Rambouillet, Île-de-France 78120

Located at the gates of the Rambouillet forest, this former stone mill of the region was built on the edge of a mill site whose existence has been attested since 1160. This place combines authenticity and serenity within a preserved environment. Beyond its history, it is its configuration that appeals: two independent dwellings connected by a tiled atrium, a main house with 8 rooms, and a guest house with 2 rooms, which allow both hosting guests, housing your family in separate spaces, or generating rental income. The main house consists on the ground floor of two large reception rooms, one with a monumental fireplace, an office, a kitchen, and a pantry. Upstairs are five bedrooms arranged in a star shape, one opening onto a terrace, and three bathrooms, while a large insulated attic reveals a beautiful chestnut timber frame in perfect condition. The guest house, for its part, has its own living room, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom, for true autonomy. From one room to another, the character of the place is reflected in each of its carefully preserved period features: monumental fireplaces, old tiles, exposed beams, and excellent condition oak parquet floors. Complementing the property are several dependencies: a vaulted underground wine cellar, a workshop, and a shelter with parking possibilities. The whole is set in a park of more than 4 hectares, fully enclosed and not flood-prone, bordered by the stream and planted with century-old trees and remarkable specimens: sequoias, oaks, acacias, birches, and chestnuts. This park offers a rare and peaceful exceptional setting. It is from this balance that the property's versatility arises, making it valuable: suitable as a primary residence, secondary residence, or for supporting guest rooms. Refreshing works, without major structural work, are to be expected, seen as a real potential for personalization. While the place invites to nature, it is also close to Paris. Several stations serve the area, including Rambouillet station, about ten kilometers away: a direct train connects there to Montparnasse station in about thirty minutes, with departures every quarter of an hour. The capital is also about fifty minutes away by road via the RN10. An opportunity to seize for those seeking space, character, and nature, without giving up proximity to Paris.
