A renovated stone house of character, offering 180 m² (1,938 sq ft) of living space on an 850 m² (9,149 sq ft) plot in a green, quiet and sought-after setting. The property has 7 rooms and 4 bedrooms, a landscaped garden, a terrace totalling 28 m² (301 sq ft) and four parking spaces. It is in well-maintained condition and is not visible from the street, which gives it a discreet, private feel. Heating is individual, by mains gas.
LAYOUT: FOUR SELF-CONTAINED UNITS
The house is currently arranged as three suites of 50 m² (538 sq ft) each and an independent studio of 25 m² (269 sq ft), with four shower rooms and one bathroom in total.

THE RENTAL BUSINESS
The house already generates income as a short-term rental. It has operated since 2013 under its own name and website, escalebelair.com (in French and English), with Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn pages. Guests are leisure travellers (golf, cycling, the Chevreuse Valley) and business visitors (seminars in Courtabœuf, Saclay and Massy), booking by the night, week or month.
Published rates run from €129 to €249 per night depending on the unit and the number of guests, and from €754 to €1,323 per week. The operating history is available on request. The sale includes the walls and the business: name, website, furniture and equipment.
IDEAL FOR
Buyers looking for an investment that already earns income. A family wanting a home with revenue alongside it. A multi-generational project with separate living spaces. A buyer who wants to live on site and keep the rental activity running, or who needs space for a professional activity or remote work.
