Castle of the nineteenth completely restored

Located in Essonne, 35 km south of Paris, this castle of 1500m² of living space built in 1848, with a classical and very balanced architecture, was completely restored according to the rules of the art in 2012. With a harmonious style on the four facades, the castle is characterized by its Mansard roof, its balusters on the 3 levels of residence, its ashlar and stucco facades, the tidy pilasters on the ground floor and upstairs, its arched French windows... The interior of the castle surprises above all by the open volumes with rooms that are both large and proportionate. The entrance hall with its magnificent staircase sets the tone as soon as you walk through the door: marble, columns, dressed stone, ironwork and high ceilings. The 4 reception rooms facing the park are of the same calibre: large glass doors guaranteeing permanent light, herringbone parquet floors, marble fireplaces, mirrors, mouldings, gilding and a particularly successful set of woodwork in the music room. The contemporary kitchen on the ground floor fits in perfectly with the whole. On the first floor, a master suite, comprising a large bedroom with a dominant view of the park, a bathroom, a dressing room and a gym. Five other bedrooms with bathrooms and marble fireplaces offer different themes. On the 2nd floor, 10 studio rooms with bathrooms. The basement space hosts a large spa including swimming pool, sauna, steam room, massage room, gym. A workshop and a wine cellar complete this level. The 10-hectare park starts from a flat starting point on its upper part where the castle is located, and then gradually descends towards the valley. From the vast terrace of the castle overlooking the park, a large gently sloping lawn up to the belvedere provides a lovely view of the gardens. Below, an expanse of meadow and woods. From the right side of the terrace, you can see a pretty pond with a pavilion, at the back a tennis court and then again a wooded area. The whole of the English-style park is harmonious and leaves unobstructed views of the valley. There are several golf courses nearby. Access to the property is easy from Paris via the A6 motorway or from Charles de Gaulle airport via the Francilienne.
