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-Poêles both within easy reach and the nearby river Vire has some lovely walks and picnic spots.
