilding that has been turned into two garages and has a parking space too. The former brewery was built in 1885. Later, in 1903 and then in 1924, it was extended. It has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. The edifice is divided into seven dwellings, all of which are currently rented out. The three main elevations of the L-shaped building face east, south-east and south. They are made of rubble stone and coated with pink rendering. These elevations are organised into two or three bays each with windows set in sandstone surrounds. On all the floors, these windows are rectangular, expect for four of them on the ground floor that are broad and arched. The edifice is crowned with a two-slope roof of flat tiles. Five windows in the different gable walls and seven roof windows bring natural light into the two apartments in the roof space. A private garden dotted with trees is paired with the large apartment on the ground floor and lies between the building at the street Rue du Tir.

A stately 19th-century manor house and its courtyard-garden, 1.5 hours from Paris, in the middle of the Aube department. Completely enclosed by high stone walls, the property is accessible via a gate that opens on to a flagstone courtyard, which communicates with both the dwelling and outbuilding. As for the four-storey dwelling, located in the middle of the lot and facing southwest, it was built on the corner of two streets and features a classical style with an emphasis on elegance, while its exteriors, constructed out of pointed ashlar buhrstone, are cadenced by low-arched windows/doors surrounded by red and brown bricks, which are also used in its stringcourses and cornice, the latter two rather systematically defining each of the dwelling’s different levels. With tall windows and white frames, safeguarded by decorative wrought-iron guardrails and folding metal shutters, which contribute to the dwelling’s architectural charm, the main façade’s left bay has been designed as part of an eye-catching forepart topped with a triangular pediment, which breaks with the manor’s overall symmetry. In addition, the verdant garden is structured around an emerald green lawn, a large number of potted plants, a flagstone courtyard and a wall with thick vegetation, which helps shelter the property from view, while a one-storey outbuilding, located in the southwest part of the lot and accessible from both the main street and courtyard, is festooned with climbing vegetation and features a glazed front door, atelier-type windows, a flat slate roof, as well as a bed planted with hydrangeas. Further on, another bed planted with a variety of different flowers extends over a large part of the courtyard, alongside a number of pruned box trees.

An 18th-century country house of 600 m², with natural swimming pool, park and 19-hectare olive-growing estate, 15 minutes from Avignon TGV station. This is a bastide with a history that is not easily unveiled. Its Provence name, which means 'to preserve and respect', may well refer to a Masonic practice that existed in 18th-century lodges but has since disappeared. And it was precisely at this time that the bastide was built, probably on top of pre-existing medieval foundations. A symbol in the centre of the park's majestic wrought-iron entrance gate adds to the mystery: a hexagram, or 'Star of David', suggests that the estate may have belonged to a Jewish banker in the service of the Avignon papacy. However, there are no official records to support this hypothesis, which has become a local legend. It should be remembered that the hexagram is a decorative figure found in Christian, Hindu, Japanese and pre-Islamic Arab architectural symbolism; the six branches of the star representing the six days of work, with the seventh day, the day of rest, in the hollowed-out centre of the geometry. The residence, surrounded by around 4 hectares of wooded parklands, is situated at the south-east end of a 15-hectare olive grove, criss-crossed by chequered tracks. Some of the earth paths run alongside one of the high dykes protecting the property from the Rhone River, which provides the entire estate with a much-envied wealth of silt and a constant supply of water. The bastide, at once an aristocratic residence and a farmhouse, displays all the distinctive features of its particular architectural style. As the construction of such a complex always takes time, the square, affluent 18th-century buildings were extended at the beginning of the 19th century by two lower adjoining buildings. Not far away, a single-storey outbuilding dating from the late 19th century, used as a caretaker's lodge, ensures from a distance that the peace and quiet of the bastide, a true 'manor house' surrounded by its estate, is preserved.

A former 19th-century food-producing estate turned into a vast family home, with enclosed, wooded grounds, truffle and olive groves and a swimming pool in Uzès. A typical example of a farmhouse from the end of the 18th century, probably built under the Directoire or First Empire period, and whose owners very quickly decided that it absolutely had to be much more than just a farmhouse. Throughout the 19th century, alterations were carried out until the main buildings became a noble-looking architectural ensemble, just a few strides away from the National Stud. In the 20th century, transformations and extensions continued to make it more adapted to family life, resulting in a group of several outbuildings, all of which complemented each other intelligently. Today, the estate, which includes a truffle and olive grove, is home to a vast, aristocratic-style family home, 'La Roseraie', which has been converted into a comfortable holiday home with bedrooms and suites, and outbuildings that can all be lived in. A boxwood labyrinth, a common feature of 19th-century Provencal gardens, once greeted visitors in the south garden before being razed by a previous owner. It is now ready for a new lease of life. The farmhouse has also preserved a 'pouzarenque', a fully restored bucket wheel, a rare sight in Uzège, where these waterwheels have disappeared with the motorization of water pumps. The original entrance, which opened directly onto the grounds from the road leading to the national stud farm, was completely enclosed by dry stone walls, but has been replaced by a new gate and a slightly more northerly entrance to free up the grounds. The entrance is now a driveway lined with olive trees.

An elegant coastal hotel with an indoor swimming pool, a guesthouse and a 1,000m² tree-dotted garden in France’s Finistère department in Brittany. The name of this hotel – 'Ty Mad' – means 'good house' in Breton. The edifice has been called 'Ty Mad' ever since it was built in 1924. It has hosted travelling guests ever since then. It stands in a calm backdrop – a maze of narrow streets – near a 15th-century calvary and a 13th-century chapel. Its location is both remarkable and discreet. With its 15 bedrooms, this grand building offers a sweeping view of an unspoilt coastline from its commanding position. It stands less than 100 metres from a beach. It has four floors. Given its height, the edifice looks down at the houses that surround it, yet without blotting them out. Its elevations are made of rubble stone with pointing. They are plain and bear no distinctive ornamentation, apart from sculpted wooden ledges and wrought-iron guardrails fitted in front of the tall, evenly spaced windows. The slate roof was redesigned to integrate tall, broad dormers on the north and south roof slopes. A section with a flat zinc roof adjoins the northern elevation. It has two levels and is widely glazed along three sides of its upper half, like a conservatory. Its lower half, which leads out to the garden, houses an indoor swimming pool. This swimming pool room leads straight out to the garden through picture windows. The utility rooms have two levels and stretch to the western edge of the plot, sheltered behind stone walls.

A 20th-century villa with outbuildings, a garden, swimming pool and panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, to the west of Marseille on the Blue Coast. Perched on a promontory, the land where the old mill once stood was gradually divided up in order to make room for several villas in the 1960s. All that remains from the former mill is a tower now encircled by the building complex, which has progressively been expanded over time. With the arrival of the train, followed by various services and amenities, the traditional lifestyle of this seaside village quickly transformed into a sought-out coastal resort town, while the proximity of the famous actor Fernandel once again increased interest in this holiday destination, secluded and yet close to several dynamic business hubs. With immaculate and rather massive architecture, including multiple building structures, but with an overall traditional appearance thanks to its ochre-colour plaster-coated exteriors, arched windows surrounded by ashlar stone as well as its barrel canal rooftops bordered by genoise cornices, the villa combines the character of yesteryear with modern comfort. As for its large glass doors and picture windows, they allow the natural light to bathe its interior and provide panoramic views of the sea, while inside, noble materials and soft tones were chosen in order to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. In addition, the bedrooms, sizeable and sunny, were designed as individual sanctuaries, their bathrooms were tastefully decorated with several luxurious touches and the living areas, generous in size, are extended outdoors thanks to several sun-dappled patios, bordered by understated wrought-iron guardrails or stone balustrades, intended for convivial moments between family or friends as well as peaceful relaxation lulled by the wind in the pine trees. With a separate flat and recreational amenities, including an impressive swimming pool, which provide a sumptuous touch and augment the property’s inhabitable spaces, the latter seems as if to melt into the horizon like the bow of a ship, surrounded by an immense terracotta deck as well as a variety of outbuildings. Last, but not least, the garden, meticulously landscaped, is an invitation to stroll through its verdant pathways, while terraced areas lead to more intimate spaces, ideal for reading against the soothing soundtrack of the waves in the distance.

An 18th-century residence with outbuildings in more than 2 hectares of grounds, on the outskirts of a village in the south of the Jura area. The property is located in a peaceful setting, on the outskirts of the village. The property, was erected as a noble country residence amids the fields in the 18th century, echoing the village’s castle that stands on a rocky outcrop. A lime tree-lined drive leads to a wrought-iron gate framed by two haughty pillars from which stone walls extend. The property is laid out arouned an enclosed courtyard, in which two long stone buildings measuring approximately 35 metres each stand opposite one another. One contains the manor house plus the former stables and cowshed, while the other is made up of several outbuildings. To the east, a formal terraced garden planted with geometrically shaped yew trees stands in front of the house and leads to large meadow that stretches to the edge of the property, boasting uninterrupted views. At the entrance and stretching alongside the drive, there is a farm hangar surrounded by greenery and trees of various types; a carefully maintained meadow bordered by a stone wall stands opposite.

A splendid eighteenth-century mansion near Nantes, nestled in a beautiful landscaped garden that covers over a hectare and includes a pond and outhouses. The edifice is an emblematic example of the town’s architectural heritage. It bears witness to the rich history – and anecdotes – of this delightful area south of the majestic River Loire. The property can be considered one of the famous bijou mansions that dot the countryside around Nantes. These homes were built for the pleasure of high society during the upper middle classes’ golden age: the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The house is set back from a secondary road. It stands behind a remote-controlled metal gate that is flanked by two tall square pillars of dressed stone. The outdoor entrance area is divided into two distinct sections. An initial closed court reserved for parking includes a broad asphalt driveway, lawns, and lines of evergreen oaks and crape myrtles. A second, gravelled court is fenced off with wrought-iron railings and gates. It leads straight up to the house’s entrance door. This main courtyard faces north. It is bordered with the edifice’s principal section, which dates back to 1789 and offers 500m² of living space. Two wings extend it at right angles. They contain living spaces and areas for relaxation that cover around 600m². On the south side, trees dot a landscaped garden. Some of these trees are over a hundred years old. A path edges the eastern side of the grounds and leads to a group of outhouses. A kennel, a tunnel greenhouse, and a walled, fenced-off pond complete this marvellous 12,600m² property surrounded by walls. An adjoining plot of over six hectares could be added to it.

30 minutes from Mulhouse and Belfort, in a village in Sundgau, a traditional Alsatian farmhouse from the 18th century, rehabilitated into housing. Situated along one of the streets in the village, the property is bordered to the east by a low wall, to the north by a neighboring house, to the west by a private forest, and to the south by a stream, a tributary of the Largue. An opening in the wall allows access to the central courtyard, which leads to the entrance of the traditional half-timbered Alsatian house, and at the back of the courtyard, the former barn. Three sets of garages are located to the south and north of the property. The main living quarters are three stories high, the top being converted attic space. It has been divided into five independent units, currently rented out. The main facade, facing south, is organized into four bays. The windows, with two casements, are wooden and equipped with double glazing. The house is topped with a gabled roof and two hips at the ends of the ridge. The traditional Alsatian tiles, called Biberschwanz, are shaped like a beaver's tail. Four sloping dormers allow natural light to enter the attic. The former barn consists of ten units, all also rented out. It has four floors, two of which are attics. The gabled roof, covered with mechanical tiles, is pierced with dormers and roof windows.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A renovated farmhouse from the 16th century with a swimming pool, an orchard and outbuildings, not far from the city of Angers, in France’s Maine-et-Loire department. A wooden entrance gate, framed between two ashlar pilasters, leads into the property, a former farm complex. The property used to belong to a manor, which stands on the other side of the road. The complex was built in the 16th century. It was the home of Hercules de Moreau, a valet to the king, and later, in the 18th century, it was the home of the Guéniveau family, who passed it on to Joseph-Eugène Bonnemère. The latter was a famous author and playwright. The main edifice is built of tuffeau stone, with rubble stone for the elevations and ashlar for the window and door surrounds. A gable slate roof crowns the building. Many steel-and-glass windows punctuate the north and south sides. A porch leads to the cellars. This porch’s roof has a hipped end and is supported with four pillars with mouldings. Opposite, there is another building. It is partly converted and it houses a bread oven. Between the two buildings, there is a granary with a ground floor and first floor. A three-slope roof crowns it. Its western elevation is made of ashlar and is punctuated with three bull’s-eye windows. At the bottom of the garden lies a former stable. A walled orchard can be reached from outside. A swimming pool lies there.

The several-storey edifice is made up of two wings forming an L-shape, one of which is partly independent. This provides multiple accommodation options, over a surface of almost 600 m² of living space. The elevations are coated with light-coloured rendering, beneath a roof made of old, flat tiles. The garden surrounds the house and includes a swimming pool and pool hut. The residence has been carefully restored, retaining its character thanks to the use of old and noble materials: on each level, the flooring is made up of an alternation of weathered terracotta tiles, light-coloured stone slabs and oakwood parquet floors. The house boasts eight bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom and lavatory, while there is also the possibility to create extra bedrooms.

Ref 4840: Country house with commercial potential for sale in Haute-Marne The abbey church, situated in the heart of a rural village with a genuine local character, offers significant potential for tourism. The parents of the current owners once ran a guesthouse there, as well as a restaurant renowned throughout the region. The property is set in a particularly pleasant, undulating and wooded setting, ideal for tourism and relaxing holidays. The surrounding landscapes, comprising vast forests and country lanes, contribute greatly to the area’s charm. In the immediate vicinity of the village, just a few kilometres away, there is also a golf course and several lakes and ponds, further enhancing the region’s appeal. The building features a beautiful Renaissance façade across three storeys, with its large mullioned windows. A gun port, situated in a corner turret on the right, serves as a reminder of the dark period of the Wars of Religion and the disastrous raids by German mercenaries (1567 and 1587). The windows were added in the 18th century. The abbey church has been restored in several phases since 1974 by the parents of the current sellers. Inside, the dining rooms are adorned with monumental fireplaces from the 12th and 16th centuries that immediately transport us back to the Middle Ages. The place exudes a unique atmosphere where the earthy charm of a Rabelais would not seem out of place.
