Exceptional Estate in Normandy, just 15 min from Lisieux in Calvados, featuring a 1742 château enlarged in the 19th century and partially renovated (rooves and timberwork restored in 2016, structural work completed in 2025, west wing fully refurbished with 3 bedrooms over 110 m²).

Set in a listed 10-hectare (25 acres) English-style park created in 1820, the property hosts 800+ trees, including many century-old specimens across 50+ species among them one of Normandy’s tallest giant sequoias (50+ m) and other rare species.

Rich in history, once owned by Marquis de Baglioni, the estate includes several outbuildings: a 19th-century aviary turned into a 3-bedroom guesthouse (115 m²), a superb half-timbered building (to renovate), stables, and a shepherd’s house.

A rare and preserved haven, 40 km from the sea and 180 km west of Paris. All amenities nearby in Lisieux.
