13th Century Historic Estate – Vexin

Located in Monneville, in the heart of the Vexin, approximately 55 km from Paris, 19 km from Pontoise and 16 km from Gisors, the Domaine du Breuil is a rare historic estate, entirely enclosed by stone walls, with origins dating back to 1232.
Formerly a seigneurial estate of Templar origin, closely linked to the feudal history of the Vexin, the property was rebuilt from the 16th century onwards. Its history is notably reflected in the Saint-Nicolas Chapel, built in the early 17th century by the de Mornay family, the former lords of the estate. A rare example of rural Baroque architecture in the region, the chapel lends the property a distinctive historical and architectural character.
Extending over approximately 445 sq m, the main house is in very good condition and offers generous proportions within an authentic setting. It comprises a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, five bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as a playroom, a laundry room and two storage rooms. The layout lends itself equally well to comfortable family living and entertaining.
An independent apartment of approximately 71 sq m completes the residential accommodation, providing a self-contained space for family members or guests.
The estate also stands out for the scale and variety of its outbuildings, which bear witness to its history and offer considerable potential for restoration and conversion.
The Saint-Nicolas Chapel, measuring approximately 135 sq m, is one of the property’s most remarkable features. Its single nave, three-sided apse, columned entrance portal and architectural details reflect its rich history and give the estate a distinctive heritage character.
A substantial barn of approximately 438 sq m and an additional outbuilding of 267 sq m complete the property. Their generous volumes offer scope for a variety of projects, subject to the necessary planning permissions and any applicable heritage and urban planning restrictions.
A garage of approximately 57 sq m provides additional parking and storage space.
With the exception of the main house, the other buildings require renovation. Their variety, scale and historic character nevertheless offer significant potential for an owner wishing to develop a project that respects the estate’s architectural heritage.
Set within approximately 15,575 sq m of grounds, the estate enjoys a peaceful, green setting, sheltered from view by its surrounding walls. The grounds offer attractive landscaped perspectives and scope for further enhancements, while preserving the historic character of the property.
The grounds are suitable for a swimming pool, with the possibility of a pool covering a maximum ground area of 40 sq m, subject to the required permissions. A pond located outside the estate walls further enhances the surrounding landscape.
With its rich history, distinctive architecture, private chapel and extensive outbuildings, the Domaine du Breuil represents a rare opportunity to acquire a property of considerable heritage interest. It will appeal to those seeking an estate of character, combining a spacious main residence, independent accommodation and several historic buildings offering potential for restoration.
Its location in the French Vexin, within easy reach of Pontoise and Paris, makes it particularly well suited to a residential or heritage-led project, in a setting that combines history, privacy and the natural beauty of the surrounding countryside.
