We are Peter and Sylvie. We have been living in Normandy since 2018 and we rent 2 gites, a mini campsite and a microbrewery. We rented the house we offer for sale to a friend. She has since moved and that is why we are offering it for sale. The house is located in the middle of the forest (Foret d'Ecouves) and is about 3 km from the village of Tanville. Here you will find all the peace and nature, with all amenities a short distance away.
