CHATEAU BUILT FROM THE 15TH TO THE 20TH CENTURY, 120 KM FROM PARIS IN THE PERCHE REGION - Exceptional charm and character - 5 main buildings - 18 bedrooms - 2,500 m² built area - Southern Perche - 8 km from the A10 motorway exit - 20 hectares - Structural shell in good condition, interior fully requiring restoration. Fully listed Historic Monument. On the edge of a small village in the Perche region, 120 km from Paris and 8 km from the motorway, this chateau of exceptional charm consists of 5 main buildings dating from the 15th to the 20th century, on the site of a former chateau burned during the Hundred Years' War. There are two entrances. The first, on the village side, is through a tall and long wrought-iron gate leading to the former gatehouse residence, now converted into a grand salon. The second entrance, on the park side, passes through a tall crenellated gateway dominated by the imposing “water chateau” tower. The impressive richly decorated medieval gatehouse quickly appears after crossing the bridge spanning the canal, followed by the other courtyard buildings. The heterogeneity of this ensemble reflects the long history of the estate. The original square medieval chateau surrounded by moats was burned in the first half of the 15th century by the Earl of Salisbury, commander-in-chief of the English troops, while on his way to lay siege to Orléans. Rebuilt at the end of the 15th and beginning of the 16th century, the remaining parts of this medieval chateau are the gatehouse known as “Le Donjon” and the Saint-François Tower. This medieval chateau was incorporated in the 19th century into the ensemble formed by the other buildings through the destruction of one of its sides and the filling in of part of the moats connecting it to the “new” chateau. The main body of the current chateau is composed of 16th-, 17th-, and 18th-century buildings. A first pavilion forming a gatehouse residence attached to a gallery was built at the end of the 16th century and remodeled in the second half of the 17th century with the addition of two small pavilions. This ensemble was raised by one additional floor in the 18th century. The enclosure of the gatehouse residence to create a grand office gave it its final appearance. These buildings, together with the Louis XVI pavilion and the other outbuildings, form a U-shaped courtyard overlooking a splendid 20-hectare park, notably featuring a large 200-meter-long terrace overlooking a vast meadow on one side and separated from a woodland of beautiful mature deciduous trees on the other side by a canal. The park also includes sumptuous boxwood embroidery gardens and yew topiaries, as well as a grand avenue and a one-hectare vegetable garden. 5 main buildings: 1 - The “chateau” closest to the village square, known as “Le Pavillon du Bourg”, 16th, 17th, and 18th century. 2 - The gatehouse known as “Le Donjon”, 15th, 18th, and 20th century. A 15th-century gallery, and a residential section built in 1980 connected to an 18th-century tower. 3 - The Saint-François Tower, 15th century. 4 - The Louis XVI pavilion known as the “Renaissance House” and its tower known as “La Cloche”, 16th century, modified in the 17th and 18th centuries. 5 - The outbuildings, 16th–19th–20th century.

Mains water supply, drainage partly connected to mains sewer and partly using septic tanks. Historic Monument protection: The chateau, its outbuildings, and its park: fully listed by decree dated 24 November 1948. Price: 2,756,000 Euros agency fees included (including 5.67% agency fees payable by the buyer). Including fees of 6% TTC to be paid by of the purchaser. Price excluding fees 2 600 000 €.

In the heart of the Pays de Bray, where the hills are adorned with meadows and hedgerows, a discreet path leads to an avenue lined with centuries-old trees. Little by little, the outside world fades away. No more neighbors, no more overlooking neighbors, only birdsong, the wind rustling through the branches, and the feeling of entering a secret, entirely unspoiled domain.

A carriage ride from Paris, the Château de la Fontaine, an eternal fable. Just 35 kilometers from Paris, where the capital gradually yields to foliage and silence, the Château de la Fontaine in Auffargis emerges as a timeless interlude. Built for himself by the Parisian architect Jean-François Yvert between 1871 and 1875, the estate spans just over 1050 square meters. It stands at the heart of the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse Regional Natural Park, embraced by the Rambouillet Forest, and overlooks the Abbey of Vaux-de-Cernay, a Cistercian jewel nestled in the valley. Architecturally, it echoes the Louis XIII style and the traditional brick and stone châteaux of the Île-de-France. Here, the stone does more than recount history; it whispers it, like the wind stirring through the asphodel leaves. This château is poetry, and more than that, a fable worthy of La Fontaine, where every façade and every perspective invites contemplation and reverie. Its theatrical elegance, expressed through carved woodwork, intimate proportions, and a meticulous attention to detail characteristic of the grand residences of its century, makes this jewel a true family home. A caretakers house and an outbuilding complete the ensemble. Surrounding it are 30 hectares of landscaped gardens and preserved nature, a verdant setting where the seasons unfold like a ballerina crossing the stage in an ethereal movement. Pathways trace meditative walks, clearings create moments of openness, and the entire estate seems suspended between dream and reality. An exceptional renovation, carried out with uncompromising standards, has reinterpreted the château for contemporary living without ever altering its soul. Modern comfort blends in discreetly: a wine cellar, spacious garage, heated indoor swimming pool, gym, billiard room with English bar, orangery, elevator Each a contemporary note inscribed within a perfectly orchestrated heritage composition. Five bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms are currently fitted, with the possibility of creating four additional bedrooms in the outbuilding. This property is an emotion, a rare address where the art of living converses with history, and where luxury expresses itself through grandeur in simplicity. Modest in scale yet radiant in spirit, this château carries within it the nobility of great houses. It invites its future custodian to continue an ancient legend patiently etched in stone, and to engrave their own, framed by the enduring word : family.
