Some properties immediately command respect. Through their presence, their architecture, and the quiet authority of their setting. This remarkable 18th-century mansion, built in solid granite stone and distinguished by its iconic tower, is one of those rare estates. Set on the edge of a fully compliant private lake of approximately one hectare, fed by three natural springs, the property enjoys a truly exceptional natural environment. Water flows gently from a higher lake via a natural stream, nourishes the main lake, and continues its journey in soft cascade toward a lower body of water — a rare and poetic hydraulic system that brings constant movement and life to the landscape. Two fishing pontoons are discreetly integrated along the lake’s edge, inviting long, contemplative hours by the water. Nearby, an authentic thatched cottage rests at the shoreline, featuring a pisé floor and a beautiful original stone fireplace. A timeless and deeply atmospheric retreat perfectly suited as a unique fishing cabin or lakeside refuge. The park and lake, bordered with granite, extend over approximately two hectares, forming an idyllic setting dedicated to serenity, reflection and nature. The surrounding land gently unfolds into pasture, ideal for small livestock such as sheep, or simply to preserve open, uninterrupted views. The main residence offers warm and harmonious living spaces: • a spacious character-filled living room • an inviting reception room • a functional kitchen, in keeping with the spirit of the house • a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom • two additional bedrooms sharing a second bathroom On the upper floor, a potential extension of approximately 50 sqm allows for the creation of an additional bedroom, suite or bathroom, while fully respecting the architectural balance of the property. Adjoining the house, an additional building provides a large garage on the ground floor and a workshop or studio on the upper level, offering further flexibility and creative potential Outdoors, a swimming pool completes this exceptional estate, seamlessly integrated into its natural surroundings. This is not merely a home, but a rare art of living, where stone, water and landscape come together in perfect harmony. A property to be experienced, felt, and remembered.
