A castello for sale in Northern Italy

Posted on Sun, 26 Mar 2023 by KiM

This castle is like a museum of history, and I find it so captivating. It is located in Piedmont, an area in Northern Italy. There was a 13th century manor but all that is left of that is a tower. The housing part was rebuilt in neo-medieval style in the nineteenth century and today looks like an elegant, stately home, with large frescoed rooms and a beautiful park located on a spur of rock overlooking the river. In the historic part there are 9 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 8 lounges with an average height of 5 meters, completely frescoed. In the renovated part there are 12 hotel rooms and a 140-seat restaurant. In total there are 21 bedrooms, 17 bathrooms totaling 53,820 sqft. A wee bit pricey at €6,500,000 but worth it for the right owner to come in here and make this spectacular. Listed with James Edition.


A medieval castle for sale in Toulouse

Posted on Sun, 19 Mar 2023 by KiM

Set in the hills with expansive countryside views, this medieval chateau in southern France is a dream! Lovingly restored and decorated, it has 12 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms and living areas set over three floors. Complete with its round tower and private pool, it is truly magical! This magnificent property also includes three separate self-contained gites lovingly renovated to a high standard. Each has an individual terrace and access to a separate shared pool. Despite the peaceful and tranquil setting, the property is just a few minutes from all necessary amenities and a large swimming lake. The city of Toulouse and its airport are less than one hour away.
What a beautiful home and a fun project to change out some of those colours to something a little more….. or a little less….. For sale via Savills.

Château de Digoine, located in in southern Burgundy, France is an absolutely breath-taking 15 bedroom home from the 1700s owned by French filmmaker Jean-Louis Remilleux. Filled with exquisite antiques, art, textiles and wallpaper, it’s every traditionalist’s dream. And it’s definitely checking all the boxes for my dream château.

Harlington Manor

Posted on Sun, 5 Mar 2023 by KiM

This exceptional Grade II*-listed, 10-bedroom manor house is nestled in the centre of the pretty village of Harlington. With origins in the late 14th century, it has been updated many times by its various owners, resulting in a beautifully renovated house with a long and rich history. Extending over 8,300 sq ft internally, the house also has numerous outbuildings encompassing 1,905 sq ft, including a garage, a stable block, a barn and two annexes, meaning it is exceptionally flexible and full of potential. The manor’s various extensions and remodels have left the house packed with rare original features, such as four-centred Tudor fireplaces, moulded beams and a Tudor foliate boss, and some early 17th-century panelling.
The amount of character and history in this home is incredible and would be a dream to own. Harlington Manor for sale via Inigo.
