A truly unique opportunity - a small island of 6000m2 just a few hundred metres from the shore and sandy beaches with a fortified castle from the 17th Century complete with keep and guest house.

Garden of 3000m2 surrounded by ramparts from which to take advantage of breathtaking sea views in every direction.

The island is accessible by foot at low tide and by car .(4 wheel drive vehicle recommended) to the castle when the tide is low. A small boat allows access when the tide is high.

At high tide, the property is surrounded by the sea and becomes a mysterious and unique place. Sheltered from wind, behind the ramparts which enclose the whole property, two buildings hide : the Castle and the Guest house.
