Le Meule - 17th century manor house

17th century manor with 5 beds upstairs; 2 receptions, kitchen, bath, utility, sep toilet downstairs, outbuildings. Stream runs thrrough land with lake watermill and lake. Two potable water sources with bottling potential. Originally exquisite garden now overgrown and unkempt. Ideal for development.

Features


This property is in an exquisitely beautiful part of Normandy with scree hills with pristine forests along the south. A small bubbling stream runs through the length of the property and there is a bridge and a sluice gate with watermill. There are two sources of pristine potable and bottleable artesian water filtered through the hills. The land is in two lobes with a narrow connection and in one lobe is the main house, watremill and a older norman outbuilding and wine store. The other lobe can be used for possible development and is adjacent to the picturesque village of Torduet.

The house is two storied and dates back to the 17th century with five bedrooms on the upper floor, two very large with magnificent views. The ground floor has two large receptions, one with a large fireplace and a bathroom, utility room and a kitchen with a small conservatory and a toilet. There is a massive loft space.

The garden in this lobe used to be stylised and magnificent but has gone to seed over the last decade and the house is also in need to repair. The lake is overgrown and needs to be dug up again.

Twenty years ago, I bought the property for aroung 200K sterling and find that I do not have the time to devote to this property or develop the water or the land. The potential is massive and because the property is in a state of decay, the cost is also low whcih means that it is an ideal opportunity for those who have the time and resources to restore the strue state and harvest the potential of the property.

The water mill is a small gabled building and can produce electricity. It can also be used as a small house.

If the water source is used for bottling, the sky is the limit. I had presented this to the local authority in Lisieux and they were very keen. France has glacial water (Evian) and volcanic reservoir water (Volvic) and this could be the third artesian source.

Main Facilities


I am not describing and detailing the facilities because the house needs renovation for a few months.

Location


Rural

The location is a beautiful valley cut by a small stream. The scenery is beautiful by a bubbling brook and the moonlit nights are unforgettable.

Travel


Directions: From Lisieux take the road D519 to Orbec. At the village to La Chapelle Yvon there is a traffic light where you will turn right along the road D161 to Torduet. You will cross a small bridge over the river Orbiquet and go through a crossroad. A hundred yards further on the left there is a row of conifers and a gate. This is the driveway to the manor house whcih is partially hidden from view behind trees.

Pricing Notes

This price would mean that I would get most of the money that I paid 20 years ago. Ideally, I would hopefully look for a higher price given the huge water bottling and development potentials. But, to be fair, teh property is in a very scruffy state and the photos of the house and gardens date some years back when the property was maintained.
