Located between Laval and Château-Gontier in southern Mayenne, this exclusive carp fishing retreat has established itself as both a high-end angling venue and a family holiday destination. The estate features two well-stocked lakes filled with immaculate carp suitable for anglers of every level. Alongside the fishing, guests enjoy premium on-site accommodation, complete with a spacious decking area, a built-in jacuzzi, and a heated swimming pool—all positioned to overlook the lakes.

Outdoor Living
A wraparound deck spans the front of the house, with a 30m² covered section perfect for alfresco dining and relaxation. From here, you can enjoy views of the lakes while making use of the sunken rigid jacuzzi and the in-ground heated swimming pool (approx. 8m x 4m), creating an inviting family leisure area.
Fishing Lakes
The property boasts two beautifully landscaped fishing lakes, framed by mature trees and shrubs with numerous natural features for anglers. Substantial works were carried out to deepen the lakes and create underwater structures, resulting in excellent conditions for carp growth. Thanks to careful design and a year-round feeding program, the lakes now host fast-growing, pristine carp. Fully legalised and classed as “closed waters,” they carry no restrictions on private fishing. All maintenance equipment, including aeration systems, is included with the property.
Outbuildings
A wooden barn near the entrance, with mains water and electricity, currently serves as storage, a bait-preparation area, and a workshop/garage.
Land
Covering nearly 11 acres, the estate features a natural valley setting with a stream running alongside the lakes. In addition to the landscaped areas, there is a significant stretch of well-kept pastureland—ideal for horses or other uses.
The estate enjoys complete seclusion, with no neighbouring properties in view, offering peace and privacy while remaining just a short drive from local shops and services. The charming towns of Château-Gontier and Laval are nearby, while international visitors will find travel connections convenient: St Malo port is around 1h40, Caen about 2h50, and Calais approximately 5h—making this an accessible getaway for anglers from the UK.
