Restored Normandy Estate With Owners' Residence, Guest Accommodation & Reception Barn

Set within approximately 2.4 hectares (5.9 acres) of peaceful Normandy countryside, only minutes from the elegant spa town of Bagnoles-de-l’Orne, this beautifully restored estate combines a substantial private residence with independent guest accommodation, an impressive reception building and the infrastructure required to support a wide variety of future uses.

Extending to approximately 550 sq m (5,920 sq ft) across three principal buildings, the estate offers exceptional flexibility while remaining perfectly suited as a private family home from the day of completion.

The restoration has already been completed, allowing its next owners to enjoy the property immediately rather than undertaking years of renovation so often associated with traditional French estates.

Owners’ Residence

At the heart of the estate sits an entirely independent owners’ residence extending to approximately 200 sq m.

Designed for comfortable everyday living, the house combines generous open-plan reception areas with a practical family layout that remains completely separate from the guest accommodation.

The principal living space centres around a welcoming fireplace and opens naturally onto a private terrace and secluded gardens, allowing the owners to enjoy complete privacy within the wider estate.

The accommodation comprises:

Principal bedroom suite on the ground floor
Three further bedrooms upstairs
Two particularly generous bedrooms of approximately 35 sq m each
Open-plan reception areas
Private gardens and terrace

The separation between the owners’ residence and the remaining buildings is one of the estate’s greatest strengths, allowing guests to be welcomed without compromising everyday family life.

Guest Accommodation

A second beautifully restored stone building provides independent guest accommodation for up to 15 guests.

The accommodation comprises:

Two double guest rooms
One triple guest room
Two spacious family suites
Private bathrooms and WC facilities throughout

Supporting facilities include:

Breakfast room
Guest lounge
Seminar room
Laundry
Service areas

Whether retained for visiting family and friends or incorporated into a hospitality business, the accommodation is already fully established.

Reception Building

The third principal building gives the estate its distinctive character.

Its centrepiece is an impressive reception room of approximately 90 sq m, opening directly onto a magnificent terrace of approximately 100 sq m.

Combined with a professional-standard catering kitchen, the building is perfectly suited to entertaining, family celebrations, private dining, seminars, workshops or small-scale events.

Above the reception space lies a substantial undeveloped floor that introduces further flexibility.

Subject to the necessary permissions, it could provide additional guest accommodation, studios, treatment rooms, wellness facilities, recreational space or further ancillary accommodation.

Infrastructure & Practical Facilities

One of the estate’s greatest strengths is that the supporting infrastructure is already in place.

Facilities include:

Wood-pellet central heating system
16,000-litre rainwater recovery system
Workshop
Boiler house
Traditional chicken coop
Additional outbuildings
Extensive parking for approximately 30 vehicles

These practical elements allow the estate to operate efficiently from the day of completion.

Grounds

Approximately 2.4 hectares (5.9 acres) of mature grounds surround the buildings.

Private gardens merge naturally into open countryside, creating an estate that feels peaceful, established and entirely in keeping with its rural surroundings.

A traditional stone pigeonnier remains an attractive feature within the grounds, reinforcing the property’s authentic Normandy character.

Location

The estate enjoys a peaceful position within the beautiful Bocage Ornais, one of Normandy’s most attractive rural landscapes.

Only minutes away, Bagnoles-de-l’Orne offers restaurants, cafés, boutiques, leisure facilities and its renowned thermal spa within an elegant Belle Époque setting.

The surrounding countryside provides excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and horse riding, while Normandy’s celebrated markets and gastronomy remain part of everyday life.

The result is a location that offers genuine rural tranquillity without sacrificing accessibility or everyday convenience.

Flexibility

The three principal buildings work together exceptionally well while remaining capable of functioning independently.

As a result, the estate lends itself naturally to a variety of future uses, including:

Private family estate
Multi-generational living
Boutique hospitality
Wellness or retreat destination
Creative residencies
Small-scale events
Professional seminars or workshops

Naturally, any future commercial activity would remain subject to the necessary permissions and approvals.

A Rare Opportunity

Beautifully restored estates that combine substantial private accommodation with established hospitality infrastructure are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Whether enjoyed as an exceptional family home, developed as a hospitality venture or adapted to suit an entirely different vision, this Normandy estate offers the rare advantage of beginning from a position of completion rather than potential.

The buildings have already been restored.

The infrastructure is already in place.

The next chapter simply belongs to its new owners.
