Saint-Aygulf – Contemporary Seafront Villa with Direct Beach Access

There are addresses whose rarity lies in an incomparable privilege: that of living facing the Mediterranean, just moments from its crystal-clear waters, in an unspoilt setting where every moment takes on a special significance. In Saint-Aygulf, between Cannes and Saint-Tropez, this remarkable contemporary villa, built in 2013, embodies a privileged vision of the Côte d'Azur lifestyle, combining modern architecture, contemporary comfort and an exceptional connection with the sea. Arranged over three levels and offering 238 sqm of living space, the property is set within 1,020 sqm of grounds, a true green sanctuary sheltered from view. Its seafront location makes it particularly desirable, enhanced by panoramic views and direct access to the beach and the sea. From the garden, a small gate provides access to the coastline just a few steps away, while the possibility of mooring a tender opens the way to wonderful maritime excursions. A rare privilege that turns every day into an invitation to make the most of the Mediterranean. On the ground floor, the reception areas are centred around a spectacular living space of approximately 100 sqm. Generously opening onto the outdoors through large picture windows, it brings together a lounge, dining area and kitchen in a harmonious setting filled with natural light. The views extend towards the sea, creating an exceptional sense of space and freedom. The lounge becomes an inviting place to relax, the dining area welcomes shared moments and the open-plan kitchen naturally lends itself to convivial gatherings. Here, the boundaries between indoors and outdoors disappear, giving way to a truly Mediterranean lifestyle. Extending from this spacious reception area, the terraces invite you to enjoy sunny days overlooking the open sea. One of them, measuring over 40 sqm, is ideally suited to summer lunches, dinners with friends and long evenings spent enjoying the gentle Var climate. The light, the sea and the surrounding vegetation create a living backdrop that changes throughout the day. This level also features the master suite, designed as an intimate and privileged retreat. Its dressing room and bathroom overlooking the sea extend the sense of comfort into the most private moments. Two additional bedrooms, two shower rooms and the entrance hall complete this level, offering a layout suited to both family living and entertaining guests. On the lower level, two bedrooms provide additional accommodation for family and friends while preserving everyone's privacy. A shower room, laundry room and garage complete this floor, bringing practicality and everyday comfort. This multi-level layout naturally separates the living areas, bedrooms and ancillary spaces, while offering generous accommodation capacity. At the top of the villa, the solarium reveals one of the property's most appealing features. Featuring a spa, this rooftop terrace offers remarkable panoramic views over the Mediterranean and the Estérel mountains. At sunset, as the sky takes on golden and rosy hues, this space becomes a truly private belvedere. As night falls and the stars appear, it invites you to enjoy moments of absolute tranquillity in an atmosphere of complete serenity. Outside, the landscaped garden showcases lush Mediterranean vegetation, dotted with palm trees and exotic planting. At the heart of this intimate setting, the mosaic-tiled swimming pool, surrounded by wooden decking, is an irresistible invitation to unwind. Sheltered from view, it provides the perfect setting to cool off, swim a few lengths or simply enjoy the sunshine in a true holiday atmosphere. The villa also benefits from electric underfloor heating and an individual solar hot water system. Its A-rated energy efficiency and A-rated climate performance demonstrate an appreciable level of efficiency, particularly sought after in a property of this standing.
