Description
A36597SIS35 - A Captivating Country Estate Near Mont-Saint-Michel – A Lifestyle, a Retreat, an Opportunity
Nestled in the serene Breton countryside, this enchanting estate lies just under 4 km from the quaint village of Pleine-Fougères and only 17 km from the iconic Mont-Saint-Michel. Adding to its exceptional location, it is also conveniently close to Normandy’s border — just 30 km from the historic town of Avranches and 7 km from charming Pontorson, the gateway to Mont-Saint-Michel.
Tucked away in this peaceful heartland, the estate invites you to embrace a slower pace of life while tapping into one of France’s most visited tourist regions. Whether you’re dreaming of a family home, a gîte business, or a retreat centre, this property blends comfort, history, and location in perfect harmony.
Set on over half a hectare of beautifully landscaped gardens, the estate comprises a charming main house, three fully equipped gîtes, and multiple outbuildings — all surrounded by tranquil farmland and timeless views. With TGV access to Paris from nearby Dol-de-Bretagne (18 km), ferry connections from Saint-Malo, and air links via Rennes, this hidden gem is more connected than you might think.
A Home Full of Heart and Soul
The main residence offers spacious, character-filled interiors designed for both entertaining and peaceful living. From the warm, open-plan kitchen-diner with its wood-burning stove to the cosy TV lounge and versatile games room or office, the house is full of charm. Upstairs, the luxurious principal suite with a roll-top bath and walk-in wardrobe offers a private retreat, while two additional bedrooms and a large top-floor suite provide flexible living for family or guests.
A converted two-bedroom gîte, attached yet fully independent, features its own stylish kitchen, sunny living space, and private terrace — ideal for short-term lets or guest accommodation.
Gîtes That Tell a Story
Each of the estate’s gîtes has its own unique charm:
* A first-floor gîte with countryside views, above two workshops, offers a spacious balcony, light-filled living room, and two tranquil bedrooms — perfect for romantic getaways or small families.
* A quaint Normandy-style cottage delivers cosy appeal with a wood-burning stove, sunken terrace, and panoramic views, ideal for writers, couples, or those seeking digital detox escapes.
A Destination for Themed Stays
Set in a region rich with natural beauty, cultural landmarks, and outdoor adventure, this property is perfectly placed to appeal to themed tourism markets:
* Cycling Tourists: Situated near scenic cycling routes and the Tour de Manche coastal trail, the property is an excellent base for bike lovers, with space to store gear and enjoy post-ride relaxation.
* Eco-Tourists: With mature gardens, opportunities for permaculture or solar development, and proximity to bird reserves and the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, it’s ideal for guests seeking green escapes.
* History Enthusiasts: From Mont-Saint-Michel to medieval villages, WWII landmarks, and local abbeys, the area offers an immersive experience for history lovers and heritage travellers.
A Rare Opportunity with Endless Possibilities
Whether you're envisioning a peaceful family home, an income-generating gîte business, or a themed retreat attracting guests from around the world, this versatile estate has the space, style, and setting to make it a success.
