French Château Outside of Paris

This property is on the market for €1,580,000 listed with Jane Landrey of Marc Foujols.  

Built in 1594 in the Louis XIII style, the property was originally the hunting lodge of Henri IV, where he would receive his mistress Gabrielle d'Estrées. 

The 3 acre property is positioned with views over the Seine river and the adjacent forest of Fontainebleau, set in a charming landscaped park with manicured yew trees. 

The château is built upon cellars which today include a wine cellar. The 10 bedroom, 5 bathroom property is spread across 6,459 square feet, with an attractive layout and large, light filled rooms. 

With its close proximity to the Bois le Roi station—a 35 minute commute to Paris Gare de Lyon—the château is well positioned as an elegant country home, or as a coveted vacation rental property. 

There is a seldom-used freight line which runs behind the property’s park, reflected in its attractive sale price.
