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...

This is PLM02998 for sale in Brittany with Cle France for only 69,600 euros FAI.

Just a perfect setting in the heart of Brittany, in a rural hamlet, we have this lovely stone built Cottage on around 500 sqm of garden.

Stone cottage in rural location with nice views yet on the outskirts of the thriving market village of Mael Carhaix. Much improved by the current owners, including a new septic tank fitted last year, a new shower room, new box room ideal as a home office/study. The property also has a telephone/internet connection and satellite TV.

Ground floor: Entrance hall, fitted kitchen, lounge with fireplace, box/office/study room, shower room, utility/toilet.

First floor: Landing and two double bedrooms.

Outside: 2 Garden sheds / box room attached to the property.

NOTE: New septic tank fitted in 2013 and electrics were re-wired in 2006.

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.
