Picture yourself stepping through the front door of your Brittany retreat on a crisp autumn morning, sunlight streaming through the windows as the scent of fresh coffee mingles with the earthy aroma of the surrounding countryside. This is your invitation to experience the authentic rhythm of rural French life in Guégon, where village bakeries still sell warm baguettes at dawn and neighbors greet each other by name in the weekly market square. This substantial 110m² detached house with its full basement and generous grounds offers international buyers a rare opportunity to own a versatile vacation home in the heart of Morbihan, perfectly positioned for exploring Brittany's legendary coastline while enjoying the tranquility of countryside living. The ground floor welcomes you with a spacious entrance hall that sets the tone for comfortable family gatherings. The 24m² living room anchors the home, centered around a traditional fireplace where you'll spend countless evenings warming yourself after days exploring megalithic sites or coastal walking trails. French doors open directly onto a terrace, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow for summer dining under Brittany's famously long twilight hours.

Ascending the well-crafted staircase, you discover two additional bedrooms on the upper level, each offering peaceful garden views and ample natural light. The office space provides a practical workspace for remote working or could easily convert to a fourth bedroom, making this property adaptable to your evolving vacation home needs. A second shower room with WC on this floor ensures morning routines run smoothly when the house fills with family and friends during holiday periods. The full basement distinguishes this property from typical vacation homes in the region. This climate-controlled space beneath the house offers a garage for vehicle protection during extended absences, a dedicated laundry room that keeps vacation chores organized, and a boiler room housing the oil heating system that ensures year-round comfort. For international owners seeking storage for sporting equipment, bicycles, or seasonal furniture, this basement provides invaluable space that significantly enhances the property's functionality as a second home. Outside, the 1,583m² grounds offer multiple lifestyle zones. A courtyard accommodates several vehicles, essential for the spontaneous day trips that define Brittany vacations. The leisure garden provides space for children to play safely, for establishing a vegetable patch that connects you to French gardening traditions, or for creating outdoor entertainment areas where long summer lunches extend into evening gatherings. The open views across surrounding countryside deliver the visual expansiveness that makes rural Brittany so restorative for city dwellers seeking weekend escapes. Guégon itself provides the essential services that make vacation home ownership practical. Village shops, a bakery, and local services sit within comfortable walking distance, allowing you to adopt the French tradition of daily fresh food shopping. The weekly markets bring regional producers selling everything from artisanal cheeses to just-picked vegetables, immersing you in authentic food culture that transforms meal preparation into cultural exploration. Morbihan's position in southeastern Brittany places you at the crossroads of the region's most compelling attractions. The Gulf of Morbihan lies approximately 45 kilometers south, where protected waters create the microclimate that has made this coastline famous throughout France. Vannes, the historic departmental capital with its medieval ramparts and cobbled streets, offers sophisticated dining, shopping, and cultural programming just 30 minutes by car. The legendary Carnac stones, those mysterious megalithic alignments predating Stonehenge, stand nearby as testament to the region's ancient human history. Throughout the year, Morbihan reveals different faces. Spring brings explosive wildflower displays across the countryside and the opening of coastal restaurants after winter closure. Summer delivers the warm, sun-drenched days when Brittany's beaches fill with families and the Gulf islands become accessible by regular boat services. Autumn paints the bocage landscape in copper and gold while mushroom foraging becomes a weekend ritual. Even winter holds appeal, with fierce Atlantic storms creating dramatic coastal spectacles and cozy village restaurants serving hearty Breton specialties. The region's culinary identity centers on seafood hauled daily from Atlantic waters. Oyster beds in the Gulf of Morbihan produce some of France's finest, available at markets and restaurants throughout the area. Traditional galettes and crepes remain menu staples, while local ciders and the region's distinctive Chouchen honey wine accompany meals. Coastal towns offer everything from Michelin-starred establishments to family-run creperies where recipes pass through generations. For active vacation seekers, Morbihan delivers year-round opportunities. The GR34 coastal path traces hundreds of kilometers of shoreline, offering walking routes from gentle family strolls to challenging day hikes. Cycling routes crisscross the interior, connecting villages through landscapes of fields, forests, and traditional farms. Water sports flourish along the coast, with sailing schools, kayak rentals, and diving operations catering to all skill levels. Golf courses, tennis clubs, and equestrian centers provide additional recreational options. Cultural programming fills the calendar. Summer festivals celebrate Breton music, dance, and maritime heritage, with the Interceltique Festival in Lorient drawing international performers each August. Local museums preserve agricultural and maritime traditions, while art galleries showcase contemporary work alongside traditional Breton crafts. Theater productions, concerts, and exhibitions ensure cultural engagement remains accessible throughout your ownership. Accessibility proves straightforward for international owners. Rennes airport sits approximately 90 kilometers northeast, offering connections to major European cities and London. Nantes airport provides additional options slightly farther south. The TGV high-speed rail network connects Vannes to Paris in under three hours, making weekend visits entirely feasible even for owners based elsewhere in Europe. The N24 and N166 highways provide efficient road connections throughout Brittany and into neighboring regions. As a vacation home investment, this property presents compelling fundamentals. The EUR 210,000 price point positions it accessibly for international buyers seeking European second homes without stratospheric capital commitments. The move-in ready condition eliminates immediate renovation demands, allowing you to begin enjoying the property immediately while planning any future personalization. The full basement and generous grounds provide inherent flexibility, whether you envision expanding living space, developing gardens, or adding amenities like a pool. Morbihan's established vacation rental market offers income potential during periods when you're not using the property personally. Brittany's consistent appeal to French and international tourists creates reliable demand, particularly during summer months and school holiday periods. The property's proximity to both countryside tranquility and coastal attractions positions it well for rental marketing, while the three-bedroom configuration accommodates families who form the core rental demographic. For international buyers, French property ownership follows well-established procedures. The notaire system provides legal oversight and buyer protection, with typical notary fees around 7-8% of purchase price for properties at this value point. Foreign buyers face no restrictions on purchasing French property, and various ownership structures accommodate different tax situations.
