Indicative prime benchmark — not a valuation.

Buyers priced out of the Rock cross the Monaco border for space and calm. The coastal Promenade Le Corbusier threads the Cap Moderne site — Eileen Gray's E-1027 and Le Corbusier's Cabanon — past the Belle Époque estates of Cap Martin, such as Villa Cyrnos, while inland the medieval old village rises around its Grimaldi château.

How to buy in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin

Roquebrune-Cap-Martin pairs Monaco-border convenience with modernist-villa heritage at a fraction of Principality pricing.

The process

  1. 1

    Engage a Riviera advisor

    Your agent curates on- and off-market villas and represents you through to signing — the off-market layer is where Cap-Ferrat and Saint-Tropez trophies trade.

  2. 2

    Offer & compromis de vente

    On agreement you sign a compromis (preliminary contract) with a deposit (commonly 5–10%); the buyer has a 10-day cooling-off right.

  3. 3

    Notaire & due diligence

    The notaire runs title, surveys (DDT diagnostics), planning and charge checks over roughly 8–12 weeks.

  4. 4

    Structuring & funds

    Decide on direct or SCI ownership, arrange financing, and budget the annual IFI wealth tax if net French real estate exceeds €1.3M.

  5. 5

    Acte authentique

    The final deed is signed before the notaire; the balance, duties and fees settle and possession transfers.
