Peter’s Côte d'Azur

“As I live in Nice and work principally around Saint Jean Cap Ferrat and Beaulieu sur Mer, it should come as no surprise that many of my clients sell and buy highly exclusive properties. These are either their primary or secondary residences or a stable investment and addition to their real estate portfolio. Indeed, the French Riviera offers some of the most prestigious properties in the World."

The Côte d’Azur has become a welcoming home to the most diverse range of clientele. Each community in the Cote d’Azur boasts a vast array of characteristics and offers very specific rental and purchase propositions: Waterfront properties or villas atop a hill, houses in peaceful natural surroundings, or apartments in the heart of the action, surrounded by world-class shopping, restaurants, museums, and beaches. The Côte d’Azur offers both historic buildings dating back several centuries and the finest contemporary estates designed by the most celebrated contemporary architects. I welcome you to explore the unique opportunities and lifestyle on the Côte d’Azur while marveling at the views of the Mediterranean Sea on the horizon.
