A house and farm complex dating back to the seventeenth century to be renovated on grounds covering almost seventeen hectares on France's Cotentin peninsula, near beaches. A private lane runs from a secondary road through the property’s grounds to the old farm complex and country house. A track goes along the house’s rear face and leads to a large outbuilding. This track ends up in a courtyard on a gentle slope that is edged with a second large outbuilding on one side and a guesthouse on the other. Grassy areas, groves and fields surround the buildings.

South of the Normandy-Maine Regional Park, a 15th century feudal manor house, its outbuildings and its pond. Access to the property is via a driveway framed by an orchard and a vegetable plot. Old outbuildings face each other on either side. The residence stands at the back of the courtyard. Meadows planted with hedges enclose the buildings. They protect them from the wind and provide shelter from prying eyes. The complex offers views over the surrounding countryside, from the pastures to the cultivated fields. Two ponds receive water from a stream that flows into the Sarthe, a few meadows away. The origins of the site date back to the eleventh century. In the 14th century, this was one of the largest feudal manors in the area. During the French Revolution, it lost its influence. Built around 1450 by the Saint-Berthevin family, the cellar and the central part of the present building, with its monumental fireplace, bear witness to this feudal past. However, the defensive towers once abutting this feudal building have not survived. In the 18th century, the parish registers mentioned the old pond and the fishing rights for the farm.

A late 17th century house renovated with quality and authenticity in undulating Breton countryside between Rennes and Saint-Malo. Set away from the main road, access to the property is via a lane that goes to other houses and then runs into the countryside, only used by farm machinery or walkers. The farmhouse is set in the centre of the property. In the southern part there is a gravelled courtyard and a garden planted with some shrubbery. To the north there is a garden planted with various tree species, including fruit trees. An old timber-framed, tin-covered shed backs onto the house’s northern facade. Built towards the end of the 17th century, it is made up of a former farmhouse with 'combined functions', which once housed a stable and a dwelling. The exterior is built of granite rubble, and the window surrounds are made of cut stone. The slate roof has a straight hipped roof with eaves at the bottom. Roof windows let light into the attic space, providing views over the surrounding countryside where the neighbouring village is situated. Finally, a lean-to to the east, integrated into the house, serves as a boiler room. Its western counterpart is used as a garage and a shed. Both are built and roofed in the same way as the main dwelling.
