Property of the Week

Comprising 9300 m² and enjoying a privileged south facing position in this scenic bay, with a private pontoon providing access to the island, you are just a 5-minute boat ride from the popular port and village of La Trinité-sur-Mer.

On the island, is a charming Oyster Fishing Cottage, constructed at the latter end of the 19th century. The cottage, built from local stone, enjoys full current-day amenities, including mains electricity, running water and telephone communications. There are four bedrooms, two of which are on the ground floor and a delightful, light and sunny open-plan kitchen, dining and living area.

Very rarely does a property such as this come to the market ... the opportunity to enjoy such utter peace and tranquillity, that comes only with living on a picturesque, private Island, in one of the most beautiful bays in the world (Morbihan Bay being a member of the "Club of The Most Beautiful Bays in the World" - which also includes San Francisco Bay in the United States*).

Set on this little piece of natural paradise, comprising just under one hectare and partially enclosed by dry stone walls, is a quaint, stone-built, Oyster Fishing cottage, dating back to 1870. Today, it is fully renovated, while retaining all the charm and authenticity of the island. Currently there are four bedrooms, two of which are on the ground floor. A spacious and characterful open plan kitchen, dining and living area of over 70 m2, ensures its use and maximum enjoyment as a coastal, family holiday retreat. Currently, there is a total of 160 m² of accommodation, but there is the possibility to enlarge the cottage by a further 30% in accordance with local planning regulations. Double glazed windows throughout enjoy wonderful ocean views and a stone fireplace for winter nights.

The island could, without doubt, be regarded as highly suitable for an Artist's studio or Writer's delight ... taking advantage of the extraordinary light and serenity of the location.

The cottage is sold fully furnished.

Located within the 'protected' calm blue waters of the Gulf of Morbihan, the land and sea blend effortlessly together to create a forever changing landscape, with exceptional year-round boating opportunities. The island is south facing, enjoying a pollution-free environment, and from where you can experience the rhythm of a fascinating daily maritime show of seabirds and gentle sea breezes. Being within the bay, means you are naturally protected from adverse Atlantic weather conditions.

The island is just a 5 minute boat ride to Morbihan's most popular coastal resort offering copious fresh seafood platters; La Trinité-sur-Mer ... a resort rich in colours, gastronomy and day-to-day life. At its heart a renowned marina, where sailing boats, launches and yachts of all sizes and from all parts of the world, float side by side. The island comes with a permanent mooring in La Trinité-sur-Mer and a boat, for easy access at any time across to the island. Vannes, Gulf du Morbihan airport is 40 minutes’ drive away and just 20 minutes to the TGV train station for Paris (3 hours).  With a small amount of vegetation clearance, the island is capable of hosting a helicopter.
