manor for sale Clermont, France

An authentic 18th-century manor house with 4 hectares of grounds in a village within the Chalosse region, in the south of the Landes department, 45 minutes from the ocean. With its origins harking back to the Renaissance and refurbished many times over the centuries, the property’s current group of buildings dates from the 18th century. Lined with protected multi-century trees, a drive leads to the two-storey manor house, which includes two main buildings placed at right angles to one another. Topped with tile hipped roofs, they are cadenced by Renaissance-style small-paned casement windows and flanked by two square towers.
