A chateau with an old farm complex nestled in a refined country estate covering six hectares, an hour and a half from Paris. The fief was established in 1589 by the Harlay de Champvallon family, who won renown in the court of King Louis XIV of France. The chateau was renovated to a considerable extent later, in the eighteenth century, when it belonged to the Saint-Simon family.
The estate covers around six hectares. It is tucked away in woods. A small river edges it. A little country road and a lane lined with lime trees leads up to the property’s gates. Once you have gone through the wrought-iron gates and crossed the balustrade bridge that straddles the moat, you reach a grassy courtyard. From this open space, you can admire the rectangular chateau flanked with two pavilions that are capped with mansard roofs. On the right, a complex of service outhouses, crowned with a roof lantern and clock, completes this collection of fine buildings.
This built heritage is surrounded by a dry moat, gardens and woods of age-old trees.
From the courtyard, a path lined with brick columns and hedges trimmed in perfectly straight lines leads to the outbuildings and, further on, to a secondary entrance gate.
