Welcome to ma-propriete.fr, the leading portal dedicated to luxury real estate and rural properties. If you are looking for an exceptional estate, a historic residence or a beautiful property with character, you have come to the right place.

Luxury real estate in France is not limited to penthouses in Paris or palaces on the Côte d'Azur. There is a vibrant, authentic and passionate market for properties with soul. 

France: discover French elegance here, from 17th-century châteaux nestled in lush green surroundings to luxury villas with breathtaking sea views.

Luxury Real Estate in France: Between History and Lifestyle

France is renowned worldwide for its art de vivre and rich architecture. The luxury property market there is unique because it offers an incredible diversity of styles and eras.

A Unique Rural and Historical Heritage

Unlike purely residential markets, the luxury rural property segment appeals for its authenticity. Buyers, whether French or international, are not just looking for a roof over their heads, but an experience.
There are several key categories:

 

  • Castles and Manor Houses: From medieval fortified castles to 19th-century country estates, these buildings offer spacious interiors and elegant architecture.
  • Rural Properties of Character: Renovated farmhouses, mills, chartreuses in the South-West or farmhouses in Provence. These properties combine the charm of old stone with modern comfort.
  • Mansions and private residences: Often located in the heart of a village or close to the town centre, these luxury homes bear witness to the social success of the notables of yesteryear. A 19th-century residence in the heart of town offers the tranquillity of an enclosed garden while being close to amenities.

 

Popular Geographical Areas

While Paris remains a showcase, luxury real estate is thriving throughout the country.

  • The South and Provence attract visitors with their sunshine and villas with swimming pools.
  • The French Riviera (Cannes, Nice, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Monaco) remains the jewel in the crown for luxury villas by the sea or in the hills of the hinterland.
  • The South-West (Bordeaux, Toulouse) and the Dordogne are popular for their large wine estates and châteaux.
  • Brittany and the west coast offer granite manor houses facing the ocean.
  • The mountains offer high-end chalets for skiing and nature enthusiasts.

Castle and Luxury Property Market Awards

Estimating the value of a luxury property is complex. Unlike a standard flat, the price is not determined solely by square footage, but also by the emotion, history and condition of the property.

Trends and Price Ranges

The market is currently buoyant. Following the health crisis, the desire for greenery, space and tranquillity has boosted demand for luxury properties in the countryside.

 

  • Castles to renovate: It is still possible to buy a small castle or manor house to renovate for between €500,000 and €800,000, depending on the region. This is an opportunity for those who enjoy renovation work.
  • Renovated Castles and Estates: For an old property in excellent condition, with grounds, a swimming pool and outbuildings, prices generally range from €1.5 million to €5 million.
  • The exception: Properties classified as historic monuments, grand cru vineyards or ultra-exclusive villas on the French Riviera or in Paris can fetch tens of millions of euros.

 

Investing in a prestigious property is also a way of investing in your assets. Real estate remains a safe haven, and tax measures (Malraux Law, Historic Monuments) can support the maintenance of this heritage.

The services of ma-propriete.fr for buyers

Do you dream of buying a historic villa or castle? Ma-propriete.fr simplifies your purchasing journey with a carefully curated selection of luxury property listings.

Targeted and Effective Research

Our search engine allows you to filter luxury properties according to your most demanding criteria:

 

  • Type of property: Select "Castle", "Manor house", "Historic monument", "Wine estate" or "Mansion".
  • Location: Target a specific region (e.g. Loire Valley, Luberon), a county or a town (search within a 30 km radius).
  • Features: Search for a luxury property with a swimming pool, grounds, caretaker's house or unobstructed views.
  • Budget: Access properties ranging from €500,000 to several million euros.

 

Detailed Advertisements

Each listing is designed to give you a feel for the property. You will find:

  • High-definition photos highlighting the elegant architecture and exteriors.
  • A detailed description of the number of rooms, bedrooms, land area (in hectares) and period features (fireplaces, parquet flooring, mouldings).
  • Information about nearby amenities (TGV station, airport, town).

Whether you are looking for a primary residence, a second home, or a place to develop a tourism business (bed and breakfast, weddings), we have the offer that meets your expectations.

The services offered by ma-propriete.fr for sellers

Are you a property owner or estate agent specialising in luxury properties? Selling an exceptional property requires a bespoke approach.

Targeted and International Visibility

Advertising your property on ma-propriete.fr means reaching a qualified audience of French and international buyers. Our visitors are not just looking for a place to live, they are looking for an exceptional property.

  • Showcasing: We offer a digital showcase for your castles for sale or luxury villas.
  • Network: We collaborate with numerous prestigious estate agencies and property valuation firms.

Expertise and Valuation

Selling an unusual property requires an accurate valuation. A listed castle cannot be valued in the same way as a traditional house. Thanks to our knowledge of the property market, we can help you position your property at the right price. We can put you in touch with a property expert or heritage architect to help you maximise your property's potential (restoration work, conversion of outbuildings into lofts, etc.).

Other Services and Support

The acquisition of a prestigious property is often a once-in-a-lifetime project. Beyond the sale itself, we support you throughout the entire process.

Investment and Taxation

Purchasing a historic monument or a residence in a ZPPAUP (protected architectural, urban and landscape area) offers powerful tax exemption incentives. Our partners (firms specialising in luxury real estate) can advise you on setting up the transaction (SCI, own name) and optimising the deed of sale.

Renovation and Art

For properties in need of renovation, they can refer you to skilled craftsmen who can restore slate roofs and period woodwork, or build a swimming pool integrated into a listed site. Bringing an old property back to life means contributing to the preservation of French heritage.

Career Plan

Many buyers want to make their investment profitable. Transforming an estate into a boutique hotel, creating a seminar venue in the countryside, or running a wine-growing property requires entrepreneurial vision. We publish news and advice on how to make this type of project a success.

In short, ma-propriete.fr is much more than just a classifieds website. It is a club for lovers of beautiful stone buildings. Whether you want to sell your family manor house in Brittany, buy a renovated country house in the Var, or invest in a historic investment property in Lyon or Bordeaux, our team and our tools are at your service.

Discover our exclusive selection now and let yourself be charmed by the beauty and prestige of our regions.
