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.

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.

A historic pleasure palace from the Second Empire surrounded by a 40-hectare estate with 27 hectares of woods and an immense pond. The property, located in the southwest of the Yonne department, not far from the Morvan Regional Natural Park, spans across several different towns. Built in 1830, the property was originally a hunting lodge. The chateau is made up of a main building flanked by two pavilions at either end, facing the semi-circular courtyard. There are 10 bedrooms, a caretaker’s cottage, original stone fountain, a restored ancient glass conservatory, two orangeries (approx 48 m² and one is heated), 2 garages, a stable and an annexe dwelling.
I’m completely smitten. This is PERFECT. And the price is reasonable too @ €1,150,000, via Patrice Besse.

I needed a break for the mostly horrible castle decor and annoying watermarks so I went to a trusted source for amazing interiors within historic structures, Inigo, and spotted this absolutely gorgeous Gothic 4 bedroom home in Walmer, Kent (home of designer Sue Timney). Striking decorated gables, Gothic windows and a pointed three-arched veranda speak to its early history. Inside, its voluminous internal footprint of 3,400 sq ft is dotted with fine original features including built-in glazed cabinetry and ornamental carpentry. I love the the gothic architecture is enhanced within the interiors but with some wood and brown/earthy spaces to make it a little less “goth”. That veranda is to die for. Looooove this.

The Renaissance façade opens onto a magnificent gallery that runs the length of the building, on the ground and ground floors. It is pierced by numerous doors and windows. The building spans more than 600 sqm and contains many period features: floors, fireplaces, sinks, ceilings, openings, etc. It is currently being restored. The outbuildings: A gîte fitted and equipped with 200 m² of living space and has 4 bedrooms, 2 shower rooms and a bathroom; A very large traditional barn with a floor surface area of 250 m² with three rooms on the ground floor and two upstairs; A swimming pool room. The land: A French-style garden; An overhanging, heated, salt-treated swimming pool; A built spring; The half-moon moat runs around the rear of the château; Approximately 7 acres of land.
I’d be on board to sign on the dotted line for this for the wisteria and exterior façade alone. For sale for €1,395,000 via Cabinet Le Nail.
