One hour and a quarter from Paris, in a peaceful commune of Eure, a beautiful gate opens onto an honor courtyard beyond which reveals this neoclassical silhouette castle with balanced proportions: minimalist facade, wrought iron balconies, balustrade roof terrace. It was formerly part of the Anet castle estate, owned by the Dukes of Orléans until 1830, before Frédéric Passy, one of the first Nobel Peace Prize laureates, made it his home in 1901. It was then called the Red Castle, in reference to the brick that clothed it. The 1929 fire made it reborn in 1933 in the form of an 18th-century folly inspired by the Petit Trianon, typical of the elegant pleasure homes built to entertain and retreat to the countryside. The porch, guarded by two stone sphinxes, opens onto a marble-floored hall in black and white checkerboard and its wooden staircase. On either side, receptions follow in a row: a large living room with gilded paneling, marble fireplace, and Corinthian pilasters, a dining room with multicolored marble, a music room with marble walls, and a small library-living room. The rooms on this level connect seamlessly and open through wide arched French doors onto the terrace. Herringbone parquet, moldings, gilding, ironwork, and crystal chandeliers mark out a carefully preserved original decor. A kitchen and a dressing room complete this level, which extends directly onto the terrace and garden. On the upper floor, five bright bedrooms with fine woodwork and great quietness open onto the park and trees, several with balcony, under high ceilings. They have four bathrooms and preserve lovely details, including a remarkable mosaic rosette. The basement houses a bedroom with its bathroom, a service kitchen, a spa area with sauna and hammam, cellars, and a technical room. Some rooms remain to be fitted out according to needs. Outside, the terrace overlooks a formal garden that retains its entire geometry: flower beds, trimmed yews, octagonal basin in the center, statues, gravel pathways, and perspectives open onto magnificent trees. The Eure borders the property on both sides and invites walks through more than one and a half hectares of wooded and preserved park, away from prying eyes. A 90 sqm. caretaker's house with three bedrooms, a cold storage room, and garages complete the ensemble. The volumes, the light, and the richness of the original decor are present. Few properties combine the authenticity of a historic castle and the pleasure of a riverside park to this extent. Refreshing is needed to turn it into a large family home or a reception residence less than an hour from Paris. Anet and its shops are a few minutes away, major roads are nearby. A rare property full of character, we invite you to discover it on site.

Set along the axis of a majestic and spectacular 18th-century entrance gate from the school of Jean Lamour, who also created the gates of Place Stanislas in Nancy, the château stands at the end of a magnificent 200-metre-long avenue. It is framed by two perfectly restored classical entrance pavilions, opening onto the gatehouse, and faces two lavishly appointed stable buildings. The château sits within a park of century-old trees, structured around a moat, landscaped terraces, sweeping vistas and a reflecting pool. The grounds have recently been redesigned and replanted with mature, high-quality specimens. Restored since 2021 to the highest standards, using the finest materials and skilled craftsmen, by a passionate art and culture enthusiast, this estate has benefited from €6 million in restoration works.

The château itself remains to be restored, as does the hydroelectric power station. The château features exceptionally elegant, symmetrical 17th-century classical architecture.

The through-layout of the rooms can be appreciated through the transparency of this particularly airy and elegant architectural design. Inside, beyond the grand entrance perron, the double-aspect entrance hall, flooded with natural light and connecting the two grand entrance steps, reveals a magnificent and highly impressive 17th-century staircase, worthy of the finest examples of French architecture of the period. The carved stone balustrade features interlacing motifs, oak leaves and laurel leaves, symbols of power and military glory, as well as medallions beneath marquess crowns bearing the initials of the Picot de Moras de Dampierre family, who owned the estate until 2021.

Designed to stand the test of time, the property also benefits from its own infrastructure, including a private borehole and water tower, providing a valuable degree of self-sufficiency. Beyond its exceptional features, this estate is defined above all by what it inspires: a family residence to be cherished and passed down through generations, a secluded retreat surrounded by unspoiled nature, or a distinguished heritage project shaped by the singularity of the setting. Located just minutes from Pézenas, one of the Languedoc's most beautiful historic towns, this extraordinary property offers a rare combination of history, nature and elegance, in an environment whose beauty lies as much in what it reveals as in what it preserves.

Secluded and encircled by two branches of the Bresle River, the Penthièvre Estate spans a private island of nearly 8 hectares, situated where Normandy meets the Bay of Somme. The property comprises a 17th-century residence, a thousand-year-old mill, renovated outbuildings, and a park bordered by the river’s lively, fish-rich waters. Hidden from the road, the estate is accessed via a bridge crossing the Bresle. Built in 1636 during the reign of Louis XIII, the main residence is associated with Anne-Marie-Louise d'Orléans—known as "La Grande Mademoiselle"—granddaughter of Henry IV and cousin of Louis XIV. With its brick-and-stone facades, twin turrets and watchtowers, tall mullioned windows, and steeply pitched slate roof, the residence has retained all the charm of its 17th-century architecture. On the ground floor, a central hall leads to a dining room, a living room, a study located in the square tower, and a summer kitchen. A wooden staircase leads to the first floor, which features two large bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, plus a tower room that could serve as an additional bedroom, boudoir, or dressing room. The second floor offers approximately 100 m² of convertible space, suitable for creating three or four additional bedrooms. The residence has undergone significant recent renovations. The roof was completely replaced in 2023, while the double-glazed wooden windows date from 2018. Heating is provided by a mains-gas condensing boiler, and the estate is connected to the municipal mains drainage system. A network rack and home automation equipment complete the technical installations. The former outbuildings, renovated between 2018 and 2020 using eco-friendly materials, serve as a second residence. The ground floor features a dining room, a living room with a wood-burning stove, a spacious kitchen, and a bedroom with an en-suite shower room. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, each with its own shower room. The mill, with origins dating back to the 12th century, is situated on the Bresle River. Featuring corner turrets that echo the style of the main house, it retains its original waterwheel and historic machinery. The ground floor houses a large reception area, while the upper level and an adjoining extension offer space for further development. Subject to feasibility studies and permits, the waterwheel and water rights offer the potential for hydroelectric power generation. Spanning nearly 8 hectares, the estate features centuries-old trees, meadows, an orchard, and riverbanks, creating a pristine landscape shaped by the flow of the Bresle. The river is directly accessible from the property, which also includes a designated swimming area. The omnipresence of water, the absence of overlooking neighbors, and the island-like setting lend the estate a rare atmosphere defined by nature, privacy, and serenity. Listed as a Historic Monument, the Domaine de Penthièvre brings together heritage, nature, and development potential within a single property. Whether as a large family home, a venue for events, a boutique hospitality business, or a cultural or artistic project, the site’s layout allows for a wide range of uses while maintaining the independence of the various buildings. Located near the Bay of Somme and the beaches of the Alabaster and Picardy coasts, the estate also enjoys a location that allows for easy access to Paris and the major hubs of Normandy and the Hauts-de-France region.
