Dating back to the early 1700's, this traditional farmhouse has a 3-bed main house and 2-bed gite, both beautifully renovated and presented. Ouside, the house has stunning views of the surrounding countryside and a lovely garden. Vire and Villedieu-les-Poeles both within easy reach and the nearby river Vire has some lovely walks and picnic spots.
The accommodation layout is versatile and if you wanted to supplement the gite income with running a B&B as well, that could work well. There is a total 225m2 habitable space. Here's the layout:
