luxury house with reception room for sale Argentan, France

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.

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.
