Courcy - House For Sale

16th century former farm (full history available in the agency) comprising 2 restored houses, a former restored bakery, a former barn/store building, and a massive stone barn. The majority of the renovation works were carried out between 2007 & 2009. This former farm totals 465 sqm between the two houses (215 sqm & 250 sqm) and more than 500 sqm in the outbuildings with potential for conversion of all this space. The buildings are niched in the heart of a pretty property including 9 hectares of fields, woods and trees with southern exposition overlooking the valley. Some of the land borders the river Soule. The owners' aim was to create a setting with a balanced lifestyle respecting the surrounding nature, the cultural and human history, and to use methods of construction minimising the impact of the environment. ENERGY EFFICIENCY RATING: C and B

The department of Manche is in Lower Normandy and is bordered with Calvados, Orne, Mayenne and Ille-et-Vilaine. The English Channel in the west, north and north-west coastlines makes getting here to its many ports very easy from the UK. There is also an airport in Caen and many others are easily accessible in the surrounding regions such as Rennes airport.

History is all over the department through its museums and heritage, discovering the local traditions and culture as well as Chateaux, religious monuments, water mills, maritime sites and gardens is easy to do. The biggest 'must-do' is a visit to Mont Saint Michel.

Tourism plays a major role in the economy of the department which is fine because there is so much to see and do.
