Near Lardy in Essonne, a renovated country property set on more than eight acres has come to market with Emile Garcin for €1,390,000.

Less than an hour south of Paris, the property includes a renovated five-bedroom house with an indoor swimming pool, and just over eight acres of leafy grounds.

Located less than an hour south of Paris via the RN20, and only a few minutes from Lardy’s RER station, the property sits in a quieter stretch of southern Île-de-France. The area offers a more rural counterpoint to the capital’s better-known western suburbs, with village settings, wooded landscapes, and larger parcels of land still within practical reach of the city.

The main house spans approximately 320 m², or 3,444 ft², and has been completely renovated while retaining much of its traditional character. Interior details include terracotta and stone floors, parquet flooring, exposed beams, solid wood doors, local tiles, a stone staircase, and a large fireplace.

The ground floor is arranged around the main reception spaces, including an entrance hall, living room with fireplace, dining room, kitchen, guest toilet, and an indoor swimming pool measuring 10.5 by 5 metres, or approximately 34 by 16 feet. Upstairs, the house includes a primary suite with dressing room and bathroom, a study or library, four further bedrooms, a second bathroom, and a laundry room.

The indoor swimming pool measures 10.5 by 5 metres, or approximately 34 by 16 feet.

The grounds extend to 32,595 m², or approximately 3.26 hectares / 8.05 acres, and have been landscaped with a variety of tree species. The setting is described as peaceful and unspoilt, giving the property a notably private, leafy character within reach of Paris.

Additional spaces include a partial basement with a wine cellar, pool machinery, boiler room, and crawl space. There is also a former caretaker’s house to renovate, currently arranged with a living room and kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom.

For buyers looking beyond the region’s more familiar country-house markets, the appeal is direct: a renovated five-bedroom house, private grounds, an indoor swimming pool, and just over eight acres less than an hour from Paris.
