Why this property will seduce you
- Dominant Woodland Setting: Dominant position within an exceptional rural environment.
- Reimagined Historic Architecture: 17th-century Perche farmhouse reinvented as a residence.
- Secluded Private Estate: Spectacular 29-hectare estate shielded from view and noise.
Demeures du Perche & de Normandie is delighted to unveil “LE BOIS”, a remarkable historic stone property that was once home to an authentic 17th-century Percheron farmstead.
Firmly rooted in its surroundings and commanding an elevated position, this exceptional property combines character, generous proportions and abundant natural light, set amidst an outstanding rural landscape.
With a deep passion for architectural heritage and the natural world, the owners have devoted the past thirty years to bringing this estate back to life. Through their dedication, sensitivity and vision, they have lovingly transformed it into a spacious, welcoming and exceptionally comfortable family home, imbued with warmth and character.
A fine example of the Perche region's distinctive architectural heritage, the estate now offers approximately 440 sq m of living accommodation, together with a further 300 sq m of as yet unrealised conversion potential.
The property is arranged around a spacious rectangular courtyard, the very heart of the estate, and comprises three independent residences and a small outbuilding. The buildings stand within a magnificent and exceptionally private 29-hectare estate, entirely secluded from view and sheltered from disturbance.
Here, natural stone, lime plaster, centuries-old roof tiles, timber, meadows and woodland come together to create an authentic and timeless country retreat. Wildlife quietly inhabits this remarkable landscape, lending its gentle presence to everyday life and enhancing the profound sense of peace and wellbeing that makes this setting so special.
The Principal Residence
Designed entirely for single-storey living, the principal residence offers approximately 195 sq m of living accommodation. Its atmosphere is both warm and elegant, defined by generous proportions, large windows and the omnipresence of beautifully preserved traditional materials.
From the moment one enters, a succession of light-filled rooms unfolds, thoughtfully designed for comfortable family living and effortless entertaining.
A spacious, fully fitted and equipped family kitchen opens onto a charming, intimate sitting area centred around a traditional stone fireplace, inviting relaxed moments and convivial gatherings. A separate pantry and a combined utility and boiler room provide additional practical space.
Beyond lies the dining room, also featuring an open fireplace, an inviting setting for memorable family meals and gatherings.
A further entrance hall with a generous boot room cupboard, a spacious drawing room, a first bedroom with its own shower room and WC, and an exceptional principal bedroom suite overlooking the surrounding countryside complete the ground-floor accommodation.
The principal suite is particularly striking, with an immense picture window framing the landscape like a living work of art. Its private bathroom features a whirlpool bath, a separate shower and WC.
Above, an extensive attic, occupying a floor area comparable to that of the ground floor, offers remarkable additional conversion potential.
Two Independent Residences
Separate from the principal house, another substantial part of the original buildings has been converted into two self-contained residences, offering considerable flexibility and a wealth of possibilities.
First Residence
Providing approximately 103 sq m of living accommodation, this charming house comprises, on the ground floor, an entrance hall, an attractive living and dining room with a fully fitted and equipped kitchen and fireplace, a generously proportioned bedroom, a bathroom and a separate WC.
On the first floor, a landing leads to two further bedrooms, a study and a bathroom with WC.
Second Residence
Created within the former imposing barn, this second residence offers approximately 140 sq m of living accommodation.
The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, a spacious fully fitted and equipped kitchen, a separate WC, a dining room, a study, an expansive drawing room and a bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom and WC.
On the first floor, preliminary conversion work has already begun on two rooms, while a further series of attic spaces provides approximately 100 sq m of additional potential.
Finally, a small detached outbuilding of approximately 16 sq m is currently used as a workshop.
This particularly rare configuration opens up a remarkable range of possibilities: bringing together family and friends while preserving everyone's independence and privacy; accommodating several generations; establishing a holiday cottage or bed-and-breakfast business, subject to the necessary permissions; or simply enjoying a versatile country estate capable of evolving with the aspirations of its owners.
Throughout the property, generous windows, impressive proportions and beautiful ceiling heights allow natural light to play a defining role. As the hours pass, sunlight brings the stone and timber to life, revealing the subtle textures and timeless character of this enchanting home.
An Estate Where Nature Becomes a Way of Life
Surrounding the residences, the gardens embrace the buildings before gradually giving way to woodland and open meadows, extending the sense of space, freedom and tranquillity seemingly without end.
A long avenue lined with American red oaks, truffle oaks, beeches, ashes and rowans leads towards the forest.
This is a world unto itself, inviting leisurely walks, quiet contemplation of nature and long days spent outdoors. For children, it is an extraordinary natural playground, where dens can be built, adventures imagined and treasured childhood memories made.
Unspoilt Countryside, Without Compromising on Convenience
The nearest village is just two minutes away, offering easy access to essential shops and everyday amenities.
The delightful historic town of Bellême, renowned for its architectural charm, and La Ferté-Bernard, with its railway connections to Paris-Montparnasse, are both approximately ten minutes away.
A rare and wonderfully secluded setting, deeply restorative yet remarkably accessible, where one can live, entertain, pass on a family legacy or embark upon a new venture.
A truly captivating property, shaped by centuries of history and patiently reimagined by its owners, offering that precious, almost paradoxical feeling of being a world away from everything, yet within easy reach of all that matters.
