Buy a villa in Eze
Clients planning to buy a house on the French Riviera first focus on the most famous places, such as Cap Ferrat or Cap d'Antibes.
Many clients who bought property in Eze initially looked for a house on Cap Ferrat or a villa in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, but ultimately chose the nearby bay, Eze bord de mer.
What makes buying property in Eze attractive?
- Everyone dreams of buying a house on the French Riviera with a panoramic sea view. In the Eze bay almost all villas have especially beautiful sea views and Mediterranean pines — Eze's calling card.
- It is difficult for a buyer on the French Riviera to combine a sea view with close proximity to the sea and beaches. In lower Eze you can buy a villa with a fantastic sea view within walking distance of the sea and beaches.
- The French Riviera is well-known and extremely popular with both the French and foreigners. During the high season, when finding parking and a spot on the beach is hard, Eze offers a calmer atmosphere. In lower Eze there is no center or many shops, almost no apartments—only villas—so the bay has preserved its authenticity and natural beauty and does not experience large tourist crowds.
- Eze occupies a strategic position between Monaco and Beaulieu, the most prestigious places on the Riviera. It adjoins the Golden Triangle (Villefranche, Cap Ferrat, Beaulieu). At the same time, property prices here are not as high as on Cap Ferrat or in Beaulieu.
How much does a house in Eze (Eze bord de mer) cost
First of all, when buying property in Eze you should understand that the town is divided into several areas:
- Upper Eze, where the medieval village is located with the famous 5-star Relais & Châteaux hotel and the Michelin-starred restaurant Chèvre d'Or.
- The bay Saint Laurent d'Eze (closer to Cap d'Ail)
- The bay Eze bord de mer (closer to Beaulieu)
The lower bay, Eze bord de mer, which starts immediately after Beaulieu-sur-Mer, is the most prized area for buying a second home in Eze. Here you find the most beautiful sea views and luxurious Mediterranean pines, as well as proximity to private beaches and restaurants.
Property in Eze has steadily increased in price over the last five years. Against the backdrop of the crisis prices have been more stable, but offers are very limited. Since demand exceeds supply and many foreigners and Monegasques buy second homes in the Eze bay, real estate agents predict an inevitable rise in prices in this paradise between Cap Ferrat and Monaco.
In lower Eze (Eze bord de mer) you can buy a modern 300 m² villa with a panoramic sea view on a 10-are plot within walking distance of the beaches for a budget of €3–4 million.
