Description
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.
