Beautifully restored character property with views over the Vilaine
In the heart of Southern Morbihan, just a few minutes from La Roche-Bernard, a charming historic town renowned for its marina, this exceptional property offers a truly authentic lifestyle setting. A former toll house, entirely restored in the 1970s by the Compagnons du Devoir, this stone-built residence is testament to a remarkable heritage preservation project. Passionately restored, it now combines the charm of centuries past with the comfort of a perfectly maintained home.
From the moment you enter, the house reveals a warm and authentic atmosphere. The spacious 44 m² living area features a welcoming kitchen with dining space and a sitting room with an original fireplace. Exposed stone walls, traditional terracotta floor tiles, timber beams and the generous ceiling height of almost 3 metres create a naturally elegant setting where every detail tells a story.
The remarkable staircase tower forms the true backbone of the property. A rare architectural feature, it elegantly connects the different levels of the residence and contributes fully to its unique character.
A spectacular cathedral-style sitting room and library reveal the full grandeur of the volumes. Featuring a traditional fireplace and mezzanine, this impressive reception area enjoys breathtaking views over the Vilaine. The abundant natural light, enhanced by the east and south-facing aspects, highlights the original materials and creates a particularly peaceful atmosphere.
The house offers approximately 314 m² of living space, comprising 6 bedrooms, a study, 3 shower rooms, and a ground-floor bedroom with an accessible shower room suitable for people with reduced mobility. It also includes a utility room adjoining the kitchen, a cellar and storage areas, as well as two separate garages.
The five-hectare grounds provide an exceptional environment, with extensive woodland dominating the landscape, complemented by a landscaped garden around the house and several charming country clearings. The property benefits from direct access to the Vilaine and its own private jetty, a rare privilege allowing full enjoyment of this navigable river in an unspoilt and preserved natural setting.
Comfort has not been overlooked, with an air-source heat pump heating system, underfloor heating on the ground floor, radiators on the upper floors and remarkable energy performance, reflected in an EPC rating of B — an exceptionally rare achievement for an old property of this quality. The kitchen and shower rooms can be modernised according to the future owners’ preferences, without compromising the overall quality of the residence.
Located just a few kilometres from the Mine d’Or beach at Pénestin, this property is a true haven for lovers of nature, heritage and the Breton art of living. A discreet and private address where time seems to stand still.
