Property for sale in Bas-Rhin

Bas-Rhin sits on the German border in northern Alsace, its capital, Strasbourg, home to the European Parliament and well connected by rail across the surrounding region. This makes the department an unusually international base for buyers wanting more than just a French address. Grounded in Alsatian history, Bas-Rhin is home to Strasbourg's Gothic cathedral and UNESCO-listed old town, and to the Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg, which looks out over the Alsace plain from 755 metres up. Away from the main historic attractions, buyers will find the half-timbered, flower-covered villages of Mittelbergheim and Hunspach, and the wine town of Obernai, combining vineyards with a well-preserved historic centre. Bas-Rhin is also noted for its wine and gastronomy, with the Alsace wine route running through some of the department's prettiest countryside. A continental climate brings warm summers and cold winters. Property here ranges from a city apartment in Strasbourg, a vineyard property along the wine route or a half-timbered village house. With European connections, heritage and wine country, it remains among France's most distinctive departments. Houses in Bas-Rhin currently average €2,212/m².
