Cap-Ferrat rarely offers volume. What it offers is scarcity. We looked at seven villas currently on the market between €8.5M and €15M and read every detail closely — here's what stood out, including what the listings don't emphasize.
Built in 1929 and fully renovated, this is the only property on this list with a private gate straight onto the Passable beach — not a five-minute walk, an actual gate. At €8.5M it's also the entry point of the seven, which is worth noting given what direct beach access usually costs here.
See the listing at Douglas Elliman →This one isn't really about the current house — it's about the land and the paperwork. The permit already covers a three-level, roughly 420 m² build. Buy this and you're purchasing a project, not a finished villa, which is exactly why it's the cheapest entry on the list.
See the listing at Marks Real Estate →The smallest house on this list sits on the second-largest plot — nearly 3,700 m², partly left as untouched meadow. If you're buying land more than square footage, this is the one to see first. If you want the interior to match the price, it won't.
See the listing at Marks Real Estate →Built in 1840 and, according to the agency, not offered for sale in three decades. That alone makes it worth a look regardless of taste — this kind of listing history essentially doesn't exist anymore on the peninsula. The tower room with panoramic views is the detail that would decide it for us.
See the listing at Waldhof Real Estate →Explicitly listed with renovation potential — read: bring your own architect. The land is the largest of the seven after the meadow plot above, and the panoramic sea view is real, but this isn't a turnkey purchase at this price point, which some buyers will want to know before requesting a visit.
See the listing at Savills →Infinity pool, gym, staff studio, sea-view terrace off nearly every bedroom — this is the most finished property on the list, and priced accordingly. One thing worth flagging: the agency's own listing gives two different figures for the living area (317 m² and 330 m²) in different places on the page. Worth clarifying before an offer, not after.
See the listing at Marks Real Estate →The address does a lot of the work here — immediate proximity to the Four Seasons. The layout backs that up: a games room, two separate lounges, a staff bedroom. This is a villa designed around having people over, not a quiet retreat, which matters more than the price tag when deciding if it's right for you.
