Are you looking for a property for sale in St Maxime, France?
St Maxime is located in the Var department of France and overlooks the Gulf of St Tropez. On one side, you’ll see the glistening Mediterranean sea; on the other side, you’ll find the Massif des Maures. Wherever you look, you’re treated to show-stopping views. Sainte-Maxime also gives you ample time to enjoy those vistas thanks to its year-round sunshine and warm weather. Historically, the town’s enviable temperatures draw creatives of all kinds, like painters and poets, who want to be inspired by the scenery every day of the year.
Sainte-Maxime boasts high-end, luxury waterfront property with all sorts of deluxe features. For example, your multi-bedroom home can have its own dock and boathouse, an in-home cinema, and a fitness area with a sauna. There’s a lot of waterfront property here, and even though you’ll be right near the sea, your home can still be private and peaceful. Plus, Sainte-Maxime is home to fishing boats, not superyachts, so your view won’t be obstructed.
There are plenty of apartments and villas throughout Sainte-Maxime that are perfect for a holiday home or a full-time residence. If you plan to rent out your home when you’re not there, consider a luxury apartment or penthouse. Many of the apartments in Sainte-Maxime are within walking distance to the local amenities, and these properties often come with private parking and pool access.
You will find that Sainte-Maxime has a beautiful mix of contemporary and traditional influences. This part of France is known for VIP homeowners and glamorous nightlife, but Sainte-Maxime adheres to many of its customs. For example, The Little Girl of May festival is held each year on the first day of May to celebrate the springtime. Then, toward the end of November, there’s the olive harvest. In general, though you’ll be close to the glitz of the French Riviera, Sainte-Maxime is notably more down to earth, which is exactly why people flock to it.
To get even more of a feel for what life used to be like in Sainte-Maxime, head to the old town to see ancient architecture. The streets, which are home to several cafes and shops, feel genuinely and historically French. You can also spend your time in a cinema, theatre, casino or shopping centre. For a quick lesson in local history, head to the Tour Carrée, which was built in 1520 as a defense against pirates, and which now serves as a museum.
One of the main reasons to live in Sainte-Maxime is for its proximity to the sea and beaches, so you won’t need to stay indoors too often. While your villa will probably have its own stunning pool and sunbathing area, you’ll also be able to venture out to one of the area’s many beaches as well. Each beach here has its own spin. For example, La Croisette Beach has a sailing school, and you can take diving lessons at Madrague Beach. Over at La Nartelle Beach, you can take a jetski or waterski out.
You can also safely swim at most of the Sainte-Maxime beaches thanks to on-duty lifeguards. Or, if you prefer to stay dry, simply go for a stroll along the promenade. The views of the Med are particularly stunning as the sun sets – there are plenty of homes in Sainte-Maxime with this view, too. While Sainte-Maxime is less glittery than some of its neighboring towns, it’s still classy and refined, and without a hint of being pretentious.
