seaside castles for sale Brittany, France

Without equal in the entire bay, from Cancale to Fréhel, the Domaine de La Vieux Ville is discovered through a long avenue of green oaks, through fields (7 hectares) and completely surrounded by thick woods (8 hectares). Solidly implanted on top of the Grande Plage, the Manor (600 m2 on three levels) offers an breathtaking sea view of the Ébihens Islands, Cézembre and on clear days, the Chausey Islands on the horizon. All around the manor, a harmonious combination of small buildings (8) nestled in the midst of a 1-hectare kitchen garden allows for a family project where everyone will find their place. So close to the Saint-Cast church, whose bell tower alone emerges from the woods, equidistant from the deep-water port and its 18-hole golf course (800m as the crow flies), between land and sea, it is not uncommon to see three deer strolling peacefully in the frame of a window.

Ref.4913 : 30 min from the sea, 18th-C. Noble townhouse near Moncontour (Brittany) Moncontour is a historic town in the heart of Brittany, ideally situated almost equidistant from Saint-Brieuc, Lamballe and Loudéac. A true gem of Brittany's medieval heritage, it invites visitors to wander through its cobbled streets, admire its half-timbered houses and stroll along its impressive fortified ramparts. Once a stronghold of the County of Penthièvre, Moncontour also owes its prosperity to the production of berlingue, a high-quality linen and hemp cloth that was exported as far as the East Indies during the town's flourishing trading era. The only commune in the Côtes-d'Armor department to hold both the prestigious "Petite Cité de Caractère®" and "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France®" designations, Moncontour is renowned for the richness of its architectural heritage, its authenticity and its remarkably well-preserved history. Situated in a village just a few minutes from Moncontour, the property enjoys convenient access to a full range of everyday amenities. A bakery, supermarket, pharmacy, medical practice, post office, garage and cinema are all within easy reach, offering an exceptionally practical and enjoyable lifestyle.

Réf.4958 : A former corsair city with a remarkable heritage, Saint-Malo offers a rare balance between art de vivre, economic vitality and openness to the sea. Home to nearly 50,000 inhabitants and linked to Paris in just 2 hours 30 minutes by TGV high-speed train, the town makes for comfortable everyday living, whether as a second home or all year round. Just a ten-minute drive from the ramparts of Saint-Malo, the atmosphere of this property offers a striking contrast with the bustle of the corsair city. Once through the gate, a long drive lined with greenery leads up to the chateau, gradually giving way to a sense of calm and tranquillity. Ground floor: front steps lead to the entrance, set in the small brick tower. It opens onto a study, then a dining room of theatrical proportions and a vast drawing room opening onto the terrace, itself edged with an elegant granite balustrade. The spacious, welcoming kitchen extends into a laundry room. Tucked away in the main tower is a secluded study, whose striking Neo-Gothic wooden ceiling catches the eye. The wine-coloured marble fireplace further enhances the warm and authentic atmosphere of the whole. The main drawing room and the kitchen enjoy a dual aspect that gives them particularly pleasant light. The first floor is served by a main oak staircase, complemented by a service staircase. Four bright and practical bedrooms, a large bathroom and two shower rooms are spread across the floor. The largest bedroom is complemented by a charming small round study set in the tower. The two staircases make it possible to consider independent access to the different rooms, while retaining the very pleasant dual aspect of the two master bedrooms. The second floor, with its sloping ceilings, has been fitted out in the attic. In addition to the fifth bedroom, it currently serves as a games and sports area. It also benefits from double access via the two staircases and offers a generous floor area with the potential for several additional bedrooms. From every level, the open views over the park are a reminder of the exceptional character of this property: although set in an urban environment, it remains wrapped in a peaceful, residential atmosphere. Lower ground floor: most of the house rests on a set of eleven cellars lit by basement windows. Total living area: 504.25 sqm. The property extends over 3.52 acres. A handsome drive leads up to the chateau through its romantic park. Pines, cypresses and oaks, some of them well over a hundred years old, make up this fine wooded setting. The large lawn opens out among the trees and is dotted with laurels, hydrangeas and rhododendrons, which bring their changing shades of colour through the seasons. A rare setting in Saint-Malo, where a vast landscaped park gives the property a feeling of being in the heart of nature, while remaining just a few minutes from the town centre and the coast.
