Facing the little Mer de Gâvres, this family home, spread over three levels, offers an exceptional setting for a waterfront lifestyle. Its main asset: uninterrupted sea views, with remarkable panoramas of Gâvres, Plouhinec, and the island of Groix. From one of the levels, the view also extends to the Kerbel lighthouse. A terrace and garden extend the house to the sea and benefit from private access to the water, a rare and highly sought-after privilege. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall leading to the various living spaces, as well as two garages, large enough to accommodate a boat, a campervan, or several vehicles. An additional outdoor parking area completes this level. This level also includes a kitchen and a summer dining room, as well as two bedrooms, one with a sea view, along with a shower room and WC. The first floor forms the heart of the house. A large kitchen opens onto a welcoming living room with a fireplace and a dining room that faces the Petite Mer de Gâvres. A bar area completes this convivial space, ideal for entertaining family and friends while fully enjoying the view. A master bedroom with a dressing room and en-suite bathroom completes this level. On the second floor, you will find an office, a WC, a storage area for the central vacuum system, and a beautiful room offering multiple layout possibilities: an additional bedroom, living room, office, or relaxation area. From this level, the view unfolds once again over Gâvres and as far as the Kerbel lighthouse. The house also benefits from a reversible air-to-air heat pump, allowing for heating and cooling depending on the season. This property thus enjoys an exceptional setting, with a terrace, a garden, and, above all, private access to the sea.

Invisible from the street, this traditionally built house is revealed as a confidential address, oriented towards the water. Here, the view becomes the decor. With its 170 m² of living space, the property opens its door to a large entrance hall equipped with closets, before giving way to a beautiful living area that is widely open to the sea. Behind the windows, the landscape transforms with the hours, tides, and light, offering a spectacle that one will enjoy sharing with a few privileged guests. The kitchen, currently in need of modernization, offers the freedom to imagine a more contemporary space, worthy of this extraordinary environment. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, three of which benefit from a full sea view; the fourth also enjoys a particularly atypical perspective. Two bathrooms complete this level. Outside, the large enclosed garden naturally extends the house towards the shore. In fine weather, the terrace is lovely, and in the golden season, the conservatory! And the sea, always. A large garage meets parking and storage needs. And then there is the essential: just a few steps to reach the sand, the water at the end of the garden, and this spectacular view that one will probably never tire of. A rare property due to its discretion, volumes, and especially its exceptional relationship with the sea. "Finding a property is good.
