A Source-Fed Carp Fishing Lake with Mobile Home Set on 1.4 Acres in a Peaceful Rural Setting

Property Description

EXCLUSIVE – A Hidden Countryside Retreat on the Brittany Border
Tucked away in the rolling countryside of Mayenne (Pays de la Loire), right on the border of Brittany, this truly idyllic property offers a rare sense of seclusion and natural beauty. Surrounded by open fields and with no immediate neighbours, it is accessed via a charming private track leading solely to the property—enhancing its peaceful, away-from-it-all appeal.
This unique setting, combining the character of two beloved regions, makes it an exceptional escape for nature lovers, anglers, or anyone seeking tranquility. While the property has been unoccupied for around five years and now requires substantial clearing and restoration, it presents an exciting opportunity to create a bespoke leisure or fishing haven.
The Lake
A picturesque carp lake extending to approximately 0.84 acres, formerly well maintained with stone-lined banks and full perimeter access.
Natural spring-fed water supply
Depths ranging from 0.75m to 2.75m
Previously de-silted (2006)
Equipped with sluice system and fish breeding area
Historically stocked with common and mirror carp (current stock unknown)
Current condition:
The lake is currently overfull due to a diverted stream flowing directly into it. Water continues downstream, though access around the lake is now more challenging, requiring wellington boots in places.
The Land
Total plot: 5,850 m² (approx. 1.4 acres)
Private, rural setting with no overlooking neighbours
Access via a country lane and private track
Important:
The access track requires clearing and is currently not passable by vehicle. Parts of the land are overgrown, with some fallen trees to be managed—offering scope to reshape and enhance the landscape to your vision.

Positioned near the entrance, a previously renovated mobile home provides a base for restoration:
Layout:
Living room with corner kitchen (approx. 2.80m x 5.00m)
One bedroom with built-in storage
Shower room (space for chemical toilet)
Features:
Laminate flooring
Gas cooker
Well water supply
Solar panels (installed but unused for several years)
Condition:
Requires cleaning, updating, and full system checks (water, solar, etc.).

16 km from Fougères, a historic town known for one of Europe’s largest medieval castles
Overview
A rare opportunity to acquire a private fishing lake in a beautifully ????, nature-rich setting, perfectly positioned between Mayenne and Brittany. With vision and restoration, this property could become a truly special retreat or leisure project with strong long-term potential.
