A fragment of history in the heart of the Upper Chevreuse Valley: a 14th-century…

Some places transcend centuries, preserving their inherent spirit.

In Rochefort-en-Yvelines, within the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse Regional Natural Park, this unique residence has been part of the landscape since the 14th century, a silent guardian of time.

Just steps from the prestigious Rochefort-en-Yvelines Golf Course and the Haras de la Cense stud farm, this rare property offers approximately 260 square meters of living space, organized around a medieval tower, the heart of the house, and extended by a separate barn with inspiring proportions.

From the moment you step inside, the house reveals a warm atmosphere, where ancient stone, generous proportions, and light create a timeless harmony.

The ground floor is centered around a vast living room of over 40 square meters, featuring a fireplace, perfect for long winter evenings and shared family moments.

Extending from the main living area, nestled within the tower, a 26 sq m circular living room offers an exceptional, intimate, and enveloping space, a true architectural signature of the property.

A separate, fully equipped kitchen, a ground-floor bedroom, and a bathroom with a toilet complete this level.

Upstairs, the charm continues with four bedrooms, one of which is tucked away in the tower, inviting peaceful nights, lulled by the history of the walls. A bathroom and a separate toilet complete the sleeping area.

Two cellars extend the living spaces of the house, one of which has been converted into a laundry room, ideal for storage or wine cellaring.

Modern comforts are discreetly integrated: a recently maintained tile and slate roof, a new Frisquet gas boiler, fiber optic internet, and mains drainage connection.

Echoing the house, a separate 140 sq m barn opens up a world of possibilities. Its recently renovated ground floor, featuring a spacious room of over 60 square meters, currently used as an artist's studio, invites creativity, entertaining, or the exploration of new uses.

Upstairs, approximately 80 square meters remain to be developed, offering a blank canvas for those who can project their vision onto it. A storage room, a wine cellar, and an electric vehicle charger further enhance this space.

Outside, the landscaped garden of approximately 350 square meters, intimate and meticulously designed, provides a verdant haven, perfect for savoring the surrounding tranquility and the gentle pace of life characteristic of the Chevreuse Valley.

A rare and inspiring place, where heritage, nature, and the art of living intertwine, ideal for lovers of character homes seeking authenticity, less than an hour from Paris.
