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.

Overlooking the Rance Valley from a naturally defensive and perfectly preserved position, the estate enjoys an exceptional setting, entirely free from disturbance. The terraced parkland unfolds a spectacular plunging view, offering deep and ever-changing perspectives across the valley, between meadows, woodland and distant horizons, within a protected environment. The manor house, the historic heart of the property, embodies a restrained yet powerful architectural style, characteristic of late Renaissance Breton seigneurial residences. Built in local stone, it is distinguished by its balanced proportions, regular fenestration and steeply pitched slate roofs. In immediate proximity, an independent chapel of remarkable purity of line enhances the estate’s singular and heritage character. The outbuildings are harmoniously arranged around the manor, contributing to the overall coherence of the property: former stone dependencies, partly converted into living space, along with annexes and technical buildings, offer significant potential for reinterpretation. An independent caretaker’s house completes the ensemble. The landscaped grounds, structured in successive terraces, follow the natural topography and reveal a sequence of distinct settings. The relationship to the landscape is ever-present: each vantage point captures the valley in a commanding panoramic perspective, lending the property a truly contemplative yet sovereign dimension. At the crossroads of history, architecture and nature, this is a rare estate, destined for an ambitious vision — whether as a family residence, a reception domain, or a heritage asset to be revealed.
