Luxury villas on the French Riviera

On the French Riviera, in two locations. In Anthéor (Saint-Raphaël, Var), Villa L’Estòbi stands at the water’s edge, facing the Esterel massif. In Mougins (Alpes-Maritimes), in the hills above Cannes, are Villa 9, at the Domaine du Font de l’Orme, and the Villas Lauvas, Antares and Vega.

Contemporary architecture, noble materials (stone, glass, wood) and wide glass walls open to the landscape. Villa L’Estòbi, on the waterfront, has about 310 m² of living space on a 2,000 m² plot, five bedrooms, a heated 17-metre pool and private access to the sea; it is built in local red stone, Carrara marble, glass and weathering steel. Villa 9 offers about 600 m² on two levels, an indoor pool, a spa, a gym and a wine cellar. The Antares and Vega villas each have 343 m² of enclosed floor area, with a 10-metre outdoor pool.

Yes. Buying property in France carries no nationality or residency requirement: a foreign buyer purchases on the same terms as a French buyer. The sale is completed before a notaire, a public officer who checks the title and secures the payment.

Once the price is agreed, a preliminary contract (promesse or compromis de vente) is signed, after which a private buyer has a ten-day cooling-off period. The deed of sale is signed at the notaire’s office, usually two to three months later. For a villa bought off-plan (VEFA), a reservation contract comes first and the price is paid in stages as construction progresses.

The so-called notary fees, mostly duties and taxes paid to the State, come to about 7 to 8% of the price for an existing property and 2 to 3% for a new build. The exact amount depends on the property: the notaire confirms it before signing.
