The Colimaçon Manor, built in 1919 on the site of a former agricultural structure, bears witness to the region's rich rural past. The adjacent farmhouse is now the last vestige of this past, contrasting with the majestic aura of the manor.
Located in the heart of the countryside south of Melun (77), near a farm and a forest, the manor stands proudly along the TGV Sud-Est line. According to local rumours, it is now owned by an Iranian businessman who has been living in the United States since the 1970s.
The impressively large mansion contains no fewer than 26 rooms, including at least 4 bathrooms, 2 powder rooms and potentially a sauna on the top floor. In addition, a significant number of rooms remain unidentified, adding to its mystery and charm.
Built in an Art Nouveau style, the Colimaçon manor strikes with its singular shapes that evoke the atmosphere of horror films. The red bricks, the multiple slate roofs and the awnings give the whole a remarkable Gothic look, creating a certain change of scenery for any visitor.
In bygone times the manor also included a water tower, now gone but leaving behind a trace of its former grandeur.
