17th Century Château With Extensive Outbuildings Near Paris

About the Property

A 17th-century château, set within a preserved estate of over 23 hectares, located just 45 minutes from Paris in the Parc Naturel Régional du Vexin. This property, encompassing approximately 800 m², features a coherent and adaptable layout, ideal for heritage, residential, tourism, or commercial projects. The estate includes numerous outbuildings and offers an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking authenticity. The château, constructed in 1600, showcases a façade of dressed stone and brick, crowned with a mansard-style roof typical of the 17th and 18th centuries. Each of its three levels boasts ceiling heights nearing 4 meters, with abundant openings that ensure a rare brightness throughout the interior. The estate is further enhanced by picturesque views of the park, a functioning fountain, a pond, a swimming pool, and riding paths in the distance. Historically, the Seraincourt estate belonged to Jean de Valliquerville and hosted notable figures such as Ninon de Lenclos, a celebrated courtesan of Louis XIV’s court. The property underwent significant remodeling in the late 17th century for the Choppin family, who retained ownership for over two centuries. In the early 20th century, it became the residence of Pola Negri, a silent film actress and friend of Charlie Chaplin. Following a fire in 2012, the château was restored under the supervision of an architect from the Bâtiments de France, ensuring its structural integrity while awaiting further interior design according to the future owner's vision. The ground floor comprises a grand entrance hall, a double living room, a library, two dining rooms, a kitchen, and separate toilets. The first floor is accessible via an elegant wooden staircase, leading to five or six bedrooms, a dressing room, two bathrooms, and additional toilets.
