This historic property is within walking distance to the beautiful natural beach of Es Trenc near Ses Covetes. You enter the house through a spacious entrance area with an open gallery and adjoining living/dining area and fully equipped kitchen. There are also many rooms with impressive vaulted ceilings, two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and a guest toilet on this level. In the basement is a study and a basement room that can be ideally used as a bodega. On the upper floor there is another living area with a guest toilet and a sunny roof terrace. In the beautifully landscaped garden is the 32m² pool with a pool house, two cozy conservatories (one is currently used as a fitness room), and a separate guest apartment. There is also a staff house consisting of a bedroom and living room and a separate kitchen.
Noe that the weather is turning cold and snow is imminent, I’d much rather be chillin’ by the pool of my 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom Mallorcan finca and admiring my massive cacti in the greenhouse. Also DONKEYS?! This is HEAVEN. For sale via First Mallorca for €1,980,000.

An 18th-century château near Beaune, France

Posted on Sun, 17 Nov 2024 by KiM

An 18th-century chateau near Beaune, in the peace and quiet of the Burgundy countryside, surrounded by majestic topiary trees and 15 hectares of parklands, meadows and woods. The history of the chateau dates back to the 17th century, when a fortified house with a moat and a hunting lodge were first documented. In the 18th century, the lord of the village gave it a chateau-like appearance by adding a main building topped by long-pitched hip roofs clad with flat tiles, as well as two small wings, one of which remained unfinished until the early 20th century. The garden level floor contains the dining room, fully equipped kitchen, laundry room, the larder, the toilets, a rest room, the access to the cellars and the service staircase up to the first floor, and numerous sitting and drawing rooms. The first floor houses 7 bedrooms, bathrooms and a drawing room. There is also a guest house and seven outbuildings in a row: a garage with sloping ceilings on the site of the former hunting lodge, a workshop, a barn, two stables and two sheds. Opposite the courtyard is a grape harvesting barn with a coach house. 
This is an extraordinarily beautiful château and those otherworldly yew topiaries seal the deal. For sale for €1,800,000 via Patrice Besse.

This is so pretty I could cry. I love everything about this. For sale via Poncet & Poncet for €1,590,000. 

I am trying to put some coherent words together after picking my jaw up off the floor. I have to say it…..this is the coolest home I have ever featured on the blog. This is so epic on so many levels that I don’t know where to begin. I love this so damn much. I keep picturing Rick Owens strutting around in here, maybe holding a fashion show up and down these hallways. INCREDIBLE! The Varpullan estate is located on the Dutch, Belgian and German border and is currently for sale here. (And thank you Dave for sending us this link!)
Varpullan is the name of the astonishing world of sculptor Arthur Spronken. This unique, temple-like residential complex on a plot of over 2 hectares, includes a villa/loft, studio, workshop, storage depot and company house, and is entirely his own creation – a work of art to live and work in! The name Varpullan is an ode to his wife, the Finnish artist Varpu Tikanoja. This is the life’s work of Arthur Spronken and Varpu Tikanoja. In addition to the living area, the complex also includes the workshop, the exhibition space, the storage depot and a company house. The living area is 810 m², the workshop and warehouse area is no less than 560 m² and the covered outdoor area covers another 267 m². All in all, it has a gross capacity of 5,824 m³.
