Sébastien Amieil, a specialist in charming properties at DE LA COUR AU JARDIN, invites you to discover this elegant, characterful property built around 1750. Passed down from generation to generation for over two centuries, this charming residence has retained all its authenticity. On the outskirts of Maintenon, tucked away from prying eyes and just 1½ hours from Paris, this property was notably the home of a famous man of letters who found inspiration and a refuge here, far from the hustle and bustle of Paris. Today, the estate retains all the richness of its past and offers a rare living environment, where heritage and the art of living blend harmoniously within the heart of a landscaped, tree-lined park.

The main house has approximately 175 m² of living space, divided into eight rooms, including five bedrooms. The ground floor opens onto an entrance hall featuring a wooden staircase leading to the upper floors. It leads to a study, a bathroom, a living room with an open-hearth fireplace, a dining room, a kitchen-diner and a utility room. The first floor features a corridor leading to five bedrooms, one of which has a toilet that could easily be converted into a shower room. On the second floor, two rooms have been converted into a dormitory within a spacious loft requiring insulation. This space offers great potential for development, allowing, for example, the creation of a games room or additional bedrooms with a shower room. The property has retained its original features: antique terracotta floor tiles on every level, period fireplaces, washrooms, a vaulted cellar… All these details will appeal to lovers of French heritage.

Just a stone’s throw from the main house, a guest house measuring approximately 63 m², currently let under a residential tenancy agreement, is a real asset to the property portfolio. The tenant has given notice to leave on 1 September, meaning the property will soon be available. It comprises a living room with a fireplace, a kitchenette, a shower room and three bedrooms, one of which is situated on the landing. It offers the potential to generate a steady rental income, accommodate family and friends, or, in the long term, develop into a holiday cottage.

The estate is complemented by a range of outbuildings: a shed with a wood store, a second vaulted cellar, a barn, former stables with their stalls, a large covered courtyard, and a spacious loft suitable for conversion on the upper floor. These buildings offer a wealth of possibilities for a family, artistic, equestrian or professional venture.

The property is currently in need of renovation, primarily in terms of energy efficiency and technical upgrades, but its architecture and character provide an exceptional foundation for realising the property’s full potential. Energy assessments and audits are available to provide future buyers with peace of mind as they embark on their project.

Beyond its buildings and grounds, what is on offer is, above all, a place steeped in history. A true family home, where every room bears the mark of the generations who have lived there.
