An Exceptional Home in the South of Brittany
Dating from the 16th century, this Breton stone longère has retained every element of its original character through thoughtful extensions and renovations. The property is defined above all by its extraordinary 12,850 m2 landscaped garden: Century-old conifers, oaks and maples, spectacular banks of rhododendrons and azaleas, bamboo groves and banana plants that create a rare botanical atmosphere in the heart of a city. A gravel path winds through the grounds connecting the house, the workshop, the lower garden and the millstream.
Approach and Exterior
Entry is through a remote-controlled electric gate onto a private gravel driveway. The granite façade, roofed in natural Breton slate, is complemented by a striking contemporary glass-and-steel studio extension. A pergola terrace draped in wisteria and climbing roses provides a sheltered and completely private outdoor living and dining space.
The grounds extend all the way down to the Steir river, passing beneath the ring road - from the house and garden, no road noise whatsoever can be heard. The dense mature vegetation and natural topography create a remarkable cocoon of calm, just five minutes by car from Quimper's historic city centre.
A 16th-century stone gable and sections of the original granite walls stand on the grounds - vestiges of the original mill that once occupied this site.
Ground Floor
The entrance hall (11 m2) opens into an exceptionally generous lounge-dining room (48 m2) with original working fireplace fitted with a Godin wood-burning stove, exposed beams and an internal staircase. The kitchen (23 m2) is fully fitted and looks out over the garden. A bathroom (5 m2), cloakroom (3 m2), utility/boiler room (14 m2, with sink, storage, washing machines and oil-fired boiler) and one toilet complete this level. A glass veranda (11 m2, not included in habitable surface) extends the living space directly into the garden.
First Floor
Four bedrooms are arranged around a central landing (4 m2): Bedroom 1 (14 m2, north-facing, two large fitted wardrobes), bedroom 2 (9 m2, currently used as a study), bedroom 3 (22 m2, the largest), and bedroom 4 (15 m2, north-facing). A dressing room with water point and hanging space (3 m2), a shower room (5 m2) and a separate WC complete the level. Two mezzanine areas (14 m2 and 3 m2, under 1.80 m headroom) provide additional storage. A south-facing veranda (17 m2, not included in habitable surface) catches the afternoon light.
Outbuildings
The detached 100 m2 workshop, built on a concrete slab, offers approximately 3.5 m ceiling height, a large sectional door and electricity. It currently houses a former cold room converted into a wine cellar.
A carport can accommodate 4 vehicles.

Oil-fired central heating, Godin wood-burning stove (ground floor) and wood-burning stove (first floor). Mains drainage. Fibre broadband. Electric gate.
