There are places that must be earned, and others that are passed down. Attested 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 restored its full splendor after a complete restoration. It is accessed by a large gravel esplanade, which reveals at a glance the full harmony of its facade. 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 balustrade terrace and its stone staircase descend to the lawns and park.
Each evening, the sun sets in front of its terrace. The West Wing of this historic castle opens due west to nature, and it is out there that one wants to live. Fully renovated, this accommodation offers all modern comfort within a historic envelope: a blank page to recreate the charm of yesteryear or cultivate a decidedly contemporary style.
On the ground floor, a warm living room heated by a pellet stove is combined with a fitted kitchen and an independent toilet. The first floor offers a true private living space: a master bedroom with two shower rooms, a quiet office to work facing the park, and an independent toilet. On the second floor, three bedrooms, including one with a shower room, are complemented by an independent shower room and a toilet.
Its magnificent terrace opens onto a private garden of about 13,500 sqm, more than one hectare all to oneself for gardening, hosting or simply contemplating. And when the desire to stroll arises, the nearly 3-hectare co-owned park of the estate takes over, with its tall trees and peaceful pond, for walks that seem never to end.
Under the house, two very beautiful vaulted cellars recall the four centuries of history of the place, ideal for a wine cellar. Four parking spaces complete this fully restored wing, where the calm of the Chevreuse valley combines with the prestige of a historic residence, 45 km from Paris.
