Description

A character home at the gateway to the Le Haras-du-Pin. Some houses tell a story before you even cross the threshold. This is one of them.

Nestled in the heart of Exmes, one of those typical, unspoiled villages that lend charm to the hills surrounding Le Haras-du-Pin,this 18th-century stone and half-timbered residence has endured through the ages without ever losing its soul.

Facing the church and its Romanesque portal, the house stands out thanks to its stone gable featuring a projecting window and its half-timbered façade, a picture-perfect scene of Normandy.

Stepping through the small gate into the enclosed, tree-filled garden, you discover a warm interior where stone and wood complement one another: an entrance hall-library with a cathedral ceiling, a living room with a crackling open fireplace, a dining room with antique terracotta floor tiles, a well-appointed separate kitchen, and two bedrooms plus a study tucked away in the attic space.

The spacious, leafy garden holds another surprise: a brick and half-timbered outbuilding topped with flat tiles, fully converted into a guest house with two bedrooms and a shower room. It offers the perfect setup for hosting family and friends or running a holiday rental business.

Located just 4 km from the Haras du Pin, 20 minutes from the Argentan train station (with direct links to Paris), and 11 minutes from the shops in Gacé, this property combines everything one looks for in a successful Norman holiday home: authenticity, tranquility, and a wonderful lifestyle.

Sure to capture the hearts of Normandy heritage lovers.

Ideal as a holiday home or Guest Gite.

The department of Orne, in Lower Normandy is bordered by the other two departments in the region, Manche and Calvados. It is located in the south of the region bordering with Mayenne, Sarthe, Eure et Loir and Eure. It is the only Normandy department without a coastline.

Orne’s history was built through war, destruction and chaos but also through prosperity so don’t worry it is a calm and peaceful place to live and visit now! It has rolling countryside, open meadows and boasts some of the best weekly markets in France.

Nowadays you can still see vestiges from all the troubled periods, as well as modern architecture that followed WWII. Nice property in the area is easy to find and reasonably priced.
