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.

A late 19th century Belle Époque villa with sea views and 4 000 m² of grounds, 5 minutes from the centre of Saint-Raphaël. The property is set in large, gently sloping grounds planted with trees, structured by several terraces and bordered by ancient dry stone walls. This spacious late 19th-century bourgeois residence sits at the top of the plot, where it enjoys a south-facing view over the grounds, with the seafront as a backdrop. Built on a base of exposed ashlar, the building has four storeys with rendered façades, ashlar quoins, window frames and balconies. The roof has interlocking tiles and four slopes topped with chimney stacks. The former main entrance, a large gate at the bottom of the property leads to a carport in need of renovation. The way up to the house was via a wide, curved stone staircase looking over a wooded area. A second entrance, which was originally a service entrance, is now more useful as it is close to the building.

A dwelling from the late 18th century, in need of a renovation, and its tree-filled garden, along the ramparts of a charming village surrounded by Alsatian vineyards. Set back from the street, at the end of a private no-through road, the dwelling, nestled under the foliage of a grove of multi-century trees, is located in the heart of Bergheim’s medieval urban fabric. Once past the gate, the two-storey dwelling’s main façade, looking out towards the garden and bordered to the south by 14th-century ramparts, features seven vertical rows of windows and pink Vosges sandstone window/door surrounds. Built over a basement level, it is topped with a 'beaver-tail' tile hipped roof punctuated by dormers with oval windows.

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.

In Almagro, a 16th-century Renaissance palace with an arcaded courtyard and carved coats of arms. In 1539, German bankers who financed Charles V's empire had a palace built in Almagro. The portal, sculpted by Juan de Juren, master stonemason, opens onto a Renaissance courtyard where light plays between the arches. The columns still bear the coat of arms of the family who commissioned it. One hundred and fifty square metres of stone and silence, around which the entire residence is arranged. The rooms look out onto this empty centre as one might look out onto a winter garden. The coffered ceilings have stood the test of time. Behind them, a second patio garden bears traces of the horse-drawn carriages that used to enter through here. With an attic under the roofs and a cellar in the depths, the 1,459 m² building still breathes as it did when the Crown's creditors were received there. Almagro celebrates its classical theatre every summer. The palace, meanwhile, awaits its next life: residence, hotel, cultural venue. The stones know how to wait.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
