Property for sale in Landes

Landes stretches along more than sixty miles of Atlantic coastline, backed by the largest man-made forest in Europe, best known among the French themselves for its surfing beaches and rolling dunes. Good road links keep Mont-de-Marsan and the coast well connected to Bordeaux and beyond. Deeply rooted in Gascon history, Landes is home to Mont-de-Marsan's traditional bullfighting culture, and to the spa town of Dax, with its long-standing thermal baths. Elsewhere in the department, buyers will find the surfing resorts of Biscarrosse and Hossegor along the coast, and the foie gras and vineyard country of the Chalosse further inland. Landes is recognised too for its gastronomy, with foie gras a local speciality throughout the department. A mild Atlantic climate brings warm summers and gentle winters. Options on the market range from a coastal villa suited to surfing and beach life, a traditional Landes farmhouse inland or a townhouse in Mont-de-Marsan or Dax. With surf culture, gastronomy and coastal appeal, it remains one of the most distinctive departments on the Atlantic coast. For buyers considering the local property market, the average price for a house in Landes is €1,750/m².
