House in Genissac
Genissac, Arrondissement de Libourne
Set on an elevated plateau opposite the famed slopes of Saint-Émilion, with the River Dordogne lying between, this distinguished estate is centred on an elegant chteau of noble origins. Built in 1763 as the hunting lodge of the Marquis de Guinot, its classic stone architecture, symmetrical façade, and refined proportions give the property a graceful presence in its commanding position. Inside, the chteau offers a sequence of generous, light-filled rooms that retain their original charm, with period fireplaces, traditional local floor tiles, and wooden panelling. Long views stretch across the surrounding landscape. Several unused rooms—once occupied by estate workers—now invite transformation into guest suites, offices, or creative spaces. The expansive loft area also provides potential for additional accommodation or leisure facilities, subject to the necessary permissions. The chteau’s stone cellar houses the estate’s historic winery, complete with traditional concrete wine tanks—an atmospheric reminder of its viticultural heritage. Outside, mature gardens are beautifully planted, with established trees providing shade, structure, and a sense of timeless calm. Numerous stone barns and former agricultural buildings surround the chteau, offering excellent versatility for storage, workshops, or future conversion projects. The property is sold with over twenty hectares of vines situated on the plateau, currently cultivated under a yearly tenancy. This arrangement would allow the new owners to enjoy the prestige and landscape of a vineyard estate without the responsibility of daily management—or, alternatively, they could decide to revive the winery and commercialise the estate independently. Though peaceful and rural, the chteau enjoys excellent accessibility: local amenities are close by, and Bordeaux’s outskirts can be reached in around twenty minutes. A rare opportunity to acquire a historic former hunting lodge with mature grounds, substantial outbuildings, vineyard land, and exceptional views, in one of the region’s most sought-after settings.
Chalet in Tignes
Tignes, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes
In Tignes, this complex of two chalets asserts a rare and distinctive identity. Here, alpine architecture becomes the foundation for a narrative inspired by the world of aviation, blending design, technology, and a spirit of freedom. Linked by a private elevator, the chalets function as a single, seamless, and cohesive residence, designed to welcome family, friends, or guests in a structured yet convivial setting. The aeronautical theme runs throughout the property like an architectural thread, integrated with intelligence and restraint. Certain emblematic elements define the identity of the place: furniture pieces derived from aeronautics, volumes evoking the fuselage, and lines and materials inspired by aviation. These choices give the chalets a strong, instantly recognizable personality without ever becoming artificial. The open and generous living spaces are designed for sharing and entertaining. The sleeping areas, organized into independent suites and dedicated children's rooms, offer both comfort and privacy. Wellness areas, rooftop jacuzzis, and access to a shared wellness area with an indoor pool extend the experience after a day on the mountain. Large balconies and terraces offer unobstructed views of the peaks, reinforcing this feeling of height, fresh air, and freedom, perfectly in keeping with the spirit of the place. This entire development is designed for clients seeking a distinctive living space, where the architecture tells a story and every detail contributes to a unique residential experience.
