LARAVEL: trying to get a property from a non-object - laravel

Question

I am progressively solving (always with your help) this Eloquent query but have not managed to completely solve it. Sorry to still staying at it, but I am struggling to my best.
I have written the query in two flavors. I would like to keep the Laravel one since I am using that but it is that one the one which doesn't work:
WORKS WHEN I DO IT ON PHPMYADMIN SQL WINDOW:
select properties.id, title, city, price, postedat, propertytype,
( 3959 * acos( cos( radians(43) ) * cos( radians( lat ) ) * cos( radians( lng ) - radians(-1.5) ) + sin( radians(43) ) * sin( radians( lat ) ) ) ) AS distance
from properties
join addresses
on properties.id_address_fk = addresses.id
where city = 'Biarritz'
HAVING distance < 100
ORDER BY distance
LIMIT 0, 20;
BELOW DOESN'T WORK (I get a: trying to get property from a non-object error)
$properties = DB::table('properties')
->join('addresses', 'properties.id_address_fk', '=', 'addresses.id')
->select('properties.id', 'title', 'city', 'price', 'postedat', 'propertytype',
DB::raw('3959 * acos( cos( radians(43) ) * cos( radians( lat ) ) * cos( radians( lng ) - radians (-1.5) )+ sin( radians(43) ) * sin( radians( lat ) ) ) as distance') );
if (!empty($location)) {
$properties = $properties->where('location', '=', $location);
}
if (!empty($propertytype)) {
$properties = $properties->where('propertytype', '=', $propertytype);
}
if (!empty($bedrooms)) {
$properties = $properties->where('bedrooms', '>=', $bedrooms);
}
if (!empty($transaction)) {
$properties = $properties->where('transaction', '=', $transaction);
}
if (!empty($minprice)) {
$properties = $properties->where('price', '>=', $minprice);
}
if (!empty($maxprice)) {
$properties = $properties->where('price', '<=', $maxprice);
}
$properties->having('distance', '<', 100)
->orderBy('distance', 'desc')
->skip(0)
->take(5)
->get();
return View::make('propertyfound', compact('premium', 'properties'));
UPDATE:
Of course, the errors are when it tries to get property from a non-object
#foreach($properties as $propfound)
<div class="row premium">
<div class="col-sm-3 col-xs-3">
<a href="{{URL::route('property', array($propfound->id) )}}" class="thumbnail " >{{ HTML::image("public/css/images/houses/$propfound->houses1")}}</a>
<h5>Guide price: £ {{$propfound->price}}</h5>
<h6>Bedrooms: {{$propfound->bedrooms}}</h6>
<h6>Days on site: 4</h6>
<h6>Sqft: {{$propfound->m2}}</h6>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-9">
<h3>{{$propfound->title}}</h3>
<p>{{$propfound->description}}</p>
<p class="hidden-xs">More details, 14 photos, floorplan and brochure | Save property | Contact agent | Upgrade listing</p>
<p class="hidden-xs">Marketed by Knight Frank, Richmond. Telephone: [phone] BT 4p/min </p>
</div>
</div>

You can't simply chain ->get() to the original DB object and get results.
// Doesn't work
$object->having()->take()->get();
foreach ( $object as $value ) {
// $value is some part of the query builder/eloquent object
}
You have to assign to a new variable
// Works
$results = $object->having()->take()->get();
foreach ( $results as $value ) {
// $value is db result
}
