A short drive west of Paris leads to this beautiful country house. The property is perched at the top of the village of Neauphle-le Chateau. Push the oak door into its walled courtyard. You’ll find the majestic main house flanked by a garage with workshop, and a 2 bedroom guesthouse. The latter is ideal for guests, staff or rental.

The main house stands out with its original features. These include high ceilings and large windows with expansive views of the countryside. And the house is spread over three floors.

The entrance hall leads to a vast sitting room with library and windows on three sides that provide superb light all day. Doors open directly into the garden, with wide scenic views. Both rooms provide large oak beams and working fireplaces. The ground level also offers a vast eat-in kitchen. In addition, it opens onto a small terrace, ideal for breakfast or an aperitif in the sun.

The next floor houses the master suite and 3 more bedrooms. There is also a guest bath and WC on this floor with impressive ceiling height and large windows. Rustic charm marries modern comfort throughout.

The top floor with cathedral ceilings and beautiful wooden beams is a loft style with an additional bed and bath.

The basement level offers a quiet study, an eco-friendly wood pellet heating system, a game room, and a large cellar.

Surrounded by a blooming garden bathed in southwestern sunlight, this rare property makes a peaceful haven. It is ideal for a family looking to enjoy country life with easy access to town, a short drive from the British school of Paris.
