Description

A Historic Residence Opposite Château de Bonnelles

This distinguished nineteenth century residence occupies an exceptional position directly opposite the historic Château de Bonnelles, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse. Built around 1850 as part of the château estate, it once housed stables and dependencies and remains closely connected to the legacy of the Duchesse d’Uzès, a prominent figure of French aristocratic life and the Belle Époque.

Following a complete restoration, the residence preserves the proportions, atmosphere, and architectural grace of a traditional French country house while introducing the comfort expected of a sophisticated contemporary home. Across approximately 465 square metres, six king bedrooms, seven bathrooms, elegant salons, and generous living spaces create a composed setting for families and groups. The principal residence accommodates up to 12 guests, while five adjacent apartments in the former estate stables can extend the overall capacity to 24.

The outlook is one of the home’s defining features. The historic château forms an exceptional focal point, framed by greenery and the nearby Rambouillet Forest, creating a rare sense of heritage, privacy, and connection to nature.

A private garden, terraces, summer kitchen, and barbecue extend daily life outdoors, from quiet breakfasts to long lunches and evening gatherings. Despite its country setting, the residence remains well placed for Paris, Versailles, Rambouillet, and Paris Orly Airport, balancing rural calm with convenient access to the region’s cultural landmarks and natural surroundings.
