Guéthary is a collection of micro-markets

Even within this small village, no two properties are the same. Oceanfront addresses, elevated hillside villas, and quiet inland lanes all offer distinct levels of privacy, views, accessibility, and rental appeal. We guide buyers toward the precise location that aligns with lifestyle and long-term objectives.

Village Centre & Front de Mer — Authenticity & Walkability
Parlementia & Coastal Heights — Views & Prestige
Inland Guéthary / Ahetze Border — Space & Residential Calm

Process of work

Ryan's insight

“Guéthary may be small, but it’s far from a uniform market. Each area has its own rhythm – from the lively village centre in summer to the quieter residential pockets just a few minutes away. A home that feels ideal for holiday use isn’t always suited to year-round living, and factors such as walkability, exposure to seasonal activity, and privacy vary significantly from one street to another. Our role is to help buyers understand these nuances early, so their property matches not only their vision of Guéthary, but how they truly intend to live, use, and enjoy it over time.”

CLIENT REVIEWS & CASE STUDIES

Our client purchases & case studies offer a detailed look into the transactions we supported and the outcomes we helped our clients achieve. Explore these real examples to understand how informed decisions lead to exceptional results.

Recently we acquired a charming village house for our family in the centre of Bidart, near Biarritz, on the Basque Coast. Such a decision is not only a matter of money and value but first and foremost a matter of trust - especially as the entire process had to be managed from abroad as we live in Vienna, Austria. Through facilitating an individual decision making process Ryan provided a tailor made solution in accordance with all our personal preferences! In addition to that we experienced his reliable and proactive support throughout the legal and financial procedures! We are still in good contact with Ryan and would always come back to him for any kind of real estate solutions!

From the moment we met Ryan at Buyer’s Agent France, he went out of his way to find out exactly what we were looking for. He was very patient with us despite all our silly questions and then spent a day viewing properties. His professional and personal approached filled us with great confidence. Despite not being the selling agent for our property, he acted on our behalf as an intermediary. We are now enjoying our first holiday in our Praz sur Arly apartment near Megeve and could not be happier. He also introduced us to a great notaire in Sallanches. We are so fortunate to have stepped into his office! To find our dream home in The French Alps!

Simply brilliant! - only showed me properties in The French Alps relevant to my criteria and made the whole purchasing process so easy. Highly recommended.

Having spent many years searching independently for a property in France we came across Ryan at Buyer's Agent France and never looked back. He took our requirements and built a weekend of property viewings that surpassed our expectations, resulting in us buying our beautiful farm house near Forcalquier in Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur. Many thanks Ryan we couldn't have done it without you.

Buy to Rent / Invest in Guéthary

Guéthary is largely a niche, premium lifestyle-driven market. Houses here tend to trade between €8,000 and €12,000 per m², with prime ocean-view properties easily going for more than €2,000,000 due to limited availability and location. Apartments command similarly elevated pricing along the coast or in central settings.

Rental demand is highly seasonal, peaking from late spring through early autumn, driven by surf tourism, proximity to Biarritz, and the broader Basque Coast reputation. Properties with sea views, terraces, and walking access to the village tend to be the most sought after.

Note: Rental figures are indicative and vary by property type, positioning, and management strategy

Long-Term Value in Guéthary

Guéthary remains one of the most resilient micro-markets on France’s Atlantic coast. Its property value proposition is firmly anchored in location, architectural integrity, and scarcity.

Key Drivers:

  • Limited availability of ocean-proximate properties
  • Growing demand from Parisian and international buyers
  • Protected village scale preventing overdevelopment
  • Enduring appeal of the Basque Coast lifestyle

Ownership here is typically seen as a long-term lifestyle acquisition combined with capital preservation.
