Basque Country · Pyrénées-Atlantiques
Between Biarritz and Guéthary, Bidart runs from the heights of the Basque countryside down to the ocean cliffs: a village of Labourd houses around its fronton, the pelota wall, sand beaches at the foot of the cliffs and, to the north, Ilbarritz, with its château and its golf course, on the edge of Biarritz. Here value rests on the real ocean view, the distance to the beach, the condition of the buildings and what the coast still allows.

The essentials
Home Select, a property finder in Bidart since 2011, searches solely on the buyer’s behalf for Basque village houses, properties in Ilbarritz and on the ocean front, and houses on the heights. It gives its clients access to off-market properties, those that never reach a listing, with fees 100% on success: nothing is due before completion.
Bidart at a glance
Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 142 sales were recorded in Bidart: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses.
The median for apartments has moved -4% since June 2022 and +3% over one year: a market correcting, address by address.
Sales range from €4,000/m² to €8,300/m²: address and condition make the price.
The property market in Bidart reads between its two neighbours: Biarritz, more urban, to the north, and Guéthary, rarer and more confidential, to the south. The market splits between apartments in residences and houses, from the Basque village to the villas of the ocean front and the houses of the countryside. Gaps from one address to the next are considerable: the distance to the ocean and the real view make most of the value.
Buyers are families from the Basque conurbation who want more space than Biarritz offers, Parisians and people from Bordeaux buying a second home, and foreigners drawn by the ocean, the surf and the closeness of Spain. What is rare: the Basque village house with its garden, the clifftop villa with an open view, a house in Ilbarritz, near the golf course. Supply is bounded by the ocean and by coastal rules: a view cannot be rebuilt.
What is checked before the offer: the real sea view from each room, rather than a glimpse between two roofs, the setback of buildings from the cliff edge, the condition of co-ownerships exposed to sea spray, the extensions of older houses. Home Select runs the search remotely, with its network of 15,000 partners: every property is qualified on documents and in a video pre-viewing, and the buyer comes only for the decisive viewings, grouped into a single trip.

From the village and its square to Ilbarritz, from the beaches to the heights and the south towards Guéthary: five addresses in one commune.
The centre of Bidart: the fronton, the church of Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption, the shops and the white Basque houses with red or green half-timbering. This is the year-round quarter, where houses of character are rare. Extensions, roof and damp in the older buildings are checked before the offer, like the real distance to the beach.
In the north, on the edge of Biarritz, Ilbarritz brings together the Château d’Ilbarritz, built on the cliff in the late nineteenth century, a nine-hole golf course created in 1988 on the former estate of Baron Albert de l’Espée, and a sand beach. A residential quarter minutes from Biarritz, where view and sea spray set houses apart.
Bidart’s ocean front: sand beaches at the foot of the cliffs, from the Centre beach, the most family-friendly, to Erretegia, the wildest, and, on the corniche, the coastal path that links them from above. Villas and residences sell the view here. The cliffs retreat and crumble: setback and erosion are the first points to survey.
Above the coast, the countryside of Bidart borders Arbonne and Ahetze: houses with gardens, sometimes a distant view of the ocean. You gain land and calm, at the cost of the car to reach the beach and the village. Access, rights of way and drainage off the mains are read in the file before the offer.
In the south of the commune, the Uhabia beach and the slopes facing the ocean lead to Guéthary, close by. Buyers look here for a villa with a view, a few minutes from both villages. The real view, the orientation and the access are judged room by room in a video pre-viewing, before any travel.
White Labourd house with exposed timbers, garden and life on foot around the fronton: the village address of character, to keep for a long time. Extensions and the condition of the older building are checked before the offer.
Clifftop villa or residence near the beaches, with an open view: a sought-after and narrow part of the market. The setback from the cliff edge and the sea spray are checked before the offer.
House with a garden towards Arbonne and Ahetze, in the Basque countryside: more space and calm a few minutes from the ocean, at the cost of the car. Access and drainage are checked.
Three buying profiles to place your own in Bidart. Orientation pointers, which your property finder refines with you at the brief.
Hesitating between two neighbourhoods in Bidart, or between an apartment and a house? Home Select compares them for you, sale by sale and on video pre-viewings, before having you travel.

Life in Bidart runs between the village and the ocean. In the village, the fronton, the church of Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption and the shops keep life going all year; below, the beaches string out at the foot of the cliffs, and the coastal path links them from above, towards Guéthary and Saint-Jean-de-Luz. The risk of rockfall makes walking at the foot of the cliffs inadvisable: the coast is followed from above.
In the north, Ilbarritz has its nine-hole golf course and its château, and Biarritz, a few minutes away, brings its shops, its TGV station and its airport. In the south, Guéthary is close by, and inland the Bidart countryside borders Arbonne and Ahetze. Summer swells the population of the coast; the rest of the year, Bidart goes back to being a village of nearly eight thousand people, living around its square and its fronton.
Three projects, three markets
To invest in Bidart is to buy a rare address between Biarritz and Guéthary, to keep and to pass on. The value rests on the position and the view, which the coast does not allow to be reproduced: what exists will not be replaced. A Basque village house or a villa facing the ocean is kept as a family home or a future main residence. Older houses call for a serious audit of energy, sea spray and extensions before the offer.
Bidart is a complete second address: beaches at the foot of the cliffs, the coastal path, the Ilbarritz golf course, Biarritz Pays Basque airport a few minutes away and the TGV at Biarritz station. Remote management can be delegated (upkeep, caretaking, winter closing), and the quieter off-season makes the house precious.
Settling in Bidart means choosing a village of nearly eight thousand year-round residents, between the ocean and the Basque countryside, with Biarritz next door for services, the TGV station and the airport. The choice lies between the village, where life is on foot, the heights with a garden and closeness to the beaches; the car stays useful to move between them.
Biarritz Pays Basque airport is a few minutes away, and Biarritz La Négresse station, served by the TGV, a few kilometres: Paris is reached in about four hours. The A63 motorway serves the coast, exit Biarritz La Négresse, and opens towards Bayonne, Bordeaux and Spain; San Sebastián is under an hour away. The regional train station at Guéthary, next door, completes the network.
No condition of nationality or residence is required to buy in France. Home Select counts 50% of expatriate or international clients and runs their purchase remotely: video calls, video pre-viewings, and a notarial power of attorney possible to sign without travelling. Tax in the country of residence and inheritance are handled with the notaire and a tax adviser.
The Bidart market follows the rhythm of the Basque coast: spring and the September return carry family decisions, summer saturates the beaches and the roads, and the off-season is the quietest time to view. For a remote buyer, video pre-viewings run all year round, and the decisive viewings are grouped into a single trip, preferably outside the summer.
Property finder in Bidart
We find the property of your dreams
A property finder in Bidart works for the buyer, and the buyer alone: searching, viewing, checking and negotiating on your behalf. The six steps of the search, access to properties that never appear in listings, and Home Select’s two offers are detailed below.
A buyer-side search mandate, a written method, fees due on success. Here is what you entrust to Home Select in Bidart.
They search on your behalf and for you alone, from the written brief to the checking of every document up to the final deed: the six steps are detailed below. Home Select works for the buyer, never for the seller.
A main home, a second home, a pied-à-terre or a long-term wealth purchase in Bidart, whether you are on site or abroad: the search is run remotely, video viewings included, up to the decisive viewing.
Home Select runs two offers, with the same full service: the Exclusive offer, an exclusive mandate, 2.5% of the net purchase price, minimum €10,000 incl. VAT, at every budget; the Confidential offer, a simple mandate reserved for projects of €2m and above, 1.5% of the net purchase price, dedicated to off-market properties. In both cases, nothing is due until you have bought.
The calendar depends on the market in Bidart and on how rare the target property is: Home Select sets it at the first conversation, then holds it, and answers within one working day.
The six steps of your hunt
Everything starts with a thorough conversation: the use of the property, the real budget, the non-negotiable criteria, the calendar. This written framing becomes the roadmap of the hunt, and avoids the months lost viewing beside the point.
A written brief, and a search launched within the week.
Home Select covers the whole market: published listings, and above all what is never displayed anywhere. Home Select receives more than 100 properties every day from its 15,000 professional partners before they go on sale, and approaches owners directly when the setting calls for it.
Home Select receives more than 100 off-market properties from its network every day.
Every lead is verified and analysed for you, on file then on a video viewing: technical sheet, first figures. You only travel for properties that truly match the brief.
You only view the shortlisted properties, your decisive viewings grouped into a single trip.
The offer is drafted and defended by Home Select, complete file in hand. The negotiation covers the price, but also the conditions, the timelines and the works revealed.
Every offer defended with the area’s actual sales in hand.
Preliminary contract read line by line, surveys, co-ownership rules, charges, easements: every document is checked before you commit. Local points of vigilance, from the coast to the mountains, are in Home Select’s checklists.
Every document checked before you commit.
Home Select stays by your side through to the signing before the notaire, and after: contractors, formalities, moving. Its work ends when you are settled in, not when the deed is signed.
A timetable framed at the first conversation, then kept through to the keys.
Discover the method in detail Every step of buying in France
An open ocean view and a glimpse between two roofs are not worth the same, and the listing does not show the gap. In the video pre-viewing with the seller’s agent, Home Select has the view filmed room by room and from the garden, overlooking and orientation included: the gap shows on screen before it is paid for.
The cliffs of the Basque coast retreat and crumble. For a clifftop villa, ask for the exact distance to the edge, the state of the slope and the drainage, and what the planning document still allows. Read the risk statement in the file and have the ground surveyed before the offer: land that recedes has a price.
The old Basque house has often been enlarged by successive owners: verandas, converted attics, outbuildings. Check the permits and the compliance of each extension, then the frame, the roof, the damp and the drainage. Have the works costed before the offer: it avoids paying twice for the same house.
A property finder answers within one working day. A first confidential conversation, with no commitment.
A share of the finest sales in Bidart completes without ever being listed. Home Select receives more than 100 properties every day from its 15,000 professional partners before publication, and also approaches owners directly when the setting calls for it.
These properties are not online: they are shown against a written brief, never a listing. Yours begins with a conversation.

Google reviews, gathered through fifteen years of searches. Reviews are quoted in the language their authors wrote them in. 4.8/5 on Google · 1,200+ buyers guided. Client reviews
The questions common to every city (purchase costs, remote search, choosing your finder) are gathered on one page: all the frequently asked questions.
Because the local market has its own rules. An ocean front of retreating cliffs: the setback from the edge and the erosion are checked before any offer. A property finder works for you alone, on the buyer’s side: daily monitoring, access to off-market sales, strict shortlisting and negotiation. Since 2011, Home Select has run more than 1,200 searches with this method, rated 4.8/5 on Google.
Based on actual recorded sales (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, October 2026 release, 12 months to end of June 2026), the median price in Bidart stands at €6,100/m² for an apartment and €6,700/m² for a house. The highest-priced sector in the survey: Guéthary, €7,700/m² median. These medians are market benchmarks, not an appraisal: the address, the floor, the condition and scarcity make the final price.
Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 3 rooms traded at a median of €6,100/m², on a median surface of 62 sqm (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, October 2026 release, 12 months to end of June 2026). A median home of the bracket changes hands around €378,000; condition, floor and address then make the rest of the price.
Two neighbouring villages, two scales. Bidart is larger: a village, beaches, Ilbarritz and its countryside, with houses and apartments. Guéthary is the smallest seaside resort of the Basque Country, with a more confidential market. The right choice follows the use: space and variety on one side, scarcity on the other.
Yes, but rarely through a listing: Basque village houses with their gardens and well-placed villas change hands discreetly, often between professionals and by direct approach. The right method is to set the brief, then be shown properties before they are listed: this is where Home Select hunts.
Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 142 sales were recorded in Bidart: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses. The median for apartments has moved -4% since June 2022 and +3% over one year: a market correcting, address by address.
The calendar depends on how rare the target property is in Bidart 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.
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 Bidart, the monitoring starts with two sectors: the village and its square, then Ilbarritz. That is often where the unfindable property is.
It depends on the use. For village life and the Basque house, the centre around the fronton, accepting a short drive to the beaches. For the ocean on foot, the ocean front, at the cost of the sea spray. For the golf course and Biarritz close by, Ilbarritz. For the garden and the calm, the heights towards Arbonne and Ahetze, with the car. For the view towards Guéthary, the south of the commune.
The village and its square for the Basque house and life on foot; Ilbarritz for the golf course, the beach and Biarritz close by; the beaches and the corniche for the ocean view; the heights and the countryside for the garden and the calm; the south, towards Guéthary, for villas with views. Five different markets in one commune, to be weighed according to the use.
Home Select, a property finder in Bidart, runs the search remotely from its management, with its network of 15,000 partners. The brief is set by video call or phone, every property is qualified on documents and then in a video pre-viewing with the seller’s agent, and the price is tested against comparable DVF sales before the negotiation. You come only for the decisive viewings, grouped into a single trip; Home Select then secures the purchase and coordinates the notaire.
It frames what is built near the ocean: outside urbanised areas, the 100 m strip counted from the upper limit of the shore cannot be built on, and the shore belongs to the public maritime domain. For a clifftop villa as for a house in the countryside, an extension, pool or outbuilding is checked against the planning document before the offer.
Not the same life. Biarritz is a resort town, with its shops on foot and its seafront; Bidart is a village of beaches and countryside, often with more land and calm, a few minutes from Biarritz, its TGV station and its airport. The two markets are hunted as one, but each is read on its own sales.
Yes: about 7,700 people live in Bidart in every season, according to Insee. Summer swells the population of the coast, and nearly one home in three is a second home, but the year-round base is real, which changes the use of a house as well as its management from a distance.
Yes, though not as a local branch: outside Île-de-France, Home Select runs every search from its head office, with its network of 15,000 professional partners. Each property is vetted on paper, then toured in a video pre-viewing led with the seller’s agent, and you travel only once, for the decisive viewings. The guide “Buying property in France remotely” spells out how it works.
To hunt in Bidart, check four points: a search mandate on the buyer’s side only, published fees due on success, a written method, proof that lasts. Home Select answers all four: founded in 2011, 1,200+ buyers guided, 4.8/5 on Google (139 reviews), fees displayed, 100% on success.
Home Select, a property finder in Bidart, 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. Home Select is paid on success only: nothing is due until you have bought.
