Vive la luxurious Saint Tropez lifestyle!

15th August 2007 Print
Vive la luxurious Saint Tropez lifestyle! The world famous port town of Saint Tropez on the French Riviera epitomises glamour, chic and luxury lifestyle; it is well known as a playground for the well-heeled and the well-to-do whose sexy sports cars sinuously cruise and curl their way through the town’s charming narrow streets, and whose incredible yachts vie for both space and the attention of passers-by in the town’s elegant harbour.

Saint Tropez is also most certainly a town absolutely synonymous with all that we aspire to, desire, respect and crave – namely celebrity, beauty, affluence and enjoyment - but not only is Saint Tropez the picture of perfection, it is an incredibly exciting and fun resort where the shopping, nightlife and café culture captivate visitors and where the history, ambience, traditional French lifestyle and perfect year round climate charm residents.

Now what if we were to tell you that despite being an exclusive and elite resort, Saint Tropez is not just inhabited by a select and elusive few as one might expect?

Rather Saint Tropez is actually highly accessible - both in terms of being within easy reach of the British mainland and now in terms of the affordability of its real estate too...

Currently under development just twenty minutes (18km) from the very heart of famous downtown Saint Tropez, a charming traditional Provençal hamlet is being lovingly crafted and created and the resultant community that is gradually taking shape offers captivating and spaciously sunny properties for sale from Maison Individuelle from as little as just £268,470.

This picture-postcard property development of seventeen homes is known as Le Belvédère - it offers those in search of the ultimate French Riviera lifestyle a chance to purchase a two or three bedroom delightful Mediterranean terraced villa property with stunning sea views which is both within reach of the extravagant delights of Saint Tropez and the inimitable natural allure of the pristine, perfect and stunning French Mediterranean coastline.

So close your eyes, now dream and just picture yourself swimming lazily in Le Belvédère’s sparkling crystal swimming pool, strolling through the heavily and headily scented gardens of this Provençal style development, sipping a glass of Champagne on your south-facing sun terrace or watching the yachts and dinghies bob about in the serene turquoise waters of Cavalaire Bay which pans out before you.

These dreams are both affordable and accessible by you because the exclusive homes for sale off plan within the secure and private Le Belvédère development are being sold by Maison Individuelle at modest pre-construction prices ranging from just £268,470 for a pretty two bedroom villa property to £323,490 for a spacious and impressive three bedroom villa – and because of the incredible location of this development so close to exclusive Saint Tropez, not only are these homes the ultimate in affordable lifestyle residences, they represent an exceptionally good investment opportunity as well.

Just think, if you bought yourself a second home at the Le Belvédère development which is within easy reach of nearby Toulon Airport to which the low cost reliable carrier Ryanair flies from Stansted from as little as £10, you could easily rent this property out throughout the year when you are not using it – especially when you consider that France is regularly the world’s number one tourism destination and that annually around 79 million visitors arrive, of whom a significant percentage are drawn to explore the bright lights and glamour of the French Riviera lifestyle.

In terms of the known investment appeal of this area of France and this development in particular, according to Gordon Roughan the Managing Director of Maison Individuelle, property prices in the sought after areas on the French Riviera have increased by around 5% this year with some of the best rental returns being reported. He goes on to comment that most British buyers heading for the French Riviera are seeking two or three bedroom villa or apartment properties within easy reach of airports serviced by low cost carriers, and that their average budget currently stretches to around £300,000.

So, if you want an incredible investment opportunity you can have it – or if you want the luxurious Saint Tropez lifestyle within easy reach of your peaceful, tranquil and affordable Mediterranean home you can have that too…and if at the end of a hard day’s shopping and celebrity spotting on the French Riviera, you want a peaceful evening at home, take in the sea views from your own individual balcony or chat to new friends and neighbours at the pool house.

And finally – the nearest resort to Le Belvédère is Cavalaire, it’s just over a kilometer away and it offers residents of this amazingly affordable luxurious development on the outstandingly beautiful French Riviera a perfect contrast to the hedonistic, awe-inspiring lifestyle offered by Saint Tropez and it’s beautiful sandy beaches and Marina!

Cavalaire is renowned for its long and close association with the sea and is the ultimate location on the French Riviera for diving, jet skiing, micro light flying, paragliding, windsurfing and sailing – and what’s more, the nightlife in Cavalaire is entertaining but less intense that that available in Saint Tropez which offers Le Belvédère residents even greater choice.

Le Belvédère is being marketed exclusively for sale in the UK by Maison Individuelle.

The team at Maison Individuelle have an incredible in-depth knowledge of the French property market and as a result they have an impressive and exclusive portfolio of real estate for sale for home seekers and investors.
