House with swimming pool on Île des Moulins - Le Perreux-sur-Marne

You have to accept slowing down. A few seconds of crossing are enough to change everything.

The moment the boat leaves the bank, the hustle and bustle fades away. The noise of cars disappears, notifications become distant, almost abstract. Here, on Île des Moulins, life unfolds differently. Gentler, more deliberate. More precious. And yet, we are in Le Perreux-sur-Marne. A sought-after, vibrant town, perfectly integrated into the demanding Parisian lifestyle: high-quality shops, renowned schools, a smooth and pleasant neighborhood life. The island, however unique, is never a constraint imposed upon us, but rather a conscious choice, that of a different way of life, without sacrificing what is essential. At the heart of this island interlude, a house of 376 sqm of living space (approximately 471 sqm of floor space) unfolds its volumes with uncommon generosity.

A straightforward architecture, open to its surroundings, designed to engage in a dialogue with the omnipresent nature. From the moment you step inside, the views unfold. The living area is arranged around a double-sided fireplace and an open-plan kitchen, creating a seamless flow. Then, your gaze is drawn to the almost ethereal bow window, which frames the garden and extends the living space outdoors.

Here, inside and outside become one. For it is precisely here that the house reveals its unique character: in this constant connection with the island. The terraces, the clean lines of the swimming pool, the lush vegetation, the nearby water--everything invites you to live outdoors, at every moment of the day.

Currently, the house is laid out with a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor, along with an office and a vast, impressively proportioned gym. Upstairs, there are three generously sized suites, each with its own bathroom and dressing room. The main suite extends onto a terrace overlooking the garden and swimming pool, designed as a true solarium, secluded and enveloped in greenery.

A sauna completes this ensemble, naturally extending the wellness experience within the house. The ancillary spaces--attic, laundry room, and utility rooms--offer valuable flexibility and allow for easy adaptation to changing lifestyles. Technically, the house is fully modern: heat pump, solar panels, recently renovated roof, and an energy performance certificate rated C. A rare balance for a property of this size.

A garage on the riverbank, currently rented, provides parking for two vehicles and facilitates easy access. The boats, essential to this island lifestyle, are a natural part of the property. Beyond these elements, something else takes hold.

A feeling. That of a place conceived with ambition, now simply waiting to be rediscovered, reclaimed, reinvented. Here, everyday life is transformed. No car parked outside, no impromptu deliveries. Every trip becomes a journey, almost a ritual.

A way to regain control of one's rhythm. In return, a luxury that has become rare: silence, space, nature, and the feeling of being somewhere else entirely, truly, while remaining just minutes from everything.

This place isn't for everyone, and that's precisely what makes it so special. It's incomparable. It's something you feel and will profoundly affect those who can envision themselves there. A refuge, in the most contemporary sense of the word.
