Prestige in Bordeaux and its surrounding area
Radia Amar - 08 April 2024
Now only 2 hours from Paris on the TGV, and 40 minutes from Le Bassin d’Arcachon, Bordeaux and its surrounding area of world renown have lots of assets to offer a wealthy clientele in search of a lifestyle “à la française”.
Operating from Bordeaux for the past 12 months, John Taylor - one of the leaders for exceptional real estate since 1864 - reveals its prestige offerings in the finest neighbourhoods of the city and its surrounding area, as far as Le Bassin d’Arcachon and the essential peninsula of Cap Ferret, via Saint-Emilion and the natural region of Le Médoc.
Places synonymous with the art of living “à la française” for many French and foreign esthetes. Since its acquisition by Artcurial and backed by its network of agencies on an international scale, John Taylor has become a leading player as an intermediate for outstanding properties. “When we orchestrate the sale of a private mansion, we can also create passageways to our collaborators, experts in antiques, works of art or collectors’ cars,” explain Alexandre Brachet and Jean-Baptiste Josselin, the agency’s Managers for the south-west. And what about activity in the market? “We have seen the resurgence of a certain dynamism since the start of 2024, after a year when transactions moved forward at a slower pace,” say these two experts in the field.
“This accentuated a tendancy for bargaining over the prices posted. However, top-notch properties in coveted locations, benefitting from a prized address and all the amenities expected at this level of prestige, have not suffered any loss in value and are selling at the price of our estimations.” By way of example, they mention recent sales they have completed for houses in the up-market neighbourhood of Caudéran, fetching 2 and 2.5 million euros in less than one month.
As in all prestige property markets, professionals in John Taylor agencies cultivate with sheer mastery the art of secrecy, and it is not rare that they are entrusted with exclusive mandates for the sale of “off market” properties. Involving discreet clients, these mandates are dealt with in the greatest confidentiality. As for Le Bassin, John Taylor is pleased to announce diversification of its activity with its seasonal rental service operational for the 2024 season on the very exclusive pensinsula of Cap Ferret : a great way of getting a taste of luxury in fantastic villas, to be discovered on the website www.john-taylor.com.
