A wild world accessible at the gates of this charming property. Saint Pierre-du-Regard has a very ancient origin. It is mentioned in the charter of the Abbey of Lonlay in 1026. The commune was divided into 6 fiefs, the largest of which belonged to the Lords of SamoI. In the 13th century, mention is made of 'grand and petit Samoi'. Arriving at the village of 'grand Samoi', you can see a 17th-century castle, converted into a farm. This castle was split in two after a family quarrel. At first, it was a half-fiefdom, the seat of high justice, before becoming a barony: 'Famille de Samoi'. Originally, the castle was flanked by three cannon-armed towers. These towers were partly demolished by the two heir brothers. Today, one tower and part of the pond remain. At the time of the French Revolution, unlike neighboring communes that had rallied to the Republic, Saint-Pierre du regard remained loyal to the Royalists. On several occasions, the château du 'grand Samoi' was the venue for meetings of Chouannerie leaders.... In 2016, a British couple fell in love with the site, acquired it and restored it in its entirety. From then on, they lived in it and brought it back to life, without neglecting its surroundings, which were, to say the least, abandoned. The property features a 3-storey main building covered by a slate roof with 2 pointed slopes. A tower with a harmonized ridge links the main building with a slightly recessed structure, completing the perfect balance of the whole. The building is built of limestone rubble, with lime pointing. Beautiful 'lantern' windows provide plenty of interior light. The tower has retained some of its loopholes, testifying to the defensive status of the former château. With around 150 sqm of living space, the property is distributed as follows: *First floor: Central entrance opening onto a vast kitchen/dining room (37sqm) - tiled floor - exposed joists. - monumental granite fireplace.

Ref 4246: Pretty property for sale in a quiet place in Normandy. This elegant 'fortified house' is located in the heart of Normandy, just outside Caen, in the north of the famous natural region known as 'Suisse Normande'. Highly perched in a dominant and defensive position, overlooking the Orne valley, this former feudal stronghold boasts an exceptional environment, where charm, tranquillity and space make these authentic places magical ... and from another time. As for civilisation, it's less than a league away, offering all the services and shops you need for family life.Caen is less than half an hour away. Thanks to its renovation, this property has become a perfect main, second or holiday home. The property comprises a main dwelling, an annexe with a tower and a watch tower. The main building is a noble, sober construction of jointed schist stone, topped with a 4-slope studded slate roof. The building comprises 3 stories, 2 of which are converted. The facades are enlivened by arched doors and windows, and a few small openings are a reminder of the building's defensive role. The perfect proportions provide approx. 206 sqm of living space, not including a first floor that could be converted for the most part (approx. 80 sqm ). The property is laid out as follows 1°) Ground floor: -Entrance on the north side via a covered passageway giving access to the house and garage. - Kitchen/dining room (31 sqm), tiled floor - good ceiling height (2.75 m). - Main entrance on the east side comprising a small vestibule, staircase leading to the first floor. Small shower room with washbasin. Separate WC. The whole represents 9.5sqm. Tiled floor. - 25sqm study with parquet flooring and tiled floor. Exposed stone and joists. Wood burner. - Living room of 35 sqm with fireplace. Tiled floor. Exposed stone and beams. High ceilings (3m). Numerous windows let in plenty of light. 2°) 1st floor: 12sqm landing leading to 4 bedrooms (11 / 12 / 17 and 28 sqm); a bathroom and a washroom. WC. The master bedroom could easily accommodate a shower room adjoining the landing. 3°) The attic: under the rafters, with the possibility of converting approx. 80 sqm. The outbuildings: A) Situated slightly away from the main dwelling and overlooking the Orne valley is a charming little dwelling adjoining a 15th century tower that has been completely renovated to provide approx. 40 sqm of living space over 2 stories. It comprises a kitchen area, living room, bedroom, shower room and toilet, part of which is in the tower. The works are recent, and some are in the process of being finished. B) Set back from the 2 other buildings, right in line with the stone perimeter wall, stands the so-called 'watch tower' with its panoramic view over the meandering Orne, bearing witness to its defensive role in the Middle Ages. C) The remains of a chapel can still be seen on high ground .... D) A shelter consisting of 3 horse stalls has been built in the middle of the grassland. E) A large 35 sqm garage adjoins the main dwelling and houses, among other things, the boiler room. By definition, Suisse Normande is a region of hills and the Orne valley is its main attraction. So it's only natural that this property should take full advantage of a landscape with many facets, from woods and open grasslands to the steep, rocky slopes leading down to the river. Most of the 33 acres or so that make up the immediate surroundings are meadows, particularly suitable for horses. Some of the more scrubby areas are home to a wealth of wildlife (roe deer, woodcock, etc.). An old kitchen garden, a pond and fruit trees (apple, pear and cherry) complete the setting. Fresnes, oaks, cedars of Lebanon, cedars of the Atlas... some of which are over a hundred years old, have acquired their protection through their status as 'classified wooded areas', rivalling the 'area for the protection of architectural and urban heritage' conferred on the site. The 800-metre cul-de-sac leading to the property is surrounded by excellent, reassuring and discreet neighbours, with no nuisance to disturb the rare silence that only the sound of birdsong can disturb. Could this be the definition of 'paradise'? Around 12,36 acres are rented out next door, ensuring regular maintenance. A clever swap of 2 distant plots (4,45 acres) for the partial appropriation of a plot adjoining the rear of the property will enable a more rational improvement of the immediate environment.

Origin according to the tradition of the name of Belle-Etoile: 'The Sire of Cerisy, Henri de Beaufou, had gone to the Crusade, leaving at home his wife, Edicie de Romilly, whose family was attached to that of the Dukes. Several years passed without any message reassuring Edicie about the fate of her husband. She sometimes went to take her dreamy sadness to the edge of the woods, near a spring called the Fairy Fountain, because the fairies came there, it was said, to dance in the pale rays of the moon. It was perhaps one of those sacred springs so dear to our ancestors the Gauls. Perhaps also the great oaks, which rose on its banks, had seen the Druids accomplishing their mysteries there. Anyway, one spring morning, Edicie, seated near the transparent wave, addressed an ardent prayer to God for the return of the absent one. Suddenly it seemed to him that a bright light shimmered on the surface of the water. It was doubtless the reflected image of a star which shone in the depths of the firmament. But for the supplicant, it was salvation! And in fact, soon Henri de Beaufou was back. Escaped from the thousand perils of a very long journey, he could finally press his wife to his heart. At the height of joy, he wanted to give the nascent abbey the name of BELLE-ÉTOILE, in memory of the miraculous star. » Note on History: - 1216, foundation, rich endowment by a lord close to the King of England. - 1238, abbey church. - Cloister started in 1496. - Looted by the reformed 2nd half of the 16th century - Report of the parliament of Normandy ordering it to be raised from its ruins in 1600 - 1620, The Calvinists are driven out. - 1630, the Premonstratensians arrive and restore order in the functioning of the abbey. - 1791, dismantling, part of the library is in the departmental archives, the place becomes an industrial site 'for the factory of rose cup, alum, vitriolic acid, soap, cotton fabrics of all kinds'. - 1818, the vaults of the abbey are reported to have fallen. - 1841, the industrial exploitation is announced stopped.
