2.5-Acre Carp Fishing Venue with House, Gîte and Outbuildings – Mayenne

This beautifully presented property offers an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to start a new life—and a business—in France. Currently run as a luxury carp fishing venue, it includes a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom main house and a separate 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom gîte, ideal for visiting anglers, holidaymakers or extended family. The setting is superb: a private 2.5-acre lake, woodland and landscaped gardens in the peaceful Mayenne countryside between Château-Gontier and Le Mans.

The property lends itself perfectly to those who want to expand an already successful business, create a boutique holiday retreat, or simply enjoy a spacious country home in a wonderful environment.

The main house opens into a generous lounge with a fully equipped open-plan kitchen. A large dining room adjoins this space, and the ground floor also provides a practical bedroom with its own shower room and WC. Upstairs, the master suite includes a bath and WC, and there is a further bedroom with its own shower room and WC.

The gîte is equally comfortable, offering three bedrooms and two shower rooms with WCs. It includes a large lounge/dining area and a modern open-plan kitchen. Two bedrooms and one shower room are on the ground floor—ideal for guests with reduced mobility—while the third bedroom and second bathroom are upstairs.

Both properties are fully double-glazed and feature wood-burning stoves in the main living areas. The main house also benefits from gas central heating, making the home and gîte flexible for year-round living and income generation.

The gardens surround the buildings, leading down to the attractive 2.5-acre lake. Fully compliant and well managed, the lake was drained, cleaned and deepened, with current depths ranging from 1 to 4 metres. Stocking has been carefully planned, with around 120 carp now reaching up to 25 kg. Other species include pike and roach, with the welcome absence of poisson chat and crayfish—ensuring a peaceful, enjoyable fishing experience.
