Hédé-Bazouges, Brittany 35630

20 minutes from Rennes, by its private pond, a vast renovated manor with a pool and outbuildings. Beside its pond, the 16th-century manor is surrounded by a wooded park of over 1 hectare, crisscrossed with canals and waterfalls. The renovated exterior is paired with a contemporary interior, where a large indoor pool communicates with sauna and steam room areas. The main dwelling, nearly 400 m² in living space, is complemented by an independent apartment of about 80 m², a cottage of about 40 m², and garages-workshops totaling close to 220 m². After taking a wide wooded driveway and along the canal where ducks and grebes frolic, the residence reveals itself in front of a vast grassy parterre, surrounded by tall trees. The main building is granite-built and topped with a slate roof with dormers. It consists of a central two-story block, with stone-emphasized bays, flanked by two towers capped with pavilion roofs. In line with the main dwelling, a 19th-century longère and its wooden extensions house the independent apartment and the garage-workshop. Perpendicularly, a granite outbuilding with a slate roof houses the cottage and its garage. At the rear of the manor, the park extends, with a practice driving range and terraces set along the edge of the pond, itself surrounded by weeping willows and white poplars.
