Exclusive Penthouse in Saint-Raphaël with Panoramic Sea Views and Private Pool – All the Comfort of an Apartment, All the Privacy of a Villa

A beautiful penthouse with its own private swimming pool, an extraordinary 540 m² of outdoor space and breathtaking panoramic views over the Mediterranean Sea. All in a prime location in Saint-Raphaël, within walking distance of the beaches and shops.

Every now and then, a property comes along that offers exactly what so many people are looking for on the French Riviera: the space, freedom and privacy of a luxury villa, but without the maintenance and responsibilities that usually come with owning one. This exceptional penthouse, or perhaps more accurately, rooftop villa, is a perfect example.

Occupying the top floor of an exclusive residence in one of Saint-Raphaël's most desirable residential neighbourhoods, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of space and privacy. No immediate neighbours, beautifully spacious interiors, magnificent outdoor terraces and your very own swimming pool. And wherever you are, those spectacular views across the Mediterranean are never far away.

The Feeling of a Private Villa, Without All the Maintenance

What makes this property so appealing is the combination of luxury, privacy and effortless everyday living. With approximately 145 m² of living space, the penthouse offers three generous bedrooms, bright and welcoming living areas, large windows that fill the interiors with natural light and high-quality contemporary finishes throughout.

But it is the outdoor space that truly sets this property apart. With an incredible 540 m² of private outdoor space, expansive south-facing terraces and your own swimming pool, there is plenty of room to enjoy the Mediterranean lifestyle to the fullest.

Imagine long lunches with friends, lazy afternoons by the pool or simply relaxing with a glass of wine while taking in the wonderful sea views. You have all the freedom and privacy you would expect from a detached villa, without a large garden or extensive grounds demanding your attention. This also makes the property particularly attractive as a second home. Simply lock the door when you leave and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with owning a low-maintenance apartment. A true lock-up-and-leave home, without compromising on space, comfort or privacy.

Spacious, Comfortable and Wonderfully Easy to Live In

Inside, everything has been designed with comfort and practicality in mind. The contemporary architecture creates a bright, airy atmosphere, while the generous terraces provide wonderful additional space for relaxing and entertaining. The property is fully air-conditioned and also benefits from a double garage and practical storage areas. Including these additional spaces, the total usable area extends to approximately 185 m².

The result is a home that is not only beautiful but also exceptionally comfortable and easy to enjoy, whether you spend a few weeks here each year or make the French Riviera your permanent home. All the practical advantages of a luxury apartment, with the freedom, space and character of an exclusive villa.

A Prime Saint-Raphaël Location, with Everything Close By

The location is another major attraction. Set in a peaceful and highly sought-after residential neighbourhood of Saint-Raphaël, the penthouse is just 800 metres from the beaches and local shops. You can enjoy the tranquillity and privacy of your own rooftop retreat, yet leave the car at home when you fancy a morning walk along the seafront, a coffee at a local café or dinner at one of the nearby restaurants.

Saint-Raphaël itself is a wonderful place to spend time, with beautiful beaches, a charming marina, excellent restaurants and a lively atmosphere throughout the year. It offers everything that makes life on the Côte d'Azur so enjoyable.

A Rare Combination of Luxury, Privacy and Effortless Living

A penthouse with the space and privacy of a villa, its own swimming pool, an exceptional amount of outdoor space and panoramic Mediterranean views, all within walking distance of the beach and shops. This rooftop villa is ideal for anyone looking for a luxurious yet wonderfully practical home on the French Riviera. Somewhere you can truly relax and enjoy yourself whenever you are here, while knowing that everything can be easily locked up when it is time to leave.

If you love the convenience of an apartment but don't want to give up the space, freedom and privacy of a villa, this is a very special opportunity indeed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the costs for your guidance?

Our service and guidance generally cost you nothing! How is that possible? We work with local real estate agents and developers who share their commission from the selling party with us. In return, we take a lot of work off their hands and ensure our clients are well prepared. So our guidance comes at no extra cost to you.

How does a property viewing work and when should I come to visit?

Don’t spend endless hours behind your computer. In practice, we see that during a viewing, your wishes and expectations often change. Things that didn’t seem important at first may become crucial. The only way to discover this is by actually visiting properties.

That’s why at Azur Living, we arrange viewings as quickly as possible. A quick viewing is always beneficial, and good preparation is essential. If you want to schedule a viewing, we’ll work with you to create a list of properties and/or projects to visit. We have dedicated teams in Spain, France, and Ibiza who prepare everything for you. You’ll receive a guided tour in your own language and have the time to view the properties at your own pace. If your preferences change during the visit, we can quickly adjust. We’ll update the program to fit your new wishes and ideas. Together with you, we’ll go through the entire process. So let us know your preferred dates, and we’ll get started!

Want to know how to plan an efficient property viewing? Read our brochure ‘How to avoid disappointing property viewings’.

How does the foreign real estate system work?

There are quite a few important differences compared to the real estate system you may be used to in the Netherlands or Belgium—especially when it comes to how agents operate abroad. For example, there is rarely exclusivity on properties, and the same homes can be offered at different prices. Real estate agents abroad work with a client registration system. When you understand how the system works in France and Spain, you can avoid several common pitfalls.

Want to learn more about this topic? Read our guide ‘The Foreign Real Estate System’.

I found a nice property on another website — can you show it to me as well?

Yes, in most cases we can! Just don’t request the information directly from the foreign agent — there’s a good chance we already have the property in our portfolio, or we can include it. So feel free to send it to us. If you do request information yourself, we likely won’t be able to assist you further, as you’ll be more or less tied to that particular agent.

How high are the buyer’s costs in Spain and France?

Spain
The buyer’s costs amount to approximately 12.5% of the purchase price. Of this, 10% is transfer tax for existing properties or 10% VAT for new builds. Registration costs in the "Registro de la Propiedad" (the Spanish equivalent of the Dutch land registry) are about 0.3% to 0.7% of the purchase price. Notary fees range from 0.6% to 1%, depending on the value of the property. Additionally, you should budget around 1% for a Spanish lawyer.

France
The buyer’s costs range from 6% to 8% of the purchase price for existing properties and are approximately 2.5% for new builds.

What is the maximum mortgage amount in Spain and France?

Spain
The maximum mortgage in Spain is up to 70% of the property value or the purchase price, whichever is lower according to the bank. The remaining amount of the purchase price plus buyer’s costs (approx. 12.5%) must be covered with your own funds.

France
The maximum mortgage in France is up to 80% of the property value or the purchase price, whichever is lower according to the bank. The remaining amount of the purchase price plus buyer’s costs must be covered with your own funds.

How do I get a mortgage in Spain or France?

Spain
Hypotheekibiza.nl and Spaansehypotheek.nl are mortgage offices specialized in financing on Ibiza and mainland Spain. They offer tailor-made mortgages for Dutch and Belgian buyers. Getting a mortgage in Spain is different from in the Netherlands. For example, mortgages are granted up to a maximum of 70% of the property value or the purchase price, with the lowest value always being decisive for the bank. In addition, the application process works quite differently from what you may be used to in the Netherlands. Spaanse Hypotheek has set up its systems to deliver the speed and service you may expect from Dutch or Belgian standards, which is unique in Spain.

France
We work with several (Dutch-speaking) mortgage providers in France. They collaborate with more than 50 French banks to find you the most favorable financing options. Want to know more about the possibilities? We’ll gladly put you in touch with the right party to provide you with a quick and efficient quote.

With enthusiastic and professional dedication, Azur Living guided me through the purchase of a Domaine in France. No hassle and handled perfectly.

We really appreciated the pleasant and enthusiastic way of communicating. But most of all, thank you for thinking along with us and making the final sale/purchase happen.
This wouldn’t have been possible without you.
