Fabulous large house with guest cottage set in mature gardens on charming island of Île-aux-Moines in Brittany
Comprising 5 bedrooms and 4½ bathrooms, this lovely property is set within a 1,070m2 plot on the lovely island of Île-aux-Moines in the Gulf of Morbihan in southern Brittany, known as the Bijou of Brittany.
The main house is arranged over three floors and has four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and a cloakroom, along with sizeable living room with large working fireplace and a separate kitchen. A detached guest cottage with double height ceilings with rafters contains a large living room, galleried bedroom and bathroom.
The 1,070m2 plot has potential to develop (subject to usual consents).
The Île-aux-Moines is a small and charming island only five minutes by ferry from the mainland, with a local population of 600 people and many long-term holiday homeowners during the summer.
Located in the heart of the island and 450m from the sea, the house is just two minutes walk from the main square, the twice-weekly farmers market and the local shops and restaurants. It has the unique advantage of being in the centre, while also benefiting from a large garden. There are a number of beaches on the island, two of the best of which are just a 5 minute cycle from the house and the sailing school on the main beach is an easy walk away, opening up the whole of the stunning gulf for sailing.
A rare opportunity to own a piece of this beautiful island with its strong sense of community and lovely beaches.
Price: €787,500
