Description

A43848SIS35 - Luxury Maison de Maître with Gîte & Boutique Hospitality Potential
Trans-la-Forêt, Brittany – Near Mont-Saint-Michel

Accessed via a private drive, this elegant wisteria-clad Maison de Maître offers refined country living in one of Brittany’s most sought-after rural settings. Surrounded by approximately 7,500 m² of landscaped grounds with a private natural pond, shaded terraces and tranquil garden “rooms,” the property combines timeless French character with modern comfort — an ideal lifestyle retreat with immediate income potential.

The main residence, extending to approximately 270 m², has been carefully restored, blending original architectural features with bespoke oak joinery, quality finishes and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor. The home is designed for both relaxed living and welcoming guests, with four beautifully appointed en-suite bedrooms that lend themselves perfectly to boutique bed-and-breakfast use.

Entering via the spacious kitchen with sitting area, a wood-burning stove creates a warm and inviting atmosphere for cozy evenings. Direct access leads to the rear gardens and terraces. Beyond, the main salon and dining room showcase the historic charm of the property, centered around a striking fireplace with wood burner — a natural gathering space for entertaining.

An original wooden staircase leads to the first-floor landing serving two generous suites. The principal bedroom overlooks the landscaped garden and private pond, featuring a luxurious en-suite bathroom with roll-top bath and separate walk-in shower. A large purpose-built storage wall creates a feature and ample wardrobe space. The second bedroom offers built-in storage and an equally refined en-suite with roll-top bath and separate shower.

The second floor, with exposed beams under the eaves, offers two additional en-suite bedrooms — one with roll-top bath and separate shower, and the other with a stylish en-suite shower room.

Across the graveled courtyard sits a fully independent, single-level one-bedroom gîte (approx. 72 m²), ready to rent immediately. It includes a lounge with large stone fireplace and wood burner, kitchen with dining area, luxury bathroom with roll-top bath and walk-in shower, and a bedroom opening directly onto a private terrace and garden. Underfloor heating and a heat pump ensure year-round comfort. This space also offers flexibility for guest accommodation, extended family, or caretaker quarters.

Three original stone outbuildings complete the courtyard. Planning permission has been granted for conversion into three additional gîtes (two one-bedroom and one two-bedroom), with initial work started and a drainage system already installed. These buildings could also be adapted into studio space, workshops, offices, wellness facilities or creative retreat areas depending on your vision.

The landscaped gardens form a true relaxing setting, with a peaceful pond and wooden decking area providing shaded seating overlooking the water, partly covered by fragrant wisteria. Mature trees throughout the gardens create natural shade, while different sections offer privacy, relaxation and outdoor dining — perfect for long summer evenings.

The location offers exceptional lifestyle appeal. Set in peaceful countryside with no close neighbors, the property is surrounded by walking trails, cycling routes and nature tourism opportunities. The iconic Mont-Saint-Michel is approximately 20 km away, while the charming towns of Dol-de-Bretagne (18 km), Combourg (15 km), Pontorson (13 km) and Bazouges-la-Pérouse (approximately 23 km) provide weekly markets, restaurants, history and cultural attractions.

Accessibility is excellent for travel and guests:
• Dol-de-Bretagne TGV station – approx. 18 km, with direct connections to Paris
• Rennes Airport – approx. 65 km, with flights to Paris, London Gatwick and Amsterdam
• Saint-Malo ferry port – approx. 42 km, with crossings to the UK and Channel Islands
• Caen ferry port – approx. 150 km via A84
• Cherbourg ferry port – approx. 165 km
• Easy access to the N176 dual carriageway within 10 minutes’ drive

Village amenities are just 1.5 km away, offering convenience while maintaining complete tranquility.

This distinguished country estate offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the French lifestyle — whether as a refined private residence, an immediately operational gîte business, or a boutique hospitality retreat with further development potential.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
