Near Quimper, Beautiful Old Farmhouses in the Forest

Property Description

20 Minutes from Quimper (Tgv Station), near Briec – In a magical, secluded "end of the world" setting, nestled in the forest and accessible via a small road ending in a dead end, lies a complete hamlet in a 2,810 sqm clearing surrounded by four granite longhouses, set at the heart of various woodland plots totaling approximately 13.6 hectares.
A village with basic amenities is just 3 minutes away.

The location, deep within the woods, guarantees absolute tranquility. The site – a wide clearing in the middle of a forested area – is truly remarkable.

The buildings were constructed at different times. The stonework typology and the arched openings suggest that the oldest parts date back to the Renaissance, with the whole ensemble likely from the mid-17th century, a period of great prosperity in the region. The dressed stone masonry is particularly beautiful, as are some of the openings. The residential section was altered in the first half of the 20th century, notably with the addition of large windows and a second floor.

The longhouse by the roadside has no external openings, hinting at a defensive purpose. Overall, the buildings feature small openings, except for the doors.

The structural work has been well maintained. The corrugated "Eternit" roofing is securely fixed, and there are no signs of leaks or accidental cracks. However, these are raw buildings with no interior finishing. Their architectural quality is what gives them all their charm.

The 2,810 sqm plot that once formed the farmyard could accommodate a high-quality residence after major renovation. The dominant exposure is to the south. The four houses offer great potential for a variety of uses – as a private residence, holiday cottages, or other creative projects.

The woodland plots are contiguous. Near the houses, the forest is made up of unmanaged mature stands, while further out, there are beautiful, evenly planted trees nearing maturity and easily exploitable.

No sanitation system is in place. The buildings are not subject to an energy performance certificate (DPE).
It is possible to purchase the houses without the woodland.
