Stunning Renaissance Château With Magnificent Gardens 60 Km From Paris

About the Property

A sumptuous Renaissance château, built around 1540 and enlarged in the 18th century, located 60 km from Paris in the verdant Vexin region of Île-de-France. This architectural gem is set within a 26-hectare estate, featuring one of the most beautiful gardens in France, inspired by the Villa Gambéraia in Tuscany. The property is a remarkable example of Renaissance architecture, adorned with exquisite decorations and a gallery, offering a serene retreat in a preserved natural setting. The château's façade, dating back to 1540, showcases a rich decor of pilasters, capitals, and friezes, exemplifying the elegance of Renaissance design. A grand staircase leads to the great hall, while the medieval keep with its two watchtowers has been preserved and enhanced with Renaissance elements. The interior boasts sumptuous volumes and high-quality 18th-century decorations, including two lounges with vast fireplaces, one featuring a remarkable sculpted ceiling, and a large Renaissance gallery. The extraordinary gardens unfold across three terraces, characterized by meticulously trimmed boxwood and yews, linden alleys, and enchanting water features. Notable areas include the secret garden with a statue of Neptune, the greenhouse garden with tree peonies and tulips, and the Moon Garden, inspired by Mantegna's painting "Vices and Virtues." The upper terrace, known as the sun garden, blooms with 40,000 daffodils each spring, creating a vibrant chessboard effect. The south façade, constructed around 1710, features five arcades framing the steps of the Renaissance gallery that opens onto the park. The interior includes a bright and theatrical staircase hall, a library office with a balustraded skylight, and seven bedrooms on the second floor, complemented by two bathrooms and a large living room adorned with a marble fireplace. The third floor offers additional living space, including a beautiful bedroom and extensive attics.
