luxury house for sale Ua pou, France

Hakahau – Ua Pou Island, Marquesas Archipelago - In the heart of the unspoiled Marquesas archipelago, on the iconic island of Ua Pou, this rare property of over one hectare is set within a spectacular natural environment, between majestic volcanic reliefs and an endless ocean horizon. Nestled on the mountainside, it offers breathtaking sea views, absolute tranquility, and an authentic, untouched setting. The property features two residences, harmoniously integrated into their surroundings: The main house, approximately 90 sqm, comprises two bedrooms, a fitted open-plan kitchen, a welcoming living room, and a bathroom. It opens onto a pleasant terrace of about 30 sqm—an ideal outdoor living space to take in the ocean views and surrounding lush vegetation. An independent bungalow of approximately 40 sqm completes the ensemble. It includes a bedroom, a bathroom, an open-plan kitchen with a lounge area, and its own terrace, offering privacy and comfort for hosting family, friends, or guests. Facing east, the property enjoys spectacular sunrises over the ocean each morning. In the evening, the famous peaks of Ua Pou are bathed in fiery hues, creating a striking natural spectacle. The result of over thirty years of meticulous work, entirely carried out by hand, the land has been transformed into a true botanical garden. The vegetation is dense, structured, and remarkably diverse, combining local species with fruit trees. The whole is enhanced by carefully designed landscaping, punctuated by dry-stone walls in a distinctly Marquesan spirit. The interplay of colors, textures, and volumes evokes a living canvas—almost painterly. Here, every element seems to engage in dialogue with nature, achieving a rare balance between human intervention and wild beauty. Nicknamed “the Cathedral Island” by writer Robert Louis Stevenson, Ua Pou captivates with the verticality of its volcanic peaks—true natural sculptures rising above the ocean. A name that fully reveals its meaning when faced with such a spectacle. This property is equally suited to an exclusive lifestyle project or the development of a discreet hospitality activity, perfectly in harmony with the cultural and environmental authenticity of the location. A rare opportunity for those seeking more than just a property: an experience, a sense of belonging, an exceptional place. Contact us to arrange a private viewing and discover this unique property.
