An Elegant Petit Château in One of the Largest Forested Areas Outside of Paris

This property is listed by Mark Harvey of Knight Frank. Price upon application.

This ivy-covered manor home comes with 44 acres of formal gardens and lush woodland, with direct access to the forests of the Château de Chantilly: 20,000 acres in one of the largest forested areas outside of Paris. 

The ‘neighbouring’ Château de Chantilly is a historic chateau considered “one of the finest jewels in the crown of France's cultural heritage”. Visitors can not only tour the Renaissance castle, but visit the Musee Conde within it which houses one of the finest collections of historical paintings in France ⁠— second only to the Louvre. 

The region is also known for its world-class equestrian community boasting the most impressive race horse training facilities in all of Europe.

Included with the estate is an Octagonal guest house, stables, 3 garages, four staff apartments  and a guardian’s lodge. The large park around the château features a lake and woodland bridle paths. There is also a historic ruin and a cave on the property. There is also a tennis court and a pool.

The 12-bedroom home has 4 formal reception rooms with impressive millwork detail throughout. Designed for comfort and style, this elegant petit château is just 1 hour north of Paris.
