We represent architecturally significant homes along two coastlines and one high desert — sold slowly, in person, to people who will keep them well.
Most of what we represent never reaches an open market. We work from a quiet roster of architects, owners, and estate managers across eighteen regions — and we visit every home in person before we agree to carry it.
A house is a long relationship. We match homes to the right owner, not the highest bidder — then stay on after the sale: caretakers, seasonal opening, the local mason who knows the roof.
Several owners open their residences for a handful of fully-staffed weeks each year — a villa in Comporta in June, a desert house outside Marfa in October. Curated, never crowded. Seasonal stays →
We keep our footprint deliberately narrow. Knowing a region matters more than covering the map.
“We have sold the same house in Comporta three times in twenty years — to three families who all still send a card at Christmas. That is the business.”
Elena Marr founded ALMARÉ in 2007 after a decade placing architect-led homes across the Côte d'Azur. She personally walks every residence the atelier represents.
Every inquiry reaches a person, usually within a day. Describe the coastline, the light, the number of doors you'd like to leave open.
