Why the owner chose a home in this location
We bought the presbytery 4 years ago; it was a 'coup de coeur'. Serge saw the advertising in a religious newspaper. He was so excited, we went visiting it and we fallen in love with this place.
Serge and I thought we could do it as to offer to our 3 children and friends original way of life in this unique place.
We have a lot of pleasure spending all our week-ends and holiday taking care of our house and its garden.
Unique benefits of the property
We love cooking and spending time in the kitchen or in the living room in front of the fireplace.
we spend a lot of time surrounding and visiting famous places: Mont Saint Michel, old town of Caen, D Day landing beaching.....
Serge does kite surf on the Manche, Clementine and Angelique are keen of riding horses, Marin practices bicycle. When friends come to see us, we walk in the countryside, go to Saint Pierre sur Dives old market place on Mondays. Children do 'climbing in trees' in the village.
The 5 of ours love sharing moment with others in Olendon.
We love resting in this peaceful magic place, we appreciate the garden with all its flowers and swimming pool.
