Since 1910, this noble building has been owned by a family who have invested heavily in its preservation, making it accessible to the general public. Today, this family has decided to pass on the torch to a worthy successor, capable of perpetuating the grandeur inherited from its predecessors. The castle spans a floor surface area of approx. 700sqm. The ground floor has a kitchen with fireplace, terracotta floor and exposed beams, a scullery with sink, a storeroom, wc, a corridor with access to the spiral stairway in the tower, a pantry/laundry room, a guards’ room/entrance with stone fireplace; small 18th century lounge with terracotta floor, moulded ceiling, 18th century stone fireplace and 18th century wood panelling; large lounge with 18th century marble fireplace; a library, a billiards room and a dining room with stone fireplace. The first floor has 7 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a toilet, a kitchen, a linen room with washbasin and toilet. The second floor has a former library with stone fireplace; a landing room, a corridor leading to 6 bedrooms and a bathroom with toilet. Next to the castle is a large building that houses: a boiler room, various sheds, a workshop, former stables, 2 garages and another shed. There is a former mill, caretaker’s cottage, a chapel, a park, several bridges, a moat and an old garden kitchen.
This one is gorgeous inside and out. A bit on the large size but for €1,696,545 it’s a steal! For sale via Le Nail.

This castle/manor is so incredibly beautiful on the outside and has such wonderful features inside, it’s shame that once again the current homeowners haven’t done it justice whatsoever. I’ll take it off their hands 🙂 For sale for €780,000 via Kretz.

I loooooooove this château sooooo much. The exterior, especially the rear façade, is gorgeous, and the details inside are absolutely incredible. Aside from redoing the kitchen cabinets, and burning those leather sofas and pool table, I would leave everything else be. For sale via Kretz for €3,700,000.

It is very difficult to find castles that I can share on Sundays that are decorated in a way I would consider “blog-worthy”. This 8 bedroom, 6063 ft² castle is blog-worthy but not in the positive sense. The bones are fabulous but the decor is so horrible that I don’t think there is a single paint colour, piece of furniture, light fixture etc I can get behind. And it begins as soon as you drive up with that hideous blue. I started reading the description and could not stop laughing…..
Ideally nestled between Riscle and Marciac, in a small hamlet of several delightful residences, discover this sumptuous Art Deco château, accompanied by its guest house and vast outbuildings. Entirely renovated by a famous Madiran wine producer, it is the epitome of excellence: every wall is a hand-painted work of art, the floor tiles are cut on site, and the bathroom tiles are made-to-measure creations… Yet this renovation in no way detracts from the modern character and state-of-the-art equipment of the house… Listing here.

Last week I shared this art studio, that is part of the Spray Farm Estate in Victoria’s Bellarine Peninsula. Well, this is the courtyard. And I have a courtyard obsession so I’m sharing this little slice of heaven with you also. This secluded European-style courtyard was created to be sympathetic to the existing architecture and 170 years of heritage, and it is filled with soooo much charm. Designed by Watts Studio and implemented by King’s Landscaping, what an epic outdoor space this would be to fill with potted plants and hang out with friends. Photos: Simon Griffiths.
