Buy a maison de maître near Étretat

In the Pays de Caux, the maison de maître, the period family house of standing, is built in brick and flint, symmetrical, on two floors, often at the heart of a clos-masure, a farmstead ringed with beech-planted banks: in Les Loges, Bordeaux-Saint-Clair or Le Tilleul, a few minutes from the cliffs of Étretat. Home Select hunts it before it lists and brings you over only for the decisive viewings.

The essentials

Home Select, buyer’s agent in Étretat, searches for maisons de maître exclusively on the buyer’s behalf. The DVF register does not single out this type of property: it counts it among houses, whose median stands at €2,700/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026 (25 sales), a benchmark that the address, the floor area, the land and the condition move. Home Select opens access to off-market properties, with fees 100% on success.

The maison de maître market in Étretat, in figures

A maison de maître for sale near Étretat reads on the house median of the survey, €2,700/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026, in a very narrow market: a few dozen house sales a year in the town, and a wide range between the village house and the house on the plateau. The DVF register does not single out the maison de maître; its value lies in the grounds, the façade, the volumes and the distance from the cliffs.

Demand comes from Paris, two and a half hours away by motorway, from Rouen and Le Havre, and from abroad since the cliffs became a world destination. The clos-masures and their planted banks are protected by planning documents; brick-and-flint buildings need craftsmen who know the technique. Home Select checks every document of the file before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

Buying a maison de maître in Étretat: your questions

What is a clos-masure?

The traditional farmstead of the Pays de Caux: a grassy yard planted with apple trees, where the house and the buildings are scattered, enclosed by banks planted with beech or oak that break the wind. A maison de maître at the heart of a clos-masure sells space and calm a few minutes from the sea; its banks and trees are often protected by the local plan.

A maison de maître on the plateau or a villa in the town of Étretat?

The town villa sells the pebble beach and the cliffs on foot, on small plots; the maison de maître on the plateau sells the grounds, the outbuildings and calm, with the car for the sea. Both read on the house median, €2,700/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026, the view and the land making most of the gap.

What does a maison de maître in Étretat cost?

No public statistic singles out this type of property: the DVF register counts it among houses, whose median stands at €2,700/m² across 25 sales recorded over the 12 months to end of June 2026 (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, October 2026 release, 12 months to end of June 2026). It is a reading benchmark, not an appraisal: the address, the floor area, the land, the view and the condition make the price of each property, and Home Select documents it sale by sale before any offer.

How long does it take to buy in Étretat with a buyer’s agent?

The calendar depends on how rare the target property is in Étretat and on your availability: Home Select frames it at the brief, then holds it. Properties are first seen on video, and your decisive viewings are grouped into a single trip.

How do you reach off-market properties in Étretat?

Through the network and direct approach: Home Select receives more than 100 properties every day from its 15,000 professional partners before they go on sale, and also contacts owners when the setting calls for it. In Étretat, the monitoring starts with two sectors: the borough and the beach, then the Aval cliff and the Aiguille. That is often where the unfindable property is.

What are your fees for buying a maison de maître in Étretat?

Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Étretat, charges 2.5% of the net purchase price (minimum €10,000 incl. VAT) on the Exclusive offer, or 1.5% on the Confidential offer for projects of €2m and above, plus 10% of the negotiated reduction in both cases. Home Select is paid on success only, and also on what you save: nothing is due until you have bought.
