Domaine d'Esclimont — An Architectural Gem to Reimagine

Detailed 50-page file available on request.

Just 60 kilometres and about an hour from Paris, the Domaine d'Esclimont is in a privileged geographical location between Chartres, Rambouillet and Maintenon in the heart of the Île-de-France region.

An architectural gem nestled in about 60 hectares, the Château d'Esclimont was built in the 16th century, remodelled in the 18th century, and enhanced a century later in a pure Renaissance style by renowned architect Henri Parent.

Including two wings set at right-angles and surrounded by moats fed by a river, the three-storey main building boasts magnificent reception rooms with remarkable period panelling bearing witness to the chateau’s rich historical past.

Set in magnificent grounds with a French Formal Garden, the estate also includes a 14th-century square keep, a former guardhouse featuring a machicolated walkway and four corner turrets, a pavilion dating from 1870, as well as numerous annexes and outbuildings.

Moats, ornamental ponds and natural water features lend to Esclimont an almost ethereal beauty and atmosphere unique to the Île-de-France region’s finest estates. Here, nature is more than a backdrop, it is a masterpiece in its own right highlighting the majesty of the ensemble.

Exceptional Potential for a landmark Hospitality Project
The Domaine d’Esclimont benefits from an approved planning permit allowing for the creation of an exceptional near 5700 sqm hotel development.

The approved programme includes:
50 rooms and suites in the château and its elegant outbuildings
27 further suites spread across the ensemble
A SPA/well-being complex with both indoor and outdoor swimming pools
Technical and maintenance annexes

From suites in the medieval keep to character apartments in both the restored outbuildings and the Château itself, every space mirrors the unique French art de vivre, deeply rooted in history yet resolutely oriented toward contemporary excellence.
