A 15th-century castle and listed historical monument with independent houses for restoration with an estate of more than 30 hectares, in the Perche area of the Sarthe department. The central section of the current castle dates back to the second half of the 15th century. The western façade of this T-shaped building has retained its medieval appearance, with chamfered openings, half-cross windows with moulded windowsills, arrow slits and cannon openings. In the 17th century, two lateral pavilions with towers increased the overall surface. Away from the space around the castle, surrounded by moats with an outbuilding, a large, landscaped garden enclosed by walls stretches out to the north, including a meadow with a small artificial island and a wood. Near to the castle, to the north and west, the former ornamental garden, orchard, vegetable garden, greenhouse and dog pens can be found. A large outbuilding stands alongside the course of the walls to the east. At the end of a private lane, there are ruins of brick-built farm buildings, as well as a large, circular dovecote dating from 1609. Running alongside the walls, a road leads to two authentic small houses, one of which is available for rent, while the other needs to be restored. Nearby, a village house with a garden, which is currently rented out, is also included in the sale.
This castle sounds like a compound. If you enjoy the company of your friends and family, they can all live here with you. And to note, I have stared at the dining room photo for an embarrassing amount of time. For sale via Patrice Besse for €1,815,000.

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 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.
