The Château du Maréchal de Saxe An Exceptional Historic Estate on the Outskirts of Paris. Just twenty kilometres from Paris, at the heart of an estate spanning approximately sixty hectares, the Château de la Grange, better known as the Château du Maréchal de Saxe, stands among the most remarkable historic residences in the Île-de-France region. Originally commissioned in 1617 by Charles Duret de Chevry, Superintendent of Finances under King Louis XIII, and designed by the architect Jean Thiriot, a close associate of Cardinal Richelieu, the château was built on the foundations of a former fortified farm in the heart of the Forest of La Grange. Its elegant brick-and-stone architecture, a hallmark of the Louis XIII style, gives the property a timeless distinction. Offering approximately 1,300 sq.m (14,000 sq.ft) of living space, complemented by around 1,700 sq.m (18,300 sq.ft) of outbuildings, the estate presents exceptional potential for a luxury hospitality, events, institutional or mixed-use development of international standing. The château entered history in 1748 when it was acquired by Maurice de Saxe, Marshal of France, victor of the Battle of Fontenoy and one of the greatest military strategists of the eighteenth century. He undertook extensive improvements to the estate, including the creation of the celebrated Galerie des Stucs (Stucco Gallery). Over the centuries, the estate passed into the hands of several distinguished families closely connected to the highest circles of power, notably the Gourgaud family, whose history is deeply intertwined with the Napoleonic era. Listed as a Historic Monument, the château has preserved its façades, roofs, ceremonial gallery, several historic reception rooms, its Cour d’Honneur, moats, magnificent entrance gates and a substantial part of its landscaped park. The current owners have successfully revived the estate by restoring its historic salons and establishing a refined gourmet restaurant, demonstrating the remarkable potential of a property where heritage, gastronomy, nature and the French art of entertaining coexist in perfect harmony. Today, this extraordinary estate awaits a new visionary owner. Its immediate proximity to Paris, the quality of its architectural heritage, the scale of its buildings and the beauty of its grounds make it a truly rare opportunity to create a prestigious hotel. Some estates preserve history. Others offer the opportunity to write it.

Discreetly nestled in the heart of a picturesque village in Seine-et-Marne, near the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, just one hour from Paris, within an unspoiled and bucolic setting, this 18th-century manor, recognised as a ‘Remarkable Heritage’ property, together with its outbuildings, is set within more than 1.2 acres of grounds, entirely sheltered from view. From the street, the façade, the walls and the large solid electric gates form a protective barrier, revealing nothing of the residence’s distinguished history. Built in 1749, the manor has retained all the hallmarks of 18th-century classical architecture: restrained lines, symmetry, harmonious proportions, enfilade reception rooms, Versailles parquet flooring, antique terracotta tiles, cabochon stone flooring, period fireplaces and woodwork, oeil-de-bœuf windows, panelling and mouldings, all contributing to its irresistible charm. The authenticity and spirit of the property have been perfectly preserved, while benefiting from the modern enhancements introduced by its previous owners, emblematic figures of luxury, elegance and refinement. First came Karl Lagerfeld. The celebrated Chanel designer, an art lover and connoisseur of exceptional residences, immediately recognised the rarity of this property, offering both proximity to Paris and the peace and escape of the Brie countryside. He imbued the house with his distinctive taste, introducing discreet yet luxurious comfort suited to a place designed equally for living, working and relaxation, combining modernity and authenticity down to the finest detail. The leading models of the era came here to pose for him within this exceptional setting. He was succeeded by his friend Princess Caroline of Monaco and her husband, the Prince of Hanover, who lived here for several years with their children, drawn by the property’s privacy and by the quality of life offered by the village and its many amenities. The manor offers approximately 4,845sqm. of living space over three levels served by two staircases. On the ground floor, the reception rooms arranged in enfilade, with numerous large windows, open southwards onto the vast lawn of the beautifully landscaped garden, where a swimming pool could be added.

The fully fitted bespoke kitchen connects to a service entrance and extends into technical areas including a laundry room and cold room. The first floor comprises four suites, each with a bedroom, dressing room or extensive storage and a marble bathroom. The second floor, which is air-conditioned, accommodates three additional bedrooms with bathrooms, as well as a large office/dormitory space. On the lower ground floor, a vaulted wine cellar, maintained in optimal conditions, is ideal for the storage and tasting of wines. The property also includes an independent house of approximately 1,720sqm. arranged over two levels, each with its own independent access. Currently arranged as two separate apartments, it is designed in a way that also allows for conversion into a single house. It notably features on the first floor a vast light-filled room with mezzanine and a large glass façade, suitable for a spacious contemporary living room, a generous office, or artist’s studio. The final outbuilding is a bucolic single-storey caretaker’s house of approximately 540sqm. A charming paved courtyard includes three covered parking areas accommodating around ten vehicles.
