Description

Just a few minutes from Carentan, surrounded by the quiet landscapes of Normandy’s Cotentin Peninsula, this beautifully renovated property enjoys a peaceful setting of rolling meadows and traditional hedgerows.

Built in 1949 during France’s postwar Reconstruction period, the house has been transformed through a comprehensive renovation carried out with exceptional attention to craftsmanship, durability, and energy efficiency. The result is a residence that combines understated architectural character with a remarkably high standard of modern comfort.

Offering approximately 3,455 square feet (321 m²) of living space, the property is arranged as two independent residences that can function separately or as a single home thanks to an existing internal connection.

The main residence, measuring approximately 2,270 square feet (211 m²), is centered around bright, welcoming living spaces overlooking the gardens. A spacious double living room opens onto a south-facing terrace, while the open kitchen naturally extends the entertaining areas. A generous billiards room completes the main level. Upstairs are five bedrooms and two shower rooms, one of which includes a sauna.

The second residence, entirely on one level and offering approximately 1,185 square feet (110 m²) of living space, has been designed with the same commitment to comfort and quality. It features a large living room, a separate kitchen, two bedrooms—including a suite with dressing room and private bath—and a home office. Whether used for multigenerational living, guest accommodations, or a hospitality venture, it provides complete independence while remaining connected to the main house.

Outside, the approximately 0.9-acre (3,700 m²) enclosed grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped. An asphalt courtyard provides ample parking behind an automated gate, while carefully selected ornamental plantings create an unexpectedly lush setting where olive trees, palms, and other frost-resistant species thrive alongside traditional Norman greenery.

At the heart of the garden, a heated 9-by-4-meter saltwater swimming pool is framed by exotic hardwood terraces and sheltered landscaping. A pool house completes this private outdoor retreat.

The property's outbuildings further enhance its versatility. A remarkable 1,915-square-foot (178 m²) barn, incorporated within the main complex and currently used as a badminton and fitness hall, offers impressive volumes and could easily accommodate a guest residence, professional space, studio, or any number of large-scale projects. A separate 1,980-square-foot (184 m²) storage building provides additional space for a workshop, classic-car collection, equipment storage, or other pursuits.

Technical amenities reflect the property's contemporary standards. Geothermal heating supplies radiant heated floors throughout, double-glazed security windows ensure excellent insulation, and a compliant micro-treatment wastewater system is in place. The property is connected to fiber-optic internet, the roof was completely renewed two years ago, and the home achieves the highest possible energy rating, with an A classification on its energy performance certificate.

Located just twenty-five minutes from Utah Beach and approximately thirty minutes from the magnificent beaches of western Cotentin, this property offers a rare combination of rural tranquility, modern comfort, and proximity to some of Normandy’s most celebrated coastal landscapes.
