About this property
Charming gîte with private pond and fishing, garden, BBQ, fibre, 2 bedrooms - Alexain
From a former barn to a charming cottage: a beautiful transformation conceived and executed by Odile and Daniel, in a setting conducive to relaxation.
This charming, detached stone house has been imaginatively renovated to offer you a comfortable and welcoming stay. You will appreciate its contemporary 9m² veranda, a true open-plan living space overlooking the flower-filled and wooded garden, with complete privacy. Just 70m from the cottage, an 8-hectare pond awaits you, accessible via a path. Not private, it is dedicated to catch-and-release fishing: roach, carp, perch, pike, and eels. A fishing permit is provided, and a rowboat is available for you to enjoy the pond, whether for fishing or simply a leisurely paddle. Whether you are a fisherman or a nature lover, you will enjoy the setting at the heart of a 4000m² landscaped property. The Mayenne River, classified as a second-category fishing river, is also accessible 6 km away.
The property also includes a second independent cottage, Le Martin Pêcheur (H53G010581), which can accommodate 3 people. Each unit has its own private terrace and fishing cabin, ensuring complete privacy.
