Less than an hour from Paris and 15 minutes from Fontainebleau, in the heart of the Forêt domaniale, in the famous village of Barbizon, this elegant family home of approximately 210m2 is set in 4,079m2 of wooded, enclosed grounds.

Situated just a few streets from the centre of the charming village of Barbizon and next to the forest, this family home was built in 1936 and has been extended twice over the years.

Today it offers approximately 210 m2 of living space on three levels:

The raised ground floor comprises an entrance hall, a sitting room with fireplace and arched window, a dining room, a second cathedral lounge and the kitchen, which opens onto a west facing terrace overlooking the garden. A bedroom, bathroom and toilet complete this level.

On the first floor there are two bedrooms and an office.

The garden level, which is accessible from both inside and outside the house, comprises a summer kitchen/laundry room, a living room with an Alsatian stove, a bedroom and a shower room. This space would be ideal for accommodating a relative or for a self-employed activity. A basement, two garages and a carport complete the property.

The land, mainly to the rear of the house, is planted with various species of trees, including fruit trees. It is suitable for a swimming pool and building.

This property benefits from very good diagnostics thanks to the work carried out by the current owners: Roof renovated and insulated in 2011, heat pump heating installed in 2009, double-glazed windows, electricity renewed in 2021. Fibre optic installed.

In this famous village of character - Barbizon is one of the mythical sites of pre-impressionist painting in France - you'll find a gentle way of life and quality of life.

In the village: Nursery and primary school, shops, restaurants and art galleries. 50km from Paris and 10km from Fontainebleau.

Rare property in the area.

Situated on the edge of the Fontainebleau forest, the charming village of Barbizon was made famous by the 19th century landscape painters Théodore Rousseau, Jean-Baptiste Corot, Charles-François Daubigny and Jean-François Millet. Considered one of the precursors of Impressionism, the École de Barbizon ran from 1830 to 1875, a period during which artists came to appreciate the tranquillity of this peaceful village and the beauty of the surrounding countryside.

An emblematic site in Barbizon, the Auberge Ganne, where painters used to meet, now houses the Musée Départemental de l'École de Barbizon, where visitors can discover the life and work of the Barbizon artists of the 19th century.

Art lovers will also want to visit the studios of Théodore Rousseau and Jean-François Millet, two memorable places that also host temporary exhibitions.

A stroll along the village's main street reveals a succession of fine homes, boutiques, restaurants and art galleries.

Starting from Barbizon, on the edge of the forest, there's a signposted route that invites you to discover the landscapes that inspired the great landscape painters.
