The details

Steeped in history yet wonderfully welcoming, this elegant 18th-century manor offers the best of both worlds. Set in the heart of the charming town of Malesherbes, right on the edge of the Gâtinais Regional Nature Park, it combines the convenience of a vibrant market town with the peace and beauty of a grand country estate. Surrounded by two hectares of leafy gardens, colourful flowerbeds and mature trees, it's a wonderfully atmospheric retreat where you can slow down, gather with loved ones and soak up centuries of French charm.

The property is made up of the main manor house and a separate gîte, which can be rented together or independently to suit your group. Altogether, the estate sleeps up to 14 guests, making it ideal for large family gatherings, celebrations with friends or multi-generational holidays. Whether you're filling the entire estate with loved ones or enjoying a quieter stay in the cosy gîte, you'll find spaces that invite you to relax and reconnect.

Inside the manor, original features sit beautifully alongside modern comforts. Herringbone parquet floors, geometric tiles, elegant wood panelling, original fireplaces and even 19th-century wall paintings create a timeless atmosphere throughout. At the heart of the home is a spacious open-plan kitchen, complete with its original fireplace, a generous and bespoke central island and a large dining table where everyone can gather for long breakfasts or celebratory dinners. The adjoining lounge, with its library, is perfect for curling up with a book or unwinding after a day exploring the surrounding countryside.

The main house offers four inviting bedrooms, while the separate gîte provides a peaceful retreat with its own open-plan living area and a characterful kitchen alongside two further bedrooms, taking the total to six. Outside, the beautifully landscaped gardens encourage leisurely afternoons, whether you're reading beneath the trees, enjoying a glass of wine on the stone terrace or cooling off in the inviting 8m x 4m swimming pool. With weekly cleaning included, WiFi throughout and even pets welcome, everything has been thoughtfully arranged for a relaxing stay.

Although it feels wonderfully secluded, you're only around 70km south of Paris, with Malesherbes station and local cafés, restaurants and shops all within walking distance. Beyond the gates, explore woodland walks through the Buthiers Forest, tackle the famous boulders of Fontainebleau, browse antiques at the Recyclerie du Gâtinais or indulge in a spa day and fine dining at Château d'Augerville. Whether you're seeking outdoor adventures, fascinating history or simply the chance to embrace the slower pace of French country life, this enchanting estate offers an unforgettable base.
