Just 1 hour from Paris and 20 minutes from Fontainebleau, a longhouse immersed in unspoiled nature.
Nestled in a peaceful village in southern Seine-et-Marne, surrounded by protected rivers, forests, and meadows, this beautiful stone farmhouse from 1880 has been entirely renovated by two minimalist architects. It combines practical family spaces with stylish design, merging modern comfort and original charm.
Ideal as a spacious weekend home for entertaining, or as a primary residence with rooms suited to working from home. Just 15 minutes from the Ter train station and 20 minutes from Fontainebleau’s international schools and INSEAD.
Behind its discreet façade, the house opens onto a sunny and private home filled with light and calm. The authentic spirit of the farmhouse is everywhere: thick stone walls, natural stone or handmade terracotta floors, exposed beams, brass door handles, two large fireplaces, a bread oven, and original wooden windows with small panes. Everything has been restored with natural materials and high-quality craftsmanship, down to the finest detail. It has performant insulation, compliant sanitation, and all-new plumbing and electrics.
The house offers over 400 m² of floor space across two levels, with six bedrooms, five bathrooms (four in Arabescato marble), a spacious 80 m² living area, a 39 m² billiards room, a vaulted wine cellar, and even a cozy dormitory-style chalet space for children or guests.
Whether you prefer woodland walks, early morning jogs through golden fields, horseback riding at nearby stables, or a round of golf on one of two great local courses, the sauna is the perfect way to relax afterwards.
A separate staircase leads to a 53 m² master suite designed as a peaceful sanctuary. The layout allows the house to be easily split into two independent units : ideal for a multigenerational setup, a home office or workshop, or guest accommodation.
The 4,420 m² garden features 30 mature trees typical of the region’s landscape, offering seasonal beauty and attracting 35 bird species. A huge cherry tree produces abundant fruit, a striking lime tree stands as the garden’s mascot, and a south-facing terrace is perfect for dining under the stars. There’S also an old well, a wooden cabin, and planning permission has been granted for a swimming pool.
