Maison De Maitre With Land Ideal Horses..

An excellent example of a beautifully restored, 6 bedroomed 'Maison de Maitre" with outbuildings (ideal for gites or another business activity) and 13 acres of land (ideal for equestrian use).Set in a commanding position with sweeping views across the undulating Bocage countryside,this grandiose residence makes a perfect family home. Situation village The property is the last one at the edge of a small Norman village. Beyond is nothing but fields and hills, and distant farms. The view is exceptional - two or three kilometres to a forested hilltop. No electric towers; no windfarms. The view is bucolic. The road which serves the property is a small one, and is in fact a no-through road, serving a group of houses a kilometre or so past. The village has a school and a pretty church. The residents are exceptionally friendly and welcoming, which has never ceased to surprise and delight the current owners. If one reciprocates, one is immediately taken in as part of the community. Situation geographique The village lies in a scenic part of the Norman Bocage. Moreover, the village is situated at the very intersection of two 'green' roads in the Michelin mapbook. (Roads marked green are judged especially scenic.) For bakers, butchers, restaurant, and so on, all this lies in the very next village, a few kilometres away. The road between this village and that one is lovely - with winding turns, steep hills covered in daffodils in spring, a rushing stream, an old mill and forests. In terms of access, the property is exceptionally convenient, as access to the A84 autoroute is under ten minutes - putting you on the way to Caen (East) or Mont Saint Michel (West). Caen is reached in 25 minutes. Very nice beaches in 40 minutes Energy rating F LE BENY BOCAGE 14 ENERGY EFFICIENCY RATING: F
