Description
Ref. 3879 Norman 17th C. chateau and its outbuildings for sale at 135km from Paris
The property is located in Normandy in the heart of the wooded region of the Pays d'Ouche which marks the departmental limits between the Eure and the Orne.
It is in the middle of "nowhere" in a very rural context that this elegant property, built nearly four centuries ago, stands out in a most natural setting, sheltered by a long tree-lined driveway that arouses curiosity and maintains the mystery to its end.
A haven of peace if there ever was one, this property bears witness to this in the most beautiful way, without being cut off from modern life and its essential amenities that everyone can find in the nearby town, which is only a few minutes away (doctors, pharmacy, hospital, supermarkets, elementary school and college).
The road and rail systems make it possible to escape from the capital in less than two hours, which makes any residential or holiday project possible.
The chateau comprises a main body flanked by two square towers elegantly topped by a four-sided roof, with the return of a Mansard-style building that breaks the symmetry displayed while creating a warm and more intimate living area. The whole is in traditional flint covered with plaster with a brick chainwork of the openings.

A long avenue of about 350m leads to the front of the property, bordered on its left by a beautiful grassland where 2 horses are running and on its right by a vast parking lot (lit). The park is laid out in the English style, respecting the perspective from which the chateau benefits, and forming an embrace to a vast and very welcoming lawn.
Numerous species, some of which are over a hundred years old, prevent any visual inconvenience due to the flatness of the land.
We can see Sequoia, Ginkgo-Bilobas, acacia, cedar, beech, chestnut, pine, cherry tree, tulip tree, chestnut tree without forgetting the wisteria, Virginia creeper and other flowerbeds that enchant the facades.
The orchard gathers some apple trees, cherry trees and mirabelle trees.
