FOR SALE IN BRITTANY, between PONT AVEN and TAHITI Beach
A property comprising a magnificent thatched cottage and an outbuilding, lovingly cared for and enhanced by creative and thoughtful renovation.
As soon as you arrive, you feel the magic of this place, an invitation to travel, an enchantment where the roots of the oak trees intertwine deep in the megalithic rocks as if to form a single entity.
A preserved environment, boundless woods, winding and tranquil paths, small plots bordered by twisted trees leaning against menhirs, charm everywhere. The banks of the Aven are nearby, the subtle sound of the streams already transporting us.
In 1976, a Breton engineer and traveler living in Africa fell in love with this region of southern Finistère. Charmed by the unique light and despite his distant exile, he decided to design and build a house with a thatched roof typical of the region. This opulent thatched-roof residence became the family's second home.
Today, 50 years later, it is his son, an interior architect and seasoned designer who, just as passionate as his father, has given new life to this family home, preserving the soul of the place and its charm in order to respect its history, while modernizing the facilities and improving comfort with care.
From the moment you enter, you can feel that everything has been thought out down to the smallest detail.
With delicate and precious finishes, the interior designer has selected high-quality features for their performance and refined aesthetics.
The property is located on approximately 5,000 m² of land classified as non-buildable agricultural land and surrounded by woods.
The site is dotted with megalithic rocks that have been there since the dawn of time, with soft shapes that offer a unique setting open to nature as far as the eye can see.
In the evening, the sweeping lights of the Port Manech lighthouse on the horizon remind us of the proximity of the ocean.
The property is accessed via a gravel path that winds through a small wood and a large courtyard. The house itself faces south and nature, with unobstructed views stretching as far as the eye can see, and the garden and its tranquility are protected.
A majestic chestnut tree, as if straight out of a King Arthur legend, reminds us that this site is highly energetic.
There are no nuisances, no neighbors opposite, and the surroundings are quiet, yet the first houses along the main road are only a few hundred meters away, meaning that the site is not completely isolated.
The House:
The entrance is through a solid oak door in the original ogival style.
The journey begins.
The hallway, with its carefully designed lighting, features two folding glass doors that open onto the kitchen and living room respectively, offering a clear view from the kitchen to the fireplace.
The original staircase, very modern for its time, is equipped with automatic lighting that is completely hidden behind the banister.
The open fireplace has been left as it was originally, allowing for long evenings spent crackling by the fire.
In the kitchen, with its high-end finishes and completely redesigned layout, the original Henriot tiles have been carefully removed, repositioned, and enhanced by the lighting.
The floor is also original, made of ceramic tiles fired using the Japanese Raku method.
