16th-century farm with pool between Lisieux and Pont-l'Évêque

An architectural gem in the heart of Norman Pays d'Auge

This exceptional 16th-century farm enjoys a privileged location between Lisieux and Pont-l'Évêque, in the picturesque Touques valley, whose river flows towards elegant Trouville and Deauville. Located in eastern Calvados, Normandy, the property offers direct access to Paris in just 1 hour 45 minutes from Lisieux train station, located just 6 km away.

The environment surrounding this rural house for sale perfectly reflects the typical Pays d'Auge landscape: hedged farmland, abundant pastures populated with Norman cattle and century-old apple trees, all framed by gentle rolling hills. The 155 apple trees of 12 varieties that populate the property produce approximately 20 tons of apples annually, keeping the region's agricultural tradition alive.

The property entrance, hidden behind tall trees at the village beginning, leads directly to the building complex. An ancient functioning bread oven and various historic constructions are harmoniously distributed across the 9.3 hectares of land, creating an atmosphere of unique serenity and authenticity.

Exceptional architectural heritage

Historic spaces that captivate the senses

The main house, built in the 16th century and extended in the 17th, represents an exemplary architectural example of Pays d'Auge. Its timber-framed walls rest on a solid stone masonry base, while the two-slope roof with flat tiles and four-sided dormers crown the ensemble with traditional elegance.

Original materials have been carefully preserved: historic naval-quality oak beams, square terracotta tile floors and exposed masonry create an atmosphere of exceptional authenticity. The small-paned windows protected by wooden shutters maintain historic character while offering privileged views of the surrounding landscape.

On the ground floor, a bright hall leads to the dining room with its monumental ashlar fireplace, an architectural masterpiece that dominates the space with its imposing lintel. The kitchen, the house's centerpiece, is magnificently lit by windows on three sides and heated by a sober ashlar fireplace. A small toilet and living room complete this floor, along with access to the basement housing the boiler room, laundry, cellar and charming brandy cellar.

The first floor accommodates three bedrooms with four-sided dormer windows and a large completely renovated bathroom. The attic under the eaves comprises a bedroom with strip parquet flooring and two additional rooms used for storage.

Complete residential complex with pool and outbuildings

The pool house maintains the same authentic Norman architecture, distinguished by its four-slope roof and vast fully glazed veranda offering panoramic views of the rural landscape. On its ground floor, a large hall connects with a shower room, equipped kitchen and double living room with carved wooden fireplace. The parquet floors with wooden patterns create a uniform and elegant atmosphere.

This building's attic houses three bedrooms, a bathroom and toilet, all lit by four-sided dormers and skylights. Next to this house is the 107 m² pool, built in 2021 with saline electrolysis and topped with a sliding cover allowing swimming enjoyment for more months of the year.

Historic outbuildings and landscaped gardens

The independent 89 m² caretaker's house, built with the same traditional materials, features a slate two-slope roof and houses a main room with fireplace and wood stove, kitchen with dining area, bathroom, toilet and four bedrooms in the attic. Currently rented, providing additional income.

The partially converted barn offers two garages, storage areas, water point and toilets, with great potential for future projects. The historic functioning bread oven adds a touch of authenticity that fascinates visitors and residents.

The landscaped gardens include various shrubs and flower beds with hydrangeas, camellias, rhododendrons and diverse rose varieties. Noble species like magnolias, catalpas, ginkgo bilobas, copper beeches, cedars and northern red oaks stand out among the vegetation, creating an atmosphere of great natural beauty.
