Saint Jean – Cap Ferrat is one of the most desirable locations on the French Riviera, and is famous around the world for its beauty, exclusivity, and desirability. A small ‘y’ shaped peninsular, sitting between the towns of Beaulieu-sur-Mer and Villefranche-sur-Mer – forming the legendary ‘Golden Triangle’ – has as its heart the village of Saint Jean, with its pretty port and cobbled streets, classy cafes and restaurants, and its lush, green gardens. Just twenty minutes from Monaco and half an hour from Nice international airport, Saint Jean Cap Ferrat is the perfect Riviera resort, evocative of a bygone age of quiet privilege and discreet luxury. Right here in the centre of the Saint Jean, we find this impressive, rare property.
This well-appointed, recently renovated, 7 bedroom stone village house sits in the heart of Saint Jean, in a beautifully sunny spot, within 2 minutes walking distance of the village and the port. This well-proportioned villa has over 260m2 of living space, a pool, sea views, a beautiful, sunny terrace, connected independent apartment, and a double garage.
The heart of the house is the living space on the main floor, a glorious, light, open-plan space that blends seamlessly into the dining area and kitchen, in all around 75m2 of luxurious, uplifting accommodation, with huge, arched windows to the south and south east, opening up onto the terrace and pool area from the main salon, and a full length window from the kitchen looking out over the courtyard. An outside door leads directly from the kitchen to the private courtyard, where there is a summer kitchen and outside dining.
The kitchen itself is a big, bright room (28m2) with good sized areas for food prep, high-end fixtures and fittings, and plenty of cupboard space. The kitchen features a breakfast bar, and excellent quality appliances, and there is extensive space for dining.
The layout and dimensions of the main living area makes the villa ideal as a large family home, entertainment space or for multiple guest accomodation. The large master bedroom (26m2) has full ensuite shower and WC facilities, and its own private terrace accessed by the large double French doors. There are a total of six other bedrooms, all of good proportions, including a second master suite, and with a further 5 shower rooms/WC and one bathroom/WC.
The property features an independent apartment with 2 bedrooms (included in the 7 total) which can also be integrated into the main house, giving a good degree of flexibility.
There is a double garage with the property.
This fantastic villa really is a substantial dwelling, in excellent condition, offering flexible and extensive accommodation in a superb location.
With Nice city centre just 20 minutes away, with its high end shops and daily stores, Monaco less than half an hour and Nice airport 40 minutes, Saint Jean – Cap Ferrat really is well positioned. The Italian border can be reached in around 45 minutes, and Isola 2000 ski resort within 90 minutes. In the local area there is a great selection of exclusive Michelin starred restaurants, including the Reserve de Beaulieu (just 5 minutes by taxi) and the Grand Hotel du Cap (5 minutes). In the village – within walking distance – there are plenty more traditional restaurants and cafes popular with the locals, and Beaulieu sur Mer, just 10 minutes away, has all you need for daily shopping, in a lovely high-end setting. Just a 15 minute taxi ride away, the Old Town of Villefranche sur Mer is perfect for strolling the ancient cobbled streets, and on those warm summer’s evenings, stopping to eat in one of our favourite restaurants on the quay, at the water’s edge.
For those that like to walk, Cap Ferrat has one of the prettiest and most popular walks around the peninsula, as well as walks around the cliffs at Beaulieu and Villefranche. There is a sandy beach by the port at Saint Jean within 5 minutes walking distance of the house, and Villefranche’s beautiful sandy Les Marinieres beach is less than 15 minutes’ walk away.
Over the years, many celebrities have made Cap Ferrat their home – including Andrew Lloyd Webber, Adam Clayton from U2, Dave Allen, the Microsoft co-founder, and of course, the Rothschild family.
We are proud to present this unique opportunity to experience life in one of the world’s most sought after addresses.
