A 19th-century property including a country house, farmyard buildings and an artist’s studio in a romantic garden almost 1 hour from Paris, at the gateway to Normandy, in the Oise area and at the heart of the Pays de Thellle sector. The entrance gate leads to the rear of the property. The façade of an initial building built at the end of the 19th century stands next to an old brick farmhouse. From the gate pillars, the finely crafted roof of the imposing Eiffel-inspired conservatory can be seen. The Directory era style house is coated with white rendering. As with all the buildings that make up the property, it has a gabled roof. Above the conservatory, on the gable end, a bullseye window looks out over the property. Facing the street, there are three openings with Directory era style frames in the main house and five windows in the old brickwork of the former farmhouse. There are several chimney stacks on the roof made of Beauvais tiles. Inside the property’s walls stand the country house and conservatory, in front of which the garden stretches out. To the side, a central courtyard communicates with all the former farmhouse buildings, which boast elegant awnings above the doors. The two areas are joined by a second gateway topped by an old birdbath. The upper floor of the old farmhouse building is flooded with light through shed dormer windows. Enclosing the courtyard on a third side, a former farm building used as an artist’s studio completes the complex. At a right angle, a second house opens onto the garden. In the four corners of the property there are an orchard, a vegetable garden, a soft fruit orchard and lawns planted with trees over a hundred years old. Towards the edge of the property, the garden is framed by tall trees, opening up views over the surrounding countryside.

A 19th-century wine merchant’s grand house with a riverside garden, just south of the town of Vittel in France’s Vosges department. The edifice stands in the heart of the village, at the foot of the old feudal castle’s remains. It faces traces of excavated cave spaces. Its remarkable, authentic facade with two flights of sandstone front steps edged with a wrought-iron balustrade looks down at the road. On the south side, its rear elevation is lined with a raised terrace that looks down at a garden with walls along its sides. The River Saône edges the garden lengthways. The house is extended with outbuildings crowned with tiled roofing. These include a workshop, a garage, a former secondary dwelling, a woodstore, a stable and a former bakehouse.

A renovated former silkworm farm, its wooded grounds and covered swimming pool, located in a village within the Cévennes National Park. Sheltered from view, the property, protected by a stone wall, extends over wooded grounds and is accessible via a gate, communicating with one of the village’s secondary roads, which leads to two buildings: the former silk farm and now the main dwelling, as well as an outbuilding that has been converted into a workshop. Between the two, a patio shaded by a trellis is an invitation to eat meals outside on nice days, whereas, further on and hidden behind the property’s first rows of trees, is a wooden chalet as well as a covered and heated swimming pool. In addition, at one end of the grounds, a second outbuilding was converted to accommodate visitors, while the property’s wide variety of trees and the breadth of its verdant foliage create, when strolling through the grounds, a succession of breath-taking and peaceful landscapes. Lastly, a second gate, located in the back of the property, makes it possible to park several vehicles without creating an eyesore for the dwelling’s inhabitants, whereas the property could also be further developed thanks to approximately 1,400 m² of land zoned for construction.

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.
