luxury houses for sale Lonlay-l'Abbaye, France

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. Set back to the northeast, the former presbytery is more modest. It has two levels and is currently under renovation, hinting at a careful restoration that respects its traditional architecture. Nearby, a stone washhouse is against an old wall. The site also includes several outbuildings, such as a small guardhouse pavilion, a workshop topped with a large terrace, and a chicken coop. At the back of the buildings lies a vast estate of nearly 6.5 hectares comprised of meadows, orchards, enclosures, groves, hedgerows, and cultivated fields. A stream crosses the property amidst the meadows.This description has been automatically translated from French.

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. 4434: Authentic 15th C. Lordly Dwelling for sale in Normandy. The property is located in the heart of Basse-Normandie, in the west of the Orne department, in the hedged farmland known as 'Pays d'Houlme'. Although the borders of this region are unclear, it stretches from the 'Suisse Normande' in the North to the edges of the Andaines forest in the South, from East to West, in the centre of an axis between FLERS and ARGENTAN, of which BRIOUZE is the local capital. It is in the countryside, close to but preserved from civilisation, that you should look for this discreet and reassuring house, well established in the heart of its landscaped setting. With its reasonable size and numerous outbuildings, this property is perfectly suited to the most diverse projects to meet the requirements of a main, secondary or professional residence. LE PAYS DU HOULME: A granitic land historically marked by the Viking invasions, the 'Houlme' can be defined as a green bocage criss-crossed with sunken paths, rich in manor houses and half-timbered houses set on the banks of ponds and rivers; apple and pear trees, a tourist country if ever there was one .... a true hymn to the countryside. The jewel in the crown of the Houlme, located a few leagues from the house, is the Grand Hazé, considered to be the largest marsh in the Orne. It covers almost 200 hectares and is a sensitive natural area classified as Natura 2000, a natural heritage of extraordinary richness (fauna and flora). Walking trails and an observatory allow you to appreciate, among other things, one of the most renowned bird breeding sites. Hikers can also reach the spa town of Bagnoles de l'Orne by the 'voie verte', accessible from Briouze. BRIOUZE: Small dynamic town with the appearance of the capital of the 'Houlme' where all the commercial, craft and cultural activities are concentrated (supermarket, doctors, pharmacy, retirement home, 2 nursery schools, 2 secondary schools, 2 primary schools, all shops). This property dates from the end of the 15th and beginning of the 16th century and would have been inhabited by one of the many lords of the Barony of Sées. It is likely that a farm was attached to it, as evidenced by the current existence of small scattered farms. The current owners acquired it in 2003 and began a systematic restoration campaign, obsessively guided by the conservation of the existing heritage. In 2005, they were awarded the 'Fondation du Patrimoine' label in recognition of their efforts and the architectural quality of the building. This label is awarded in close collaboration with the architect of the buildings of France and provides some advantages (financial aid and tax exemption). New, more 'seaworthy' life projects now await the owners .... The dwelling is of great sobriety, built of granite over 3 stories under a slate roof decorated with 2 beautiful chimneys. The openings are very asymmetrical in size and position, probably installed for defensive purposes, as evidenced by the bars that have been preserved. A beautiful stone staircase adorns the north facade and provides access to the room with the best view... and defence in case of attack. This deceptively large dwelling has a living area of approx. 300 sqm, distributed as follows: The ground floor: central north and south entrances opening on to a large living room with a monumental fireplace (39 sqm), terracotta tiles and joists, lime/hemp walls.

The immediate surroundings of the dwelling are full of flowers, interspersed with lively hedges and various shrubs that create a lively atmosphere in response to the rigour of the granite facades. A well-kept vegetable garden is next to a pretty frog pond....pavée. There is a second well. Pear trees, apple trees, cherry trees, mirabelle trees, plum trees and vines complete the decor and make these 7,41 acres a restful place where the eye is constantly immersed in a natural world, which is very Norman. An opportunity to acquire only 4.94 acres.

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.
