This property is on the market for €7,850,000, listed with L'Exploreur

This treasured family home offers breathtaking views over the Îles d'Or (the Golden islands of Hyères), and direct access to the sea with a private footpath from the villa. 

Set in an area The Times has called “the secret South of France”, the hidden gem of Rayol-Canadel-sur-Mer is where those in the know escape to on the Cote d’Azur. 

This wild stretch of coastline just west of the Gulf of Saint Tropez was inaccessible and uninhabited until the construction of the Provenca railway linking Toulon to St. Raphaël in 1885.

This led to the development of the seaside resort of Rayol-Canadel-sur-Mer, designed as a luxury housing estate with magnificent 19th century villas built around an idyllic village, all set within a unique microclimate that contains one of the finest Mediterranean gardens in the south of France.

Today, the former railway has been converted into a footpath that loops above the incredible beaches of Rayol, Canadel, Pramousquier and Figuier.

This luxury residence is set in a prestigious and private position in Rayol-Canadel with panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, the Levant Island and the Port-Cros Island and direct access to the sea with a private footpath from the villa.

The residence offers 350 m2 (3767 ft2) of interior space across 3 levels, with a large master suite with a dressing room, office, and solarium, separated from the other accommodations.

There are a total of 6 bedrooms for up to 12 guests for seaside holidays with family and friends, with the option of adding an additional 2-3 bedrooms on the basement level.

With its prime positioning, the residence offers incredible potential to update into a dream retreat on the French Mediterranean coast, including the addition of a swimming pool.

Discover the possibilities with the Atelier L’Exploreur at your disposal to support you in your renovation, layout and decoration projects.
