Property Lamballe - 6 bedrooms - 343m²

Norman-inspired historic estate set in 26 hectares on the doorstep of the Emerald Coast

Some properties are visited. Others are passed down.

Offered exclusively by MAISON ROUGE, this historic 19th-century estate stands out as one of the most distinctive heritage properties in the Côtes-d'Armor. Nestled in an unspoilt setting spanning 26 hectares of farmland, meadows, woodland and character buildings, this remarkable estate offers exceptional potential to those who can restore it to its former glory.

At first glance, its architecture immediately catches the eye. Here, granite façades, red timber framing and brick surrounds are more reminiscent of grand Norman estates than traditional Breton homes. This distinctive style has its roots in the history of the estate itself.

Local legend has it that, from 1888, Léonie de Cambacérès, wife of Duke Charles-Marie-Augustin de Goyon, was captivated by the elegance of the Norman stud farms she encountered at the major Deauville races and wished to recreate this architecture near her Breton residence. The prestigious Fercoq stud farm found its home here, giving rise over the years to a tradition that a new building was erected for every major race won.

To this day, that history is etched into every stone of the estate.

The main building has a residence of approximately 340 m² on the first floor, with magnificent proportions and sweeping views over the estate. This part will require renovation, giving future owners the opportunity to unlock the full potential of this prestigious family home. Part of the roof covering has already been repaired, marking an important first step in enhancing the existing heritage.

A rare feature for a property of this scale, a second, detached house of approximately 135 m² is vacant and ready for occupation. It could provide a home on the estate while work is carried out on the main residence, or offer comfortable accommodation for family, a caretaker or guests.

Another building of approximately 175 m², currently used as a second home, may soon become vacant, opening up further possibilities for use or conversion.

The estate's equestrian heritage remains very much in evidence, with more than 300 m² of outbuildings beneath the main residence, as well as a further 250 to 300 m² of former stables. Some still retain their original mangers, while others are now used as wine cellars or storage space. A former 16th-century cottage and several additional outbuildings further enhance this already extraordinary estate.

A large storage barn also complements the existing facilities and offers a range of possibilities, depending on the estate's future use.

The land extends to approximately 26 hectares, some of which is currently farmed under a rural tenancy. The terms of this arrangement could be reviewed in consultation with the current tenant farmer, in line with the ambitions of the future owners.

Another defining feature of the estate is its remarkable tree-filled parkland. Over several decades, the current owners have carefully shaped the landscape, planting nearly 24,000 trees, including oaks, beech, conifers and various local species. Today, they provide an exceptional, secluded and unspoilt natural setting.

The estate enjoys a particularly privileged location, close to Lamballe TGV station, with direct journeys to Paris taking just a few hours. It is also approximately twenty minutes from the beaches of Val-André and its prestigious golf course, set high above the sea and regularly regarded as one of the finest courses in France.

This property will require investment and a long-term vision. In return, it offers something increasingly rare on the market: history, heritage, land, woodland and the chance to write a new chapter in the life of a unique estate.
