luxury house with terrace for sale Le Pin-au-Haras, France

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. With an interior surface area of around 280 sqm, the dwelling is distributed as follows: Ground floor: Tiled central entrance hall on the south side (9.45 sqm) giving access on the left to a vast paved lounge (64 sqm) with a dining area. Monumental contemporary fireplace. Exposed joists. (Ceiling height (HSP) 2.44 m) large bay windows opening onto the terrace, enhanced by a 'cathedral' space giving it a 'loft' feel. Rear access via a hallway leading to the tiled kitchen. Laundry room and WC set back. Kitchen with dining area (46 sqm), fitted under the sloping ceiling. Tiled floor. External exit. 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. First floor: comfortable wooden 'meunier' stairway giving access to a vast 'cathedral' landing room with parquet flooring (57 sqm), with multiple uses (library/study/summer lounge). 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. Passageway 2 leads to a bathroom and separate WC. Bedroom 2 with parquet flooring (22 sqm). Exposed stone walls.

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. Electric hot water tank. WC. 4/ THE GUEST HOUSE: converted in 1994 from what was probably staff accommodation, it has undergone a complete and meticulous renovation to accommodate friends or passing guests.

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.

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.
