Description

A Historic Normandy Manor on the Alabaster Coast

Nestled within a private, ten-acre clos-masure estate in the picturesque Normandy countryside, this meticulously restored French Renaissance manor offers an elegant escape steeped in history and natural beauty. Dating back to 1544, the residence has been thoughtfully revived using sustainable, natural materials, masterfully blending timeless architectural charm with refined modern comfort. Its privileged position offers serene, sweeping views of protected fields of blooming blue flax, a vibrant, ever-changing tapestry that enhances the home’s tranquil ambience.

Spanning three levels, the home’s interiors reveal carefully preserved character alongside considered updates. The living spaces, encompassing 1,770 square feet, include a welcoming fireplace and are equipped with high-speed wireless internet and a sophisticated home theatre system for evening entertainment. Five well-appointed bedrooms provide peaceful repose for guests, complemented by two modern baths. The estate’s grounds are an extension of the living experience, featuring a firepit, an outdoor grill, and bicycles for exploring the tranquil lanes.

Beyond the estate’s gates, the captivating Alabaster Coast awaits. The property is a short walk from the highest point in Seine-Maritime, offering breathtaking panoramas, and is merely a twenty-minute drive from the iconic Elephant Trunk cliff at Étretat, immortalised by Monet. This elegant home serves as a perfect sanctuary for those seeking a refined connection to history, art, and the stunning natural landscape of Normandy.
