luxury bastide for sale High-Normandy, France

Engel & Völkers presents, very close to Étretat, a magnificent Norman thatched cottage set on 2.2 hectares of land. Built at the end of the 19th century by the Fécamp architect Émile Mauge, also the designer of the Manoir de la Salamandre, it was conceived in the 19th century as an annex to the hotels of Étretat. Reclaimed period materials from manors in Lower Normandy (Lisieux) give it a unique, authentic charm. The house offers a vast living room with remarkable architecture, ideal for hosting receptions, concerts or private performances, as well as four very large bedrooms. An additional area, originally intended for staff, has been redesigned as offices and bedrooms, offering many layout possibilities. The cottage benefits from a crawl space, ensuring a complete absence of damp—an advantage that is rare for this type of property. Outside, the thatched roof was redone recently (2023 and 2025), ensuring the building's longevity. The former farm on the site now serves as a garage and an independent annex, while a charming workshop at the end of the garden—formerly the bread oven—completes the property. Please note the presence of a tennis court in need of refreshing, but still in use. A rare property, ideal for lovers of history, nature and authenticity, just a stone's throw from Étretat and the Alabaster Coast. An exceptional property awarded the Fondation du Patrimoine label in 2024.
