This property is located on the border of the Indre and Cher departments, in the region of Berry, 2h30 from Paris. Built at the beginning of the 19th century, this building consists of a central body flanked by two single-storey side pavilions. Two rectangular towers frame the building and give it a more substantial appearance. It has 7 bedrooms and the following outbuildings: a guest house, a greenhouse, a building facilitating the management of the property with a wood/mechanical workshop and storage with attic, a shed housing 4 boxes with tack room, a henhouse and a garage for a tractor, two shed – one housing a garage and workshop, the other used for storage.
The grounds are soooo pretty and really beautiful architectural details inside (that I wish there were more photos of). For sale for €1,250,000 via Cabinet Le Nail.

A little Baroque palace in the town of Galatone, a short distance from the bigger town of Lecce. The town, featuring styles from the Renaissance to the Baroque periods, offers a circuit of its churches and its courtyard villas. The building is constructed from the superb, local Lecce stone. Its decors are still perfectly intact. With coffered and painted ceilings, mosaic floors, windows featuring trilobal tracery as well as stately balustrades and balconies, the list describing its interior and exterior decors would be long. Its current owners have taken great pains to enhance this wonderful property.
This is straight out of my dreams. I wish there were more photos. For sale via Patrice Besse for €900,000.

A Gascon chateau, a commandery of the Knights Templar and their many outbuildings around an enclosed garden, in the centre of a charming and historic village, at the gates of the Gers department, one hour from Toulouse. Built on a rocky outcrop and enclosed by fortified walls, the detached complex of buildings overlooks the village’s few neighbouring houses and enjoys a 360° view of the surrounding rolling countryside. The adjacent buildings that compose the architectural complex surround a grassy courtyard as well as the former chapel of the “Knights’ Manor”, which became a church in the 15th century. Consequently, the chateau that houses the current 330-m² dwelling distinguishes itself from the rest of the property thanks to its towers that cadence its exterior walls clad in stone and small bricks. The horseshoe-shaped building presents traces of its former functions as a fortified chateau as demonstrated by the arrow slits, loopholes and scars resulting from the multiples modifications to its exterior over the centuries. Nestled next to one another, the outbuildings – former barns, stables, wine storehouse and other storerooms – are arranged between the two main buildings in such a way as to create a single edifice, which acts as the village’s epicentre. It was only recently that a tree-filled landscaped piece of land below the village was annexed to the property. Today, sheltered from view, it includes a swimming pool and pool house in need of a bit of refreshing.
This is hands down one of my favourite châteaux I have ever featured. The professional-grade photos sure do help win me over and is a refreshing change from the typical brutal photography of the listings I come across. This château is basically a complex. You can purchase this with a bunch of friends and family and escape the chaos of everyday life. It is absolutely stunning. For sale via Patrice Besse for €1,190,000.
