Holiday Home in the Heart of a Pretty Village

We have sold many houses in the Village of Lassay-les-Chateaux and if you paid a quick visit to the village you would soon see why.

This property is 'new on the market' in recent weeks and offers fantastic value for money, good living space to enjoy from day one AND more scope to improve. Click on the photo to find out more.

One of the main reasons I love this “Petite Cité de Caractère” is because I lived 15 minutes from it for 12 years between 2000 and 2012 and it was my local centre to visit for banking, shopping and relaxing with a beer watching the world go by, a great location and not to mention the weekly markets, seasonal fairs and events as well as a annual comedy gala.

Nestled near the top of the Pays de la Loire region and close to the Normandy border is the town of Lassay les Chateaux. Surrounded by the beautiful and gentle rolling landscape of the Mayenne this medieval town offers more than just a magnificent chateau (in fact there are three!). Like elsewhere in the department of Mayenne the pace of life follows the seasons, the old rural ways and traditions don't try and keep pace with modern ways, instead the locals prefer the relaxed atmosphere.

Stunning Arts and Crafts Style Property in Normandy

I just love this house, I know it would be difficult to not like it but there is something about it that just whispers quality and style over just its sheer size. The style 'Arts & Crafts' which grew in Britain around 1860 in reaction to the industrialisation of Victorian England was not a unique movement, it was international. 

For a short period this style was very popular in France but originated from Belgium, in the Pays d'Auge area of Lower Normandy where this property is situated there are only a few examples left and this just may be the finest available, certainly the best I have seen ever.

The period was short lived but the houses still left today offer a slice of history.

Situated near to Pont l'Eveque and only 15kms from Deauville (also close is the city of Lisieux)we have this exceptional property composed of a main house and a guest house, with indoor swimming pool and boasting 230m2 of living space. The house offers bright and spacious accommodation with excellent facilities and equipment, decoration is simply stunning.

Want a Golf Course in your own garden?

This is what I like about this business, every day there is something new and some properties that range from stunning to interesting to sometimes a bit odd? but there is always one that stands out from the crowd.

Today I was doing some property searching for a client and this is one I will be recommending, it has it's own Golf course for goodness sake! and the client going viewing is golf crazy.

Property for sale in Brittany Golf course in garden

Longere with own 9 hole golf course! How cool is that? BVC00164 for sale 735,000 euros FAI.

Sorry about the image quality of the fairway (there are 37 images on the main listing - click on the photos), I am going to try and get some better ones soon but this property is superb, it is a truly stunning Longere with own 9 hole golf course! has been renovated to a very high standard throughout the property and grounds. There is still scope to develop living accommodation further particularly with the outbuildings on the grounds, and is only 10 minutes from Vannes in the countryside of Theix. 

Just 10 minutes from Vannes, 5 minutes from quaint historic centre of Theix, with all shopping and modern amenities, located in a peaceful hamlet of 5 houses, this large traditional Brittany long-house (Longère) sits on 12 hectares of land (around 30 acres), of which 2.5 hectares (approx. 6 acres) are currently used as a rustic compact golf course. 

This 18th century farmhouse was entirely renovated to a very high standard. It has its own electric gated entrance and is in a hamlet of 5 other properties but you do have privacy.

Looking in the Limousin for around 200K euros?

I love this property and the setting is just perfect, almost looks a bit Canadian in its environment and is certainly in an unspolit sector of the Correze department of the Limousin region.

If you have not done so already check out or regional information page on the Limousin region, and you will love the cool new weather app on the page which you can expand to full screen.

To really pick up a high quality property in this fantastic region I would choose the property below and make an offer - Beautiful quality property with attractive wooden construction, 4 bedrooms, 3 mezzanines, 150m2 of living space on a woodland plot of approx. 3000m². 

Solid wooden house newly built with top quality timber and with more than 150m² and interesting room volumes. Situated in a quiet location not overlooked but not far from a nice neighbourhood, the property is built on a beautiful parkland plot of more than 3000m².

Beautiful windows open to the outside and give a nice interior lighting, comfortable accommodation and well equipped modern kitchen, a large living room with a conservatory to enjoy the garden. The house is built on two levels with 4 bedrooms and 3 mezzanines to make sleeping a lot more people easier because everyone will want to visit! plus two bathrooms. A garage shed for cars and two garden sheds. A tastefully designed home. 

This house is environmentally friendly and very economical.

CXZ00655 for sale in limousin

CXZ00655 is for sale for 199,280 euros FAI but I would think a reasonable offer would be considered so it is certainly worth giving us a call to book a viewing directly.

About the Limousin:

The department of Corrèze is located in south central France, Corrèze belongs to the Limousin region. Correze is the name river running through the department. The population is around 240,000 inhabitants and is split into three arrondissements (Tulle, Brive and Ussel), 38 cantons and 285 towns and villages. Lanscapes in this department are mountains, plateaus and valleys. The highest mountain is the Mont Bessou at 978m.

Correze has many pretty villages or towns. It has six villages belonging to the ’Prettiest villages of France’ category, so watch out for Collonges-la-Rouge, Curemonte, Saint-Robert, Ségur-le-Chateau, Treignac and Turenne.

Limousin is often described as one of the cheapest French regions in terms of property. It will depend of course on the location and your personal expectations but in general you get a lot for your money. Read More...

I know which Holiday Home I would choose in Brittany....

There is nothing nicer than arriving at you own holiday home rather than a rented Gite and this is the perfect time of year for viewing and buying your own holiday home in France, imagine planning your first of many happy holiday visits for this summer.

I would choose this one in the Cotes d'Armor department of Brittany as it is in a great location, quiet and peaceful but not isolated, lovely rural environment and a tourist type town nearby plus everything Brittany has to offer. AND a very reasonable price too...

Mael Carhaix is a thriving market village that boasts an array of shops, banks, bars, hairdressers, bakeries and a restaurant. It also has a lovely lake with a beach and Japanese water garden, horse riding and cycle paths; so lots to see and do in the area.

The department of Cotes d’Armor is the northern most department in the Region of Brittany, with the English Channel to the north, Ille-et-Vilaine to the east, Morbihan to the south and Finistère to the west it is a sunshine gem.

The picturesque Émeraude Coast looks north to the English Channel and is packed with charming seaside resorts and old fishing villages. Most of the towns of the interior were founded in the Middle Ages. The department’s southern half is crossed by the Noires Mountains that run west to east with rivers emptying to the south into the Bay of Biscay and to the north into the Channel.

Along the coast, fishing was once important but is now secondary to the cultivation of fruit, oats, potatoes and wheat and of course tourism.
