luxury farmhouse for sale Fresnay-sur-Sarthe, France

A renovated 19th century farmhouse, wooded garden and meadow in the ancient Houlme region, near Domfront and Flers. A 10-minute walk from the hamlet of Val-Michel with its traditional cob and wood or granite houses, a small, quiet, winding road leads to the entrance to the old farmhouse. A fence with two round wooden rails has a plain gate, which opens onto a courtyard and its lime tree. A green hedge planted with a variety of species follows the shape of the hilly area surrounding the garden. Inside the courtyard are the house and an old cowshed, which faces a barn and an old stable.

In Orne, 20 minutes from Alençon and 35 minutes from Mortagne-au-Perche, in a peaceful and bucolic setting, Normandie Privilège offers a master house from the 18th century along with its outbuildings, all in perfect condition. The property extends over 3775 m2, partly enclosed by walls, with the remainder fully fenced. Access is via a small country road where a gate opens onto the courtyard framed by the various buildings. The main house is flanked by a guest house. Perpendicularly to the left, two large barns stand; to the right, the former bread oven, a loft, and a cart shed. Carefully renovated while preserving period elements, the master house offers nearly 140 m2 of living space over two levels. The terracotta tiles, stone fireplaces, old doors, and aged sanded beams give a lot of charm to the dwelling. The layout is as follows: on the ground floor, the entrance distributes two traversing rooms of 33 m2 each, one being a kitchen-dining room on one side and a living room on the other. This level is completed by a laundry room. On the first floor, there is a bathroom, a mezzanine office, a master bedroom with a sink and an English bathtub, and two additional bedrooms. Decorated in the same spirit, the guest house adds 34 m2 of additional living space. It includes a living room with a fireplace, characterized by its significant ceiling height, as well as a bathroom and a mezzanine bedroom. Both the master house and the guest house open at the back onto a walled garden, very intimate and embellished with a gravel courtyard, outbuildings, a vegetable garden, and a lawn with a well. The guest house also has its own private garden, similarly walled and adorned with a fountain. Thanks to its outbuildings, this farmstead, with its preserved authenticity, can adapt to many projects, especially as it is easily accessible. A train station located 5 kilometers away allows one to reach Paris-Montparnasse in 1 hour and 50 minutes and Granville in 1 hour and 20 minutes. The agglomeration of Caen is 50 minutes away by car. --- The price of this property is €598,000. Agency fees are the responsibility of the seller.
