Set in the lovely southwestern part of France, close to both the sea and the mountains, is the expansive Nouvelle-Aquitaine, one of the country’s most diverse regions. Thanks to its location and the several towns it encompasses, the area has so much to offer: summer and winter activities, a breadth of property styles, a vast selection of gourmet experiences, particularly for wine lovers, and phenomenal weather with all four seasons.
France’s Nouvelle-Aquitaine region is revered for its delicious cuisine, charming stone properties and slow pace of life, complete with numerous beaches to choose from as well as quiet, countryside settings. Notably, the Tour de France passes through the region, and it’s a popular destination for mountain sports, too, like hiking and skiing.
Where is Nouvelle-Aquitaine?
Set in southwestern France, the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region was created in 2016 by combining Aquitaine, Poitou-Charentes and Limousin as part of a plan to bring France’s 21 metropolitan regions down to 13. Today, it’s the largest of the 13 metropolitan regions, and its capital is Bordeaux, located on the Garonne and famous for its wine-growing. To the south of Nouvelle-Aquitaine are the Pyrénées mountains and Spain, and the Atlantic Ocean is on its west. Nouvelle-Aquitaine is highly accessible, with train stations and international airports nearby.
What Makes Nouvelle-Aquitaine Popular With Property Buyers?
While the climate will differ depending on where you are in the region, meaning you can likely find a somewhere with the temperatures you prefer, Nouvelle-Aquitaine is said to experience four true seasons. You can expect early springs, warm summers, long autumns and crisp, short winters. Even at its warmest, the area doesn’t get as sweltering as the south of France, yet is warm enough for sunbathing and swimming.
Visit the country’s largest forest in Les Landes or look for a home in a riverside village. Get energised by the city settings of Biarritz and Bordeaux. Explore the castles and medieval villages of Dordogne and Lot-et-Garonne. And to relax, head to one of the many seaside resorts – you may even get to watch surfers out on the water.
With multiple departments making up Nouvelle-Aquitaine, there are various cultures, histories and traditions to learn about and take part in. By the Spanish border in the far south, you’ll notice culture and cuisine influenced by Spain, while inland, the typical French countryside lifestyle abounds. Nouvelle-Aquitaine is also the leading agricultural region in France, affording it a diverse selection of farms and vineyards.
Types of Property for Sale in Nouvelle-Aquitaine
Since Nouvelle-Aquitaine is a large area, there are a variety of property styles to choose from. Notable features of properties in the area include large country kitchens, traditional bread ovens and outbuildings that provide extra living, working or parking space. Many homes have private courtyards, patios or covered terraces, too, as well as vegetable gardens.
You can find village houses with charming characteristics like colorful shutters, wooden beams and exposed stone walls. There are also Basque-style farmhouses, which are usually three floors, with a sloping roof and stables. Some areas are known for Charentaise houses, which are rectangular, stone-built, one or two stories, and often have a lot of accompanying land.
Some homes have stayed true to their traditional roots, while others, even those dating back to the 1800s, have been thoroughly modernised, with sleek, minimalist style and luxury features like underfloor heating, hot tubs and infinity pools. While it’s easy to find renovated homes in Nouvelle-Aquitaine that are move-in ready, if you’re looking for a project, there are also properties available that need some work – presenting the perfect opportunity to create the space of your dreams.
How to Buy Property in Nouvelle-Aquitaine
When you’re searching for property for sale in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, consider working with a specialist property agent. You’ll have access to unlisted homes, and you’ll benefit from expert knowledge of the area and the French buying process. Your property agent will be by your side from start to finish.
Once you’ve found a home you can see yourself living in, you’ll need to make an official offer in writing and present it to the property owner. If the offer is accepted, both you and the owner will sign the initial contract, called the Compromise de Vente. This includes details about the property and the sale, but it’s not a finalised version.
During the following 10-day cooling-off period, you can change your mind about the purchase without any penalties. If you decide to continue with the purchase, there’s a 12-week conveying process during which various home assessments will take place. This gives you the opportunity to work out specifics with the seller before moving forward.
The last step of the process is when the deed, called the Acte de Vente, is signed by you and the owner. The final payment is due at this time, and then the home will be yours! We also have a complete guide to buying property in France with more information.
