About this place

Le Manoir de Dougeru is an exceptional manor house built between the 16th and 17th centuries, officially protected as a Listed Historic Monument (Monument Historique). The estate stretches across 3.98 acres of private land, surrounded by tranquil, hedged farmland in Southern Manche, providing an authentic Norman countryside experience.

The property features a stunning collection of historic buildings framing a beautiful courtyard, including the main manor house, a chapel, a pigeonnier (dovecote), and a stable and barn. The manor's architecture showcases robust granite stone, an elegant round tower, and projecting pavilions that accentuate its historical significance. The elevated position ensures commanding views over the rolling, wooded countryside, particularly from the spacious upstairs rooms.

Inside, the manor house balances period grandeur with practical living. The grand entrance hall with a stone-paved floor leads to reception areas, including a salon with a monumental granite fireplace. The kitchen, accessible from both the salon and hall, flows into a distinguished dining room featuring a unique round tower staircase, enhancing the ideal setting for entertaining. The upper floors offer spacious sleeping quarters, consisting of four large bedrooms and a smaller children's bedroom, all benefiting from natural light and historical features. The top floor provides a dedicated study area and a library beneath the original roof frame, creating a secluded space for work or quiet contemplation.

Buying property in France

Full guide →

France places no restrictions on foreign property ownership. The notaire (a public official, not a lawyer for either side) handles the conveyance and is paid by the buyer. A French bank account is strongly recommended for completion funds and ongoing charges.

  1. 1

    Make an offer

    Offers are usually verbal or via the estate agent (agent immobilier). Once accepted, the agent drafts the offer letter.

  2. 2

    Sign the compromis de vente

    Preliminary contract setting price, conditions, and a 5–10% deposit held in escrow. Buyer has a 10-day statutory cooling-off period after signing.

  3. 3

    Engage a notaire

    Buyer and seller can share one notaire or use separate ones at no extra cost — fees are fixed by law and split.

  4. 4

    Searches & conditions

    Notaire runs title, planning, and mortgage searches; mortgage conditions (clause suspensive) typically allow 45 days to secure financing.

  5. 5

    Final funds & pre-completion

    Transfer balance plus all notaire fees to the notaire's account a few days before signing.

  6. 6

    Sign the acte de vente

    Final deed signed at the notaire's office (in person or by power of attorney). Keys handed over.

  7. 7

    Registration

    Notaire registers the sale at the Service de la Publicité Foncière and sends the buyer a certified copy (attestation) within weeks; the full deed follows in 2–6 months.

No residency requirement to buy. Non-resident mortgages available from French banks, typically 70–80% LTV with stricter affordability checks. France abolished taxe d'habitation on primary residences (2023) but it still applies to second homes — and many communes now apply a surcharge of up to 60% on second homes in high-demand zones.

General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
