Buy a malouinière or a manor house near Saint-Malo

The malouinière is the country house of the Saint-Malo shipowners, built in the 17th and 18th centuries: granite, a tall slate roof, chimneys, a walled park, in the Clos-Poulet countryside and on the banks of the Rance. It is handed down more than it is sold; Home Select hunts it through families and notaires, and brings you over only for the decisive viewings.

The essentials

Home Select, buyer’s agent in Saint-Malo, searches for manor houses 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 €4,400/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026 (328 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 manor house market in Saint-Malo, in figures

A malouinière or manor for sale around Saint-Malo reads on the house median of the survey, €4,400/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026, as a distant benchmark: the DVF register does not single out these houses, and their value lies in the park, the enclosing walls, the outbuildings, the view of the Rance and the condition of the granite and the roofs. A restored malouinière trades case by case; they change hands one at a time, often through an estate.

Several are protected as historic monuments: protection governs the works, with the historic monuments administration and the Architecte des Bâtiments de France, the state heritage architect, and is read before the offer. Demand comes from Paris, Rennes and abroad, attached to the Emerald Coast. Home Select checks every document of the file before you commit; have the restoration priced by a heritage architect before the offer.

Frequently asked questions

Buying a manor house in Saint-Malo: your questions

What is a malouinière?

A country house built in the 17th and 18th centuries by the shipowners and merchants of Saint-Malo, in the Clos-Poulet: a symmetrical granite façade, a tall, steep slate roof, large chimneys, a walled park and gardens, sometimes a chapel. It differs from the Breton manor, older and more rural. It trades on its park, its walls and its condition; the house median, €4,400/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026, gives only a distant benchmark.

Can a protected malouinière be lived in simply?

Yes: protection as a historic monument prevents neither living in it nor modernising it; it governs the works that touch what is protected, façades, roofs, sometimes interiors and gardens, with the agreement of the administration. It is read before the offer, like the upkeep of a granite house. Home Select checks the file before you commit.

What does a manor house in Saint-Malo cost?

No public statistic singles out this type of property: the DVF register counts it among houses, whose median stands at €4,400/m² across 328 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 Saint-Malo with a buyer’s agent?

The calendar depends on how rare the target property is in Saint-Malo 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 Saint-Malo?

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 Saint-Malo, the monitoring starts with two sectors: Intra-Muros, then Le Sillon and Courtoisville. That is often where the unfindable property is.

What are your fees for buying a manor house in Saint-Malo?

Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Saint-Malo, 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.
