Offer description

Located 1 hour 10 minutes from Paris via the A6 motorway, this 47-hectare estate of meadows, woodlands and ponds features a 19th-century Directoire-style château. The château offers 550 sq.m of living space (excluding attics) and is accompanied by several outbuildings, including former stables, a greenhouse, a shed and a farmhouse. The ground floor of the main building has a charming, rounded entrance hall with alcoves and a floor featuring decorative stone inserts (cabochons). This area leads to a dressing room and guest WC, as well as a large reception room overlooking the main driveway and the grounds. Overlooking the grounds and pond, there is a triple reception area consisting of a grand living room (with herringbone parquet flooring, fireplace and large French doors opening onto a terrace) along with a smaller sitting room and a dining room. A corridor serves a private entrance, a concealed door leading to a double vaulted cellar and a large, fully equipped L-shaped kitchen. A lower-level hall, featuring a WC and laundry room, opens onto a spacious terrace overlooking the grounds and pond. A beautiful, discreet staircase leads to the upper floors. The first floor comprises a landing and a corridor serving 8 bedrooms and suites, each with its own ensuite bathroom and WC. The top floor has not been fitted out: it consists of 8 rooms and an attic space with excellent potential for conversion. Presenting an ideal layout and high ceilings on every floor, the property is in excellent condition. Original materials have been preserved throughout, and all the formal reception rooms feature their own fireplaces. There is also the potential to create additional bedrooms. The former stables consist of a U-shaped, two-story building with a footprint of approximately 550 sq.m. The ground floor houses the stables, a tack room, a workshop, two garages and a two-story caretaker?s dwelling. The first floor, accessible via an external staircase, features a large L-shaped room used as a dormitory, followed by a spacious loft-style single-bedroom apartment with open beams. Additional outbuildings include a greenhouse, a barn used for storage, an outdoor toilet and a barbecue area. There is also a separate farmhouse set back from the main buildings, offering approximately 150 sq.m of floor space spread across two levels; its roof has been completely restored. This farmhouse is surrounded by terraced gardens near the second pond, including a chicken coop and a woodshed (or garage). The estate presents leafy landscaped grounds featuring pathways, rose gardens, a vegetable garden, a well, a greenhouse, two ponds, a millrace, woodlands, and meadows, spanning a total area of ??nearly 48 hectares. It is a unique, peaceful and perfectly preserved setting, making this the ideal property for a family residence or guest house.
