In Normandy, at the borders of the departments of Calvados and Manche, on the edge of the Cerisy State Forest and the mythical Château de Balleroy, Bayeux Sotheby’s International Realty presents for sale this magnificent former stone farmhouse from the 17th century.

Located in a lush forest setting, after taking a particularly bucolic path, you will immediately be charmed by the discovery of this exceptional estate forming a semi-enclosed courtyard and extending over a land area of 6100m², to which additional surfaces will be added from parcel divisions. The entire property offers a preserved panoramic view of the surrounding countryside, blending woods and meadows.

This former marquisate farm of Balleroy features architecture typical of the Norman Bocage, particularly its schist stone buildings; around this courtyard, you will find all the operational buildings with their specific uses (former stable of about 300m², stables with rooms above for staff, barns, cart sheds, dog kennels, pigsty, henhouse, former bakery, covered area, and shed).

With a living area of approximately 480m², the main dwelling, a wealthy farmer's house, has undergone a very high-quality renovation that preserves old materials while incorporating a modern ambiance with contemporary fittings and elements. Thus, you will appreciate, throughout the visit, the enhancement of each room, with particularly beautiful openings allowing natural light to flood in, making this home a warm place to enjoy pleasant moments of tranquility with family and/or friends.

The ground floor includes: a double-exposure entrance-office with a stone floor and a styled fireplace, a dining room (approximately 35m²) that opens onto a fitted kitchen, all enhanced by a French ceiling and a Fontenay stone floor, and includes a fireplace, also made of local stone; continuing on, you will be captivated by the magnificence of the reception room of about 100m² and its authentic features including stone walls, a lovely wooden floor, a monumental copper fireplace with a double hearth and spit, all made very bright by a large bay window opening onto a balcony with a direct view of the water feature; above this magical reception area, a vast games room in the mezzanine will allow you to enjoy pleasant relaxation times. Utility rooms complete this level (guest toilets, fitted and equipped back kitchen, boiler room, former dairy).

The upper levels are reserved for sleeping quarters and their sanitary facilities; thus, the first floor consists of four beautifully decorated bedrooms (paneling in one of them, wooden floor, beams and joists in one of these bedrooms, a fireplace with its trumeau for the one with paneling on the walls, terra cotta flooring in the fourth bedroom with a sink), a shower room with an Italian shower and toilets, and a full bathroom (bathtub, separate shower, double sink cabinet, and toilets), and an office complemented by a library completes the space; as for the second floor, slightly under the eaves, it offers a very nice parquet mezzanine distributing three bedrooms, a hallway with closets, a shower room, and independent toilets.

One of the outbuildings, closest to the main house, features a huge dormitory upstairs that is accessed from the owner's residence via an external walkway.

Upon entering the property, the first outbuilding on the right includes, among other things, a caretaker's house of approximately 98m² comprising four rooms, three of which are bedrooms upstairs.

The landscaped garden located at the back of the main house is adorned with terraces offering lovely views of the outdoor pool and the former bakery typical of the region; this outdoor space, with its harmonious floral and plant composition, constitutes a true elegant haven of peace in a natural environment preserved from any nuisance.

A rare and exceptional property for which you will undoubtedly fall in love.
