A pick of the best homes in UNESCO heritage hotspots

UNESCO is celebrating 80 years of protecting the world’s most exceptional cultural and natural sites.

These UNESCO World Heritage Sites include iconic landmarks, cultural landscapes, and pristine natural environments recognised for their outstanding universal value, ensuring that future generations can continue to learn from, experience, and be inspired by them.

Among them is the Georgian city of Bath, renowned for its Roman and Georgian architecture, and the English Lake District, famous for its breathtaking natural beauty. Edinburgh, the world’s first UNESCO City of Literature, is honoured for its rich literary heritage and vibrant cultural scene.

Across Europe, Barcelona owes its UNESCO status to the distinctive architecture of Antoni Gaudí, while Nice reflects international influences that shaped its landscape and architectural style. Further afield, South Africa’s Cape Floral Region stands out as one of the richest biodiversity hotspots on Earth.

Take a look at the remarkable homes currently on the market in some of these extraordinary locations.
