Overview

Nestled in the emerald embrace of Brittany’s rolling hills, where the salty whispers of the Atlantic mingle with the rustle of ancient oaks, **Le Manoir de la Bruyère** awaits—a 19th-century masterpiece of golden stone and timeless elegance, cradled within **15 hectares of enchanted parkland**. Here, a silver river meanders through sun-dappled meadows, past a **heated glasshouse blooming with forgotten florals**, a **champion tennis court echoing with laughter**, and the quiet promise of a **pool waiting to be reborn**—all just **30 minutes from the wild Breton coast** and a fleeting **2.5-hour TGV journey from Paris**.

Step through the **vaulted entry hall**, where the air hums with the scent of aged oak and the faintest trace of lavender from the gardens beyond. This is a home designed for grandeur and intimacy alike: **three luminous reception salons** where candlelight dances across original moldings, a **winter garden bathed in golden light**, and a **chef’s domain**—kitchen, scullery, and larder—ready to orchestrate feasts worthy of kings. The **seven bedrooms**, each a sanctuary of refined taste, unfold across three floors, with **three boasting private baths** swathed in marble, and a **tower suite** crowned by its own hidden retreat, where the view stretches over woodlands whispering with history.

But the true magic lies in the manor’s **legendary soul**. For over two decades, it has played muse to **Brittany’s most breathtaking weddings**, its **grand reception hall—the largest in Côtes d’Armor—hosting 350 guests** beneath chandeliers that have witnessed a thousand toasts. Imagine: **laic ceremonies beneath the dappled shade of century-old trees**, champagne flutes raised on the terrace as the sun dips behind the spires, then a night of revelry in a ballroom where every corner tells a story. Two **80m² guest cottages** stand ready to cradle loved ones in four-poster dreams, while the manor’s bones whisper of **33 more chambers** waiting to be awakened—an entrepreneur’s canvas for a **luxury retreat, a boutique hôtel, or a private estate** where generations gather.

Beyond the manor’s walls, the land unfolds like a living painting: **a storied woodland** where deer pause at dusk, **pastures golden in the afternoon light**, and a **400m² stone outbuilding** brimming with possibility—perhaps a spa, an artist’s atelier, or a cellar for the finest Breton cidre. This is **more than a property**; it is a legacy, a **rare jewel in Brittany’s crown**, where the **TGV’s proximity to Paris** feels worlds away from the hush of the river bending through your domain.

To own Le Manoir de la Bruyère is to hold the key to a **life where every day unfolds like a sonnet**—where mornings begin with coffee in the winter garden, afternoons drift into tennis matches or strolls to the sea, and evenings dissolve into **dinners beneath stars that have guided Breton sailors for centuries**. It is **exclusivity with a heartbeat**, a place where history and future entwine. And now, for the first time in a generation, its gates stand open—for the visionary, the romantic, the one who recognizes that **some homes are not merely bought, but inherited by the soul**.
