Some properties come with a view. This one comes with a kingdom.

Château de la Bretèche isn't just near Versailles—it exists within the Grand Parc itself, the only privately owned estate inside these hallowed grounds. Built in the 18th century as a royal hunting retreat for the Count of Toulouse, son of Louis XIV, this is where French aristocracy escaped to breathe. Centuries later, it still does exactly that.

Twelve miles from Paris, yet worlds away. The estate unfolds across 45 private acres of parkland, ponds, and possibility. The main château offers 14 bedrooms and reception rooms scaled for entertaining royalty—because historically, that's precisely what happened here. Two additional residences and a guard house dot the grounds, joined by a pool, tennis court, and yes, a private nightclub, because even châteaux evolve.

The location tells its own story. Adjacent to Golf de Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche, minutes from Versailles, close enough to Paris for when the city calls. But here, surrounded by ancient trees and French gardens, time moves differently. This is countryside living with a royal pedigree and modern accessibility—a combination that simply doesn't exist anywhere else.

Ownership here isn't just acquiring extraordinary real estate. It's inheriting a piece of French history that generations of dignitaries could only visit. Now it can be home.
