A second glazed facade opens onto a wooded inner courtyard, while a zenithal bay captures the course of the sun. This space brings together living room, dining room and American kitchen in a warm atmosphere, evoking a contemporary chalet. The sleeping area includes three bedrooms, a bathroom and separate toilet. A room of 20 m 2, originally designed as a music room and with remarkable acoustics, can accommodate a master suite with bathroom. On the other side of the patio, an independent space of 34 m 2, with bathroom, has been converted into an office—ideal for a liberal profession, a workshop or a guest room. The attic offers a significant storage volume, and a bicycle room completes the set. The land, entirely wooded, is piscinable. A poetic and sculptural architecture The house presents itself as a sculptural volume alternating concave and convex forms, freely inspired by traditional longères. It folds around a central patio, creating a true intimate heart, while a single tile roof envelops the whole and unifies its different wings, drawing in passing covered exterior pathways. The openings have been designed as real framings of the landscape: through-views, panoramic banners, controlled perspectives allowing one to enjoy nature without being seen. An exemplary bioclimatic design Built according to the strict standards of passive houses, this property offers optimal thermal comfort, low energy consumption and an environmentally friendly design. Detailed analysis of the site, rational management of materials, acoustic and sanitary performance, studied orientation, quality of the envelope... each detail testifies to a sustainable and demanding approach. +33610071308

A carriage ride from Paris, the Château de la Fontaine, an eternal fable. Just 35 kilometers from Paris, where the capital gradually yields to foliage and silence, the Château de la Fontaine in Auffargis emerges as a timeless interlude. Built for himself by the Parisian architect Jean-François Yvert between 1871 and 1875, the estate spans just over 1050 square meters. It stands at the heart of the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse Regional Natural Park, embraced by the Rambouillet Forest, and overlooks the Abbey of Vaux-de-Cernay, a Cistercian jewel nestled in the valley. Architecturally, it echoes the Louis XIII style and the traditional brick and stone châteaux of the Île-de-France. Here, the stone does more than recount history; it whispers it, like the wind stirring through the asphodel leaves. This château is poetry, and more than that, a fable worthy of La Fontaine, where every façade and every perspective invites contemplation and reverie. Its theatrical elegance, expressed through carved woodwork, intimate proportions, and a meticulous attention to detail characteristic of the grand residences of its century, makes this jewel a true family home. A caretakers house and an outbuilding complete the ensemble. Surrounding it are 30 hectares of landscaped gardens and preserved nature, a verdant setting where the seasons unfold like a ballerina crossing the stage in an ethereal movement. Pathways trace meditative walks, clearings create moments of openness, and the entire estate seems suspended between dream and reality. An exceptional renovation, carried out with uncompromising standards, has reinterpreted the château for contemporary living without ever altering its soul. Modern comfort blends in discreetly: a wine cellar, spacious garage, heated indoor swimming pool, gym, billiard room with English bar, orangery, elevator Each a contemporary note inscribed within a perfectly orchestrated heritage composition. Five bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms are currently fitted, with the possibility of creating four additional bedrooms in the outbuilding. This property is an emotion, a rare address where the art of living converses with history, and where luxury expresses itself through grandeur in simplicity. Modest in scale yet radiant in spirit, this château carries within it the nobility of great houses. It invites its future custodian to continue an ancient legend patiently etched in stone, and to engrave their own, framed by the enduring word : family.
