A listed Moorish Revival villa opposite Ile de la Comtesse on the Goëlo coast in Brittany, with panoramic sea views. With the rising popularity of sea bathing at the end of the 19th century, a new type of seaside architecture emerged along the French coast, designed for relaxation and turned towards the outdoors. Residences in a variety of bold styles flourished on the shores of the Goëlo region. Built on a hilltop, the 'Turkish Villa' was erected by the Count de la Lande de Calan around 1880. Extended in 1906, it offers uninterrupted views of the sea and the port. The house is part of a co-owned plot with an adjoining 4-star hotel. Access to the property is unrestricted. One parking space is reserved for the villa's residents, and five others can be made available on an occasional basis. The entrance is on the western facade. Extensive vegetation, combined with a coursed granite masonry supporting wall with a balustrade, ensures privacy. A large bed of rosebushes precedes the wall and balusters, with a profusion of agapanthus as a backdrop. Two well-trimmed conifer hedges mark the entrance. Between these, a small staircase leads to an esplanade and to a granite approach stair serving the solid wood entrance door, carved in the shape of a horseshoe arch.

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.
