Barbizon

Virginie Lauzon, specialist in character and architect-designed properties with De La Cour Au Jardin, invites you to discover:

In Barbizon, the legendary village of painters just 55 km from Paris, this 1920s villa captures the refined charm of interwar retreats.
Set on the edge of the Fontainebleau Forest, along the historic boundary path leading to the heart of the village, it offers nearly 550 sqm to restore within an innovative forest estate where heritage and ecology blend with elegance.

Its architecture, emblematic of the Barbizon spirit, stands out with ornate ironwork, arched windows, and hipped roofs crowned with decorative finials.
Generous volumes, fluid layouts, and open views toward nature express the timeless sophistication of an era when architecture was an art of living.

Arranged over three and a half levels with a large basement, the villa opens onto a private garden of 5,600 sqm.
Light-filled rooms frame the surrounding landscape like living paintings — parkland, clearings, and forest edges compose a dynamic natural scene.
The main living room extends onto a terrace overlooking the garden, connecting to a spacious dining room and a kitchen designed around two pantries.
Upstairs, the bedrooms open to the park, two of them with private bathrooms.
A large terrace overlooks the billiard room below, offering a unique perspective over the estate.

On the garden level, leisure areas — billiard room, bar, cloakroom — create a relaxed atmosphere ideal for summer evenings.
Below, the basement retains its original functions — cellars, laundry, boiler room, and service quarters — quiet witnesses to another way of life.

Villa Bramefaon lies within a 2.5-hectare estate, crossed by a majestic plane tree avenue and providing direct access to the forest.
Its private garden is complemented by shared ecological spaces — vegetable gardens and a natural swimming pool — designed with a collective, sustainable vision.

The estate reimagines the notion of living space through simplicity, connection, and transmission.
Here, architecture becomes a dialogue between heritage and future, between comfort and responsibility.
One inhabits the forest as much as the home, reviving Barbizon’s creative spirit in a contemporary interpretation — a place where luxury lies in the harmony between humankind and nature.

Villa Bramefaon reads like a page of history open to the future — a heritage to reinvent, a promise of balance between memory, freedom, and resilience.

Shops and galleries in the village are just 4 minutes by bike or 15 minutes on foot.
