Lévis-Saint-Nom - Yvelines - Historic Renovated Castle in the Heart of the Haute Vallée De Chevreuse

Property Description

There are places that must be earned, and others that are passed on. Documented since the 16th century, this castle has watched over the countryside of the Chevreuse valley for more than four centuries. Its history intersects with that of the Crown. In the 18th century, it belonged to a son of Louis XIV, then to King Louis XV himself, who attached it to one of his hunting lodges. The 19th century gave it the appearance known today, and its current owners have restored all its splendor following a complete restoration. It is accessed by a large gravel esplanade, which reveals at a glance all the harmony of its facade. In the center, a brick and stone pavilion, crowned with a pediment and dominated by a square tower under a high slate roof. On either side, two light wings with mansard attics, pierced by dormer windows. On the park side, a balustraded terrace and its stone staircase descend to the lawns, the park, and its magnificent pond.

The castle extends nearly 1,000 sqm, arranged into five independent residences: the East Wing, the West Wing, a triplex, a duplex, and the Stables. In total, twenty bedrooms, most with their own bathroom, five reception areas including three heated by pellet stoves, five equipped kitchens, two offices that can serve as additional bedrooms, four cellars including two vaulted, and about fifteen parking spaces.

The whole rests on a plot of more than 5 hectares, combining a vast park with several private gardens. This rare configuration allows for all desires to be fulfilled. Several generations of the same family can meet here, each in their own world, never far from each other. The estate can also become the heart of a heritage project designed to last.

Inside, the restoration opted for sobriety. The volumes were completely renovated and equipped with all today's comforts, in neutral tones that leave room for imagination. Everyone can write their own story here: rediscover the atmosphere of yesteryear with family furniture, tapestries, and woodwork, or cultivate a resolutely contemporary spirit sheltered by walls charged with four centuries of history. A blank page, in an exceptional setting.

Nestled in the heart of the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse Regional Natural Park, between Rambouillet and Versailles, it offers the peace of the countryside just 45 km from Paris, with a nearby station directly connected to Paris-Montparnasse station in 45 minutes.

An estate to explore to fully appreciate its magic.
