The property comes with 2935m2 (0.72 acres) of land. This consists of a lawned garden with a lovely selection of fruit trees and wonderful countryside views. 





There are two outbuildings, the first is currently used as a workshop and laundry room, the second is larger and is divided into 3 separate spaces. Both of these, once renovated and subject to the relevant permissions, would make fantastic gites. 





Location: 





The property is in a peaceful and private location, surrounded by fields in the heart of the Perche National Park. The popular market town of Belleme, with its excellent weekly produce market is within easy reach (10min drive). 





Unlike much of northern France, Le Perche has retained its forests and wildlife thanks in part to its hilly terrain. Wild-boar still roam free in the forests here!


Think typical bocage countryside of small fields, thick broad-leaved forests and picturesque stone villages.





As well as its natural beauty Le Perche region is also known for its gastronomy and its cider.  Nearby towns and cities to explore include Le Mans, Alençon, Mortagne-au-Perche, Nogent and Beaumont-sur-Sarthe.





Le Perche is drier, with hotter summers and colder winters than the rest of Normandy—paradise for apples, which achieve maximum flavor with dramatic swings in temperature. It’s therefore not surprising that this area has some of the best cider in Normandy. 





Le Perche is rural Normandy at its very best.
