Full Description
There are places that must be earned, and others that are passed down. Documented since the 16th century, this castle has been watching over the countryside of the Chevreuse valley for more than four centuries. Its history intersects with that of the Crown. In the 18th century, it belonged to a son of Louis XIV, then to King Louis XV himself, who attached it to one of his hunting lodges. The 19th century gave it the appearance it is known for today, and its current owners have restored all its splendor after a complete restoration. It is accessed by a large gravelled esplanade, which reveals at a glance the harmony of its façade. In the center, a brick and stone pavilion, crowned with a pediment and dominated by a square tower under a high slate roof. On either side, two light wings with Mansard roofs, pierced with dormer windows. On the park side, a balustraded terrace and its stone staircase descend to the lawns and park.
Four levels, four atmospheres. This 216 sqm triplex, nestled within a fully restored historic castle, is discovered as one ascends the floors of a family home, each landing revealing a new use. Fully renovated, this residence offers all modern comfort within a historic shell: a blank page to recreate the charm of yesteryear or cultivate a decidedly contemporary style.
You enter through a large landing entrance that immediately sets the tone. It serves the dining room, a fitted kitchen, and a spacious living room with beautiful volumes, the heart of daily life, complemented by a separate WC.
The second level is dedicated to rest. Three bedrooms each have their own bathroom, and a separate WC completes the set. At the very top, the third level forms a separate refuge: a bedroom with its bathroom, a separate WC, and a study space, to work quietly or host a guest independently.
Its windows open onto the co-owned park of the estate, nearly 3 hectares of lawns and large trees around a peaceful pond. It can be fully enjoyed, for a morning walk or an afternoon by the water, without having to maintain it alone. Five parking spaces complete this property. A rare address to live in a castle daily, in the heart of the Chevreuse valley and 45 km from Paris.
