The Basics

Overview

Our Analysis

This imposing hillside villa offers substantial volume and unreplicable views, but its castle-like styling and current condition suggest a project for a buyer with a tolerance for verticality. The layout is somewhat unconventional with bedrooms largely on the ground floor, and while the price for 400m² near the French border is competitive, the renovation budget will need to be significant to bring it up to modern standards. It is realistically for a buyer looking for a statement secondary residence who prioritizes privacy and panoramic coastal vistas over walkable convenience.
