Ref. 3881 Former 18th C. hunting lodge for sale at 1 hour from Versailles

The property is located in the south of the Eure department bordering the Eure et Loir, at the gateway to Normandy, bordering the Perche and the Pays d'Ouche. This former Anglo-Norman style hunting lodge offers a restful country setting while benefiting from the immediate proximity of the neighboring towns providing most of the shops and services.
The ancient medieval stronghold of Verneuil sur Avre is just a stone's throw away; today a medium-sized town of nearly 10,000 souls with a remarkable historical heritage that has earned the honorable distinction of being one of the 100 most beautiful detours in France. This is the setting available to candidates looking for a quality of life less than 100 km from the capital.
Dedicated to tourism, the Avre region offers numerous cultural and sporting activities (Golf, GR22, fishing, hunting, horseback riding, tourist routes, weekly markets, Center Parc, classified heritage, gastronomy...).

The dwelling is in a very Norman style, obviously reminiscent of the Anglo-Norman villas that shape the Deauville coast. A massive configuration topped by tiled roofs with multiple slopes proudly finished by a turret, from which emerge numerous dormers or dormers.

The main structure is made of flint with many brick openings on the first floor, the first floor reminds us that we are at the gates of Normandy. As for the gable, it has been the object of a particular architectural research having succeeded in harmoniously gathering stone of grison, wood sides, bricks and coatings.

On the ground floor: Central entrance (cabochon floor) with corridor and departure of massive wooden staircase. On the right dining room with fireplace, kitchen (insert), back kitchen and technical room to follow; on the left office with fireplace, living room to be totally renovated of 35sqm (fireplace and woodwork) with bow window, communication with a large living room (54sqm) with parquet floor (herringbone), decorated ceiling and brick fireplace. Nice height under ceiling at 3,05m. Adjoining room of 16sqm without affectation.

An English-style park beautifully planted with all species (oaks, lindens, maples, acacias, chestnut trees) surrounds the immediate surroundings of the property. Flowers and hornbeams pleasantly complete the very green decor of the park.
Some fruit trees (apple trees, cherry trees, walnut trees) and an old vegetable garden.

The property is surrounded by 3 other houses from which it is separated by a wall and hedges ensuring the privacy of a small hamlet.

A rural road delimits a large grassy plot of land which can be built on up to 2000sqm on 1 ha.
This constructibility authorizes numerous projects for investors or industrialists, traders in need of premises. The proximity of the main roads and the economic area of Verneuil sur Avre/Nonancourt make this property a commercial site worthy of interest.

Nevertheless, the pastures will also lend themselves perfectly to the reception of horses by their proximity to the property and the existing access and parking facilities.
The whole for a total of 9,21 acres (3,73ha).
