Buying in Saint-Martin-de-Ré means settling into the only town on Île de Ré inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List. The Vauban fortifications have encircled the city since 1681 and give it a distinctive character found nowhere else on the island.
The port still shelters a few fishing boats, but today, it is mainly the walk around the basins — with its restaurants, café terraces and shops — that sets the rhythm of local life.
The covered market, open every morning in season, remains the best barometer of the village's vitality. You meet long-time owners and newcomers alike.
The average price per m² for houses in Saint-Martin-de-Ré ranges between 6,000 and 9,300 €, with sea-view homes selling on average at over 20,000 €/m² (source: immobilier.notaires.fr). Depending on surface area and finish, prices range from 700,000 € to over 3 million euros.
Buyers in Saint-Martin often come from Paris, London or Brussels.
Three things make this village unique. First, the ramparts strictly limit new construction within the walls and explain the scarcity of available properties. Second, the concentration of year-round shops and restaurants makes life enjoyable here even out of season. Third, the immediate proximity of the port places every property within a 10-minute walk of the quay, or a short bike ride to the Cible beach or those of Le Bois-Plage.
