Normandy Lifestyle Estate with Chapel, Gîte, Land and Smallholding Potential

Create your own sustainable lifestyle in the heart of the Normandy countryside

Hidden away at the very end of a quiet country lane, where the only regular visitors are wildlife and the changing seasons, this unique Normandy property offers far more than simply a home—it offers the opportunity to embrace an entirely different way of life.

Surrounded by open countryside, with almost one hectare of land, mature trees and complete tranquillity, this versatile rural estate has been carefully developed over time to support a slower, more sustainable lifestyle. Whether your dream is to establish a smallholding, practise permaculture, keep horses or livestock, welcome holiday guests, or simply enjoy the peace and privacy of the French countryside, this property provides the space, infrastructure and flexibility to make that vision a reality.

Despite its wonderfully secluded position, the property remains conveniently located just six minutes from everyday amenities, combining rural living with practical accessibility.

## A Home Designed Around Flexibility

The principal farmhouse is currently configured as two independent living areas, reflecting the present owners' lifestyle requirements.

Each level benefits from its own living accommodation, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, making the property immediately suitable for multi-generational living, accommodating visiting family and friends, or creating private guest accommodation.

Should a purchaser prefer a more traditional layout, the house could readily be reconfigured to provide a comfortable three-bedroom family home.

The adaptable design allows the property to evolve alongside its owners' changing needs, whether as a permanent residence, holiday home or income-generating investment.

A Property That Works With Nature

Increasing numbers of buyers are searching for homes that allow them to become less dependent on modern life and more connected to the land around them.

This property lends itself naturally to that aspiration.

With approximately 9,682m² of gardens, pasture and established grounds, there is ample space for vegetable gardens, orchards, chickens, bees, livestock or permaculture projects. A pumped water supply already serves the land, adding practical value for those wishing to cultivate crops or care for animals.

The existing paddocks are already home to ponies and demonstrate the property's suitability for equestrian use or a smallholding. Whether your ambition is to produce your own food, create wildlife habitats or simply enjoy open green space, the possibilities are extensive.

Income Potential Already Established

Alongside the main farmhouse is an independent gîte project that has already begun.

The ground floor has been completed, registered and is currently welcoming paying guests through online hosting platforms, providing immediate supplementary income.

The upper floor remains to be finished, allowing new owners to personalise the accommodation while increasing its future earning potential.

This combination of established income and future development creates an excellent opportunity for buyers wishing to offset running costs or establish a lifestyle business in one of France's most visited regions.

Character Buildings Full of Opportunity

The property's collection of traditional outbuildings adds enormous versatility.

Private Chapel

A beautiful chapel of approximately 20m² provides an exceptionally rare feature. Whether preserved simply as a peaceful retreat, used as an artist's studio or incorporated into unique holiday experiences, it brings genuine individuality to the estate.

Traditional Barn

Currently used for storage, the barn would equally suit workshops, craft businesses, creative studios or further conversion opportunities, subject to the necessary permissions.

Large Hangar

Constructed with a concrete floor, the spacious hangar provides extensive covered storage for agricultural equipment, classic vehicles, machinery, motorhomes or business use.

Additional Agricultural Buildings

Several further outbuildings provide practical storage and excellent flexibility for hobbies, livestock or future projects.

Traditional Bread Oven

A charming reminder of the property's agricultural heritage, the original stone bread oven remains an attractive focal point and could potentially be restored for occasional baking, outdoor entertaining or artisan demonstrations.

Privacy Without Isolation

One of the property's greatest assets is the balance it achieves between privacy and convenience.

With no immediate neighbours, owners can enjoy complete peace while benefiting from the freedom to pursue rural activities without disturbing others.

Yet within only a few minutes are shops, restaurants, healthcare facilities and everyday services, making the property equally practical for permanent living.

Discover Normandy

The property enjoys an excellent position within one of Normandy's most desirable rural areas.

Approximate travelling times include:

* Saint-Hilaire-du-Harcouët – 10 minutes
* Avranches – 35 minutes
* Mont-Saint-Michel – 45 minutes
* Easy access to the A84 linking Caen and Rennes
* Convenient ferry connections to the United Kingdom

The surrounding region attracts millions of visitors each year thanks to its rolling countryside, walking routes, historic villages and the world-famous Mont-Saint-Michel, creating strong potential for holiday accommodation.

A Lifestyle Rather Than Simply a Property

Properties offering this combination of privacy, established accommodation, character buildings, equestrian facilities and genuine lifestyle potential are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Whether your ambition is to establish a smallholding, create a self-sufficient way of life, develop holiday accommodation, host wellbeing retreats, work remotely surrounded by nature, or simply enjoy the peace of rural Normandy, this exceptional property offers the flexibility to grow and evolve with your plans.

Rather than asking you to fit your life around the property, this is a property capable of adapting to the life you choose to create.
