Architect-designed house from the 1970s and its exceptional forest estate

Ideally located in Seine-et-Marne, just 30 kilometers from Paris, this exceptional wooded estate boasts a 1970s architect-designed house by Burban. This high-end property offers 442 sq m of living space in the heart of a private wooded park of over 50 hectares, complete with a natural pond and a small hunting lodge.

The ten-room main house opens onto an entrance hall leading to a separate kitchen, a triple-height living room with a cathedral ceiling, whose unique proportions showcase exposed oak beams, marble flooring, and a monumental brass fireplace, a comfortable master suite with bedroom, boudoir, dressing room, and retro-style bathroom, and a laundry room with toilet. Upstairs, a spectacular billiard room with an original bar and a beautiful corner fireplace benefits from a 4-meter ceiling height, revealing a remarkable traditional timber frame. Large windows create a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, bathing each living space in natural light. A hallway leads to three bedrooms and a bathroom.

Another small bedroom completes this level. Several characterful outbuildings, including a 200 sq m barn ripe for renovation and a caretaker’s cottage, offer further development potential. The grounds comprise a rare and enclosed natural area, classified as a ZNIEFF (Zone Naturelle d’Intérêt Écologique, Faunistique et Floristique – Natural Area of Ecological, Faunistic and Floristic Interest).

This wooded area, composed primarily of mature oak and ash trees, benefits from a Simple Management Plan guaranteeing its long-term preservation. A network of private paths leads to a pond of over 7,000 sq m and a stream, providing an exceptionally private living environment.

Located in Gretz-Armainvilliers, the property benefits from its immediate proximity to the amenities of the Brie region, including the nearby train station, local shops, and schools. Paris is easily accessible via the A4 motorway or the RER E commuter train at Tournan station. This manifesto-like house, characterized by the integrity of its modernist design and its complete symbiosis with nature, all just half an hour from Paris, represents a truly unique and atypical property on the market.
