Costaérès

Just 700 meters from the charming fishing village of Ploumanac’h, facing Brittany's illustrious Pink Granite Coast, lies this lushly planted island, home to a magnificent 19th-century château. Built between 1892 and 1896 by the Lithuanian-Polish mathematician, engineer, and inventor Bruno Abdank-Abakanowicz, the château was constructed in neo-Gothic style, modelled after medieval castles. It was once a meeting place for many Polish artists, including the Nobel Prize-winning author Henryk Sienkiewicz, who wrote Quo Vadis at the château, which was published in 1895.

The property, situated on a 2.5-acre island, includes two sandy beaches and offers breath-taking views of the Côte de Granit Rose. The island is also home to a romantic reddish granite rocky coastline. Renovated and lovingly restored in the 1980s, the château provides generous living space over four levels, with a basement. The preserved ancient elements, such as the Knights' Hall—a large reception and banquet hall with a balustrade—give the château its unique historical character. In addition to five spacious bedrooms, the château features several WCs and bathrooms, a fully fitted kitchen, a sauna, a fitness room, a panorama room, a television room, and multiple terraces. Several fireplaces, including one in the Knights' Hall, add to the charm. A dumbwaiter connects the ground and first floors.

The immaculately tended grounds, home to over 200 species of trees, shrubs, flowers, and rock formations, also feature a heated swimming pool (10.5 x 4.5 meters) with massage jets, outbuildings, and two romantic piers. The island is accessible by foot or by 4-wheel drive at low tide, with two landing stages for travel between the island and the mainland. The château is connected to the mainland for water, electricity, and telephone services, offering every modern comfort while maintaining its historical charm.
