What is a mansion?

A maison de maître is the archetypal bourgeois house: originally, these were houses built in the 19th century and before 1914, inhabited by notables or bourgeois and meeting the requirements of the social status of a person of high rank. The stone reflects the fortune and position of its owner.

Often square or rectangular in shape, the maison de maitre contains a central living room for receptions on the ground floor, bedrooms on the first floor and a top floor for the attic. Ceilings are generally between 2.80 and 4 metres high, and the house is usually built of dressed stone.

These characteristics make them very pleasant homes to live in: light thanks to the large windows, spacious rooms and high ceilings, characterful staircases, fireplaces, mouldings, etc.

Often with a beautiful garden, or even several hectares of parkland, this type of house can include ponds, fountains, rivers and beautiful trees that are often over a hundred years old.

What is a beautiful home?

A beautiful home has no precise definition and will depend on the taste of each buyer, but most often it will be a fairly luxurious house with more than 200m² of living space in a privileged geographical location.

There are many different types of architecture, from ultra-modern architect-designed houses with large bay windows opening onto beautiful landscaped grounds to large traditional houses. 

This type of residence will often include a large plot with trees, a swimming pool, a large garage for several vehicles, etc.

Why buy a mansion or a beautiful residence?

Buying a manor house as your principal residence

More often than not, the purchase of a superb prestige home is for a principal residence. In this case, location is often the main criterion of choice for buyers, who want to be close to their place of work, their children's schools, shops and services, and so on.

Buying a manor house for your second home

Buying a beautiful home for a second home is also the dream of many homeowners. Geographical location is often the predominant criterion. The prestigious nature of the property will often be linked to the view or the proximity of places of interest (beaches and seaside, for example).

Buying a manor house to develop a tourism project

Very often, the purchase of a beautiful property is linked to the development of a tourism project. This may be the buyer's primary motivation, or it may be an opportunity offered by the property to finance its acquisition or provide additional income.

Many manor houses are ideally suited to the development of a bed and breakfast business or a charming hotel: reception room, large bedrooms with en suite shower rooms, etc.

The presence of outbuildings can also enable you to develop a holiday rental business by fitting out gîtes, or receptions for events.

A large plot of land may offer opportunities for developing a campsite or unusual accommodation. 

How much does a mansion cost?

The purchase price of a maison de maître or fine residence varies widely, starting at less than €200,000 (often requiring renovation work) and can exceed several million euros.

Geographical location is often the first criterion that can drive up the sale price of a maison de maître or fine residence: close to major conurbations or in the most popular tourist areas.

If the house has been renovated, the nature of the work and the materials used in the renovation can influence its value.

The size of the plot is also an important factor. A magnificent middle-class house surrounded by dozens of hectares of forest or olive grove can quickly fetch over a million euros.

Things to watch out for before buying a maison de maître or a beautiful residence

Manor houses are quite old and may need to be completely renovated. Be sure to read the compulsory surveys carefully. A parasite diagnosis (not compulsory) may also be useful to avoid any surprises in the framework or floors. It may also be advisable to call in an architect or project manager to give you an initial estimate of the cost of the renovation work.

The immediate environment of your future home is also an important criterion. Be aware of any nuisances that could affect the peace and quiet you're looking for: roads, businesses, neighbours, etc.

In the current climate, you should also pay attention to the heating system and the quality of the insulation. A very large house that is poorly insulated and badly heated can be very uncomfortable and represent a financial drain.

Finally, as with any property purchase, take the time to read and understand all the terms of the sales agreement.
