Property with garden Seidla (Estonia)
Seidla Manor is a standout piece of architecture first mentioned way back in 1639. The surroundings are equally impressive, with a spacious park, secondary buildings, and untouched nature all around, offering a great spot to set up a private home or kick off a unique business venture. If you're up for the challenge and mission of bringing a historical manor house back to its former glory, then Seidla Manor is calling your name. Over the years, it's been the home to notable families, including the Mohrenschildt's, the Vietinghoffs, and from 1884, the Schillings. The main building of the manor, with its two stories and early classical vibe, is among the most prized examples of that era in Estonia. The facade keeps it classical, while the doors and staircases bring a bit of baroque flair, all spiced up with later additions like a veranda and balcony. Part of the manor complex is a granary with arches and a stable-coach house, but only the granary and parts of the stable's walls are still standing, along with a grand distillery building. The main house also boasts a unique ice cellar, a restored granary building, walls of a former horse stable and greenhouse, and a distillery kitchen with its chimney still intact. Back in the 19th century, the estate was all in on gardening, growing flowers and fruits for sale, and running a distillery. The park around the manor is done up in English style, featuring an ornamental garden enclosed by a tall stone wall and a pond. Seidla Manor offers endless possibilities, whether you're looking to create a luxurious residence, a historic hotel, or an exclusive venue for events. Its unique history and vibe make it an appealing investment for both business and personal use. Located just an hour's drive from Tallinn, Tartu, and Pärnu, its location is pretty much perfect. The current owner is into restoring furniture and has amassed a huge collection of antique pieces that would fit right into Seidla Manor, offering a chance to keep and enrich this rich heritage through a mutual agreement with a new owner.

Property Montréal (32)
LOCATION In the heart of the Ténarèze, in the north of the Gers department, well known for its Armagnac, the oldest eau de vie. It's also the land of the cadets of Gascony, the most famous of whom is undoubtedly d'Artagnan. Within easy reach of the cities and airports of Bordeaux and Toulouse (1 hour 45 minutes), and less than an hour from Agen and its TGV station. Everywhere you look you'll find villages full of character, some of them listed as among the most beautiful villages in France. A small path shaded by old oak trees leads to the property. Immediately on the right, past a huge hundred-year-old oak that seems to guard the grounds, the estate and its majestic tower come into view. PRESENTATION I, Chevalier Jean de Gascogne, invite you, citizens of the modern world, to follow me to the land of my ancestors. Here we are on my almost 35 hectares of land made up of vines, coppice, moorland and meadows. My ancestors decided to settle here, very close to a small ancient and medieval town that had to be defended. So, in the 15th century, they built this architectural gem! A rectangular, three-storey building made entirely of stone, wood and cob, it is a rare and perfect example of what is known as a Gascon fortified room. Some would call it a watchtower, because its dominant position allowed it to observe and protect the pretty village that was to become the first Gascon bastide. The tower is crowned with hoardings, a corbelled construction that allowed all kinds of objects or liquids to be thrown at potential attackers from above. In the early 16th century, openings were made to let in more light. Rest assured, my tower, although defensive, offers breathtaking panoramic views from several points! 360° views over the surrounding countryside! Windows onto the rolling hills of my native Gers, which so many people love to immortalise on postcards, or to be even more modern, what our young ladies and gents might call ‘Instagrammable’ landscapes. My tower certainly suffered during the Wars of Religion when Montgomery's troops passed through, as they did throughout the region. The two wells on the property and the silos filled with grain on the ground floor, in what was the guard room, enabled my ancestors to hold out during the sieges. I myself worked hard, with the help of one of my friends, to save my tower. The restoration of the roof and the corbelling in 2006 earned us a Heritage Award for its preservation. The years have gone by, and we're now in the 21st century, with its overcrowding and concrete, where space is becoming a luxury because it's almost impossible to find. On my land: space, light, blonde stones that reflect the sun like nowhere else! There's no noise or visual pollution, just the chirping of crickets, birds and the occasional frog in the little pond, offering their courtship to anyone who enjoys observing nature. THE 15TH-CENTURY TOWER The south door opens onto a room that was once the guards' quarters. The first floor, with its mullioned windows, was reserved for the nobility. A beautiful monumental fireplace where more than one boar and poulard must have roasted! On the ground floor, we can still make out the grain silo openings. A dividing wall separates this entrance from another room, which houses the staircase to the first floor. A beautiful south-facing arched double door brings a great deal of light into this space. We can also make out an old opening to the north, now closed off but easily reused. The first floor features the same layout as the ground floor, as well as a second large stone fireplace whose lintel has been restored. On the second and final level, we find the place where the town's protectors kept watch for any attackers. It's an incredible vantage point, with a breathtaking view! The framework and roof have been completely redone, under the supervision of a heritage architect, for which we won a prize awarded by the Société Arquéologique du Gers. This is also the largest level, thanks to the corbelling, which rests on the original stone corbels, as can be seen from the outside. THE EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY HOUSE Next to the tower is a single-storey house dating from the 18th century. The year of construction, 1768, is still engraved in stone above the door. This building, as the saying goes, is ‘in its original state’, which will allow the future lord of the manor to put his personal stamp on it without having to demolish an unfortunate restoration. It too has retained its fireplace and beautiful beams. But yes, I admit it, the person to whom I pass on the torch will have to love stone and history, but also major works! And at the end of all this effort: what a reward! SOME TECHNICAL NOTES The house to be restored measures 117.13 M2 including the attached garage.
