Probable consequence of a wish formulated during a Crusade, the Abbey of Belle-Etoile was founded at the beginning of the 13th century, shortly after the conquest of Normandy by Philippe-Auguste. In the hollow of a valley, along a stream, this abbey with a poetic name and a tumultuous history (looting, English occupation, illegal occupation, lawsuits...) saw 43 abbots pass by in 575 years until its dismantled in 1791. It presents architectural remains of the greatest interest, the ruins of the 13th century abbey church of which the porch and four large arcades of the nave remain, a wing of the 15th century cloister with superb sculpted and emblazoned beams with beautiful sandpits and an original framework bearing inscriptions in Gothic; and a beautiful 18th century hotel with the appearance of a manor house. The grand 18th century hostelry, with a symmetrical facade with seven bays under a large three-sided roof, very neat granite architecture, stone chaining, stone strips highlighting the floors and windows.

On the first floor, the windows are adorned with a brace, an upstairs door suggests an exterior wooden passageway, the flat tiled roof was redone about 30 years ago and wooden parts restored to the best manner.

Origin according to the tradition of the name of Belle-Etoile: 'The Sire of Cerisy, Henri de Beaufou, had gone to the Crusade, leaving at home his wife, Edicie de Romilly, whose family was attached to that of the Dukes. Several years passed without any message reassuring Edicie about the fate of her husband. She sometimes went to take her dreamy sadness to the edge of the woods, near a spring called the Fairy Fountain, because the fairies came there, it was said, to dance in the pale rays of the moon. It was perhaps one of those sacred springs so dear to our ancestors the Gauls. Perhaps also the great oaks, which rose on its banks, had seen the Druids accomplishing their mysteries there. Anyway, one spring morning, Edicie, seated near the transparent wave, addressed an ardent prayer to God for the return of the absent one. Suddenly it seemed to him that a bright light shimmered on the surface of the water. It was doubtless the reflected image of a star which shone in the depths of the firmament. But for the supplicant, it was salvation! And in fact, soon Henri de Beaufou was back. Escaped from the thousand perils of a very long journey, he could finally press his wife to his heart. At the height of joy, he wanted to give the nascent abbey the name of BELLE-ÉTOILE, in memory of the miraculous star. » Note on History: - 1216, foundation, rich endowment by a lord close to the King of England. - 1238, abbey church. - Cloister started in 1496. - Looted by the reformed 2nd half of the 16th century - Report of the parliament of Normandy ordering it to be raised from its ruins in 1600 - 1620, The Calvinists are driven out. - 1630, the Premonstratensians arrive and restore order in the functioning of the abbey. - 1791, dismantling, part of the library is in the departmental archives, the place becomes an industrial site 'for the factory of rose cup, alum, vitriolic acid, soap, cotton fabrics of all kinds'. - 1818, the vaults of the abbey are reported to have fallen. - 1841, the industrial exploitation is announced stopped.

Away from civilization, in a privileged setting combining agricultural plains and wooded areas and wooded areas, at the end of a dead-end road, 8 centuries of history are on offer to enthusiasts the charm of a remarkably authentic estate. An almost monastic silence recalls the philosophy of the place and enriches the extraordinary ambience of serenity and well-being that cannot fail to meet the most demanding requirements. The property benefits from an ideal geographical location, flirting to the west with the urban world. Services and shops worthy of a town of 10,000 souls, while to the east it borders the renowned Suisse Normande, a land of excellence for nature sports (canoeing, paragliding, climbing, water skiing, motorboating, hang-gliding, bungee jumping, hiking, golf, horse-riding, hunting, fishing,guinguettes....). The region's wide range of high-quality activities is protected by the Natura 2000 label, which is designed to protect the biotope and the environment. Proximity to major roads and means of communication make it easy to get around. Functional, this property is ideal for family and professional projects, whether as a primary or secondary residence, or even as a holiday home. The priory takes the form of a relatively square enclosure, enclosed by four main buildings arranged around a courtyard of honour and completed by protective stone walls. In the background are the church and the ruins of an imposing tithe barn. The only entrance is to the south via two superb 4th-century ogival doors, one reserved for carts, the other for pedestrians. The main dwelling is adjoined by a double angled building, now used for events. The main dwelling features an almost identical three-storey stone façade, topped by a tiled roof. The overall effect is one of classicism, with perfectly symmetrical openings. The entrance is modest, with a simple ogival door in the center of the dwelling. With a living area of around 180 sqm excluding attic space, the dwelling is distributed as follows : Ground floor : small entrance facing a straight, simple staircase. To the right, dining room with stone fireplace and wood-burning stove (terracotta floor tiles / lime-rendered walls). Kitchen and scullery to follow (terracotta floor tiles). WC (terracotta floor tiles). Left, living room with large stone fireplace and wood-burning stove (carpeting / exposed stone and plaster / painted joists). Room to follow, currently used as storeroom. First floor : landing and corridor leading to three bedrooms with parquet flooring, one of which adjoins a bathroom. Access to the attic, which is largely convertible. The overall structure is in good condition, with some finishing work in progress. Ceiling heights range from 2.42 m to 2.48 m on the ground floor and 2.66 m on the first floor. The outbuildings: 1. APPENDIX : located back from the dwelling, this consists of two adjoining stone buildings, one of which has two levels. The main part is a vast cathedral-shaped reception room of 120 sqm, which can accommodate up to 100 guests. An adjoining room can accommodate up to fifteen guests in a more quiet setting. Disabled WC. Fully equipped professional kitchen. Legally compliant safety standards. Rear access for caterer. The first floor features a vast dormitory with a dozen beds, water/shower facilities and high-quality WC. The dormitory is a luminous space, adorned with beautiful period floor tiles, and benefits from a roof structure of rare and atypical beauty. An overhanging bedroom is reserved for 'newlyweds' ... who cannot be guaranteed perfect privacy! A terrace can be accessed from the dormitory, probably the former priest's room, adjoining the church, but now open to the sky... with only a beautiful monumental fireplace to decorate it. 2. SAINT-PIERRE CHURCH : the first stone dates back to 1072, with completion probably in the 14th century. Listed as a historic monument in 1929, it was long neglected and doomed to oblivion until the end of the 20th century, when the Bâtiments de France carried out a conservative-style renovation. The column capitals, vaults and windows are elegantly crafted. The capitals are adorned with beaded tracery, canelure or gadroons, flowers, foliage and other varied ornamentation. The arched windows are adorned on the outside with a beaded torus that frames them completely. The church has now been rescued and largely restored, and the floor can now boast flagstones, which the owner of the premises has made available by chance or by judicious research. 3. THE DIME BARN: slightly set back from the church, the ruins of this immense building remain, and will now be difficult to save. 4. THE OUTBUILDING: located on the courtyard side, this large building was probably designed to house the farm's animals. It consists of two separate parts, all in good condition and recently re-shingled. Attic. The floor area is around 100 sqm. 5. AUVENT: located right next to the main entrance, it now serves as a perfect carport. Its less noble Eternit roofing stands out, and will be the subject of a forthcoming estimate. The property is set on a plateau with unobstructed, far-reaching views. A beautiful wooded area breaks the monotony to the west. To the east are horse parks with wooden lices and a vast parking area. Within the walls, the South brings light and warmth… A few trees and fruit trees adorn the surroundings, while roses and Virginia creeper add color to the buildings. An old kitchen garden awaits restoration of its surrounding walls and the 'green thumb' who will bring it back to life. The whole property covers around 4 hectares, including just over one hectare within the city limits. The owner is open to negotiations for a further fifteen hectares or so. NB : a wind farm project is planned for around 1.5 km to the south of the property. This situation should not affect the current view, which benefits from the presence of the building adjoining the porch. Current operating costs of around 7840 euros (table of charges available) IR credit of 2000 euros - Monument historique status.

A wild world accessible at the gates of this charming property. Saint Pierre-du-Regard has a very ancient origin. It is mentioned in the charter of the Abbey of Lonlay in 1026. The commune was divided into 6 fiefs, the largest of which belonged to the Lords of SamoI. In the 13th century, mention is made of 'grand and petit Samoi'. Arriving at the village of 'grand Samoi', you can see a 17th-century castle, converted into a farm. This castle was split in two after a family quarrel. At first, it was a half-fiefdom, the seat of high justice, before becoming a barony: 'Famille de Samoi'. Originally, the castle was flanked by three cannon-armed towers. These towers were partly demolished by the two heir brothers. Today, one tower and part of the pond remain. At the time of the French Revolution, unlike neighboring communes that had rallied to the Republic, Saint-Pierre du regard remained loyal to the Royalists. On several occasions, the château du 'grand Samoi' was the venue for meetings of Chouannerie leaders.... In 2016, a British couple fell in love with the site, acquired it and restored it in its entirety. From then on, they lived in it and brought it back to life, without neglecting its surroundings, which were, to say the least, abandoned. The property features a 3-storey main building covered by a slate roof with 2 pointed slopes. A tower with a harmonized ridge links the main building with a slightly recessed structure, completing the perfect balance of the whole. The building is built of limestone rubble, with lime pointing. Beautiful 'lantern' windows provide plenty of interior light. The tower has retained some of its loopholes, testifying to the defensive status of the former château. With around 150 sqm of living space, the property is distributed as follows: *First floor: Central entrance opening onto a vast kitchen/dining room (37sqm) - tiled floor - exposed joists. - monumental granite fireplace. Salon to follow (16sqm) - tiled floor - monumental granite fireplace with wood-burning stove. Access to the staircase and to the garden. Small, cleverly concealed utility room. Total floor area 58 sqm, with high ceilings of 3.14 m. * Floor 1 : small landing and hallway leading to 3 bedrooms and a separate bathroom/wc.

Wooden floor.The boiler room is on the ground floor of the tower. There are eight outbuildings, staggered around the garden. 1. Garage in breeze-block with slate roof, comprising a 2-car garage. 2.

Anyone unfamiliar with the legendary garden design talent of our British friends will be amazed at the superbly landscaped design ... of an area inherited as a bramble patch only 8 years ago! Every nook and cranny is landscaped, flowered and staged to invite guests to rest and feel good. As you stroll through this large botanical garden, you'll come across all kinds of flowers (tulips, roses, irises, dahlias, lilies or lupines); you can also enjoy the many fruit trees present (raspberry, apple, mulberry, peach, pear, plum, redcurrant, blackcurrant, hazelnut, chestnut, etc.). The vegetable garden is not to be outdone ... it's just a matter of time! The grounds are relatively flat and high-maintenance, but well-designed, with beautifully grassed paths. The 'jeu de boules' reminds us that we're really in France... A lovely pond stocked with carp completes the romantic setting... at the foot of the island... in the shade of the weeping willow. A 4.37 acres corner of paradise with no known nuisances or servitudes.

Ref 4246: Pretty property for sale in a quiet place in Normandy. This elegant 'fortified house' is located in the heart of Normandy, just outside Caen, in the north of the famous natural region known as 'Suisse Normande'. Highly perched in a dominant and defensive position, overlooking the Orne valley, this former feudal stronghold boasts an exceptional environment, where charm, tranquillity and space make these authentic places magical ... and from another time. As for civilisation, it's less than a league away, offering all the services and shops you need for family life.Caen is less than half an hour away. Thanks to its renovation, this property has become a perfect main, second or holiday home. The property comprises a main dwelling, an annexe with a tower and a watch tower. The main building is a noble, sober construction of jointed schist stone, topped with a 4-slope studded slate roof. The building comprises 3 stories, 2 of which are converted. The facades are enlivened by arched doors and windows, and a few small openings are a reminder of the building's defensive role. The perfect proportions provide approx. 206 sqm of living space, not including a first floor that could be converted for the most part (approx. 80 sqm ). The property is laid out as follows 1°) Ground floor: -Entrance on the north side via a covered passageway giving access to the house and garage. - Kitchen/dining room (31 sqm), tiled floor - good ceiling height (2.75 m). - Main entrance on the east side comprising a small vestibule, staircase leading to the first floor. Small shower room with washbasin. Separate WC. The whole represents 9.5sqm. Tiled floor. - 25sqm study with parquet flooring and tiled floor. Exposed stone and joists. Wood burner. - Living room of 35 sqm with fireplace. Tiled floor. Exposed stone and beams. High ceilings (3m). Numerous windows let in plenty of light. 2°) 1st floor: 12sqm landing leading to 4 bedrooms (11 / 12 / 17 and 28 sqm); a bathroom and a washroom. WC. The master bedroom could easily accommodate a shower room adjoining the landing. 3°) The attic: under the rafters, with the possibility of converting approx. 80 sqm. The outbuildings: A) Situated slightly away from the main dwelling and overlooking the Orne valley is a charming little dwelling adjoining a 15th century tower that has been completely renovated to provide approx. 40 sqm of living space over 2 stories. It comprises a kitchen area, living room, bedroom, shower room and toilet, part of which is in the tower. The works are recent, and some are in the process of being finished. B) Set back from the 2 other buildings, right in line with the stone perimeter wall, stands the so-called 'watch tower' with its panoramic view over the meandering Orne, bearing witness to its defensive role in the Middle Ages. C) The remains of a chapel can still be seen on high ground .... D) A shelter consisting of 3 horse stalls has been built in the middle of the grassland. E) A large 35 sqm garage adjoins the main dwelling and houses, among other things, the boiler room. By definition, Suisse Normande is a region of hills and the Orne valley is its main attraction. So it's only natural that this property should take full advantage of a landscape with many facets, from woods and open grasslands to the steep, rocky slopes leading down to the river. Most of the 33 acres or so that make up the immediate surroundings are meadows, particularly suitable for horses. Some of the more scrubby areas are home to a wealth of wildlife (roe deer, woodcock, etc.). An old kitchen garden, a pond and fruit trees (apple, pear and cherry) complete the setting. Fresnes, oaks, cedars of Lebanon, cedars of the Atlas... some of which are over a hundred years old, have acquired their protection through their status as 'classified wooded areas', rivalling the 'area for the protection of architectural and urban heritage' conferred on the site. The 800-metre cul-de-sac leading to the property is surrounded by excellent, reassuring and discreet neighbours, with no nuisance to disturb the rare silence that only the sound of birdsong can disturb. Could this be the definition of 'paradise'? Around 12,36 acres are rented out next door, ensuring regular maintenance. A clever swap of 2 distant plots (4,45 acres) for the partial appropriation of a plot adjoining the rear of the property will enable a more rational improvement of the immediate environment.
