Stud Farm and training centre with 2 houses, groom accommodation, 23 hectares and stabling for 50 horses

The Stud Farm and training centre would lend itself to an owner /occupier with a second yard rented out as there is separate living accommodation, yard and grazing, groom's accommodation for both installations, and some shared facilities.  The 3 bedroom bungalow was completed in 2009.  The separate detached house is at the other end of the yard.  Over 20 racetracks within 60 Km. Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is located  in the Orne, Normandy region, in the north of France at 48 km from Alencon, the department capital. It is 148 km from Paris and 259 km from Calais.  Popular places to visit nearby include Argentan at 27 km, Sees at 28 km and Falaise 38 km.  The ferry port at Caen Ouistreham is 65 km.
