luxury listed houses for sale Calvados, France

In Normandy, 15 km from Bayeux, a 18th-century château listed as a historical monument, within a 60-hectare estate of land, woods, and groves. Before the entrance to the village of Vaubadon, hidden behind a dense hedge, an avenue lined with a triple row of lime trees, grassed on either side, stretches out in a slow perspective that introduces the estate. It leads to the wrought iron gate, at which lies the honor court, preceded by moats. Around it, various elements of the property are organized: the walled vegetable garden and the gardener's house, the pond, the tennis court, and then the outbuildings, established around a large central courtyard. At the back, the park, listed as a historical monument, unfolds its lines to a vast pond bordered by rhododendrons. This, more than a simple embellishment, marks a transition with the surrounding countryside, like a passage between a designed landscape and nature left to a freer expression. The regularity of the openings, the height of the roofs, and the clarity of the composition characterize the ensemble of buildings. The château features a façade exposed to the southeast, facing the courtyard, whose regular order and harmonious proportions certify its classical character. Raised over two levels under the roof and resting on a semi-buried ground floor, it is organized around a central structuring body, extended by volumes added in the 19th century. The slate roofs, punctuated by dormer windows and high chimney stacks, as well as four pavilions topped with higher roofs, rhythm the silhouette and establish the presence of the residence in the landscape. This clarity of composition, the alliance between symmetry, order, and decor, earned the château its listing as a historical monument in 2012.This description has been automatically translated from French.
