Cannes – Banana: Private Villa with Garden just Steps from la Croisette

Property Description

A rare heritage opportunity in the heart of Cannes

Just a few minutes' walk from La Croisette, the Palais des Festivals, the beaches, the shops on Avenue d’Antibes, and the train station, this standalone villa offers a particularly rare investment opportunity on the Cannes real estate market.

In an area where most properties are apartments, this property stands out as a hard-to-reproduce asset: an approximately 175 sqm standalone villa with an 180 sqm leafy private garden, right in the center of Cannes.

A location at the heart of rental demand

The location is one of the main advantages of this investment. Cannes enjoys a year-round international clientele related to high-end tourism, secondary residences, and numerous conventions and professional events organized at the Palais des Festivals.

The ability to walk to the Palais des Festivals, La Croisette, the beaches, restaurants, and the train station is a significant advantage for premium rental operation, especially during the major Cannes events.

A configuration especially suited for high-end rental

Built on two levels, the villa offers four bedrooms, each with its own shower room, comfortably accommodating families, groups, or professional clients.

On the garden level, a large reception area with a lounge and dining room opens directly onto the terrace and garden. A fully equipped kitchen, a large bedroom with a private shower room, and guest toilets complete this level.

On the upper floor, there are three additional bedrooms with private shower rooms, as well as a supplementary room that can be used as an office, dressing room, or guest bedroom.

This layout allows for both high-end seasonal rentals and use that is particularly sought after during conferences and international events.

A dual-purpose real estate asset

The interest of this property also lies in its ability to combine several strategies:

long-term heritage investment in one of France’s most international real estate markets
premium rental income during peak demand periods
particular appreciation during major events and Cannes conferences
personal use as a secondary residence between rental periods
resale potential supported by the structural rarity of standalone villas with gardens in the city center of Cannes.
A hard-to-reproduce property

Beyond its size or features, the value of this asset is mainly based on the combination of three particularly rare criteria: independent villa, private outdoor space, and central location enabling everything on foot.

For an investor seeking a premium real estate asset on the French Riviera, this property thus offers a rare combination of scarcity, heritage value, rental potential, and flexibility of use.

An opportunity to acquire a unique real estate asset in the heart of Cannes, in a market where this type of property is extremely rare. Harald STARKE
