This estate is one of the most unique properties in the nearby Parisian crown, due to the exceptional combination of three rarely united assets: 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 classified entirely as a protected natural zone, and absolute tranquility with no visible neighboring properties in a three hundred sixty-degree horizon. This estate, owned by the same family for several decades, consists of three cadastral parcels for a total area of 23,111 m², all classified as a protected natural area and as a Classified Wooded Space (PLU of 2017), which makes it entirely non-buildable and guarantees its total preservation. The estate includes two residential buildings located within 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-resistant, stable and durable material, which gives the entire structure remarkable solidity and endurance. The building features two habitable levels plus a basement. The insulation is provided by wood wool in the roof, on the exterior walls, and in the ground floor. The heating is through city gas, and the property is connected to the sewage system. On the ground floor, there is a main living room in an L shape, bright and through-flowing, arranged as a living room with dining corner, opening to the wooded environment, and a small room with a mezzanine that can serve as a bedroom or office. This is complemented by a kitchen and necessary service areas for daily life (a pre-installed chimney flue). On the upper floor, accessible by an internal staircase, there are two bedrooms and a bathroom. A basement with internal or external access provides storage spaces and the crawl space, housing the gas boiler.

The caretaker's house:
Located on a separate cadastral parcel of 1,300 m², the caretaker's house is built on 2 levels. It includes a cathedral-style 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 previously had a buried swimming pool (large basin and small basin), built in 1964. It is currently completely out of service.

Jouy-en-Josas is a commune in the Yvelines department (78350), located about 25 kilometers southwest of Paris. The estate is located in the hamlet of Metz, a wooded and completely preserved haven 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. In comparison, Chevreuse is located 27 kilometers from the Pont de Sèvres and Rambouillet 46 kilometers away. The immediate environment consists of a state forest to the north, private wooded parcels in a natural area to the east and west. The commune of Versailles is accessible in about fifteen minutes, and Saint-Germain-en-Laye in about twenty minutes. Major road infrastructures (A10 highway, N118 national highway) are nearby, and the N line of the Transilien (Jouy-en-Josas station) allows you to reach Paris-Montparnasse.
