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. In the heart of exceptional parkland, this property will prove to be an indisputably large and beautiful family home...

A beautiful, deep lawn faces the property, drawing the eye away to give an impression of controlled nature.
Slightly below, two bodies of water (one measuring 35,000 sqm), fed by springs, are self-regulating, much to the delight of ducks and moorhens. It is said that there is no shortage of fish...
A belt of trees of all species, most of them two-hundred years old, ensures the intimacy of the estate and almost makes you forget that we are only on … 12.80 acres (5ha 18a 36ca).
The grounds are well maintained, so you can walk, ride or drive around them!
A large vegetable garden completes the picture and is waiting to be brought back to life.
An original brick greenhouse stands alongside the many fruit trees that back onto the high stone walls on the roadside.
The beauty of the grounds, the good general condition and the rare potential of this property will leave no one indifferent;
May you find the ideal property you've been dreaming of for so long...
