Normandy has proximity to major cities and strong transportation links. This property is a 20-minute drive from the town of Argentan and 30 minutes from the town of Flers. The vast equestrian facilities at Haras Du Pin are just a half-hour drive away.

In addition to the 18th Century manor house, which sits in 300 acres of prime Normandy pasture, there are four gîtes, a swimming pool, tennis courts, and top-tier equestrian facilities.

Currently operating as a working stud farm specialising in high-quality sport horses, this property includes 54 stables, a manège, a lake and arable land.

Although this property is steeped in history, the main house has modern amenities with a total of 20 bedrooms and 20 bathrooms. In addition, the self-contained gîtes can accommodate up to 40 guests.
