Editor's note: Luxury real estate broker KC Martin presents the first of a three-part series on country residences outside of Paris, France.

Our desire to escape from larger metropolitan cities during the coronavirus pandemic to smaller local communities is inspiring an increasing need for us to get out and “just breathe”. Hence, with lockdowns becoming the new normal, getting away for a respite from Paris is no exception. Driving 45 minutes to 2 hours away from a big city brings us a literal breath of fresh air, both physically and mentally. The era of having a “country residence” once a mainstay of bygone days is now once again cherished. Our desire to slow things down and to appreciate the simple things in life with our friends and family, away from city life, is driving this renewed global trend for country residences. For weekend and holiday/summer getaways, owning a country residence allows us to embrace the ultimate sense of joy, optimism, freedom, and inner peace, not to mention adding some diversity to one’s financial portfolio in these turbulent times.

In my three-part series this week, we will look at three gracious French country residences only an hour or so drive from Paris, our favorite “City of Lights”.

So, how about a castle to start? For those dreaming of something a little bigger and more extravagant than a simple country residence, this exquisite fully-remodeled and divinely pristine castle in Champeaux, France, is the perfect country dream residence. The castle is a mere 45km (approx 28 miles) southeast of Paris, a picturesque drive of about 50 minutes, and only a few minutes from the famous castle of Vaux le Vicomte, situated in a serene setting of 70 hectares (approx 173 acres) of which 18 hectares (approx 45 acres) is a landscaped park, one of the first parks created in France, with 3 lakes that form an island. This fully-remodeled, significantly historic castle is approx 1800sqm (approx 19,375 sqft) and features 10 bedrooms and 7 full baths along with an entrance gallery, 4 reception rooms with all of the original wood-paneling entirely preserved, gorgeous painted ceiling frescos and a caretakers’ accommodation. Your dream castle awaits less than an hour’s drive from Paris! Offered at $17,346,460 EUR / $20,355,000 USD. Castle - 77950 France Sotheby’s Property ID# 8JZJEM, MLS#PO5-275.
