Villas for sale
in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat

The village and port suit buyers who prioritise local life and straightforward travel. The Passable side opens onto the Bay of Villefranche, while Saint-Hospice and the areas farther south offer a more secluded setting.

The right address therefore depends less on an absolute ranking than on your priorities: views, peace, proximity to the port, coastal access or discretion.

Orientation, genuinely protected views, ease of access, parking and the quality of the outdoor areas should be checked property by property. For a home with a garden or pool, future maintenance and conditions of use also need to be anticipated.

Before any offer, DAMA can provide a precise comparison of access, the immediate surroundings and the property’s layout.

The peninsula is sought after above all for its villas, from houses near the village to more secluded estates with gardens and pools. Apartments are also available around the village and port for easier day-to-day living.

Beyond floor area, compare privacy, orientation, the quality of the views, access and the relationship between the house and its grounds.

Annual costs depend on the property and its amenities: co-ownership service charges, garden or pool maintenance, insurance, utilities and subscriptions.

For taxation, you should allow for property tax and, depending on your circumstances, residence tax on second homes. French real-estate wealth tax may also apply when the household’s net taxable real-estate assets exceed the statutory threshold.

Before purchasing, ask for the latest tax notices, service-charge statements and available maintenance contracts.

Once the price and terms have been agreed, the parties generally sign a unilateral promise or preliminary sale agreement. This records the financing arrangements, conditions precedent and expected completion date.

A non-professional buyer has a statutory ten-day cooling-off period. A deposit, often between 5 and 10% of the purchase price, may be held by the notaire and credited against the price at completion.

Timing depends on financing, notarial checks and any pre-emption rights. The keys are normally handed over when the final deed is signed.
