manors for sale Saint-Hilaire-du-Harcouët, France

A 16th-century manor house set in 6 hectares of grounds in the south of the Cotentin peninsula. At the junction of a departmental road, a 900 m-long track leads to the driveway up to the manor house, which faces south. The first thing you see are two buildings. On one side there is an old bakery, and on the other, a larger building used as a warehouse for agricultural equipment. Further on you come to a chapel, dated 1712 according to an inscription on the pediment of its arched door. The driveway spans the moat surrounding the manor house, which is bordered at the back by a pond. The main facade is flanked at either end by two towers with narrow openings typical of 16th century fortified houses. The roof is made of slate. A second building from the same period is opposite it. Finally, a last building borders the pond: an old barn with a hayloft.

A 17th-century chateau listed as a historical monument with outhouses and over seven hectares of grounds, nestled between Rennes and Mont-Saint-Michel. Country lanes wind through farmland and woods to join a cul-de-sac that leads to the property. Beyond the entrance gate, a driveway leads to the chateau. A chapel stands beside this driveway. The chateau towers over a French formal garden. A pond lies on the far side of this garden. The chateau dates back to the 17th century. It has a basement, a semibasement, a raised ground floor, a first floor, a second floor and a third floor. The edifice is listed as a historical monument. It looks out at its grounds, which extend all the way around the chateau and cover more than seven hectares. The chateau’s elevations are made of dressed stone. The building is made up of three asymmetrical sections. It stands in front of a main courtyard. A monumental double flight of steps marks the central section. A bell-shaped slate roof caps this central section. This majestic roof is adorned with a bull’s-eye window and underlined with modillions. A double-level roof lantern crowns the bell-shaped roof. Square slate tiles cover the roof lantern’s lower level and scale-shaped slate tiles cover its upper level. The roof lantern culminates in a finial. The edifice’s two other sections have hipped slate roofs. These hipped roofs are steep-sloped and are also underlined with modillions. Pediments with mouldings cap the windows. A broken arched pediment with a bull’s-eye window in the middle crowns the main entrance door. The facade faces east. It is bathed in natural light as soon as the sun rises. The sun then illuminates the other elevations throughout the day. At the back, there is a rear court edged by a south wing, an annexe and an orangery. At a lower level, there is an orchard and a swimming pool with a pool house. Woods complete the property. They form an enclosure around some sides of the property, which covers over seven hectares in total.
