Ref.4466 : french house for sale in Normandy in a beautiful park. The property is located in Normandy in the heart of the Normandie-Maine Regional Nature Park, between the Sarthoises and Percheronnes regions, in the immediate vicinity of the prefecture of Alençon, to which it is attached as part of the Communauté Urbaine. It therefore benefits from all the administrative, economic and commercial facilities of a town of 25,000 inhabitants. Local shops are less than 2 km away. Motorway access is on the doorstep of the property, making it a real crossroads for communications between Paris, Brittany, Rouen and Touraine. Although set away from civilisation, this country manor house has both the advantages and disadvantages associated with its half-urban/half-country profile, which everyone will be able to accommodate according to their priorities and requirements. The challenges and objectives of modern civilisation have always made everyday life easier, sometimes to the detriment of heritage preservation. This property is a perfect example of the compromise required to accept the reminder of the sounds of civilisation, but which fortunately nature knows how to attenuate with its luxuriant vegetation.
