Beautiful 18th century castle with outbuildings, including a reception hall, located in the Orne.

Located a short distance from the vast forests of Grande Gouffern, Pin-au-Haras, and Ecouves, this 18th-century château stands proudly on the edge of a picturesque village. Close to the town of Argentan, this property enjoys a strategic location with easy access to major road and rail routes, making travel to Paris convenient in approximately three hours. Nestled in the heart of the Normandy countryside, the château comprises a main building on three floors. On the southeast side, the property opens onto a courtyard flanked by two elegant outbuildings facing each other. A central terrace overlooks a fountain, while a terraced garden slopes down towards the surrounding forest, reinforcing the formal French design. Inside, the château offers approximately 600 square meters of living space spread over three levels. The ground floor comprises a central entrance hall leading to various functional spaces, including the kitchen with its stone fireplace, the dining room with outside access, and several living rooms with beautifully finished marble and antique parquet floors. The first floor houses several spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, while the second floor offers even more living and storage space. Second floor: The landing with a corridor to the right leads to two lovely bedrooms with fireplaces, each with its own bathroom and toilet, a small bedroom, and a storage room. To the left of the landing, a corridor leads to two further bedrooms, a small bedroom, and a bathroom with a toilet. The outbuildings surrounding the château have been meticulously restored. The former orangery, now transformed into a stunning, adaptable reception hall for events, offers a bright and spacious atmosphere thanks to its large windows and remarkable ceiling height. It is equipped to comfortably accommodate caterers and guests in a sumptuous setting. Upstairs, two large rooms beneath exposed, cathedral-style beams could potentially be converted into two separate apartments. The chapel, a remnant of an earlier structure, retains only its high walls. To the south, a beautiful outbuilding with exposed stone walls and a flat tile roof is arranged around a 57 sq m reception room, containing a well-preserved old bread oven. The beams are visible, and an insulated concrete slab has recently been installed. A small annex is being renovated to include a kitchen, shower, and toilet. An adjoining room serves as a storage area, while a lovely sunny gable end offers potential as an artist's studio. The grounds are remarkable for their diversity. To the north, a lime tree-lined avenue leads to a village a few hundred meters away—a distinguished access, rarely used but easily accessible. To the east, near the ruins of the chapel, a pasture of just over one hectare easily feeds two horses. A 2,500 m² orchard shelters several old apple and fruit trees. To the south, a 4-hectare plot, beyond the departmental road, is maintained thanks to a neighbor agreement. This estate covers a total of 10 hectares, 13 ares, and 35 centiares without any significant nuisances or easements, except for occasional nearby railway traffic.

The fees are to be paid by the seller.
