This property is located in Normandy, a land of sea and river meanders, in the depths of the Eure area, not far from the river of the same name and meanders of the Seine, in the middle of nature, close to a forest. There are several convenience stores in a nearby village only 3 kilometres away, while the nearest village of touristic interest with much more shops is 9 kilometres away. The best local producers can be found at its Sunday market. The public forest 7 kilometres away is much appreciated and visited by walkers, cyclists or horse riders. A little further away, the Boucles de la Seine Normande regional natural park boasts an array of escapades in the very midst of an age-old natural environment. There is an 18-hole golf course 15 minutes away and a nautical base 16 kilometres away where all water sports can be enjoyed. Thanks to the A13 motorway 8 kilometres away, the 115 kilometres to the French capital can be covered in 1 hour 30 minutes. The nearest SNCF railway station is 15 kilometres away, while Rouen and Évreux are 30 kilometres away.
At the end of an 8-kilometre-long green plateau, made up of expanses of fields here and there, a road leads up to the edge of the property that once belonged to the estate of the castle built nearby. Today, it is surrounded by stone walls and can be accessed via a tall wrought-iron gate.
