A gorgeous 17th Century Normandy Stone Character Farm House set in a beautiful setting with amazing views over a river Valley and 6 Hectares of land comprising of Pasture, Wood, Streams, Springs, Ponds and the possibility of restoring an Old Lake. All in all including the Annex the Main House has a footprint of 220m2 approx with an independent Character Barn of 30m x 7m ripe for conversion. Plus numerous other old Building remnants that could be future Building projects.<br /> <br /> This is only the second time the Main Large 17th Century character Normandy Stone House has been made available for sale in its entire life ( built in 1671 and owned by the same family its entire life prior to my purchase 11 years ago ).<br /> <br /> With all the land included we are looking for 385,000 Euros with full 6Ha and 369,000 Euros with 3Ha ( priced for quick sale ). The property price has been significantly reduced since having a buyer pull out last May due to illness at the original 450K asking price. We are expecting some viewings over the next few weeks for both land and House so please if interested get in touch sooner rather than later.<br /> <br /> Agents have it advertised around 385,000 Euros, the reduced price ( as of the last fortnight ) for a quick sale. So it would be nice to sell minus the Agent as both we and the buyer will capitalise and benefit from further savings. Of course please note Notaires fee's are applicable as in all cases when buying French property.<br /> <br /> More photos: http://s1106.photobucket.com/albums/h366/tinkydinkys/House%20in%20Basse%20Normandy%20For%20Sale/<br /> <br /> If link does not work visit GermanSheps.Net and click on the Advert for the House that will take you to the Photobucket Album.<br /> <br /> The land comprises of Age long Pasture land, with Streams, natural potable Springs and small Wood, pond ( possibility of a Lake post re excavation ) all within a quiet and rural setting with very pretty views.<br /> The House:<br /> <br /> A beautiful Large Normandy Stone Character Maison pere built in 1671 in a prime elevated and lovely position, with large drive and Hard standing area. In a prime location ( shops and school not far ) but in a very quiet and rural situation). 50 minutes to the ports of Caen and Cherbourg, 15km South West of Saint Lo, relatively close to the D999 ( a five minute drive or so ). The property has vast potential with beautiful views overlooking a river valley, the river itself the villages own name ( A great little Wild Trout fishery ) and overlooking its own land surrounding the House. It needs someone with vision and a really amazing project in mind, we have done a lot but there is much more potential.<br /> <br /> A detached Character barn ( Normandy stone ) 30m x 7m in size already assessed by an Architect, which would make a beautiful Character property in its own right. The barn independently valued at 80,000 Euros. An Annex to the main House 11m x 7m which will extend the floor living space to over 210m2 per floor x 3. The Annex has wonderful roof beams and the Main Oak beams are in impeccable condition ( Annex currently used for storage ).<br /> <br /> To the rear is a lovely Sun Trap courtyard and potential for extending into the rear Field. There are further old outbuilding remnants making even greater scope for adding Buildings. A very large Side garden which would border the possible Lake with direct access to the Main Spring/Pond ( Potable ) and encroached pond/could be large lake.<br /> <br /> There is vast potential with some wonderful period features, Granite Fire place, door and window surrounds, Beamed ceilings and traditional windows etc.<br /> <br /> Sure it needs some work and needs someone with foresight and vision but the resulting property would be astonishing and make an extremely High value home. As said the property is currently well below its valuations as we have no choice but to sell. This is a very reluctant sale as we love it and have done for the last 11 years and would love to realise the full potential ourselves but times are such.<br /> <br /> So if a quiet 17th Century large Normandy stone Character house with 1m thick walls, beautiful outbuildings and potential. Pasture land, wood and streams, Potable springs, encroached pond and the possibility of a beautiful lake that could be created please get in touch.<br /> <br /> Email - Bondarts@yahoo.co.uk<br /> <br /> Thanks]]> Mr Whitson http://normandydirect.com/listing-mr-whitson-246.html MjQ2LTIwMTEtMDgtMjkgMTM6Mjc6MzI= no photo<span class="field_caption">Full Description</span>:&nbsp;Property for sale in between Vimoutiers and Gace region Basse Normande (61)<br /> <br /> Our property sits at the end of a lane and comprises of 1 main colombage house which is 250 years old, a separate maison dÂ’amie with garage which is 9 years old and a pigeonnaire to finish.

The house<br /> <br /> The house is full of history. It was originally owned by a marquis and then by a family of French nobility. It has the architectural features you would expect:<br /> <br /> * elaborate ceiling roses, covings and corner pieces<br /> <br /> * marble fireplaces<br /> <br /> * elegant staircase<br /> <br /> * large entrance hall with doors at both ends<br /> <br /> * large cellars used for storing wine<br /> <br /> The house has about 200 sq m of living area on the ground and first floors, with entrance hall, kitchen, lounge, five bedrooms (one with walk-in dressing room), downstairs bathroom/wc/bidet, upstairs shower/wc and another upstairs wc. There is also a self-contained flat on the ground floor, which forms part of the house, consisting of large living space, kitchen area and shower/wc. Near the house there is a detached garage. A little further away there are two outbuildings (see below under "Future possibilities")<br /> <br /> The original features have been kept, but the house has been updated sympathetically to include modern facilities:<br /> <br /> * oil central heating boiler providing hot water and heating by radiators in all rooms (most with individual thermostats)<br /> <br /> * double glazing throughout - with moulded replica bronze handles on downstairs windows<br /> <br /> * large well fitted kitchen - with lots of fitted cabinets, tiled floor, one and a half drainer sink and numerous power points<br /> <br /> * modern electrics<br /> <br /> * recent plumbing<br /> <br /> * general redecoration in harmony with the history of the house<br /> <br /> 2. The grounds<br /> <br /> * Attractive lawns to front and rear of the property, with many beautiful flowering shrubs<br /> <br /> * Fruit gardens: apples, pear, cherry, apricot, peach, nectarine and plum trees; raspberries, gooseberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants, pinkcurrants<br /> <br /> * Big vegetable plot, well sheltered by walls and hedging<br /> <br /> * Large field with level ground, ideal for keeping animals. Fully enclosed with sheep fencing.<br /> <br /> 3. Location<br /> <br /> The house is situated in a very quiet lane, but not isolated.<br /> <br /> The property is located in Landivy, in Département 53, Mayenne. This is within the region of Pays de la Loire, France. Landivy is a large village, with a bank, two bakers, grocery shop, chemist, two hairdressers, butcher and bar. The village is within easy walking distance of the house, but the property also has the benefit of having open views and being next to open countryside. This is truly "the best of both worlds"!<br /> <br /> Landivy itself is also in a good location: near the borders of Pays de la Loire with Normandy and Brittany. Laval is about an hour away, where there is a fast TGV service to Paris. Rennes and Dinard airports are a similar distance. So getting here is convenient.<br /> <br /> 4. Future possibilities<br /> <br /> There are two outbuildings, currently used as a sheep house and storage shed but previously used for occupation. These could, if desired and subject to necessary permissions, be changed into gites or other buildings.<br /> <br /> The house, being large, could offer B&B possibilities, if desired.<br /> <br /> The land nearest the road could - if the purchaser so wishes - be built upon, as it falls within a zone allowing such development, subject to formal building consent. Yet this is only an option; a purchaser could equally keep the land as it is.]]> House Sainte-Mère Eglise (Manche) http://normandydirect.com/listing-house-sainte-m%E8re-eglise-%28manche%29-247.html MjQ3LTIwMTEtMDgtMTYgMTM6Mzk6MTM= <span class="field_caption">Full Description</span>:&nbsp;Charming stone house.

The seven acre woodland has a pathway carved through to provide easy access for walking, cycling, horseriding etc. There are areas set up for picnics, so you have your very own piece of heaven, surrounded by wildlife including deer, squirrels, badgers and hares and birds such as buzzards, woodpeckers, swallows, owls, herons, and many more. There is a large vegetable plot, orchard and chicken coop. <br /> The 3000m² lake is stocked with carp. There is a well, so you have a free running supply of water for gardens, animals, vehicles etc.<br /> <br /> The village is a mere three kilometers. The local school bus will pick the children up from your driveway and bring them back home safely each day. The medieval market town of Chateau Gontier, a very accessible seven kilometers.

The river Mayenne runs through Chateau Gontier, so you can fish or hire a boat, or perhaps find your own mooring spot. The Mayenne region is famous for horse breeding and race tracks.
