Property for sale in Haut-Rhin

Haut-Rhin forms the southern half of Alsace, its capital, Colmar, well connected to the EuroAirport at Basel, which serves France, Switzerland and Germany alike. This makes the department a distinctly international base for buyers. Woven through with wine and architectural history, Haut-Rhin is home to Colmar's canal-lined Petite Venise district and to the fortified town of Neuf-Brisach, designed by the military engineer Vauban and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Beyond the headline sights, buyers will find the village of Eguisheim, listed among the most beautiful in France, and Kaysersberg, voted the French public's favourite village in 2017, and Mulhouse, whose industrial past has been reinvented through car and train museums. Haut-Rhin is equally known for its wine, with Colmar, the capital of Alsatian wine, ringed by vineyards on every side. A continental climate brings warm summers and cold winters. The housing stock runs from a Colmar townhouse, a vineyard property along the wine route or a half-timbered village house, Haut-Rhin offers choice. With wine, architecture and cross-border connections, it remains one of Alsace's most rewarding departments for buyers. For those weighing up the market, houses in Haut-Rhin average €2,131/m².
