Overview >
La Plissonnais is a stone-built Norman farm, originally dating from the late 17th Century. Resting on the edge of a peaceful river valley in southern Normandy, the farm was renovated in the mid-90s into a complex of three holiday properties that can be divided and let separately. The property features most of its original features, including ancient oak beams and granite fireplaces.
The property lies just a few miles east of the Brittany border, and is 90 minutes from the airports at Rennes and Dinard, and around the same distance from the ferry ports at Cherbourg and Caen. The port at St. Malo is just an hour away.
The entire property is set in around 1¼ acres of lawns and gardens and features the original farmhouse and adjoining gite, a studio, swimming pool and two unrestored outbuildings.
It is offered for sale for offers c. €275,000 (convert £, $), and is expected to be sold as a going concern or large family home. The property, while completely habitable, would benefit from some further modernisation, and presents an excellent canvas for your own dream home.
The property's ample space and accommodation provides an opportunity for a creative use, either as gites, maison d'hôte or perhaps a corporate retreat, art or cookery school.
