castle for sale Fontenay-le-Vicomte, France

An vast 18th century mansion and its neo-Romanesque indoor chapel and outbuildings in the Essonne valley, 35 km south-east of Paris. The present mansion was re-built in a classical 18th century style on the foundations of an older edifice around 1850. Past the entrance gate leading directly to the main courtyard with a central circular lawn, the mansion comes into view. At the rear of the mansion, parklands planted with centuries-old trees provide the backdrop for a both pastoral and elegant scene that stretches as far as the river. This four-storey mansion spans approximately 1,200 m². Its slate roof, which is in excellent condition, is dotted with bullseye windows. The edifice extends out on either side of a central south-east facing front section. This houses the main entrance, topped by a wrought iron balcony whose motifs are reminiscent of the Sun King's monogram. The balcony can be reached via French windows framed by a sculpted pediment. The upper part of the front section rests on four columns topped with capitals. On each side of the entrance, two carved stone sphinxes stand guard over the estate. Each wing has a row of five windows per level. On the ground floor, thanks to the dual aspect rooms, they connect the front and rear of the grounds. At the four corners of the mansion, four square towers emphasise the symmetry of the design. Each tower features windows richly decorated with carved shells and floral motifs in the Renaissance style. The façades of the towers are framed by slender columns crowned with finely crafted capitals. The north-west façade, facing the grounds, echoes the composition of the main façade. Its central avant-corps stands beneath a bullseye window framed by two imposing gable dormers. All of the façades, as well as the slate roof, have been carefully restored in keeping with their original architectural style. Located to the south-west of the mansion, close to the swimming pool, stand the former stables, boasting neo-Gothic architecture. They have been completely restored and converted into residential accommodation. Nearby are the estate keeper's house and the outbuildings, which have been converted into three apartments.

An 18th-century mansion renovated as a hotel, with outbuildings, in 11-hectare wooded grounds boasting a pond, 1 hour 30 minutes from Paris. The estate comes into view at the end of one of the three avenues lined with hundred-year-old elm trees that lead to the grounds and main residence. In the inner courtyard, the property is demarcated by the historic perimeter as already indicated in 1708: 'on one side, there is a canal of running water and on the other, five to six acres or so of thickets making up the grounds of the said mansion, which is enclosed by walls, except for the part running along the length of the said canal which serves to delimit the edge of the property at this point'. The residence is made up of a main dwelling flanked by two pavilions and an annex extending forward from one of them. The façades are covered in beige rendering and enhanced by quoins as well as a number of belt courses and moulded cornices that underline each level. The main elevation boasts six vertical rows of openings. The central avant-corps features a large amount of rusticated masonry topped by a triangular pediment with a blocked bullseye window. The steep sloped slate roofs are punctuated with dormer windows. A stoop with a rounded double staircase leads up to the entrance. Lastly, visually aligned with the residence, there are modern outbuildings at the edge of the property, as well as a pond in a wooded area, all within the uninterrupted land of the estate.
