From €2 million to €5 million the choice widens to architect-designed villas, estates with guest houses and large houses close to the sea. Here is where they sell and what to consider.
In the official DVF records for 2024 and 2025, 458 single houses and 159 single flats sold for between €2 million and €5 million across the 28 French towns we follow. On the western side of the coast, the most houses in this band sold in Mougins (51), Antibes (45) and Cannes (26), followed by Théoule-sur-Mer and Roquefort-les-Pins with 13 each.
In the hills this budget can buy a large villa on several thousand square metres, a recently built or fully renovated house or a small estate with guest accommodation.
At this level a buyer should give particular thought to:
New-build Californian-style villa completed in 2024 on a private estate a few minutes from Valbonne village. Single-level living with five en-suite bedrooms plus a pool house fitted out as an independent guest apartment, set in 3,000 m² of landscaped garden.
Co-exclusive estate within a gated private domain of eleven villas in Opio, close to Valbonne and a golf course. A main villa of about 300 m² is accompanied by a 93 m² independent house and a 42 m² guest house, suited to multi-generational living.
Provençal villa designed by architect Pierre Jaulin and fully renovated in 2025, combining traditional character with contemporary finishes. It offers a ground-floor master suite, office and independent studio, three further bedrooms upstairs, and a heated 12 x 6 m pool in landscaped Mediterranean gardens.
