Description

We offer for sale this incredible estate, located near Alencon, less than 200km from Paris, 120km from the Normandy landing beaches, at the foot of the Ecouves state forest, on 14 hectares of land.

This prestigious property comprises several historic buildings, including a 19th-century château built on the site of a former 15th-century farmhouse.

On the courtyard side, an original pink-hued facade houses a restaurant seating approximately 60, renovated with materials sourced from around the world, period woodwork, kitchens, and a beautiful glass-roofed conservatory overlooking the park. On the park side, an imposing facade houses a spacious apartment, a reception room that can accommodate up to approximately 100 people with kitchens, restrooms, and a magnificent view of the park and the surrounding forest.

You will also find two gîtes, one in a wing of the château and a second, independent one in which each bedroom has a private bathroom, for a total of approximately 40 beds. All have been renovated, tastefully decorated, and are in perfect condition.

In the wooded park, a small cabin at the end of a lime tree-lined avenue offers unusual accommodation with a view of a pond and imposing, centuries-old cedar trees. There is also a vegetable garden, an orchard, and a chicken coop.

Then there are several stone outbuildings, which at the time comprised a former industrial farm, now used for storage, but also, in one case, as a "museum" entirely made up of authentic, meticulously reconstructed shopfronts.

This entire property is in perfect condition; the château's woodwork is new, and the decor has been carefully considered and executed with high-quality materials.

This inspiring and historically rich location could be ideal for hosting receptions, ceremonies, or catering events, offering a wide range of possibilities, and is perfectly situated just minutes from the city yet in the heart of the countryside.
