Home Select searches, visits and negotiates for you in Beaurecueil. You only visit the properties shortlisted, and nothing is due before the deed is signed.
Your project
Home Select, a property finder in Beaurecueil founded in 2011, searches for village houses and country properties exclusively on behalf of the buyer, from the village and its château to the foot of the Sainte-Victoire and Roques-Hautes. Home Select opens access to off-market properties through its network of 15,000 partners, with fees 100% on success: nothing is due before completion.
At the southern foot of the Sainte-Victoire, some ten kilometres east of Aix-en-Provence, Beaurecueil is a municipality of 585 residents set in the Bayon plain, between Le Tholonet and Saint-Antonin-sur-Bayon. A château with a fifteenth-century tower whose gates face the church, scattered houses, and on the lower slopes the Roques-Hautes site and its dinosaur eggs. Sales are rare here, and the finest happen without a listing.
Home Select in figures
A property finder works for the buyer, and for the buyer alone. Here is what Home Select changes, concretely, for your purchase in Beaurecueil.
A Home Select finder writes your brief, launches the search within the week and stays with you until the deed is signed. Home Select answers every enquiry within 24 working hours.
Home Select receives more than 100 off-market properties a day from its 15,000 partners, agents, notaries and managing agents, before they go on sale. The finest addresses in Beaurecueil often change hands this way.
Home Select pre-visits every property on commented video and shows only 3 properties on average, instead of 40 when searching alone, grouped into a single trip if you come from afar.
Home Select negotiates 6% on average off the asking price, with the area’s actual sales in hand, and checks every document before you commit. Also paid 10% of the negotiated reduction, Home Select has every reason to bring the price down: you keep 90% of every euro saved. Fees are due on success: nothing before signing.
A buyer-side search mandate, a written method, fees due on success. Here is what you entrust to Home Select in Beaurecueil.
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 Beaurecueil, 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, 10% of the negotiated reduction is added to the fees, and nothing is due until you have bought.
The calendar depends on the market in Beaurecueil 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 north of the municipality belongs to the Sainte-Victoire massif, listed since 1983: on a listed site, any change to the state or appearance of the place requires special authorisation. Before the offer, have it checked what the listing and the local plan allow: extension, pool, outbuilding, fencing.
Garrigue and woods cover most of the municipality, and the mountain’s south face burned in 1989. In exposed zones, brush clearance is mandatory, generally over 50 m around buildings, and falls to the owner. Have the clearing of the land costed before the offer, not after signing.
Near the Bayon, the risk statement provided by the seller says whether the plot is exposed to flooding: read it, together with the prevention plan if one exists. Check, too, the non-mains drainage, inspected by the SPANC, and where the water comes from, before you fall for the land.
From your brief to the handover of the keys: what Home Select does for you in Beaurecueil, and what you gain from it.
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.
Every property put to you matches your brief: the search hits the mark from the first 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.
You see properties before the market does, and sometimes properties that will never be published.
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.
Fewer journeys: your decisive viewings grouped into a single trip, on the shortlisted properties only.
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.
You buy at the right price, 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. The points of vigilance specific to each local market are in Home Select’s checklists.
You commit with full knowledge of the facts, with no bad surprise after signing.
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: at every stage you know where your purchase stands.
A share of the finest sales in Beaurecueil 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.
Two offers, the same full service, paid on success only: the Exclusive offer, 2.5% of the net purchase price (minimum €10,000 incl. VAT), at every budget, and the Confidential offer, 1.5%, for projects of €2m and above, plus 10% of the negotiated reduction in both cases. Nothing is due until you have bought in Beaurecueil.

From Rousset et Puyloubier to Le Tholonet, the median gap reaches +49 %: the neighbourhood prices the property as much as its floor area.
Beaurecueil is a tiny market: a municipality of a few hundred residents, which Insee classes among rural municipalities with scattered housing, where sales are so rare that no municipal median emerges. There are village houses, houses and properties on the plain and in the hills, almost always with land. Some change hands without a listing, between families and neighbours.
Value turns on what a listing shows poorly: the view of the Sainte-Victoire’s south face and its cliffs, the exposure, the size and nature of the land, water, the distance to the village and to the road to Aix. An old house in the heart of the village and a property at the foot of the massif do not compare: each address is read on its own terms, and the neighbouring sectors, Le Tholonet, Meyreuil or Châteauneuf-le-Rouge, serve as a benchmark.
What is checked before the offer: what the listed site allows, brush clearance near the massif, water, non-mains drainage, the flood risk of low-lying plots, rights of way. Home Select runs the search remotely, from its management and with its network of 15,000 partners: every property is qualified on documents and in a video pre-viewing, the price tested against comparable sales, and the buyer comes only for the decisive viewings.
From the village and its château to the cliffs of the Sainte-Victoire, the village house gives way to the property facing the massif.
The heart of the municipality: the church of the Annunciation and, opposite, the château’s gates and its park of old plane trees; the château, with its fifteenth-century tower, is now a retirement home of the national war veterans’ office. Around it, few houses, rarely for sale; party walls and the building’s condition are checked on documents.
North of the village, the mountain’s south face raises its limestone cliffs above scrub, holm oaks and Aleppo pines. The properties that come closest have the strongest view in the municipality, and the constraints that go with it: a listed site since 1983, mandatory brush clearance, summer limits on access to the massif.
On the lower slopes, the Roques-Hautes site, shared between four municipalities including Beaurecueil: a dinosaur egg deposit known worldwide, protected since 1994 by a nature reserve whose core is closed to the public, and the old quarry of Le Tholonet marble. The park itself is not for sale; its protected surroundings are what count.
The Bayon comes down from Saint-Antonin-sur-Bayon, crosses the municipality and then, under the name Bayeux, joins the Arc in Meyreuil. Its plain, framed by wooded hills, holds farmland and houses scattered across their plots. Check the flood risk of plots close to the stream, water, drainage and rights of way.
To the east, the municipality backs onto the foot of the Barre du Cengle, a plateau lying in Saint-Antonin-sur-Bayon, separated from the Sainte-Victoire by the Bayon. Garrigue and woods, more isolated properties, views of both reliefs: a quiet area, where access, water and brush clearance are checked before the offer.
The market, the neighbourhoods, the addresses
We find the property of your dreams in Beaurecueil
Beaurecueil at a glance
Beaurecueil is lived as a village: the church of the Annunciation, the château and its park of old plane trees, now a retirement home, and houses scattered across the Bayon plain. André Turcat, the test pilot who flew the first Concorde in 1969, spent his last years here and rests in the village cemetery. For the rest of daily life, Aix-en-Provence is some ten kilometres away by the D 17, and the A8 motorway runs further south, in the Arc valley.
The mountain begins at the end of the lanes: the south face of the Sainte-Victoire, its cliffs and its footpaths, and the departmental park of Roques-Hautes, where a nature reserve has protected a dinosaur egg deposit known worldwide since 1994. From 1 June to 30 September, access to the massif is regulated according to fire risk; the great fire of August 1989 ravaged the south face. Winter, quieter, gives the footpaths back to the residents.
In Beaurecueil, a house is kept and passed on when it brings together what cannot be reproduced: the south face of the Sainte-Victoire on the horizon, a plot in calm surroundings, a village that has stayed away from the main roads some ten kilometres from Aix. The listed site and the local plan frame what can still be built at the foot of the massif, so these addresses do not multiply. What remains is to check it property by property: building, water, drainage, brush clearance, rights of way.
For a second home, the village offers the house that is simple to close, the foot of the mountain and the Bayon plain the property to live in over the summer, the foot of the Cengle isolation. Aix-en-Provence, its TGV station and Marseille-Provence airport make short stays possible. Before the offer, count the upkeep of a house closed part of the year: garden, brush clearance, monitoring.
Settling in Beaurecueil means living at the foot of the Sainte-Victoire some ten kilometres from Aix-en-Provence, its lycées, university, hospitals and TGV station. Families look for the house with land, remote workers for the calm of a village of a few hundred residents. A car is essential: school runs, shopping and access are measured in the file, before the offer.
Beaurecueil is reached from Aix-en-Provence by the D 17, the road that runs along the south face of the Sainte-Victoire towards Saint-Antonin-sur-Bayon and Puyloubier: some ten kilometres. The A8 motorway passes further south, in the Arc valley, with an interchange at Châteauneuf-le-Rouge. For a buyer coming from afar, Aix is the relay: its TGV station puts Paris about 3 hours away, and Marseille-Provence airport is about 25 minutes from Aix. Once there, a car is essential.
The international community in Beaurecueil. For a foreign buyer, Beaurecueil is a choice of landscape: international life, schools and university included, is found in Aix, some ten kilometres away. Home Select draws 50% of its clients from expatriate and international buyers, and for them the difficulty is not the welcome but managing from afar: a house at the foot of the massif calls for upkeep, brush clearance and monitoring. France imposes no condition of nationality or residence on a buyer.
When to visit, when to buy? Sales in Beaurecueil are too rare to follow a calendar: the right property can come up at any time. The calendar weighs on viewing: from 1 June to 30 September, access to the massif is regulated according to fire risk, and the heat bears down on the south face, where shade is rare; winter shows the municipality as it lives. From afar, the brief is set early, video pre-viewings follow each property that comes up, and the trip for the decisive viewings is timed for spring or autumn.
Because the local market has its own rules. A tiny market: few sales a year, almost always houses with land, sometimes without a listing. 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.
The village puts the church and the road to Aix close by, in houses that are often old and share walls. The foot of the Sainte-Victoire gives the view of the south face’s cliffs and calm, at the price of the listed site’s constraints and brush clearance. The Bayon plain sits between the two, with flatter plots.
Yes. In a municipality of a few hundred residents, some houses are passed on without a listing, through notaires and family networks. Home Select receives more than 100 off-market properties every day through its network of 15,000 partners, and tests every price against comparable sales in neighbouring sectors.
From Rousset et Puyloubier to Le Tholonet, the median gap reaches +49 %: the neighbourhood prices the property as much as its floor area.
The calendar depends on how rare the target property is in Beaurecueil 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 Beaurecueil, the monitoring starts with two sectors: the village, then the foot of the Sainte-Victoire. That is often where the unfindable property is.
It depends on use. For short stays, a house in the village is simple to close, with Aix-en-Provence some ten kilometres away. For entertaining in summer, a property at the foot of the Sainte-Victoire or on the Bayon plain offers space and the view of the south face, with upkeep to organise: garden, brush clearance, monitoring. At the foot of the Cengle, the isolation is greater: for those who seek it.
Home Select, a property finder in Beaurecueil, 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, then in a video pre-viewing run 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 via the Aix-en-Provence TGV station or Marseille-Provence airport; Home Select then secures the purchase and coordinates the notaire.
The massif has been a listed site since 1983, over 6,525 hectares, part of Beaurecueil included, and has held the Grand Site de France label since 2004. On a listed site, any change to the state or appearance of the place requires special authorisation: an extension, a pool or an outbuilding may be refused where the local plan seemed to allow it. At the foot of the mountain, what a plot allows is therefore checked before the offer, plot by plot.
Yes. The municipality has 585 residents, Insee attaches it to the Marseille-Aix-en-Provence urban unit while classing it among rural municipalities with scattered housing, and Aix is some ten kilometres away by the D 17: much of daily life is organised from there. A car remains essential, and the calm is paid for in journeys: measure them before the offer, for school as for work.
The departmental park of Roques-Hautes holds a dinosaur egg deposit known worldwide, protected since 1994 by a 140-hectare nature reserve whose core is closed to the public. For a neighbouring house, it means a setting protected by the reserve; it also means passing walkers, whose numbers are worth measuring. Home Select has the neighbourhood, access and rights of way checked on documents.
Sales are too rare to follow a season: the right property can come up at any time, and you need to be ready. The calendar matters above all for viewing: spring and autumn show the plain and the mountain at their best, summer brings heat to the south face and restrictions on access to the massif. The right method: set the brief early, line up the video pre-viewings, then come once for the decisive viewings.
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 Beaurecueil, 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.
