An 18th century château in Finistère, France

Posted on Sun, 11 May 2025 by KiM

South Finistère – In the heart of 1 hectare of wooded grounds with pond, fountain and justice column, majestic 18th century château once belonging to an illustrious figure in Breton history. It includes : Period entrance hall, 4 towers, stone balcony, wood panelling, solid parquet flooring, marble fireplaces, several terraces surrounding the château. Panoramic views over the landscaped grounds and countryside. First floor: entrance hall, kitchen, utility room, large reception room with fireplace, 2 lounges, shower room. Upstairs: library with wood panelling, 6 bedrooms (2 of which are being restored), bathroom, attic for conversion. Cellar and hangar of approx. 100m2.
I honestly thought this was going to be an abandoned castle by the looks of the exterior. But alas it is not, and it is really charming on the inside! Maybe they could try some semi-gentle pressure washing? Regardless this is really cute and reasonably priced @ €748,000. For sale via Kretz.

In Treehaven, a 1908 Craftsman in Mount Washington Los Angeles, the design honours the home’s historic character while introducing playful touches for a young family. A key transformation included enclosing the front porch to create a flexible lounge space that flows seamlessly into the dining area.

Camp Roig 31

Posted on Thu, 8 May 2025 by KiM

Welcome to Camp Roig 31, a totally unique townhouse in the heart of Alaró on the foothills of the Tramuntana mountains, meticulously designed and renovated by Durietz Design & Development. Camp Roig 31 is a 600+ m2 townhouse with a sun-bathed 410 m2 courtyard overlooking the Alaró twin peaks and surroundings. The house, built in 1910, was originally as a halfway house for crops and meat from a large possession outside the town and has now been restored and upgraded into a modern big family residence with all the luxuries one could expect, with 5-7 bedrooms, 5 baths, wine cellar with it’s own house wine, 10x4m pool, garage and much more. The house has many antique charming details like two stone fireplaces and wooden carvings, but probably its main feature is the airy roofed terrace with arched openings to the private expansive backyard and mountain views.
What a spectacular home this is! Majorca living with the finest of details and Spanish style elegance. Once this home was put on the market I bet it sold really damn fast.
