A manor with 15th-century origins, with outbuildings and almost 13 hectares of meadows, on the Fringes of Rennes, in the middle of wooded countryside. The property can be reached from a small country road, along a no-through lane. The manor is a former rural and manorial complex whose origins date back to the 15th century. It is listed as part of France’s general cultural heritage and is set around a courtyard opening out onto a landscape of meadows and hedgerows. The property includes a main residence altered in the 18th century, a longhouse with a large reception room, as well as several outbuildings. The stone buildings, which are made of shale rubble stone and mainly topped with slate roofs, boast several features typical of Brittany’s architecture, such as a square staircase tower topped by a pavilion roof, ashlar surrounds on the openings and still visible rural volumes. Next to the manor, there are two wells, one of which is fitted with a submersible pump. The land is mainly made up of meadows, some of which are bordered by pastureland fences. A stream crosses through the centre of the property and runs below the patio of the longhouse, which dominates the surrounding countryside. An 8,200-m² area situated in the immediate vicinity of the main buildings is listed as a tourist attraction related natural zone, which allows the creation of tourist accommodation as well as the development of leisure activities and event hosting. The longhouse is declared as a holiday cottage and has reception capacity for 80 people and accommodation capacity for 15 people.

Demeures Marines presents "Flânerie", a character home nestled in the heart of the village of Sarzeau. Behind its stone walls lies a unique place, inhabited by nearly five centuries of history. The freshness of the ancient stones, the light that gently glides from one room to another... The house immediately envelops its visitors in a serene and reassuring atmosphere. Every detail tells a story, a time, a know-how, a forgotten romance, or a fragment of life passed down through the centuries. Built in the 16th century, this historic building offers approximately 177 square meters of living space. Once a customs outpost with origins lost in the history of the village, it has traversed the centuries with elegance. Its architecture reveals beautiful heritage elements: dovecotes integrated into the facade, ancient fireplaces, stained glass windows, woodwork, and authentic volumes.

A 19th-century watermill with a reception hall and five hectares of meadows and woods, nestled inland in Brittany but only 30 minutes from the coast. The former watermill is a stone building that stands in the hollow of a small wooded valley. A stream flows beside it, giving structure to the grounds. You reach the property via a tarmacked country lane that slopes down to the valley. You enter the grounds across a little bridge suitable for motor vehicles. This bridge edged with fencing painted white. Just beyond it, there is a circular driveway for turning back around. First, an outbuilding comes into view. It stands out for its broad, arched, panelled double door, painted blue and set in an ashlar surround. A flight of front steps covered with terracotta tiles with a patina of time leads up to this entrance door, beside which there is an outdoor wall lamp. The main building has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. It is crowned with a slate roof with three hipped dormers. The elevations are built of rubble stone and have plain windows. A stream and traces of a former millrace bear witness to the edifice’s original purpose as a watermill. Around the buildings, there are lawns, shrubs and tall trees, including oaks, beeches and a sequoia. This area leads to meadows and woods. Large parking areas have been created outside too. With its remarkable reception hall, professional kitchen and lavatory, the property used to be rented out as an events venue. Its facilities are ready to be used for special events again or they could be converted, for example to increase the liveable floor area or to build an indoor swimming pool.

A 1970s house with interiors inspired by Jacques Couëlle, set in a 4,000 m² garden and just 800 m from the beach, in Finistère. Set slightly back from the village, a small road used by local residents runs past a few houses before reaching the property. There are two separate driveways. One leads to the garage, the other to an area where several vehicles can be parked. On one side, three granite walls enclose the grounds and shield them from view and the wind. On the other side, the house is surrounded by a large garden with trees and flowers, as well as a terrace. A typical 1970s build, it is a three-storey property (including a basement) in an L-shape. The slate roof is gabled and features dormer windows. Windows with granite frames let light in through the rendered facades. The property was decorated during its construction in 1973 by a pupil of Jacques Couëlle, whose work is part of the architecture/sculpture movement, with its distinctive forms in sprayed concrete. Numerous paintings by the artist are displayed throughout the various rooms of the house. Set slightly back, behind the rocks, a granite rubble-stone outbuilding is used as a garage, workshop and games room on the upper floor. It is accessible by vehicle independently.

A 15th-century manor with reception rooms, 10 minutes from beaches on the Côte de Goëlo coast in northern Brittany. The property is nestled a few hundred metres from the local village in a bucolic backdrop. A solid grey gate of wrought iron leads into the grounds. It is framed between two granite pillars, one of which has an outdoor lamp fixed to it. On either side, a low wall and tall hedges give the property absolute privacy. The manor and its outhouses form a U shape. On the grounds, which cover almost one hectare, several spaces can be distinguished: there is an ornamental, tree-dotted garden embellished with flowers on the west side, a south-facing courtyard, and a car park on the east side. An annexe houses a covered swimming pool that looks out at the ornamental garden. And an events venue with a wooden floor adjoins an outhouse to form a large reception space. You enter the manor from a short driveway that leads from the wrought-iron gate. The edifice dates back to the 15th century, as a door surround upstairs and a spiral staircase indicate. The building has been redesigned several times over its long history. The year ‘1701’ is inscribed in the entrance door’s lintel. The dwelling is long and rectangular in shape. It has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. A gable slate roof crowns the house. The facade is made of pink rubble granite. Ashlar forms the window and door surrounds. There are many small-paned windows. The entrance door stands in a recess, beneath a rectangular window. A dormer with a triangular pediment gives character to the edifice’s west end. There is a secondary door beside a schist sundial that dates back to 1740. A cavity in the facade once formed an alcove for a dog. Opposite, there is a dome-covered well crowned with a granite cross. Pale gravel covers the courtyard. Wisteria grows up the facade.

A renovated manor house with a swimming pool, outbuildings and a private lake, 20 minutes from the French city of Rennes. The large 16th-century manor house stands beside its private lake. It is surrounded by more than one hectare of wooded grounds, through which a canal and waterfall flow. The renovated exterior is combined with a contemporary interior, which includes an extensive indoor swimming pool set in a space that connects to a sauna and steam room. The manor house offers 400m² of liveable floor area. It is completed with an 80m² self-contained apartment, a 40m² gîte and garages with a workshop that total 220m² in floor area. You first follow a large tree-lined drive that runs alongside a canal where ducks and moorhens frolic. The manor house then comes into view, in front of a vast lawn surrounded by majestic trees. The edifice is made of granite and is crowned with a slate roof. It has a main section with a ground floor and a first floor and windows set in surrounds of dressed stone. This section is flanked with two towers – one crowned with a pyramidal roof and the other with a steep hipped roof. In line with this main section, there is a long 19th-century section with timber extensions. These parts house a self-contained apartment and garages with a workshop. Standing at a right angle to the manor house, a granite outbuilding with a slate roof houses a gîte and garage. Parkland extends behind the manor house. There is a space for practising golf and lakeside terraces too. The lake is surrounded by weeping willows and silver poplars.

An elegant coastal hotel with an indoor swimming pool, a guesthouse and a 1,000m² tree-dotted garden in France’s Finistère department in Brittany. The name of this hotel – 'Ty Mad' – means 'good house' in Breton. The edifice has been called 'Ty Mad' ever since it was built in 1924. It has hosted travelling guests ever since then. It stands in a calm backdrop – a maze of narrow streets – near a 15th-century calvary and a 13th-century chapel. Its location is both remarkable and discreet. With its 15 bedrooms, this grand building offers a sweeping view of an unspoilt coastline from its commanding position. It stands less than 100 metres from a beach. It has four floors. Given its height, the edifice looks down at the houses that surround it, yet without blotting them out. Its elevations are made of rubble stone with pointing. They are plain and bear no distinctive ornamentation, apart from sculpted wooden ledges and wrought-iron guardrails fitted in front of the tall, evenly spaced windows. The slate roof was redesigned to integrate tall, broad dormers on the north and south roof slopes. A section with a flat zinc roof adjoins the northern elevation. It has two levels and is widely glazed along three sides of its upper half, like a conservatory. Its lower half, which leads out to the garden, houses an indoor swimming pool. This swimming pool room leads straight out to the garden through picture windows. The utility rooms have two levels and stretch to the western edge of the plot, sheltered behind stone walls.

A house from the 1980s and its outbuilding on a 2,000-m² property, which could be divided into smaller lots, 150 metres from the beach and a surfing area, on the shores of Audierne Bay. From the town, the property, extending from the south towards the north and located on a quiet side street, is accessible via an automatic gate on its southeast corner. As for the dwelling, it is located on the last third of the lot, while its outbuilding is situated behind it on its northern border, which creates an interesting opportunity to divide up the plot without having to create a new entrance from the street. Surrounded by hedges and walls – vestiges of a former manorial entrance – the whole is completely enclosed and sheltered from view. Typical of the 1980s, this dwelling features plaster-coated exteriors and a slate roof dotted with dormers, while its front door is located on its southern side and a side entrance, on its eastern side, provides access to the dwelling’s basement level.
