Carp Fishery with Renovated Stone Cottage and 23 Acres of Land

Established 7-Acre Carp Fishery with Renovated Stone Cottage and 23 Acres of Land – Close to St Malo and Caen

A rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational “drive-and-survive” carp fishing business with a mature, well-stocked 7-acre lake set in more than 23 acres of private parkland. The property also includes a beautifully renovated two-bedroom stone cottage and extensive land suitable for horses, smallholding, or self-sufficiency projects. Perfectly located just one hour from St Malo and 90 minutes from Caen, it is ideally positioned for British anglers.

The House
The detached stone cottage has been fully renovated to a high standard and is ready to move into with no further work required. It is located away from the lake, ensuring privacy and a peaceful living environment.

• Ground floor: open-plan living space of approx. 40m² with fitted kitchen, dining area, and lounge featuring a wood-burning stove.

• First floor: mezzanine/office, two bedrooms, and a bathroom with bath, shower, and WC.

The property has its own private access, separate from the fishery.

The Lake
The centrepiece is a 7-acre spring-fed quarry lake with granite lining, an average depth of 4.5ft and a maximum of 8ft. It is surrounded by mature, tree-lined banks and has six well-prepared swims. The lake benefits from closed-water status and features an island, gullies, boulders, and feeding holes, offering varied challenges for anglers.

Current stock includes around 140 pristine carp with weights over 40lb and an average of 26lb, with a healthy balance of commons and mirrors. All fish are included in the sale.

Fishing is run on a drive-and-survive model, with ample space for bivvies at each swim. Additional angler facilities—showers and WCs—are provided in a detached outbuilding, separate from the main house. The venue is suited to a maximum of four anglers, with the season running March to October. With scope to add food and bait packages, revenue potential can be significantly increased.

The Land
The estate’s 23+ acres offer outstanding scope and variety. Alongside natural woodland and pasture, there are two large, well-defined fields: one of over 8 acres positioned behind the lake, bordered by mature trees, and another of approx. 2.5 acres near the house. Each field benefits from its own private access. The land is well-suited for equestrian use, livestock, or agricultural projects.

Accessibility
With St Malo just one hour away and Caen within 90 minutes, the property is exceptionally convenient for UK-based anglers and also attractive to Dutch, Belgian, and French visitors.
