Ranville, Charente 14860

This elegant 18th-century castle, known as "Bellevue," stands a short distance from the historic center of Caen and the Riva Bella beaches, overlooking the Orne River. It was a significant location during the events of the 1944 landings. Beyond the daily needs greatly met by the nearby city of Caen, this property enjoys an ideal geographical placement, allowing for quick access to road and highway networks, as well as the railway system. It is an attractive option for candidates looking to reach the capital in about three hours. The castle features a main body rising over three levels topped with a slate mansard roof, adorned with dormer windows. It is composed of seven perfectly symmetrical bays typical of its era. The central bay is crowned with a beautiful pediment featuring a charming oculus. A later addition extends the building. Upon opening the gate between two imposing stone pillars, one is welcomed into a magnificent wooded park of over 4000 m², partially enclosed by walls. With an interior area of approximately 340 m², perfectly renovated in a more modern style, the property is laid out as follows: On the ground floor: a lovely entrance hall with its elm staircase leading to either side, a kitchen with a fireplace and pantry, a lounge with a fireplace, moldings, and decorations, a dining room with views of the countryside, and a cozy library. On the first floor: a spacious landing leading to an east-facing parquet-floored bedroom with interior shutters, followed by a large bathroom with two sinks, a shower, and a bidet. To the west, there is a vast room leading to a bedroom overlooking the valley with its balcony, including a fireplace and alcove, a modern bathroom, and another bedroom with an elegant marble fireplace topped by a window. On the second floor, a long corridor provides access to the bedrooms and a bathroom. There is a wine cellar and a boiler room. At the back of the property is a dependency referred to as the "orangerie" and kennels. The park's beauty lies in the diversity of its majestic trees of varied species.
