Grandeur in the countryside

Grandeur in the countryside

This atypical property is located in the peaceful village of Rubelles, just north of the city of Melun. Featuring 500 sq m of living space, the two-story manor house stands at the heart of a 35,000-sq m domain with an unobstructed view over the area. “The estate can accomodate several families”, stresses Jolies Demeures Sotheby’s International agency. The ground floor boasts a fully-equipped kitchen, a dining room and a double living room. It opens onto the terrace. The first floor features the Master bedroom, a study and two bedrooms, while three additional bedrooms are located on the upper floor. The whole decoration is inspired by 18th-century English houses. Vintage furniture can be acquired separately. The estate also features outstanding outbuildings, such as former stalls turned into a white ballroom and a party room. The park is a bucolic invitation to walks with its 1900-style aviaries, a pond, an orange grove and a river connecting to the nearby castle of Vaux-le-Vicomte. The sale comes with a 120-sq m guest house, an outdoor swimming pool, a tennis court and a garage.
