A stately and immense 19th-century neoclassical-style dwelling, its outbuildings and 2 6-hectare grounds near Villeneuve-sur-Lot. This eye-catching property is composed of a stately manor house constructed in 1857 according to the standards in place for 19th-century manor houses. Belonging to the same family for more than six generations, from above, the dwelling, located in the middle of the property, blends in harmoniously with its surrounding tree-filled estate of 2.5 hectares, the latter of which is bordered to the north by a road and shielded from view thanks to a ring of multi-century trees. The property is accessible from a gate that opens onto a gravel drive, curving gracefully all the way to the manor's main façade where it widens to create a formal courtyard, before circumventing the building in order to provide access to the outbuildings. With an orderly exterior cadenced by delicately sculpted vertical rows of windows and ashlar stone quoins, this rectangular three-storey main building, completely symmetrical, was constructed out of local limestone, while its main façade, facing south towards the garden, is organised around a curved double staircase, which leads to a patio safeguarded by a stone balustrade. With a barrel tile hipped roof, adorned with decorative pediments and carved stone chimneys, the main dwelling faces, to the north, a group of outbuildings that includes an ancient open-air barn, independent accommodations in need of a renovation, a chicken coop and a tobacco drying shed. Classically composed and highlighting the manor's impressive architectural coherence, which has been carefully conserved over the centuries, the property's verdant grounds contain a stream and a waterfall to the east, an immense meadow encircled by a walking path and a row of trees to the south, while a well bears witness to the property's original hydraulic autonomy.

An 18th-century residence, with outbuildings, in approximately 8 hectares of land and woods, 20 minutes from Agen. The property is situated away from prying eyes as well as any hustle and bustle, in a peaceful small valley surrounded by meadows, woods and a pond. Two rows of trees carefully planted perpendicularly to the drive hide the property from the road. The well-marked tarmacked drive slopes gently down to the former farmhouse made up of the main residence and four other buildings. To the north, the house opens onto a vast patio that dominates the landscape. To the south and set slightly back, a discrete swimming pool extends the living space to the edges of the grounds, followed by the meadows and woods. Below the main house, an imposing building standing against a rocky outcrop combines the former barn and byre. Nearby, a washhouse and a small stone edifice containing a spring pay witness to rural life in the past. A short way away, an estate keeper's house protected by a small stone wall, which is probably the remains of a now disappeared construction, is hidden away from the drive. In the same part of the grounds, a large, more recently erected wooden building houses box stalls for horses as well as plenty of space for storing various equipment. Near to the property's entrance, there is a covered parking area with capacity for three vehicles. Just opposite, on the other side of the drive, a dovecote has been restored to provide accommodation for friends passing by.

The property can be reached via a large gate in the surrounding walls that opens onto a gravelled drive. This leads to a walled carport where several vehicles can be parked. The soberly designed, tree-filled garden, which surrounds the house, plays host to hornbeam trees, quince trees, wisteria and potted boxwood hedges, as well as a swimming pool, ponds, a fountain, arbours and rotundas. Gravelled paths allow strolls through the garden and the residence comes into view at the end of one of them. The façades are made of light yellow Quercy stone and are punctuated by large openings including arched windows. A stoop can be reached via two flights of stone steps boasting wrought iron balustrades. It over looks an aviary. The main façades of this rectangular, three-storey building (one of which is an attic level) face to the south and west, towards the river, ensuring that the property enjoys plenty of exposure to the sunshine. The north façade has two openings, one of which is arched while the other resembles a glass wall. A stone paved ginnel passes through the ground floor, from north to south and leads to the cellars, workshop and garden shed located below the residence.

A restored former farmhouse in the Quercy area, near Cahors, with a guests' house, barn, swimming pool and 9 hectares of grounds. Seen from above, the property seems to spread over the Causse de Gramat plateau. Its light-yellow colour, typical of the Quercy region, contrasts nicely with the green meadows and woods. At the end of a private lane, the two-storey main residence, its traditional agricultural outbuildings and a remarkable, circular dovecote pay witness to the estate's historical agricultural status. The volumes of the main house are laid out on a horizontal axis in keeping with tradition. Its walls made of local limestone are a natural match for the landscape and its authentic as well as characteristically brown tiled roof protects the rooms below. The farm buildings - a barn, workshop and bread oven - are set around the house on several sides. A little further away, a traditional building, which has now been converted into a guest's house, overlooks the swimming pool. The garden is a mixture of flat and gently sloped areas surrounding the house. A patio sheltered by climbing plants on a pergola and lawns in the shade of oak trees make up some of the different areas. In the middle of this landscape, a swimming pool provides a refreshing note. The property spreads over several hectares, enclosed by dry stone walls and hedgerows. It follows the relief of the land and boasts wide open views of the Causses plateau and surrounding valleys.

A group of buildings, including a dwelling, two small holiday cottages, barns and offices, constructed out of Quercy stone and surrounded by rolling countryside, between the Lot and Tarn-et-Garonne departments . Located on the side of a hill, the property features a little more than one hectare of land, creating a natural shoulder halfway up the slope and extending down the hillside. As for the dwelling, facing fully south and overlooking the valley, it provides unobstructed views of the Quercy hills, while, the whole complex, made up of several local limestone buildings, is gracefully arranged around a courtyard, a number of patios and meadows bordered by oaks and maples. With its simple and balanced silhouette, the dwelling is topped with a hipped roof, whereas two small holiday cottages and a group of stone outbuildings - a former stable that has now been turned into office space, as well as two open-air barns, including one with a wide covered patio, ideal for summer meals - round out this group of bucolic edifices. In addition, set back from the other buildings, a swimming pool inconspicuously hidden within the verdant vegetation not only blends in seamlessly with the rest of the garden, but is also immersed in peace and quiet. Meticulously cared for, while respecting its history, and designed as if to assimilate perfectly with Quercy's topography and dazzling light, all of its original volumes, ancient materials and views have been preserved, while the natural colour of its stones, barrel tiles and pastel shutters dialogue with the surrounding vegetation in a delicate balancing act between architecture and nature.
