Description
Old farmhouse with swimming pool, completely renovated with all modern comforts while retaining a rustic and authentic charm. Immerse yourself in the Drouais countryside which is full of small villages, castles and grain fields as far as the eye can see. Stables, barn, watering troughs, everything has been tastefully renovated to transport you to this enchanted break while remaining close to Paris/Versailles. 50 minutes from Paris by car or 10 minutes by car from the nearest train station. The space - Main House with 3 bedrooms each with a bathroom. Potentially an extra bedroom if necessary. - Maison Fournil with 3 rooms: living room, bathroom, bedroom + large cinema/games room upstairs. - Stable house with mezzanine bedroom, bathroom, living room - Shed house with mezzanine bedroom, bathroom and living room 4 sofas scattered throughout the houses which all transform into sofa beds. 2 large fans available but it doesn't really get hot at night. Large garden in front of the main house and behind Maison Fournil with large garage + swimming pool + orchard behind. The swimming pool is very safe because it is elevated so just remove the ladder and you will be at peace, your children will not have access to it! Very quiet hamlet, not a sound. Possible to telework. Guest access The most practical is by car: 1 hour from Paris and 55 minutes from Orly. Parking on the farm without problem for 2-3 cars Perfectly possible by train too because there is a TER train or N train direct from Paris Montparnasse (55 minutes towards Dreux) Houdan stop. From there, it's 10 minutes by taxi, 20 minutes by bike or 1 hour on foot. Other things to note I have put together a guide for you so you don't miss any of the wonders of the region, but here is a taster: - Restaurants, you will find everything: .a super starred restaurant in a magnificent 18th century Relais & Châteaux estate (with also a super luxury bistro) 20 minutes away . a restaurant-antique dealer-guinguette in a large farm 10 minutes away . several organic restaurants with garden products in the small towns around (Michelin green star) . A family bistro restaurant with a gigantic wine cellar in a cute little village. . Otherwise Houdan is full of small bistros or also world cuisine (Indian, burgers, Chinese, kebab...) Really everything with regional products almost always. - Activities: . Chateau d’Anet de Diane de Poitiers 20 min. Truly exciting, very well preserved and maintained with a large garden where you may discover the secret of the eternal youth of the beautiful Diane! . visit the medieval town of Houdan and its beautiful Gothic church. . golf . Walk in the forest almost everywhere (Rambouillet is 2 steps away or also Dreux forest) . Chartres and its magnificent cathedral (one of the most famous and beautiful in France) 50 minutes away .

Pony or horse, for all levels in Bercheres, Houdan... .. butterfly greenhouse .. visit educational farms to see lots animals! - Shopping: Houdan benefits from a shopping center with a large Intermarché with very good local products but also a great fishmonger, Darty, Picard, animal shop, DIY...
