luxury house for sale Mortain, France

A restored, 19th-century manor, in the south of the Manche area, at the crossroads of three regions. A wrought iron gate in a tall stone wall opens from the street into the property, which boasts great architectural and landscaping coherence. The manor was built in the 19th century and stands in the middle of the grounds. Its sober silhouette is marked by an adroit mixture of Art Nouveau and Anglo-Norman styles. The property’s overall balance is reinforced by the immaculate and harmonious interior decorations and fittings. The three-storey façades made of rough-hewn blocks of granite are punctuated by slight protrusions and many tall, small-paned windows through which light streams into the interior. The steep sloping slate roof is dotted with tall stone chimney stacks. Set back from the manor house, the outbuildings avoid impinging on the property’s unity. The grounds are faithful to the original landscaping design and surround the residence with carefully mown lawns, winding paths and a variety of different trees. A vast meadow extends away from the property towards the surrounding countryside beyond the river. The residence was once home to the marine painter Marin-Marie, who was a solo yachtsman and a talented illustrator. He is famous for his daring transatlantic crossings on board the Arielle yacht and for his highly accurate maritime drawings.

In the south of Orne, on the edge of a small town, an old 19th-century convent sits on nearly 7 hectares of land. Close to the village, the property is set back from a small road, concealed by a tree-lined front garden. A winding path traverses this green screen and leads to the imposing main facade of the old convent, oriented southeast. Built of regular stone masonry, the building rises four levels, crowned with a central pediment. The whole presents a monastic regularity: vertical openings with stone frames, a slate two-pitched roof topped with a bell tower, chimney stacks, and roof windows. Two staircases precede the two entrance doors, the main one topped with a stone cross. It is centered on the facade and adorned with a semicircular arch that distinguishes it from the other rectangular openings of the building. At the back, a central wing at right angles is extended by the choir of the chapel, whose keel-shaped roof is covered with shingles, above a pointed arch opening. Several unique modules have been built on either side: a ground-level room with the reception floor and a turret with toilets on each level.

In the heart of a hilly and wooded countryside, and marked trails, an authentic and charming hamlet built with local stone is revealed. Set on nearly 12 hectares of meadows, this former agricultural property is organized around two main buildings facing each other, housing two dwellings. The equestrian facilities, particularly comprehensive, offer remarkable potential. Next to the house is a covered riding arena measuring 40 x 20 m, recently re-sanded, bathed in light and equipped with kickboards. Adjacent to the riding arena is a row of 22 stalls, as well as a feed room, a tack room, and a wash area. A large covered area also provides storage for hay and equipment. A wide stabilized platform facilitates the movement of machinery and trucks and provides access to pastures fenced with half-rail and wire fencing. Also, a location for a 70 x 30 m outdoor arena is planned. The farmhouse complex houses the main house, which is bright and welcoming.
