This vision now permeates the most sought-after residential areas of the Riviera, such as La Chèvre d'Or. A legendary institution in Èze Village, it has embodied the excellence, rarity, and timelessness of the French Riviera for over 70 years. A veritable star suspended between sea and sky, this iconic address, run by the talented Tom Meyer, symbolizes the perfect balance between heritage, emotion, and prestige.
It is the capes, these rocky outcrops facing the Mediterranean, that account for most of the ultra-luxury real estate value around Monaco. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin are the most accomplished examples of this.
On October 2, 2025, when the international gastronomic scene unveiled the results of The Best Chef Awards, an entire region shone through one name: Tom Meyer. Already named Meilleur Ouvrier de France and a two-Michelin-starred chef at La Chèvre d'Or, he made his debut in the world rankings, confirming a vision that is demanding and deeply rooted in the soul of the Riviera. A distinction that naturally extends the aura of this legendary institution in Èze, where heritage, emotion, and excellence interact with the Mediterranean.
It is in these territories that Magrey & Sons makes its selection, with an approach that prioritizes the consistency of a location over the performance of a property.
La Chèvre d’Or acts as a revelation. It reminds us of the essence of luxury on the French Riviera when it moves away from ostentation and returns to the essentials. Its recent reopening and the renovation of its dining areas, accompanied by Chef Arnaud Faye, have reinforced this image of controlled excellence.
La Chèvre d'Or is a two-Michelin-starred restaurant offering a unique culinary experience that combines elegance, history, and creativity. Chef Tom Meyer, the true conductor of this culinary spectacle, creates dishes that are veritable edible works of art, inspired by local regional produce. His cuisine, both creative and rooted in the terroir, evokes emotional memories and showcases local products. Each of his dishes is a harmonious composition of vegetable, marine, and iodine flavors, presented with meticulous attention to aesthetics.
In addition, the chef generously shares the history of each dish and reveals some of the secrets behind their creation. La Chèvre d'Or transcends its status as a Michelin-starred restaurant to become a temple of gastronomy, where poetry meets gourmet cuisine and tradition blends with innovation. Local produce is carefully selected to highlight its freshness and exceptional quality, creating dishes that dazzle guests.
Tom Meyer pays meticulous attention to detail, from precise movements to careful presentation. Bright colors, delicate textures, and perfect combinations are designed to delight the eyes as much as the taste buds. The restaurant's dedicated team contributes to this culinary ballet of rare harmony, where every movement is synchronized and every note is played with precision.
This culture attracts an international clientele with an appreciation for beauty, gastronomy, and history. When looking to settle down permanently, this clientele turns to residential areas that offer a concrete expression of these values. The capes then become an obvious choice, thanks in part to the Chèvre d'Or.
British buyers continue to play a key role in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, with a marked interest in prime locations and high-end, renovated properties that are ready to move into. North American buyers, who tend to be more discreet, are mainly interested in iconic and rare properties, where location and residential experience take precedence over size.
Caps have a unique feature that naturally limits the availability of prime waterfront real estate. This authenticity along the French Riviera guarantees unlimited desirability. Their history has forged a strong identity that is immediately recognizable on an international scale.
Unlike larger areas, these territories function as closed micro-markets where Magrey & Sons has become an essential reference point. This structural scarcity explains the stability of values and the constant appeal of these sectors, regardless of economic cycles.
Absolute heritage value.
Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat remains one of the most solid references in the luxury real estate market in Europe. The peninsula combines privacy, light, and landscape protection in a rarely matched harmony.
The trends observed in this sector confirm extremely selective demand. Buyers are primarily looking for properties offering very specific features, impeccable integration into the landscape, and real long-term potential. Land is extremely limited in this area, which reinforces the heritage value of each acquisition.
It is precisely to meet this demand for exceptional quality and durability that Magrey & Sons offers several prestigious properties that perfectly embody these criteria of rarity.
Reference 9600 - Located in a sought-after residential area of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, close to the Four Seasons Grand Hotel and the beaches, this fully renovated villa offers an elegant and peaceful living environment. Built on three levels, it features a spacious, light-filled living room opening onto a large sunny terrace.
The property has four en-suite bedrooms, a separate studio, wellness areas, and a wine cellar. The 1,840 m² flat garden, facing south and west, features a swimming pool extending from the terrace and offers pleasant sea views from the first floor. A garage with space for up to three vehicles completes this rare property.
Residential elegance, right on the waterfront, in its most discreet form
To the east of Monaco, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin has developed a different identity, one that is more subdued, almost confidential. This area, historically marked by its Belle Époque villas and properties nestled in lush vegetation, retains a deeply residential atmosphere.
The market there is particularly stable. Properties rarely change hands. Buyers are primarily looking for discretion, nature, and an intimate relationship with the waterfront properties, far from any excessive staging.
Reference 9598 - Overlooking the beaches of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, in the highly sought-after Golf Bleu area on the doorstep of Monaco, this contemporary villa of approximately 245 m² offers breathtaking panoramic sea views. Recently renovated in a modern Californian style, it enjoys a quiet and private setting at the end of a cul-de-sac.
Facing south, the villa enjoys views of the Mediterranean from all the main rooms. Large bay windows open onto a bright double living room of approximately 80 m², where interior and exterior blend naturally. The high-end open-plan kitchen integrates elegantly into the living space.
The property has five bedrooms, including two master suites, and a double garage accessible directly from the villa via a private elevator, complemented by outdoor parking. A rare address, where modernity, light, and close proximity to Monaco define a resolutely contemporary lifestyle.
Reference 9613 - Completely renovated with high-end amenities, this townhouse enjoys panoramic sea views over the Baie des Golfs Bleus. The interior architecture emphasizes fluidity and light, with an open kitchen extending into a dining area and a living room opening onto a terrace facing the Mediterranean.
The house has four en-suite bedrooms, three of which have sea views, each designed as an intimate and refined space. A private elevator serves all floors, offering a level of comfort rarely found in this type of property.
The materials selected and the quality of the finishes reflect a masterful renovation that respects the residential spirit of the cape. A wellness area comprising a sauna, steam room, and gym, as well as a terrace with a jacuzzi overlooking the sea, complete this secluded property, ideal for an elegant and peaceful life on the doorstep of Monaco.
On the Riviera, the ultra-premium market continues to be driven by largely international demand. In 2024 and 2025, European buyers, particularly those from Switzerland, Germany, and Scandinavia, remain very active, with a wealth management approach focused on stability, inheritance, and quality of life. They favor understated properties that blend seamlessly into their surroundings, offering lasting sea views and a high degree of privacy.
British buyers continue to play a key role in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, with a marked interest in prime locations and high-end, renovated properties that are ready to move into. North American buyers, who tend to be more discreet, are mainly interested in iconic and rare properties, where location and residential experience take precedence over size.
Profiles from the Middle East continue to target Cape Town for its discretion, security, and stability of wealth. Finally, a new generation of international buyers, entrepreneurs, and mobile executives are now looking for contemporary, accessible, and emotional properties that perfectly match the codes of quiet luxury.
These dynamics confirm the positioning of caps as global benchmark markets, where each acquisition is part of a long-term vision, both residential and patrimonial.
From the Château de la Chèvre d'Or, a quiet cultural landmark, to the defining capes of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, the same vision of luxury emerges. A vision based on rarity, longevity, and emotion. It is this vision that Magrey & Sons translates into its real estate selection. Not by following trends blindly, but by revealing places that tell a story and are absolutely rare on the market.
