With 6.5 Acres in S. Normandy: Leisure Fisherman Take Note! TWO Houses in Utter Seclusion, Beautiful Meadows and a Lake: PLUS Potential to Build two Further Houses: All Located Only 2 Miles from the Historic Town of Domfront: What a Desirable Property !

Location: Domfront, Département of the Orne, Normandy Price reduced : €331,000 Status: For Sale Reference ID: 330 The above price includes Estate Agency Fees. A figure of 6.5% approximately should be added to the purchase price to cover Tax, Notary and Registration Fees. The above price includes all fixtures, fittings and furniture in the House and the Gite. Domfront – 2 miles The Coast near Avranches – 41 miles Caen (Ouistreham Ferry Port) – 60 miles Le Havre – 100 miles Cherbourg – 106 miles Dinard Airport (Ryanair) – 76 miles Calais – 255 miles The property is located near the town of Domfront, home of some superb restaurants, and bordering a quiet village at the end of a single track lane. This is the only property here, but you may walk back down the lane to the centre of the village to the Church and the Mairie. So the location is A.1. – quiet, secluded but part of a Commune and very easy to get to the shops, supermarkets and restaurants of Domfront. Within one hour’s drive are the beautiful beaches of the West Normandy Coast near Granville. There are various facilities for tourism in the area: lakes for boating, fishing and swimming, a children’s amusement park at St Hilaire du-Harcouët and various Chateaux. Within two hours drive there is Bayeux with its great tapestry, the grand chateaux of the Loire Valley and the city of Le Mans. The property has been owned as a second home since 1999 by two British couples (this is a very good idea since the cost of purchase and maintenance are shared 50/50). CONSIDERABLE ACHIEVEMENTS In 2006 the owners created a beautiful detached gîte (or second house) from the barn. This gîte is superb: it has a 31’ x 20’ Living Room/Kitchen plus three bedrooms and a large shower room. Although the owners have not conducted a lettings programme, their publicity is all up-and-running and this will be passed on to the new owners. One of the owners is mad on fishing so they were able to buy a lake and a small parcel of land in the village centre (and opposite the far part of their land). Planning Permission was granted on 19th May 2005 to build two houses on the parcel of land which is opposite their lake and adjacent to the village street (7,060 sq m). This Planning Permission has now expired, but the Mayor’s Office do not see a problem with a new grant of permission since they are keen to see a gradual expansion of this little village.
