Private mansions within the walls, shipowners' houses, fine village residences: the homes that tell four centuries of island history.
Behind Vauban's fortifications at Saint-Martin, along the quaysides of Ars or around the market square of La Flotte, the island has kept an exceptional built heritage: seventeenth-century town mansions, shipowners' houses, former presbyteries and salt workers' farmhouses of rare proportions. Houses that resemble no other, and that cannot be compared.
Buying a character property calls for particular guidance: the protected perimeters of the Bâtiments de France, materials and craftsmanship, local artisans, the history of the house itself. We put together a complete file on every one of them, and we know the houses that could sell without ever being advertised.

“A character property is not valued per square metre: it is valued on its history, its proportions and the quality of its restoration. That is a craft in itself.”
