- The property features three distinct dwellings within a two-hectare estate that also includes a pool and tennis facilities, all enclosed by trees and walls to maintain privacy.
- The asking price was 4.6 million euros, and the villa sold just above that for 4.7 million euros, with notary Arno Felber stating renovation costs neared the asking price.
- The sale marks the end of the property’s upkeep by a real estate company that bought it in 2023 after Lagerfeld's death and highlights the designer's strong personal connection to the home.

The villa was sold only 50,000 euros above the estimated price. The property, located about 20 kilometers west of Paris, has about 600 square meters of living space, a park with pool, a tennis court and several outbuildings.
