5 acre lake with 3 bedroom house in Mayenne

A superbly stocked 5-acre carp lake with an ongoing, proven business model, set within a peaceful and private environment. The estate includes a three-bedroom family home and a mobile home offering additional angler accommodation. Ideally located close to local amenities and within easy reach of the Channel ferry ports, this is a genuine plug-and-play opportunity for anyone wishing to run their own fishing business.

The House

The main residence is a well-presented pavilion-style home, with all rooms on a single floor. It features:

• Spacious lounge/dining room with wood-burning stove

• Fully fitted kitchen

• Three bedrooms

• Shower room with WC

Both the living areas and bedrooms enjoy beautiful views over the lake while maintaining privacy from guests fishing on the water.

Attached to the house is a garage/workshop, accessible from the kitchen, which also houses the central heating boiler. A cellar at the rear of the property provides additional storage space.

The Lake

The centrepiece of the property is the 5-acre lake, fully classed as closed waters and spring-fed. The lakebed consists of light silt over clay, with year-round depths reaching up to 2m at the deepest points.

Seven well-laid-out social swims make the lake ideal for groups of three to four anglers. Guests have the choice of “drive-and-survive” fishing on the banks or staying in the mobile home. Additional facilities include a shower/toilet block and a detached dependence that serves as a communal dining and social area.

The lake is stocked with around 150 immaculate carp, averaging 32lbs, including at least ten fish over 40lbs and three over 50lbs. Pike are also present, with specimens up to 30lbs. The sale includes all fish stocks and fishing equipment, as the current owners are retiring, making this a ready-to-go business package.

Location & Lifestyle

Set in total privacy with no visible neighbours, the property lies midway between the village of Larchamp and the larger town of Ernée. Its convenient position under 90 minutes from St Malo and less than two hours from Caen makes it highly attractive for British anglers visiting France.
