Luxury Real Estate in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat

Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, a Jewel of the French Riviera

With 250 hectares of unspoiled nature between sea and hills, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat offers a truly unique living environment. Its microclimate, secluded coves, and sumptuous estates make it an exclusive and intimate destination, far from the hustle and bustle of nearby seaside resorts.

The Opulent Legacy of the Belle Époque

As early as the late 19th century, European aristocracy and wealthy elites flocked to the peninsula, drawn by its unspoiled beauty and enchanting climate. Magnificent villas were built facing the Mediterranean, nestled within lush gardens filled with exotic plants.

Among the iconic estates of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, many date back to this golden era:

• Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild and its classified gardens
• Villa Les Cèdres, once the property of King Leopold II of Belgium
• Villa Santo Sospir, adorned by Jean Cocteau
• Villa Baia dei Fiori, featuring original period frescoes

These historic residences, and others we have represented, have been restored with meticulous care, preserving their Belle Époque charm. Rare properties shaped by exceptional craftsmanship, catering to a clientele passionate about art and beauty:

• Grand reception rooms with restored period features (woodwork, stucco, frescoes)
• Spacious bedrooms with panoramic views and en-suite bathrooms
• Professional kitchens with state-of-the-art appliances
• Landscaped gardens with Mediterranean flora and mirror pools
• High-end amenities: butler service, security, home cinema, and more

A Generous Nature, a Haven of Peace

Beyond its exceptional architectural heritage, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat enchants with the preserved beauty of its natural landscapes. Mild climate, radiant light, and lush vegetation—everything here invites contemplation and disconnection.

The Christ the Redeemer Statue, an Iconic Landmark

A symbol of Pointe Saint-Hospice, the imposing Christ the Redeemer statue has stood watch over the peninsula since 1903. Commissioned by a prominent local figure, it offers a breathtaking view over Villefranche Bay and Cap Ferrat. A living canvas, to be admired from your terrace or garden.
