Living the good life

Enjoy the joie de vivre of the French lifestyle

Villa garden, French Riviera

The Var is the sunshine department of France, bounded by the Southern Alps to the north and the famous Côte d’Azur to the south. With stunning mountain ranges, lakes, huge forests and 430 kilometres of sun-drenched shoreline, white sandy beaches, tranquil coves and umbrella pines, the region is one of the most desirable destinations in France for holiday-makers and property investors alike.

Several well-known and elegant resorts grace the coast, giving its magnetic allure: Bandol, Hyères les Palmiers, Bormes-les-Mimosas, Le Lavandou, St. Tropez, Sainte-Maxime, Fréjus and Saint-Raphaël.

Situated between the majestic mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, the Var inland beats to a much slower pace. Rich with Medieval towns, provincial markets, olive groves, spectacular lavender and sunflowers fields, and first-class vineyards, the area is unspoilt. The Var vineyards produce some of the best-known wines of the Côtes de Provence.

The Haut Var offers a striking contrast, and with its hilltop villages, vast forests and breathtaking gorges, it is a wonderful playground for walkers, climbers, kayakers, skiers and snow sport enthusiasts. Furthermore, the vast forests produce truffles, mushrooms and wild herbs that fill the air with delightful fragrances.

Comfort and elegance for modern living merge beautifully in this high-quality estate located in Cavalaire-sur-Mer, a seaside resort full of charm. Boasting a gorgeous bay, three kilometres of sandy beaches and an elegant marina, Cavalaire-sur-Mer is ideally located at the entrance to the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, while being close to Le Lavandou and Saint Tropez (18 km), Hyères and Saint-Raphael (40 km) and Nice and Marseille (120 km).

Facing the Hyères Islands – Ile du Levant, Port-Cros and Porquerolles – Cavalaire-sur-Mer will delight sun worshippers, scuba divers and sailors alike.

This private residential community provides an absolute respite from everyday life with traditional craftsmanship and enchanting surroundings. Built in Provençal style, the first-class enclave of only 25 villas is located 900 metres from the sea and a magnificent bay. The domain has uninterrupted views of the regional backdrop, with exposure to the south, creating that exquisite setting for an idyllic life in the sun.

Encompassing 87-149m² of living space, the lovely interior of each house is tastefully appointed with three or four bedrooms, a sitting room with fireplace, large dining room and fully fitted kitchen. All villas come with large American-style fridges, vitroceramic cooking hobs, microwave ovens, traditional ovens, dish washers, washing machines, tumble dryers, flat-screen televisions with foreign channel reception, DVD players, stereo systems and high-speed Internet access.

Each fully furnished villa sits on a private plot of 460-570m², complete with a covered terrace, private heated pool and a garden planted with Mediterranean trees.

Residence owners enjoy access to services that include hotel-style concierge, year-round caretaker, cleaning, gardening, pool maintenance, delivery of breakfast bread and newspapers.

The freehold properties are available as either leaseback properties or “classic” purchase. For leaseback properties, owners will receive rent, net of charges, recover the 19.6% VAT on the total amount of the acquisition as well as benefit from a tax scheme via LMP/LMNP status while ensuring income for their retirement.

Character, style and beauty abound in this lovely domain.

Price: From €660,000 (excl. VAT).
