Behind its gates, the estate covers nearly 3.7 hectares comprising a wooded park, meadows, woodland and unspoilt natural areas. The property offers a rare living environment, sheltered from view yet just a few minutes' drive from the coast of Saint-Malo and all amenities.
The main manor house, built between the 17th and 18th centuries, offers approximately 484 m2 of living space according to current surveys. Entirely and carefully renovated, it has retained its original architectural features whilst enjoying modern comforts.
On the ground floor, there are several reception rooms featuring fireplaces, a dining room, a spacious family kitchen and a utility room.
The upper floors comprise ten bedrooms, each with its own bathroom or shower room, offering an ideal layout for a large family home or for hosting events.
The property is in an excellent state of repair. A former private chapel, a testament to the estate's history, further enhances the property's exceptional character.
This residence is notably linked to the English architect George Goldie (1828-1887), a leading figure in neo-Gothic religious architecture.
The detached farmhouse offers approximately 148 m2 of living space according to the surveys and 180 m2 according to the plans. It features separate living areas suitable for accommodating family, guests or staff.
Numerous outbuildings offer significant potential for conversion and personalisation. Several outbuildings complete the property and offer a wide range of potential uses: storage, workshops, garages or additional projects, depending on the future owners' needs.
The estate also benefits from a former tennis court in need of refurbishment. To the south of the property, a stream runs through the wooded area, enhancing the site's scenic quality.
Three wells, several outbuildings and a large vegetable garden complete this particularly rare property.
The gate is motorised and the technical systems have recently been upgraded. Spread over more than twelve plots covering a total area of approximately 3.7 hectares, the estate combines landscaped areas, meadows and woodland within a preserved environment.
A rare find on the St Malo market, this characterful property combines heritage, elegance and privacy in the heart of a privileged natural setting.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
