MORBIHAN - Nr. Rochefort En Terre - A..

Set in the woodlands near the touristic town of Rochefort En Terre, well known for its Arts and Craft shops and fairs. You will find what must be one of the most unique properties actually on the market in Brittany. A ruined XV century convent, with spacious home, a gite and all set in 5 acres of walled and terraced gardens.The main house itself is a renovated Breton farmhouse which was built at one end of the convent ruins, and was renovated keeping a lot of the character but with a modern concept of space and light. It comprises of a country kitchen, lounge with fireplace, shower room and cloak room, a small entrance hall/veranda and "la piece de resistance" a massive open plan living room/dining room with a mezzanine and a glazed wall looking out over the terrace and onto the interior of the convent. Upstairs you have two decent sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. Below the lounge you have the arched cellars, also a vestige of the old convent.Elsewhere in the grounds you have the gite, one of the old stone barns which has been fully converted and now offers a large high ceilinged lounge/library, kitchen, bathroom and laundry. Then upstairs you have a large landing and two decent bedrooms.The convent itself was founded in 1442 and was abandoned over a century ago, and now give the whole site a magical and mythical aurora. The 5 acres of walled gardens are broken down into differing areas and levels and the whole area is surrounded by mature woodlands. This must be one of the most unique and magical properties on the market in Brittany at this present time!
