To the southwest of Fontainebleau, a restored old longhouse with outbuildings and the possibility of acquiring an extra 29 hectares. This property is made up of two longhouses with discrete façades, facing on to a street, and probably built in the 19th century on the foundations of a former convent. The main house has approximately 270 m² of living floor-space spread over two longhouses that have been cleverly combined. This three-storey building has a rendered façade facing onto the street and another south-facing one overlooking the garden. The gabled roof is made up of terracotta tiles. The property is bathed in light thanks to the many shuttered windows. The interior has a garden level opening onto an initial garden, a ground floor that opens onto the street and an attic level. Several outbuildings form a square courtyard surrounding the first garden, which opens out into a second one boasting old stone walls.

A 15th-century seigneurial house to be renovated near the historical town of Fontainebleau, France. A chateau dating back to the 15th century stood on this property up to the end of the 18th century. This chateau was largely redesigned in the 17th century. A map from 1785 shows that the chateau formed a quadrilateral in which each corner was protected by a tower. Yet most of this chateau was sadly destroyed during the French Revolution. The edifice was then turned into a fortified farm complex centred upon a rectangular courtyard. Today, all the towers have disappeared, but the covered carriage entrance with a double gate flanked by loopholes has been preserved. On the left, there is a long stone wall that used to protect a chicken coop and rabbit hutches. Beside this wall there is a dairy and a dovecote. The seigneurial house stands at a right angle to these constructions. Its facade faces the courtyard, on its northern side. And its southern elevation faces the surrounding land. Next to it there is a former cowshed, then a barn. To the right of the entrance, there is a row of four barns. They stand opposite the seigneurial house. An old tithe barn adjoins them at a right angle. All the buildings are made of burrstone. The main house has a three-slope roof, but all the other buildings have gable roofs covered with local flat tiles. You reach the property from a calm village road that runs along the northern elevation of the row of four barns, beside which lie two pétanque courts and a pond. Land extends around the other sides of the former chateau’s rectangular enclosure. An open-sided barn beside the covered carriage entrance completes this complex of buildings.

In the heart of a hamlet near Rambouillet, an old farm, its family home, its barns awaiting refurbishment, on 4860 m² of land. Once isolated in the middle of agricultural plots, the farm is now in the centre of the hamlet. Once a place of work and exchange, the farmhouse is arranged around a vast central gravel courtyard with a lawn parterre. The buildings form an L-shape, with the exception of a modest workshop and barn at the entrance to the farm. Visible from the courtyard, there is a pond lined with local trees which does not form part of the property. Two entrances lead to the courtyard. For practical reasons, they probably replaced a carriage gate that has now disappeared. Over time and as required, the farm was successively enlarged by juxtaposing and combining simple rectangular volumes, built over one or two levels plus attic. The buildings are constructed with local materials, pointed coursed rubble masonry and bricks.
