This article describes real estate in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat: types, approximate purchase prices and rents, and the residence acquisition services offered by Cofrance

Thinking about vacations in an upscale Cote d’Azur resort, which is not accessible for everyone? Cofrance recommends Russians to visit Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat (Cap-Ferrat), a small town located about 15–20-minute drive to the south-east of Nice. It is one of the resorts favored by the high society. Real estate in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat perfectly agrees with the status of vacationers.

A Resort for the Elite: Who Established It and Who Vacations There?

The noblesse’s tradition of vacationing in Cap-Ferrat dates back to the early 20th century, when Baroness de Rothschild built a villa of her dream on a cape jutting far seawards. These days her former residence in the central part of the cape greets visitors as a museum displaying various items of the 15^th-18^th centuries.

The cape has been gradually built up with villas of the world’s wealthiest and most influential people, and the resort now ranks among the most expensive vacationing spots. Cap-Ferrat is a kind of a closed club for privileged personalities, who prefer unhurried relaxation in dignity and luxury.

Cap-Ferrat: Who Acquires Property?

There are three residence types on the cape:

1. Northern part. The narrowest place, from which both eastern and western coast beaches are accessible. The real estate here includes secured multiple occupancy residential houses of up to 3–5 stories and villas. This is the main property in Cap-Ferrat.
2. Passable beach in the cape’s north-western part. The coastline is built up with villas. They are of particular value here due to seascapes with the setting sun. Most of the offers for sale are elite estates with manors surrounded by green space and equipped with swimming pools.
3. The eastern part is the most expensive one. It is notable for a high built-up density. The real estate predominantly includes multiple occupancy buildings with apartments. The reason of demand for this sector is simple – it is located next to the marina, which, unlike other French Riviera’s marinas, is characterized by spacious gaps between yacht mooring piers.
