Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This magnificent home in the Normandy landscape has a long history – and now lucky guests can add their own chapter to the manor's story. Whether your volume will be a family reunion, a glorious countryside retreat or even a fabulous wedding is entirely up to you. The house is situated on the site of a medieval building dating back to the 11th century and was completed on the eve of the French Revolution. With 350 acres of land, along with the main house, an orangerie, and a farm, there's plenty of space to roam on this sprawling estate. Challenge your friends to a round of pool in the games room, sip wine in the sunny garden, or settle down with a good book in the library – however you want to spend your days, this home can cater to your every desire. And, when evening rolls around, you can serve up a delicious meal in the formal dining room, created just for you by a private chef using local ingredients. From here, you can wander into the village of Le Merlerault in just ten minutes to pick up fresh produce at the weekly market or taste some Normandy cider... at the wine cellar. A fifteen-minute drive will bring you to the city of Seés, with its Gothic cathedral, and a twenty-five-minute drive will take you to the Parc Naturel Régional du Perche, where you can hike through the picturesque parkland.

About Normandy
Normandy is a region steeped in history and culture, with stunning landscapes at every turn. It's home to picturesque towns and villages, white chalk cliffs, pristine beaches, and celebrated landmarks. Our suggestion is Mont Saint Michel – an island topped with a striking medieval abbey that seems to rise right out of the sea. It's one of France's most unique and visited attractions, with gothic architecture, ramparts and narrow streets...

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
