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.

A unique experience awaits you, between history and nature.

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.

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.
