luxury house with terrace for sale Villers-Canivet, France

A 16th-century manor house and its wooded garden in the Suisse Normande region, 15 minutes from Falaise. Opposite the imposing 12th-century church of Saint-Martin, a wrought-iron gateway adorned with fine lance-point balusters and flanked by a Caen stone pillar topped by a gendarme opens onto a tree-lined driveway. A courtyard and terrace surround the manor house, which has an adjoining outbuilding on one side. On the opposite side, a gate leads to the back of the property and the garden planted with hundred-year old trees.

Ref 4910: Manor house suitable for events, for sale, 5 km from Falaise On the lands of William the Conqueror, two leagues from the ‘Swiss Normandy’ region, at the gateway to the Duchy of Normandy, an imposing manor farm has stood for nearly three centuries – the last remaining vestige of an exceptional estate, a victim of the ravages of history… But as you round a bend on a country road, history comes into view, concealed by a curtain of trees, inviting curiosity to explore a decidedly discreet entrance, behind which awaits a surprising building of stately proportions. Beautifully situated at the heart of a protected landscape harmoniously shaped by woodland and meadows, the property stands out as an obvious source of inspiration, offering a sense of well-being and freedom. Daily shopping needs are catered for locally, perfectly complemented by the town of Falaise, which, within cycling distance, offers all the services and shops necessary for everyday life. The road links are excellent and provide swift access to rail, motorway, air and sea transport networks. Designed for hosting events, yet with the potential for a wide range of activities, this property will fulfil even the most ambitious projects, supported by the natural richness of its enchanting setting, which is ready for immediate use. Such is Normandy… beautiful, mysterious, a place for a brief visit or a holiday… which often turns into a lifelong project. The property comprises a main house built of rendered stone over three storeys and topped with a hipped slate roof. Adjoining its north-eastern side is a series of outbuildings, one of which is set at right angles, evoking the atmosphere of a main courtyard. Unlike the manor house, these buildings are smaller in scale, and some are roofed with flat tiles. The ensemble is harmonious and balanced, displaying perfect symmetry, a legacy of the Age of Enlightenment. The south-east façade is enhanced by an H-shaped veranda projection, opening onto a spacious terrace leading to the grounds. Set slightly higher up is a luxurious swimming pool, elegantly integrated into the surroundings by a balustrade safety railing. A nearby stone building serves as a pool house (housing heat pumps). Set apart from the main complex, a beautiful stone barn with a tiled ‘cathedral’ roof houses a two-part storage area reserved for farm equipment. A row of small outbuildings follows on from this, revealing various agricultural sheds (chicken coop, woodshed, storeroom, etc.). At the southern end of the manor stands a small stone building with a tiled roof, resembling a sheepfold. A large car park (70 spaces), discreetly situated behind the main courtyard, provides easy access to the manor house and its outbuildings. Set apart from the estate, and perfectly situated for its surveillance role, a ‘stylish’ outbuilding – formerly the bakery of the original château – makes an ideal caretaker’s house, with its own separate and discreet entrances. The property as a whole has been perfectly restored for use as an events venue, yet its immense potential leaves the door open for even the most ambitious projects.

Wooded surroundings, close to a pond fed by a stream running along the edge of the park (‘Le Val’). The property is full of charm and perfectly functional. THE GROUNDS The property enjoys a commanding position over a single, unbroken 22-hectare (54-acre) park, free from easements and with no neighbours directly opposite. Meadows and woodland each occupy half the space, offering the eye sweeping views into the distance, all the way to the wooded edges. It is here that the more adventurous will marvel at an exceptional ice house, the size of which speaks volumes about the importance of the original estate. Roe deer and hares may occasionally give themselves away… Beautiful pastures, set apart from the lawns reserved for visitors, could easily accommodate a few horses; in their absence, these meadows serve as an additional car park. The old latrines have been preserved opposite the south gable. The swimming pool is the centre of attention, so much is it appreciated. Facing south-east at a reasonable distance from the reception areas, it was built in 2012 as much out of necessity as for pleasure. From a safety perspective, it provides a water supply that complies with current legal requirements for premises open to the public. It also offers a high-quality experience for guests. It features two pools, one of which is for children; the main pool measures 20 x 10 metres, with a depth ranging from 80 cm to over 2 metres. The entire facility is heated by two heat pumps (15 years old). It is surrounded by sturdy balustrades, and access is highly secure. A pool house is attached to it. The plot is situated within the boundaries of the protected natural areas of Lower Normandy.

Between Caen and Bayeux, seven kilometers from the sea, in one of the most preserved villages of Bessin, Normandie Privilège offers you an old flour mill bordered by the river.Set away from the main roadways, in a gently rolling landscape, this property is situated in a setting that water seems to have designed itself. The mill is revealed at the bend of a peaceful meander of the river, surrounded by its banks, its blonde stone walls, and its old outbuildings organized around an inner courtyard.The site is ancient. The presence of a mill in this location has been documented since the early 13th century. Rebuilt in the mid-19th century and then modernized a few decades later to keep up with the evolving milling techniques, it continued operations until the early 20th century before being converted into a residence in the 1970s. From this long industrial history remains a remarkably preserved ensemble, where the original architecture still dialogues with the landscape and the water that continues to flow along the facades.The main building, built with limestone rubble, presents the characteristic simplicity of the large rural constructions of the region. Under its slate and tile roofs, the volumes retain an unusual spaciousness. The façades, simply pierced with regular windows, give the place a presence that is both solid and discreet. On the river side, the gable of the mill seems literally perched above the current. On the courtyard side, the whole composes an elegant group of buildings surrounded by old dependencies.Inside, the house features approximately 440 m² of living space, spread over a dozen rooms, to which are added more than 230 m² of outbuildings and attics. Some rooms immediately impress with their proportions. The former machine room, now converted into a living room, offers nearly 60 m² under a ceiling height soaring to 5.6 meters. A second transverse living room of 49 m² extends this sense of space. Upstairs, a vast corner office of 43 m², bathed in light, retains the same generosity with ceilings of up to five meters.The dwelling has been organized into two distinct parts, sufficiently independent to accommodate a large family, two generations, or to combine primary residence and accommodation activity under one roof.The first part, approximately 207 m², includes on the ground floor an entrance hall, a transverse living room with a fireplace, a music room, a kitchen with a back kitchen. The first floor distributes four bedrooms and a bathroom, with access to the vast attics on the upper levels.The second part, approximately 233 m², offers on the ground floor a living room with a monumental fireplace, a game room, and a laundry room that can also become a kitchen. The upstairs features an office with remarkable volumes, a bedroom, and a bathroom, while the top level combines two additional bedrooms.The outbuildings naturally extend the character of the place. The former stables in a right angle alone represent more than 160 m² of ground area, complemented by a garage, wood shed, and a large room of approximately 150 m². A rare ensemble, whose uses can remain as they are or become artistic, professional, or familial depending on the projects.Outside, the property is organized around a walled courtyard, lawns, and banks bordering the river. To the south, a terrace and garden overlook the water flowing slowly beneath the trees. A stone staircase descends to the river, where one can swim on sunny days. The relationship with the water gives the place a unique atmosphere: peaceful, vibrant, almost timeless.An old mill from Bessin with unusual volumes, located between Caen, Bayeux, and the sea, in a particularly harmonious environment. A property of character whose history remains perceptible without ever overshadowing the gentleness of life it inspires.The price of this property is €835,000.

The ground floor opens onto a vast open space, the true heart of the house, arranged over three distinct levels: • a living room with three-sided fireplace, • a TV lounge set slightly below, • an American-style kitchen by Arthur Bonnet, in textured black marble, elevated by a few steps and completed with a hidden back kitchen set behind a rotunda decorated with a countryside-inspired fresco. Also on this level: a wellness area to be finished, a double garage with advanced security system (including smoke devices), and a designer marble restroom highlighted with floor LEDs.

The architecture is enhanced by a flat roof design, stone cladding from Burgundy, and luxurious Porcelanosa flooring in marble, quartz, slate or Swarovski crystal finishes.

A sumptuous house from the late 19th century with lush grounds, nestled 30 minutes from the English Channel in Normandy’s Calvados department. The property is just a stone’s throw from a 13th-century Gothic church. The road is lined with picturesque timer-framed dwellings and little farmhouses. A thuja hedge grows along a low brick wall with iron railings. At the right-hand end of it, a gate leads onto a shady driveway. From there, the drive lined with tall trees runs west, towards the house. The sumptuous dwelling was built at very end of the 19th century. It is an elegant home set in splendid grounds. Before, the building was known as a chateau, as were many houses built by the upper-middle classes in the period just before the First World War. Its elevations are rendered with a cream-coloured coating of local sand. The architectural embellishments are classical with stone capitals, garlands, exposed quoins and window surrounds that stand out in a pure white tone. The facade is more ornate than the garden-facing elevation. The house has a raised ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. A flight of front steps, edged with wrought-iron balustrades, leads up to the main entrance door. The facade has four windows on the ground floor – two on either side of the entrance door – and six windows on the first floor. And along the second floor, in the roof space, there are five elegant dormers. The rear elevation has two sets of ground-floor French windows that lead out to a large terrace, which you reach via a double set of steps. There are three other tall windows in the rear elevation on the ground floor and, above them, five windows on each upper floor. The house’s hipped mansard roof has slate tiles and is crowned with finials. Two imposing chimney stacks – one at each end – rise up from it. At the front, a gravelled drive marks the paths for walking and driving. Around this driveway, lush lawns draw your gaze to beautiful views of the grounds. The grounds form an English-style garden with majestic age-old trees dotted around the grand edifice. By the house’s entrance, neat yew hedges underline the ground-floor windows. At the back, there is a swimming pool. It lies parallel to the rear elevation. From a patio above the terrace, steps lead down to a paved poolside area that surrounds the swimming pool. Three palm trees tower around it. A gravelled path separates two extensive lawns that stretch to the edges of the property. Tall trees tower around the sides of the vast plot. There is an old greenhouse on the grounds too, as well as an outbuilding with a 150m² floor area. This outbuilding needs to be renovated. Beyond, there is a bucolic backdrop and the River Dives, which flows gently.

Réf. 4754 : Beautiful country house for sale near Argentan This elegant Norman residence is located at the northern edge of the Orne department, on the threshold of neighbouring Calvados, from which it is separated by only a few leagues. Set on the outskirts of a small market town of some 530 inhabitants, it enjoys a pleasant rural environment, punctuated by a tree-filled park partially bordered by water-filled moats. Everyday necessities are available within the village itself, which offers a local convenience store, while the towns of Falaise and Argentan, equidistant from the property, provide a wider range of shops and services. Road, motorway and rail links are all close at hand, allowing access to the capital in under three hours. A wealth of leisure activities—including hiking, climbing, canoeing, horse riding, fishing, golf and cycling along greenways—can be enjoyed throughout the remarkable sites of nearby “Norman Switzerland”. Human in scale yet offering multiple possibilities for extension limited only by the imagination, this property, rich in authenticity and understated elegance, lends itself equally well to private or professional projects, whether as a permanent residence or a country retreat. The property remains true to its origins, as evidenced by the sobriety and symmetry of its façades, which reflect an architectural quality worthy of the Grand Siècle. Built over three levels around a central entrance framed by two pilasters, and topped with a four-pitched tiled roof featuring an elegant pediment crowned with a finial, the main body reveals local stone construction coated with a striking and unusual “remarkable charcoal-rendered finish”. The openings are arranged in regular bays, of generous proportions, and fitted with shutters. The façades are perfectly symmetrical. It should be noted that the south-facing façade was most likely the original formal entrance, given the sculpted decorative elements adorning the doorway. Nevertheless, the ornamental garden is located on the north side, thus reversing the traditional layout. The main residence is flanked by two adjoining buildings of lesser height: one possibly intended as staff accommodation, the other originally dedicated to cider production. Offering an internal surface area of approximately 334 sqm, the main house is laid out as follows: Basement: A certain Bacchus would not have overlooked it: the basement is limited to a small wine cellar. Ground floor: A natural entrance on the north-east side, arranged in “double depth”, also allowing access from the south-west. North-East side: Entrance hall leading, on the right, to a small wood-panelled sitting room/library with a fine stone fireplace featuring an overmantel; generous ceiling height with exposed joists. On the left, access to a dining room with terracotta floor tiles, panelling, and a fireplace with an overmantel. South-West side: Entrance hall with a stone staircase. To the right, a kitchen with terracotta floor tiles, a monumental stone fireplace, and generous ceiling height with exposed joists. To the left, a large drawing room with tiled flooring in a cabochon style, a marble fireplace with overmantel, and painted wood panelling. Access to the upper floor is via an elegant stone staircase with wooden balustrades, leading to a landing and arrival area paved with terracotta tiles. The ceiling height on this level reaches an impressive 3.30 metres. First floor: A landing leads to four bedrooms of approximately 20 sqm each, with terracotta tiles or parquet flooring and exposed beams. Each features a stone fireplace with an overmantel. One of the bedrooms adjoins a storage room set beneath the eaves. There is a separate bathroom and WC on this level. One of the bedrooms provides a connection to the adjoining wing of the house via a staircase, leading to a half-landing and a small apartment comprising a bedroom, an ancillary room and a shower room with WC. Second floor: Accessible via a miller’s ladder, this level offers a vast convertible attic made up of three rooms of almost identical proportions, separated by load-bearing walls. Exposed roof trusses, insulated intermediate joists, existing electrical installation, and floors of cob or timber boarding complete this level, which offers significant potential for further development. Outbuildings : Adjoining the main residence, a small stone outbuilding under a tiled roof comprises, on the ground floor, a technical room of approximately 60 sq m housing the oil-fired boiler, the heat pump, electrical panels and the hot water cylinder. The upper floor has been converted into a self-contained apartment. 1/ A large barn of 112 sqm, featuring a “cathedral-style” roof structure, adjoins a former cider press measuring approximately 56 sqm. 2/ A row of three small stone outbuildings under tiled roofs, respectively used as: a fruit store (6 sqm), a byre (15 sqm), stables (22 sqm). 3/ A fine stone barn under a tiled roof, aligned with the main residence, currently used as a hangar (44 sqm) and garages (72 sqm). A miller’s staircase leads to a full-length attic above. The potential offered by the outbuildings is considerable, providing a wealth of possibilities likely to appeal to the most creative or ambitious projects. The welcoming main entrance, located to the North-East, is both understated and elegant, immediately revealing the harmony of an English-style landscaped park. From here, the eye is drawn in the distance to the fine proportions of this noble residence and its neighbouring outbuildings. No tree is left to the imagination, as all are present: sequoia, American red oak, maple, poplar, weeping beech, bald cypress, larch, lime, tulip tree, magnolia, liquidambar and pine, not to mention several fruit trees including walnut, plum and pear. The park features flower beds, bamboo, natural hedges and extends as far as the terraces of the house, attractively enhanced by hydrangeas. Beautiful water-filled moats, stone-lined and fed by natural springs, complete the setting, partially encircling the park. A charming former washhouse punctuates the natural course of the banks, also serving as an overflow outlet. Carp and eels share this aquatic haven. The South-facing façade is more restrained, structured around the outbuildings and remnants of old walls recalling the former presence of agricultural buildings that likely did not survive the ravages of war. It is worth noting the presence of what is now referred to as a “service” entrance, benefiting from a favourable right of way for the property. This entrance provides access to all the outbuildings. Set within a landholding of approximately 2.47 acres, the property offers the appeal of a verdant, open and charming landscape, while keeping maintenance requirements within a reasonable and manageable scope.

Réf.4545 : Near Argentan, a fine manor farm offering reception facilities and a table d’hôtes, for sale. In the winding roads of Suisse Normande, centuries have shaped an exceptional landscape dotted with remarkable residences, living witnesses to the ancient history of Normandy. From Argentan to the outskirts of Caen, Suisse Normande boasts an architectural and historical heritage that has been jealously preserved from the ravages of civilisation. As a result, numerous manor houses and châteaux have privatised protected natural areas, granting themselves undisturbed peace and serenity. This farmhouse-manor house is fully in keeping with this tradition of hospitality and conviviality, offering today an ideal setting for receiving guests, organising meals with locals and creating a characterful inn. An elegant outbuilding of the neighbouring castle, this dwelling displays all the characteristics of a fortified 'farm-manor house', whose numerous outbuildings mark the visceral attachment to the land that animated the lords who once lived here. The property benefits from a reassuring neighbourhood while retaining its much-appreciated privacy. Nature offers a breathtaking view free from any disturbances. Daily life is taken care of just a mile away (5 km), with the town of Argentan providing shopping, crafts, administrative and logistical services. Step into the authenticity of the Orne valleys, peaceful holiday destinations just two hours by train from the capital. Suisse Normande is a privileged corner of paradise... a secret that you should discover... and keep to yourself. The property has an imposing structure comprising 4 buildings arranged opposite each other to form a courtyard of honour. An arched porch joins two conical towers with archways. The buildings are large, built of stone with tiled roofs. The windows are of various sizes, in keeping with their respective functions. The defensive aspect is very marked, originally limiting openings to the outside. More recent alterations have made up for the risk of a lack of light. The property comprises a main building that has been converted into a dwelling, logistical outbuildings and areas reserved for animals. While the outbuilding directly adjoining the dwelling has retained its utilitarian character (garages, storeroom and attic), the building opposite has undergone a complete interior conversion (reception room, guest house, boiler room). The main dwelling, enriched by a terrace overlooking the horizon, exceptionally untouched by any nuisance, is a natural extension for outdoor lunches and dinners, in the heart of a listed site.

Rear access to a former one-car garage (4.40 x 3.20 m), converted into a workshop. 2.66 m high. Adjoining shed, accessed via an old paved fruit garden, with a second staircase leading down. Exterior exit via the gable.

A stone staircase leads outside to the first floor of the adjoining outbuilding. Straight 'meunier' staircase leading to 2 mezzanine bedrooms linked by a footbridge. Access 1 to a shower room and separate WC. Bedroom 1 with parquet flooring (18 sqm). Lounge/music room with parquet flooring (30 sqm). Exposed timbers.

The rear terrace is a good size, with stone paving, allowing access from either the living room or the kitchen. There is a separate storage room with an upper floor, served by a wooden staircase. Outbuildings ; 1/ OUTBUILDING 1: set back from the main dwelling, long building comprising on the ground floor a large room (61 sqm) with hexagonal floor tiles; exposed joists; exposed stone walls. 2.50 m high. There is an old walled-in door leading into the lounge of the dwelling, thus creating interesting potential for extension. The first floor comprises a vast attic (61 sqm) with a wooden floor. The basement is a good height for conversion. This attic can be accessed via an outside stone stairway. It could be converted into a study/library/summer lounge in the dwelling. A neutral area with no easements or overlooking features has been transferred to the neighbouring property by the previous owners. The same applies to the watchtower adjoining the garages. The interweaving of the outbuildings with the neighbouring manor house made this allocation possible, without detracting from the spirit of the whole, and without generating any disturbing cohabitation. This is followed by 2 garages with elegant arched openings. 2/ OUTBUILDING 2: Adjoining the entrance porch, a beautiful watchtower with archery, a perfect copy of its neighbour... watching out for approaching visitors! The adjoining building remains the property of the château and is used as a garage. 3/ OUTBUILDING 3: a long building located opposite outbuilding no. 1, which has been refurbished inside, as follows: A large reception room with parquet flooring, 133 m² in size, with an overall height of around 9 m, equipped with 2 podiums. This room was designed as an auditorium and is used for numerous musical gatherings. Whitewashed walls. A small kitchen is attached. At the rear is the wood silo for the boiler. Garage for 1 car (concrete slab), with a small stairway leading to an attic. Boiler room to follow: wood chip boiler. There is an old De Dietrich boiler (out of order) and a plastic oil tank.

The property has retained its authenticity and benefits from a mixed view, thanks to its 'lantern' windows. The 4.94 acres plot is divided between a main courtyard and grasslands planted with a variety of fruit trees (apple, pear, mirabelle, plum, cherry and apricot). A vegetable garden is a reminder of the self-sufficient life of these manor farms... A beautiful pond of around 200 m² completes the setting, allowing a few wild ducks to nest peacefully in the shade of the protective ash trees. The surrounds are walled, and it is highly likely that the bottom is also paved. The grassland allow a few donkeys and horses to enjoy the generous anf abundant grass. A 9 x 3m wooden shelter provides shelter if needed, and stores essential hay. A kennel for dogs and chickens.... Good neighbourly relations could lead to additional adjoining grassland being made available. The immediate surroundings are flat, allowing the eye to wander over the wooded hills of the Orne valley, where civilisation has been forgotten, leaving the land to a rich and wild fauna. A characterful manor farm steeped in history, offering generous volumes, authenticity and an exceptional natural setting, ideally suited to a project as an inn, table d’hôtes or reception venue centred around dining, in the spirit of a warm and genuine welcome in a private home.

Ref 4908: Beautiful country house and outbuildings for sale, 13 km from Caen In the heart of the Bessin region, about fifteen minutes from Caen and the coast, the property forms part of the former estate of a château, of which it was once the manor house. The main avenue, now a public road, still runs alongside the property and serves as a reminder of the layout of this former seigneury. Shops, amenities and the main transport links are just a few minutes away. The property is laid out around a vast main courtyard, with an old caretaker’s house marking the entrance. The main residence, the outbuildings and the ancillary buildings form a highly cohesive ensemble, the layout of which echoes the original organisation of the former seigneurial estate. Built of limestone, the main residence has a classical layout, probably resulting from alterations carried out in the 17th and 18th centuries. The main façade features a slightly projecting central projection, surmounted by a triangular pediment, whilst the regularly arranged windows and their cut-stone frames reflect a quest for balance and simplicity characteristic of the architecture of noble residences in the Bessin region. The outbuildings, arranged in a L-shape, bear witness to the importance of the former estate. Constructed with remarkable consistency in their choice of materials, they form a harmonious whole with the main residence, a composition particularly representative of seigneurial architecture. The property offers approximately 533 sqm of living space, divided between the main residence and a self-contained flat in the L-shaped outbuilding. The property comprises around twenty rooms, including fourteen bedrooms served by seven bathrooms or shower rooms. Several staircases ensure a particularly smooth flow between the different areas and allow, if required, for certain parts of the property to be used independently. The interior layout has retained the organisational principles of grand historic residences. Numerous original features bear witness to this preserved authenticity: original flagstone flooring, stone fireplaces – several of which are still in working order – and a remarkable stone staircase, which is one of the house’s key features. The main living area is organised around a spacious, through-hall leading to the main reception rooms. On one side is a double sitting room with a fireplace, extending into a study and library. On the other side are a dining room, also featuring a fireplace, the kitchen and its service areas, including a secondary entrance, a pantry and a wine cellar. The first floor houses the main apartments. Three master bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, are situated alongside three further bedrooms arranged around the corridors. The second floor, which is a loft conversion, is accessed via two separate staircases. The main staircase leads to a small sitting room, three bedrooms and a bathroom, whilst a second staircase leads to a separate bedroom with its own bathroom. The self-contained accommodation occupies the top two floors of the L-shaped outbuilding. Connected to the main house via the first floor whilst retaining its own independence, it comprises a living room with an open-plan kitchen, a billiards room, four bedrooms, two shower rooms and a spacious attic. The property retains a number of significant outbuildings that bear witness to the estate’s original layout. 1/ The outbuildings At right angles to the main courtyard stands a large stone outbuilding. The ground floor is opened up by an elegant basket-handle arch, whilst the first floor features a dovecote. Today, in addition to the self-contained flat it houses, the building is used for covered parking and storage areas. 2/ The caretaker’s house At the entrance to the main courtyard stands the former caretaker’s house, which marks the entrance to the property. Built over two storeys, it offers approximately 58 sqm of living space, comprising, on the ground floor, a living room and a kitchen, and upstairs, two bedrooms and a shower room. It has a private garden and is currently let under a residential tenancy agreement. The main courtyard, paved with gravel, is accessible via two entrances: the first follows the estate’s former avenue, whilst the second passes through a stone gateway leading onto a more discreet path. A rose garden adorns the upper part of the garden, and the regularly maintained boundary walls help to preserve the property’s historic character. At the rear, the grounds extend across a terrace that rises slightly above the buildings. Featuring a symmetrical layout, it is bounded by retaining walls that curve outwards in a semicircle. In the distance, at the far end of the plot, stands an elegant portico of Tuscan columns carved from stone, originally part of the château. The registered area is 7,540 sqm.
