luxury farmhouse for sale Marolles-les-Braults, France

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.

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.
