In Saintonge, a late 19th century chateau with outbuildings and park covering 30 ha, crossed by a tree-lined river. A few houses past the village church square, the large gate opens up to the setting sun, to the west of the estate. While the southern facade of the chateau can be made out in the distance, a house and its outbuildings, known as 'the farm', are immediately to the right. Follow a vast barn, formerly a stable, and some workshops and garages. The driveway to the chateau is bordered with large trees. To the left of the main building, a small dwelling is set back from the master residence. In front of the latter, a basin with a fountain stretches along an alley for about 200 m, which leads to the main entrance gate to the south. To the east of the chateau, a very old, circular moat separates the park with its large trees, some of which bear fruit, from the estate's meadows. A bridge crosses the eastern pastures up to the river that meanders through the estate from north to south.

An old watermill to be restored with a two-hectare lake, a fishery and three hectares of woods in France’s Charente department, thirty minutes from the town of Angoulême. From the secondary road through the hamlet, a tarmac lane leads east and quickly takes you to the watermill, edged with water on its north side. Beyond it, a stream flows from north to south across the property, between the house and a lake surrounded by dense woods. A small island in the middle of the lake becomes a peninsula when the water is at its lowest level in the summer. The enclosed lake can be supplied with water from the north. On the south side, a sluice gate leads to a fishery where fish can be caught by draining the lake.

An impressive 15th-17th century listed castle, cradle of a prestigious French family, set in 2 8 ha of grounds overlooking its village in the south-west of France. Perched high up, the buildings form a square open on the south side towards an esplanade supported by a 11th century wall slightly below, overlooking the village. The entrance is located in the north wing. A pedestrian entrance and a carriage gate lead through a 'châtelet' (gate-tower), which has retained its drawbridge above a village lane. The U-shaped main building, topped with a Mansart-style slate roof, stands to the west, whilst the outbuildings are spread out to the east and form a right angle to the south, the section at the end having a slate pavilion roof similar to the entrance gate-tower. As you enter the courtyard, there is another outbuilding below to the left, facing north-south, which is hidden behind a row of trees. Not far from the entrance, on the right, the round opening of an underground cistern resembles a large well.
