L'Isle-Adam

L'Isle-Adam — Exceptional 365 m² mansion with 3,500 m² grounds
Situated in the heart of L'Isle-Adam, widely regarded as one of France's most pleasant towns, this exceptional character property dating from 1850 occupies a prestigious island position on the banks of the River Oise, under an hour by direct train from Paris Gare du Nord.
A little history
The house stands on the Île de la Cohue, the smallest of the three islands of the Oise, alongside the Île du Prieuré and the Île de la Dérivation. Its name recalls the crowds who gathered to attend festivities on its banks under the Ancien Régime. The property was originally the bridgemaster's house, belonging to the leaders of the Compagnons de l'Arche, who were responsible for hauling vessels through this particularly challenging stretch of the river. Immediately adjacent stands the Pont Cabouillet, a listed historical monument dating from the sixteenth century.
Fully restored to the highest standard, this luminous 12-room property offers 365 m² of living space across three floors, set within 3,500 m² of private grounds, with an outbuilding, an independent garage and direct access to the river.
