House buy in Neuville Normandie

Spectacular Maison de Maitre with Mill race and river frontage with over 3 acres This gorgeous Maison de Maitre was formerly a Paper Mill and it stands in a wooded valley just outside the major Town of Vire-Normandie. A long, private gravel drive leads to the 4 car Carport and outbuilding to the front of the house. The property is presented in excellent condition throughout and benefits from oil fired central heating, double glazed windows, high ceilings and light and airy rooms. There are approximately 4,500m2 of formal gardens which have a river on the boundary and the rest has been left more natural. The Mill race runs under the property and could be harnessed for generating electricity. There is the additional benefit of a self-contained annexe or gite if required. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate this property. This property is situated in the south of the department of Calvados within 5 minutes from the centre of Vire. The 18 hole golf course is within a few minutes drive. The property is within easy access of all facilities including a train service to Paris (2 hours 30 minutes) and about an hour's drive south from the port of Ouistreham, Caen , the landing beaches and an hour inland from the breathtaking bay of the Mont St Michel to the west.
