luxury house with terrace for sale Bagnoles de l'Orne Normandie, France

An 18th-century former hamlet and its breath-taking garden of more than one hectare, on the outskirts of Bagnoles-de-l’Orne, in Normandy’s Orne department. This former hamlet, refurbished and combined into one single property, is accessible via a dirt lane bordered by an apple orchard, while the buildings themselves are organised around an asymmetrical courtyard and include a large main dwelling, composed of several different, seamlessly connected volumes, a second, smaller dwelling, which could be used as a holiday cottage or a guesthouse, a bakehouse and a former pigsty. Facing east-west, the two-storey main dwelling features a pointed stone exterior on its courtyard side, which is, in turn, cadenced by wood-framed windows as well as dormers on its red tile roof. Behind, on the house’s western side, glass double doors open on to a patio festooned with a grapevine as well as a garden planted with trees, providing unobstructed views overlooking a stream, the latter of which is traversable via a small bridge and winds its way through the garden, flowing over small waterfalls and irrigating aquatic vegetation, such as horsetails and reeds. To the north of the courtyard, the bakehouse and pigsty, today converted into annexes with more practical uses, have preserved their original charm with their stone walls and tile roofs, while the independent holiday cottage, facing south, features a lintel etched with the year 1778 and is accessible from one side via a flight of steps blanketed with nasturtiums. Built out of stone, its exteriors, punctuated by windows providing plunging views of the property, are also topped with a flat tile roof. Carpeted with meadows, woods and a meticulously maintained garden, planted with mature trees and flowerbeds, the property also includes a small artificial pond located towards the southern part of the grounds.

Ref 4701: 1905 Manor house with outbuilding and garden for sale in Normandy. At the gateway to the Flers countryside, Norman Switzerland and the Houlme region, this small town of 2,500 inhabitants proudly displays its conservative ambitions as a rural community, while still offering a respectable range of economic and commercial opportunities. Benefiting from a resolutely natural environment, adjacent to the Normandy/Maine Regional Park, this medium-sized town has managed to preserve, thanks to its strong local dynamism, a spirit of conviviality and a certain ‘savoir-vivre’ that brings peace and serenity.

It takes just a few minutes to reach the towns of Flers, Condé and Briouze, a few miles away, offering all the essential amenities and services (including an SNCF railway station). Benefiting from its privileged proximity to the renowned ‘Suisse Normande’ region, there is no shortage of outdoor activities (hiking, fishing, hunting, climbing, rock climbing, paragliding), communal woods or national forests, lakes and ponds... so many inspiring assets, whether as a main residence or simply a holiday home. Historically known for having hosted the patients of a renowned doctor for many years, this manor house now has the potential to offer a professional, craftsman or artist a place suited to the demands and vicissitudes of their professions... while others will refine their plans for guest rooms here.
