The continuing rise of disposable income, the ease of international travel and the introduction of new technologies offering the ability to work from anywhere, are bringing opportunities to live in some of the most stunning and prestigious locations. With spacious rooms and gardens, a sun-kissed climate and an outdoor style of living, many are finding a better quality of life that they could perhaps not otherwise afford within their home market.

Whether you are buying to live the high life, to invest or are looking to create or move your business, a large luxury property offers many benefits. Despite interest rates and consumer confidence still worrying some analysts, the luxury real estate market remains buoyant overall with prices remaining stable. As up-and-coming areas tap into the worldwide boom in second home ownership, developers are catering for new buyers of luxury homes by offering secure, gated urbanisations in spectacular positions with many amenities on-site.

Of course, luxury real estate does not just encompass the typical white or ochre villas of the Mediterranean coast. French chateaux with their acres of grounds and historic past; large rustic Italian farmhouses nestled within olive groves; bright and spacious Monaco apartments overlooking the Cote d'Azur; pretty Mallorcan townhouses and villas clinging to the old world charm of Spanish life - these and more offer a standard of design, furnishing and location that amply explain their desirable status.

Upscale Residences

For those looking to make a large investment in luxury property, our portfolio includes some of the most exclusive examples on the European market. Our large number of chateaux offer an excellent choice of typically French construction and decoration, with some dating back to the 9th and 10th centuries and sporting colourful histories and original carvings, fireplaces and architectural features. Some of the most beautiful are situated in the Loire valley and include forests, lakes, stables and extra accommodation for guests or room for offices in their many outbuildings.

We also market a full range of palatial homes, spectacular villas and seafront penthouses along the Cote d'Azur in Cannes, Nice, Antibes, Sainte Maxime, St Tropez, Cagnes sur Mer, Mougins, etc.

For contemporary design in a modern and fashionable location, look no further than Sitges on the Costa Dorada of northeast Spain. Barcelona, one of the world's great cities, is not far away, nor the beautiful coastline towards the French border which includes Blanes and Lloret de Mar.

Where to buy luxury property for sale

Luxurious living, as can be well understood, is not to be found cheaply - sometimes, if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it. Impeccable design, desirability of location and high quality fixtures and fittings of luxury properties will always ensure values remain strong. However, there are definitely ways to make your funds go further. Buying into a new urbanisation, or an area where new transport links give access to the traditionally more popular (and thus more expensive) locations, could ensure rapid growth in property resale value but you may have to wait several years for such gains to come to fruition.

We also cater for those special areas of the world, where the world's most talented and beautiful people come to be seen. To many buyers with a larger budget, location can be all-important; if you looking for luxury property in Monaco, Marbella, Sitges, St Tropez, Cannes or Nice (among other glitterati of the property world), we will almost certainly have a suitable home or be able to source your exact requirements.
