About this property
Secluded house on huge private land
My secluded cottage is nestled in the heart of the Normandy countryside on a private 8000 m² plot with its own driveway. This remote house stands alone in the hills, with no neighbors nearby, and features a garden filled with cherry, apple, and walnut trees. From the driveway, you can step straight into lush meadows and charming French hamlets. A short drive away, you'll find Normandy's beaches, natural parks, castles, and medieval towns. A simple and authentic retreat, perfect for lovers of nature and tranquility.
The Cottage
Completely isolated, this property offers total peace and privacy. There are no owners or neighbors to disturb your stay. This 18th-century stone house is set amidst fields and rolling hills in one of France’s most picturesque rural landscapes. You can spend entire days relaxing at this peaceful farmhouse, surrounded by wildlife such as deer, owls, wild boars, foxes, and hares. After a day of exploring, unwind by the wood stove or enjoy the views from the covered terrace overlooking the valley and your private garden.
Nearby Attractions
From the parking area in front of the house, you have easy access to the region’s iconic sights: Mont-Saint-Michel and its abbey, Avranches and its castle, the sandy beaches of Jullouville and Granville, Normandy's renowned cuisine, the D-Day landing sites like Omaha Beach, museums in Caen and Bayeux, the Normandie-Maine Regional Natural Park, the Bayeux Tapestry, and the medieval towns of Domfront, Saint-Malo, Fougères, and Falaise with William the Conqueror’s castle. Don’t miss the Channel Islands of Guernsey and Jersey, as well as the local flea markets, small markets, and excellent restaurants that abound in the area.
Amenities
The cottage, simple yet full of charm, is ideal for hikers and nature lovers. It includes a living room with a kitchen, a spacious bedroom on the first floor, a small second bedroom, a large covered terrace, and a bathroom with a bathtub and toilet. The property is equipped with electricity, potable hot water, 4G internet signal, heating and air conditioning via a heat pump system, a wood stove, a gas stove with an oven, a fridge-freezer, and a washing machine. Cars can be parked directly in front of the house.
Practical Information
Bed linen and towels are not provided, but gas, water, electricity, and firewood for the stove are included in the price.
