manor for sale Soligny-la-Trappe, France

A restored manor house and Historical Monument, surrounded by a walled garden, nestled in the rolling landscape of the Orne department’s Perche region. Within walking distance from the village, halfway up a hillside and at the end of a small lane, the property, enclosed by tall walls, which are, in turn, cadenced by round towers, is accessible via an immense gate, topped with crenulations. As for its tall walls, they surround a large U-shaped interior garden, the latter of which, facing westward towards the surrounding countryside below its enclosure wall, has been meticulously landscaped and deftly blends together the differences in its sloping topography. Standing out thanks to its soaring tile gable roof, which is highlighted with a cornice, the manor is extended by a second, adjacent dwelling, while the other buildings, used as holiday accommodations, a caretaker’s cottage and various outbuildings, respectively, round out the edifices in the enclosure. Lastly, behind the dwelling and accessible via the walled garden, a two-hectare orchard overlooks the countryside.
