Spacious property nestled in a green haven, surrounded by lush nature, completely free from disturbance, yet close to all amenities (town centres and large supermarkets, schools, beaches, entertainment venues, hospital, ...), currently arranged into two self-contained spaces:
  • A fully renovated main villa with an interior living area of 154m² set across three levels (+ 69m² of terrace space), complemented by a separate 52m² flat (interior living area) (+ 10m² of terrace space).
  • An independent outbuilding (Faré style) with an interior living area of 89m² arranged over two levels (+ 10m² of terrace space).

The Nouméa market
About twenty minutes by car from the centre of Nouméa and its beautiful natural surroundings
Nouméa, the capital of New Caledonia, is a city of many facets where nature, culture and modernity blend harmoniously. With its idyllic beaches, bustling markets and historic sites, it offers a unique experience based on its many attractions:
  • The New Caledonian lagoon (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), one of the largest in the world, with its turquoise waters and coral reefs. An ideal spot for swimming, diving and water sports.
  • The "Parc Forestier", a true haven of peace just minutes from the city centre, offering stunning views over Nouméa and the surrounding area.
  • The "Place des Cocotiers", an iconic square and the heart of the city, where locals gather for events, concerts or simply to stroll.
    Surrounded by historic buildings, it’s a lovely place for a coffee break or a meal on the terrace.
  • The Nouméa market, on the waterfront, brimming with local produce, exotic fruit, fresh fish and artisanal souvenirs. A colourful, lively and vibrant spot, perfect for discovering the region’s flavours and crafts.

Nouméa also boasts a great selection of social spots, with many seaside cafés and restaurants where you can enjoy delicious local cuisine blending French and Pacific influences. The lively bars in the city centre, especially around Baie des Citrons (19km away), are perfect for evening drinks, while the restaurants of Anse Vata (20km away) offer splendid ocean views.
The landscapes of New Caledonia
The landscapes of New Caledonia
On an island of great diversity, in a mosaic of landscapes and cultures
New Caledonia, a gem of the South Pacific, reveals itself as a dream suspended between sky and sea, a haven of unspoilt nature where every landscape seems to whisper an ancient story. A land of rare beauty, it stretches between deep blue lagoons, majestic mountains and wild beaches caressed by the waves.
Each of its islands is unique, forming an arc of ancient legends, where Melanesian, European and Asian cultures meet and intertwine in harmony.
From the Isle of Pines – with its columnar pines standing tall like guardians of past ages – to the Loyalty Islands archipelago – with its crystal-clear, mysterious waters – New Caledonia is an invitation to explore. Its lush forests, coral reefs and magnificent lagoon are but a reflection of this territory’s natural richness.
It is also a welcoming land, where the warmth and hospitality of its people add to the island’s magic. New Caledonia’s mild and pleasant climate seems shaped by the elements to offer eternal ease of living. Under a sky that’s always blue, sea breezes soothe the warmth of sunny days, while the evenings are bathed in a refreshing coolness. A climate that, like a gentle dream, cradles its people in a calm yet vibrant atmosphere.
Here, time seems to stand still, and every moment spent on the island is a return to the essentials – an immersion in a nature that remains wild and untouched, a promise of escape for those who seek to marvel at the world’s beauty. New Caledonia is a breath of fresh air, a scent of adventure, a place where the soul finds rest, far from the turmoil of everyday life.
