This charming 17th c. property is situated on the outskirts of the peaceful village with all local shops and services (primary schools, pharmacy, health professionals, etc. ). This country property is located in the Porhoet region, which can be translated as "the land surrounded by forest". Paimpont, Concoret and the Broceliande forest are all within easy reach.
The region abounds in footpaths and tourist attractions, all steeped in the Celtic atmosphere that makes Brittany such a special place to live. Road and rail links to Rennes, the Golfe du Morbihan and the north coast are also easily accessible. The Lordship, with medium justice, was the cradle of the Bellouan family. It produced Olivier, a crusader in 1248, Robert in 1350, Jean chevalier de l'Hermine in 1454 and Isabeau abbess of la Joie in 1469.
The estate passed into the hands of other great families: Derval in 1648, Talhouet-Keraveon in 1703, Cintre in 1763 and Apuril in 1841. At that time, the estate was larger than it is today, as it included other dwellings and a dovecote, which no longer exist. The manor house as it stands today was finished in 1604. The elongated dwelling is crowned by a long-sloped roof with five dormer windows. The facade features large, irregularly arranged windows and the aristocratic door is surmounted by a remarkable arched moulding.
The domestic chapel, formerly dedicated to Saint-Meen and later to Saint Marc, was founded by Gabriel de Montbourcher and Francoise Massuel. It was blessed in 1617. The Flohic editions tell us that in the 19th century, "the chapel, which had been completely restored, underwent major transformations. The simple bull's eye that lit up the gable was replaced by a large window (. ) High mullioned windows with broken arches light up the three-sided apse. An altar surmounted by a wooden tabernacle was placed on the blind side".
The manor house spans more than 400m2 of living space, spread over the first 2 floors as follows: - On the ground floor, the main entrance leads to: on the left, a dining room (39m2) on the right, a living room with fireplace (40m2) at the end, a kitchen with monumental fireplace (27m2),a shower room and separate wc.
Communicating with the living room, an apartment for the owner has been installed comprising: a living room (23m2), a kitchen (approximately 9m2), a room used as a bedroom (almost 9m2), a shower room with wc, and a conservatory (29m2) with uninterrupted views over the orchard.
On the first floor are 6 bedrooms (surface area: from 18m2 to 34m2),
6 shower/bathrooms and wc.
In the attic space are various storage rooms.
The outbuildings are: - An outbuilding comprising :
• a hen house and a shelter at right angles to the building
• a garage / wood shed
• a workshop (former stable)
• two horse stalls
• a storeroom - A kennel
A carport adjoins the chapel, and the masonry well is in the immediate vicinity.
Behind the manor house is a bread oven and former latrines and a greenhouse.
At the entrance to the property is a large building with a floor surface area of approximately 300m2 built in the 1980s, it was used for a long time by a local sports association. It includes changing rooms (with 3 showers) and a large hall with parquet flooring.
The domestic chapel dedicated to Saint Mark, still consecrated, completes the ensemble magnificently.
The grounds cover more than 16 acres: A lake fed by a natural spring and rainwater is located in the immediate vicinity of the manor house. A vast orchard (almost 4,500m2) is home to apple, cherry, plum, quince and mirabelle trees, etc. To the west of the property is a field farmed by a farmer (approximately 3 acres - written lease). To the north, a meadow (approximately 3 acres) is currently available to the same farmer free of charge - it is possible to recover full ownership of this land.
Surrounding the buildings: a wood (almost 7 acres) providing a green 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.
