ABOUT THE AREA
Le Manoir Du Ster is an authentic slice of Breton heritage located in the coastal commune of Penmarch. Set within a sprawling 10,000 square meter park, the estate is defined by a poetic and wild atmosphere, featuring lush gardens that border protected dune-lands. It has evolved into a creative and peaceful retreat, currently hosting a mix of traditional gîtes and eco-conscious accommodations, making it a well-known landmark for those seeking a nature-focused lifestyle near the Atlantic.
The property is perfectly positioned in the Pays Bigouden, a region famous for its rugged beauty and strong maritime traditions. A private sandy path leads from the manor to the Ster beach in under five minutes, where the dunes stretch toward the fishing ports of Kérity and Le Guilvinec. The local area is a playground for outdoor enthusiasts, offering world-class windsurfing and kite-surfing conditions right on the doorstep, while the iconic Lighthouse of Eckmühl stands as a sentinel over the nearby rocky coastline.
Beyond the immediate tranquility of the manor, the region is a major draw for tourism. The legendary surf break at Pointe de la Torche is just a short drive away, hosting national competitions and drawing a vibrant, international crowd. For a change of pace, the nearby port of Kérity offers charming seafood restaurants and traditional markets where you can find the daily catch. The area successfully balances its identity as a peaceful sanctuary with its reputation as a premier destination for watersports and Breton culture.
Despite its secluded feel, the estate is well-connected for travel. The nearest regional hub is Quimper Airport (UIP), located approximately 20 km away, or a 25-minute drive. For a wider range of international connections, Brest Bretagne Airport (BES) is roughly 75 km to the north, reachable in about an hour. Additionally, the high-speed TGV train station in Quimper provides direct links to Paris, making this coastal gem accessible for visitors and holiday renters alike.

France places no restrictions on foreign property ownership. The notaire (a public official, not a lawyer for either side) handles the conveyance and is paid by the buyer. A French bank account is strongly recommended for completion funds and ongoing charges.

Make an offer
Offers are usually verbal or via the estate agent (agent immobilier). Once accepted, the agent drafts the offer letter.

Sign the compromis de vente
Preliminary contract setting price, conditions, and a 5–10% deposit held in escrow. Buyer has a 10-day statutory cooling-off period after signing.

Registration
Notaire registers the sale at the Service de la Publicité Foncière and sends the buyer a certified copy (attestation) within weeks; the full deed follows in 2–6 months.
No residency requirement to buy. Non-resident mortgages available from French banks, typically 70–80% LTV with stricter affordability checks. France abolished taxe d'habitation on primary residences (2023) but it still applies to second homes — and many communes now apply a surcharge of up to 60% on second homes in high-demand zones.
