Villers-Cotterêts
An isolated farmhouse with approximately 1 600 m² of buildings and 8 hectares of land on the edge of the Retz forest . The property, on the edge of a wooded area, today comprises a manor house built in 1926, a servant's house and large farm buildings built around a vast enclosed courtyard, typical of the large rural farms in the Île-de-France region. Fields and woods stretch as far as the eye can see around the farm, in a peaceful, open setting. The farm buildings are solid and simple with their stone structures and flat-tiled roofs. Stables, barns, sheds and various outbuildings cover almost 2 000 m2 of floor space. The homogeneity of the materials and the rigour of the lines unify the site, despite the reconstruction that took place in the early 20th century. Further on, an additional building, on its own on the edge of the site, gives an idea of the original size of the farm. The site feels coherent, both in terms of proportions and in the choice of materials used.
