Full Description
There are places that must be earned, and others that are handed down. Mentioned 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 face it is known for today, and its current owners restored all its splendor through a complete renovation. It is accessed by a vast gravel esplanade, which reveals at a glance all the harmony of its facade. In the center, a brick and stone pavilion, topped 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. Towards the park, a balustraded terrace and its stone staircase descend to the lawns and park.
The Stable of this historic castle is now an independent house of 145 sqm, where one feels at home as soon as the door is crossed. Completely renovated, this accommodation offers all modern comfort in a historic shell: a blank page to recreate the charm of yesteryear or cultivate a decidedly contemporary style.
On the ground floor, the living room gathers around the pellet stove, whose gentle heat invites long evenings. It opens onto a fitted kitchen and an independent WC. Upstairs, a landing serves three bedrooms and a bathroom, for a peaceful night space.
Its true luxury is outside: a private garden of nearly 9,000 sqm, enough to create a vegetable garden, install a play area for children or host under the trees. Beyond lies the co-owned park of the estate, with its large trees and peaceful pond on nearly 3 hectares, to fully enjoy the silence of the countryside.
A home of one's own, with the space of an estate and the prestige of a historic castle in the background, in the heart of the Chevreuse valley and 45 km from Paris.
