Brittany, Ille-et-Vilaine, Hirel, France

Charming Seaside Home with Spectacular Views of the Bay of Mont St Michel

Located just a 10-minute stroll from the center of Hirel, this delightful property enjoys a prime position along the road overlooking the breathtaking Bay of Mont St Michel. Its enviable location places you within 30 minutes of both St Malo and Mont St Michel, while Dol de Bretagne — where the TGV to Paris awaits — is only a 15-minute drive away.

Currently designed as a five-bedroom home, the property offers flexible living arrangements. It can easily be reconfigured into a spacious three-bedroom residence with a large lounge boasting uninterrupted views of the bay. The house retains many of its original features, adding to its charm, and you'll discover a host of hidden nooks and crannies that have been cleverly repurposed into convenient storage spaces.

Main Living Area
Access to the home is from the main road, where you’re welcomed into the elevated ground floor. Here, the heart of the home unfolds with an open-plan, fully-fitted kitchen and dining area featuring a cozy wood-burning stove. The space is flooded with natural light and offers sweeping views of the bay. Adjoining the kitchen is a snug sitting area that overlooks the garden — the perfect spot to unwind. This level also includes a modern bathroom with a walk-in shower, as well as two additional rooms currently being used as bedrooms.

A staircase leads you to the upper floor, where you’ll find two large, light-filled bedrooms and a convenient toilet.

Garden Level and Additional Living Spaces
Descending from the main living area, you arrive at the garden-level floor, which offers direct access to a covered terrace and garden. This space is designed for flexible use and includes an additional bedroom, a fully equipped summer kitchen, and a laundry area. Cleverly tucked around the staircase, multiple small storage areas provide additional functionality, including a perfect wine cellar where the temperature remains a consistent 14°C. Direct access to the parking area makes unloading groceries or luggage a breeze, and there is also an electric vehicle charging point for added convenience.

Independent Guest Accommodation
The garden-level terrace leads to a charming, self-contained guest accommodation. Accessible via an electric gate, this private unit offers complete independence, ideal for holiday rentals or multi-generational living. The east-facing double sliding doors open into a bright and airy lounge and dining space, complete with a wood-burning stove. The unit also features a small, functional kitchenette, a large bathroom with a walk-in shower, a built-in wardrobe or storage area, and a separate WC. Upstairs, the first-floor sleeping quarters are bathed in natural light and even provide glimpses of the sea.

Additional Storage and Practical Spaces
Adjacent to the guest accommodation is a former garage, now transformed into a handy storeroom with a dedicated bin area alongside it. This practical arrangement ensures that all household needs are met with ease and efficiency.

Outdoor Spaces
The low-maintenance garden has been thoughtfully designed to provide beauty without the burden of constant upkeep. The combination of direct terrace access, a private garden, and a guest-friendly independent entrance makes this property an ideal blend of functionality, charm, and elegance.
