Two Stone Houses, Mortain, Manche

Property Description

This is a property that comes with fantastic opportunities. Two independent stone houses, 5 hectares of land, two lakes and planning permission to install a lakeside cabin. All just 2km from the lovely town of Mortain. The property also has good access to the Voie Vert cycle route network.





One of the properties is the original farmhouse, the other is a barn conversion.  It would be possible to create separate access points onto the property if required.  Video tours are also available but here’s the layout of the two houses:

The property sits on a plot of approx 5 hectares which is made up of the gardens terrace, fields and, of course, the lake area.  The lakes are on a separate plot to the houses.  Each lake is approximately 500m2 and they were originally created by the current owner so that they could have a natural water source.  He now has planning permission to build a cabin by the lakes (although this permission should be checked with the local mayor before proceeding to make sure all is in order.





The property is just 2km from Mortain - so a bracing walk, or an easy bike ride.  Mortain has a good range of amenities, including a very good bakery and restaurant as well as a good selection of shops.  There’s also plenty of interest for tourist visitors.  The Grand Cascade of Mortain, aka ‘the biggest waterfall in the west’ is particularly popular and there are plenty of walking routes and rock climbing.  Talking of biking, the house sits close to the  voie Verte cycle route network, so day-trips on two wheels are very easy to arrange.





The larger town of Vire is about 20mins from the property should you need any of the larger shops or supplies.  Major towns such as Domfront, Avranches, St Lo, Falaise, Bayeux and Honfleur are all within easy reach.  Caen / Ouistreham and St Malo ferry ports are equidistant and the beach is just under an hour away.
