Small Manors for sale - Looking for a small mansion in Europe?

The demand for smaller manor houses, which are particularly suitable for exclusively private residential purposes, has risen continuously in recent years on the real estate portals. There are certainly various explanations for this boom in real estate searches for an old house in the countryside: Changed living and working conditions, an improved infrastructure in the countryside as well as rising rents and purchase prices explain the flight from the big cities and urban centers. Many people see a small old manor house in the countryside as an ideal basis for realizing individual living needs. Compared to castles or big mansions, refurbishment and renovation work is significantly less complex and yet should not be underestimated in its entirety, especially with regard to any monument status.

#smallmanors often have only one floor, but are often still larger than today's single-family homes. Another aspect that owners and residents of a manor house appreciate: For artists and creative professionals, living and working in the rural idyll provides inspiration for their work - a life close in harmony with nature and a serenity that resists any sensory overload.
