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.

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.
