House for sale in Bessancourt

Ecological architecture icon

CO-EXCLUSIVE - Built in 2009 by the Karawitz agency, this contemporary house is a bioclimatic, positive-energy development whose high environmental quality was recognised by a visit from the French Minister for Housing in 2013, as well as by extensive national and international media coverage. Set in 600 m² of wooded grounds on the edge of a forest, the house offers 160 m² of living space over two levels, with a lovely view of the village's medieval church, a listed historic monument. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, a vast living room opening on to the garden and comprising a lounge, a dining room and a fitted kitchen, a utility room and a guest toilet. The first floor includes a superb cathedral ceiling study, three bedrooms, each with its own mezzanine, a bathroom and a shower room. Its generous opening onto the garden and its wood-clad walls create a soft, warm atmosphere, in close contact with nature. Recent plans include the creation of a 3-storey workshop of around 65 m², as well as an ecological swimming pool in the garden. The house was renovated in 2017 by the current owner. It now has a new, sustainable skin made of French chestnut strips, in keeping with its immediate surroundings: the largest chestnut forest in the Paris region. It benefits from an unspoilt location, with no overlooking and set back from the public space. It is accessed on one side by a pedestrian cul-de-sac planted with maple trees and on the other by a driveway planted with trees and shrubs. The house is located in a quiet, leafy area in the centre of the town of Bessancourt in the Val d'Oise department, just 6 km from Auvers-sur-Oise and its artistic heritage. Paris is easily and quickly accessible via the A115, or by direct train from Gare du Nord in 35 minutes (line H). Situated between the Montmorency national forest and the Maubuisson forest, the largest forest planted in France since the 17th century and of which Bessancourt is the 2nd largest contributor, the house benefits from a preserved and ecologically committed environment. The current development of a one-hectare public landscaped park around the church and town hall, just a 1-minute walk away, is part of this approach to preserving the landscape and green spaces.
