luxury villa with sea view for sale Benodet, France

In a highly sought-after part of Fouesnant, this late nineteenth-century residence enjoys one of the most desirable settings on the southern Finistère coast. Built of local stone beneath a slate roof, the house offers approximately 200 sqm. It has come down through the years unspoilt, retaining its original materials: wooden floors, panelling and wainscoting, a timber staircase and a fireplace. The ground floor is arranged around an entrance hall and a corridor leading to two sitting rooms, two dining rooms, a kitchen and two pantries. The first floor comprises four bedrooms, a bathroom, a shower room, a cloakroom and a separate WC. An attic crowns the whole. A stone outbuilding of approximately 120 sqm completes the property. It houses a garage and a store room on the ground floor, three rooms on the first floor and an attic above. In need of complete renovation, it offers rare potential: a guest house, a studio or additional living space, subject to planning consent. A further garage, a boiler room and a utility store complete the outbuildings. The garden extends to nearly 2,350 sqm in a single parcel. A plot of this size so close to the shore has become exceptional in this area, where land near the sea is now largely built up. The property is offered in its present condition and calls for full renovation, which will bring out its character while adapting it to modern standards. It falls within neither the coastal flooding risk prevention plan nor the coastal erosion plan. The nearby coastline combines sheltered coves, the coastal path and a tidal harbour, some twenty kilometres from Quimper and its TGV station. A family property to reimagine, on one of the finest headlands in Cornouaille. Price: €1,837,500, including agency fees payable by the vendor “Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website: www.georisques.gouv.fr”

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.
