Stunning Renovated 12-Bedroom Estate in the Heart of Brittany
Nestled in the lush, rolling countryside between Scaër and Saint-Thurien, this magnificent renovated farm estate offers a rare combination of historic Breton charm and versatile modern living. Set across a sprawling 4-hectare (approx. 10-acre) expanse of fertile pasture and fruit-bearing orchards, this property is far more than just a home—it is a lifestyle opportunity. Whether you envision a multi-generational family retreat, a boutique bed-and-breakfast, or a specialized healthcare project like a retirement home, this estate is ready for immediate occupation.
Architectural Heritage & Living Spaces
The estate is comprised of four distinct granite buildings, each meticulously maintained to preserve their original character. The total built surface exceeds 420 m2, excluding a massive 400 m2 covered hangar perfect for agricultural equipment, classic car storage, or creative workshops.
* The Main House (120 m2): A stately two-story residence built in 1870. It features a stunning granite veranda that floods the ground floor with natural light, bridging the gap between the cozy interior and the scenic gardens.
* The Second House (120 m2): Steeped in history, this 16th-century gem retains the authentic soul of Brittany. Also spanning two levels with its own veranda, it offers a unique atmosphere with thick stone walls and traditional craftsmanship.
* The Third House (80 m2 + Potential): This 1870-built stone house provides immediate living space plus an additional 100 m2 of renovable area. This section is a blank canvas, ideal for expanding the estate’s capacity or creating a private studio.
Wellness and Recreation
The fourth building is the crown jewel for those seeking luxury and leisure. It houses a large indoor swimming pool (4m x 11m), allowing for year-round swimming regardless of the Breton weather. Above the pool area, a spacious dormitory provides significant sleeping capacity, making it perfect for hosting large groups, retreats, or seasonal guests.
In addition to its residential charm, the estate is perfectly equipped for self-sufficiency and equestrian pursuits. Gardeners will find immense value in the expansive 80 m2 polytunnel greenhouse (measuring 4 m x 20 m), which facilitates early-season vegetable production and year-round cultivation. This agricultural setup is supported by a sophisticated irrigation system featuring a 25 m³ water collector and a dedicated pump for efficiently watering both the gardens and the greenhouse. For horse lovers, the property is equally impressive; it includes a well-maintained stable that currently accommodates two horses, with additional space available for two more. Designed with practicality in mind, the stables offer direct entry and exit points to the four hectares of lush, surrounding pasture, making it an ideal turnkey solution for an equestrian lifestyle.
Land and Location
The 4 hectares of land provide ultimate privacy and peace. The grounds are currently optimized for animal husbandry and self-sufficiency, featuring established fruit trees and rich grazing pastures. Located in Finistère, the property benefits from the region’s 'Green Resort' status, with world-class hiking and cycling trails nearby.
Practicality is also a key feature; the estate is vacant and available immediately for €900,000 (negotiable). For international travelers, the property is conveniently served by Lorient South Brittany Airport (LRT), just a 40-minute drive away, with Quimper and Brest airports providing further connectivity.
ABOUT THE AREA
Located in the heart of Brittany’s Finistère department, Scaër is a charming commune often referred to as 'Scaër la Joyeuse' (Scaër the Merry). This nickname stems from its lively spirit and its most famous event, the Cavalcade, a massive carnival held every two years on Pentecost weekend. The town is known for being one of the most geographically spread-out communes in the region, offering a serene blend of traditional Breton stone architecture and sprawling, lush countryside.
For nature enthusiasts, Scaër serves as a 'Station Verte' (Green Resort), emphasizing eco-tourism and outdoor activities. It is a haven for hikers and cyclists, featuring the Voie Verte No. 7, a scenic greenway converted from an old railway line that connects Roscoff to Concarneau. The town is also nestled near the Coatloc’h Forest, where over 300 hectares of oak and beech trees provide a tranquil backdrop for exploring the local rivers, such as the Isole and Ster Goz, which are popular with trout fishers.
Culturally, Scaër is deeply rooted in Breton traditions, where the local language and heritage are proudly maintained. Visitors can explore the Chapel of Coadry, famous for its 'Staurotide' stones—unique cross-shaped minerals found in the local soil that are often called 'cross-stones.' The local gastronomy also reflects this heritage, with traditional creperies and markets offering regional specialties like kouign-amann and fresh Breton cider.
The nearest major commercial airport to Scaër is Lorient South Brittany Airport (LRT), located approximately 35 to 40 kilometers (about a 40-minute drive) to the southeast. For a wider selection of international flights, travelers also frequently use Quimper-Cornouaille Airport (UIP), which is roughly 45 kilometers away, or the larger Brest Bretagne Airport (BES), situated about 90 kilometers to the northwest.
