This estate is one of the most unique properties in the near Parisian crown, due to the exceptional combination of three rarely united advantages: immediate proximity to Paris — less than ten kilometers as the crow flies from the Pont de Sèvres — a wooded area of more than two hectares entirely classified as a protected natural zone, and absolute peace with no visible neighbors on a horizon of three hundred sixty degrees. This estate, owned by the same family for several decades, consists of three cadastral parcels for a total surface area of 23,111 m², all classified as a protected natural zone and as a Classified Forest Area (PLU of 2017), making it entirely non-constructible and guaranteeing its total preservation.

The estate includes two residential buildings situated in this private forest, as well as an old buried swimming pool.

The main residence – the chalet:

The main residence is a wooden frame chalet made of Red Cedar, a naturally rot-proof, stable, and durable material, which gives the whole a remarkable solidity and longevity. The building has two habitable levels plus a basement.

Insulation is provided by wood wool in the roof, on the exterior walls, and on the ground floor. Heating is via city gas, and the property is connected to the sewer system.

It includes, on the ground floor, a bright and cross-flowing main living room in the shape of an L, arranged as a living space with a dining area, opening onto the wooded environment, and a small room with a mezzanine that can serve as a bedroom or an office. The whole is completed by a kitchen and necessary service areas for daily life (a pre-installed chimney flue).

Upstairs, accessible by an internal staircase, there are two bedrooms and a bathroom.

A basement with internal or external access allows entry to storage rooms and the crawl space, housing the gas boiler.

The caretaker's house:

Situated on a separate cadastral parcel of 1,300 m², the caretaker's house is built over 2 levels. It includes a cathedral-type living room with a mezzanine, three bedrooms, two of which are modest in size, and adjoining service areas. This building was constructed in 1975.

This building requires renovation work.

The old swimming pool:

The estate once featured a buried swimming pool (large pool and small pool), built in 1964. It is currently completely out of service.

Jouy-en-Josas is a municipality in the Yvelines department (78350), located about 25 kilometers southwest of Paris. The estate is located in the hamlet of Metz, a wooded and totally preserved nook away from any urban development. Its accessibility to Paris is remarkable for such a natural setting: the distance to the Pont de Sèvres is only 9.7 kilometers as the crow flies (19.4 kilometers for a round trip by road), which is about a twenty-minute journey under normal traffic conditions. By comparison, Chevreuse is located 27 kilometers from the Pont de Sèvres and Rambouillet 46 kilometers away.

The immediate environment features a state forest to the north, private wooded parcels in a natural zone to the east and west. The town of Versailles is reachable in about fifteen minutes, and Saint-Germain-en-Laye in about twenty minutes. Major road infrastructures (A10 motorway, N118 national road) are close, and the N line of the Transilien (Jouy-en-Josas station) allows access to Paris-Montparnasse.
