Normandy Farmhouse with outbuildings, large pond, no neighbours surrounded by its own land!

The surroundings of this property offer a peaceful place to live, seemingly in the middle of nowhere!  However it is just a few minutes drive to Vire with all amenities and mainline train station to Paris.  There is room to extend the accommodation into the loft space, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission, or create a gîte or two in one of the outbuildings ….  Viewing is highly recommended.

This property is situated in the south of the department of Calvados.  There is an 18 hole golf course within a couple of minutes drive.  Stunning out-riding starts near the property and can be continued on to the Lake Dathée and further west to the Saint Sever forest. The property is a 5 minute drive from the town of Vire and about an hour’s drive south from the port of Ouistreham, Caen, the landing beaches and an hour inland from the breathtaking bay of the Mont St Michel to the west.
