This week we have an auction property that is sure to impress with a guest house, a boathouse and two private beaches!
There are few places on the Côte d’Azur where the landscape feels quite as untouched as Le Trayas. Tucked into the red-rock Estérel massif along the spectacular Corniche d’Or, this small coastal district of Saint-Raphaël sits between the mountains and the Mediterranean, with secluded coves, turquoise water, pine-covered hills and some extraordinary sea views. The atmosphere is decidedly different from the busier resort towns: peaceful, residential and wonderfully connected to nature, yet not isolated. The little train station provides an easy link along the coast, while the Corniche d’Or places you within easy reach of both Saint-Raphaël and Cannes.
For property buyers, that combination of rarity, scenery and location is particularly compelling. Le Trayas offers something increasingly difficult to find on the Riviera: homes where the natural environment is genuinely part of the property rather than simply something you look at from a distance. Development is constrained by the protected Estérel landscape, helping preserve the area’s character and limiting the supply of truly exceptional properties. Saint-Raphaël itself has seen strong long-term property demand, with prices rising significantly over the past five years, while prime properties in the most sought-after sectors command considerably higher values. Current Le Trayas listings demonstrate the premium attached to exceptional villas with panoramic Mediterranean views.
Perhaps the greatest attraction, however, is the lifestyle. You can spend the morning swimming in a secluded calanque, hike through the Estérel before lunch and be in Saint-Raphaël for dinner—or head west along the coast toward Théoule and Cannes. It is close enough to the glamour and amenities of Cannes to enjoy them whenever you wish, but far enough away to escape the intensity of the summer crowds. For someone looking for a Riviera home that can serve as a private retreat, a second residence or a carefully chosen long-term investment, Le Trayas offers the increasingly valuable luxury of space, nature and authenticity without giving up access to the Côte d’Azur.
That being said, we have a rare property set for auction in Riviera Buzz:
