Luxury properties, villas, and homes for sale in Cap Ferret, France

The Cap Ferret peninsula enjoys a unique geographical location that makes it one of the most sought-after areas on the French coast. This strip of land, approximately 25 kilometres long, offers an exceptional living environment, combining oyster farming traditions, life under the pine trees and luxury holiday resorts.

Its proximity to Bordeaux, less than an hour away, allows residents to enjoy the benefits of a dynamic city while living in a preserved environment. Paris is also only 2 hours 45 minutes away by train and then car.

The microclimate of the Arcachon bay, protected from prevailing winds by the famous Dune du Pilat and the Landes pine forest, guarantees optimal sunshine and mild temperatures for most of the year.

You will discover contemporary properties with clean lines, harmoniously integrated into their natural environment, as well as traditional Cap Ferret villas, often built of wood, with their colourful shutters and gardens shaded by maritime pines.

Each luxury wooden cabin and villa we offer meets rigorous standards of excellence. The surface areas generally range from 100 to 300 m², sometimes on fairly large plots of land. Many of them offer exceptional views of the Arcachon basin or the pine forests that make the region so unique.

The architecture often combines local charm with the latest innovations in comfort, home appliances and contemporary design.

Our prestigious frontline villas offer spectacular sea views over the Arcachon Bay, a true symbol of Ferret-Capian luxury.
