Luxury Maison de Maître with Gîte & Boutique Hospitality Potential
Trans-la-Forêt, Brittany – Near Mont-Saint-Michel

Accessed via a private drive, this elegant wisteria-clad Maison de Maître offers refined country living in one of Brittany’s most sought-after rural settings. Surrounded by approximately 7,500 m² of landscaped grounds with a private natural pond, shaded terraces and tranquil garden “rooms,” the property combines timeless French character with modern comfort — an ideal lifestyle retreat with immediate income potential.

The main residence, extending to approximately 270 m², has been carefully restored, blending original architectural features with bespoke oak joinery, quality finishes and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor. The home is designed for both relaxed living and welcoming guests, with four beautifully appointed en-suite bedrooms that lend themselves perfectly to boutique bed-and-breakfast use.

Entering via the spacious kitchen with sitting area, a wood-burning stove creates a warm and inviting atmosphere for cozy evenings. Direct access leads to the rear gardens and terraces. Beyond, the main salon and dining room showcase the historic charm of the property, centered around a striking fireplace with wood burner — a natural gathering space for entertaining.

An original wooden staircase leads to the first-floor landing serving two generous suites. The principal bedroom overlooks the landscaped garden and private pond, featuring a luxurious en-suite bathroom with roll-top bath and separate walk-in shower. A large purpose-built storage wall creates a feature and ample wardrobe space. The second bedroom offers built-in storage and an equally refined en-suite with roll-top bath and separate shower.

The second floor, with exposed beams under the eaves, offers two additional en-suite bedrooms — one with roll-top bath and separate shower, and the other with a stylish en-suite shower room.

Across the graveled courtyard sits a fully independent, single-level one-bedroom gîte (approx. 72 m²), ready to rent immediately. It includes a lounge with large stone fireplace and wood burner, kitchen with dining area, luxury bathroom with roll-top bath and walk-in shower, and a bedroom opening directly onto a private terrace and garden. Underfloor heating and a heat pump ensure year-round comfort. This space also offers flexibility for guest accommodation, extended family, or caretaker quarters.

Three original stone outbuildings complete the courtyard. Planning permission has been granted for conversion into three additional gîtes (two one-bedroom and one two-bedroom), with initial work started and a drainage system already installed. These buildings could also be adapted into studio space, workshops, offices, wellness facilities or creative retreat areas depending on your vision.

The landscaped gardens form a true relaxing setting, with a peaceful pond and wooden decking area providing shaded seating overlooking the water, partly covered by fragrant wisteria. Mature trees throughout the gardens create natural shade, while different sections offer privacy, relaxation and outdoor dining — perfect for long summer evenings.

The location offers exceptional lifestyle appeal. Set in peaceful countryside with no close neighbors, the property is surrounded by walking trails, cycling routes and nature tourism opportunities. The iconic Mont-Saint-Michel is approximately 20 km away, while the charming towns of Dol-de-Bretagne (18 km), Combourg (15 km), Pontorson (13 km) and Bazouges-la-Pérouse (approximately 23 km) provide weekly markets, restaurants, history and cultural attractions.
