Cap-d'Ail Properties

Properties in Cap d'Ail, in the Mala area, don't all answer to the same budget or the same buyer's project. Between a property built in 1967 never renovated and an apartment fully redone with a panoramic view over the Mediterranean, the gap can reach several hundred thousand euros within the same co-ownership.

Find out in this article about three examples currently available, what genuinely sets them apart, and what they share despite their differences.

Mala, an Area of Contrasting Property Profiles

The Mala area has long brought together very varied properties in Cap d'Ail, a contrast partly inherited from its older building stock. Some residences built in the 1960s have never been renovated since, while others have undergone complete overhauls in recent years, with considerable gaps in specification within the same building.

This area is also crossed by the coastal path, a 3.6km route connecting Marquet beach to Mala beach, wheelchair-accessible as far as Pointe des Douaniers. This proximity to a protected natural area remains a recurring criterion for buyers of properties in Mala.

Three Budgets, Three Projects

These three apartments in Cap d'Ail currently available in the same area illustrate very different budgets and buyer projects.

950,000€: A Renovation Project

This 83m² property, currently configured as 2 rooms with the option to convert to 3, has never been renovated since it was built in 1967. It comprises a 26m² living room, a study, a 20m² bedroom, and a 31m² terrace, priced at 950,000€.

An outdoor parking space can be acquired separately, for 120,000€. Its energy performance rating shows consumption of 196 kWh/m² per year, consistent with the absence of renovation since construction. This profile suits a buyer ready to take on renovation work, with an entry budget significantly lower than the other two properties presented here.

1,290,000€: A Renovated Property with Sea Views

This 92m² property, on the top floor, renovated in 2021, offers a panoramic view over Mala, Beaulieu, Cap Estel, and Cap Ferrat. Its price was recently adjusted, dropping from 1,400,000€ to 1,290,000€.

The property comprises 2 bedrooms of 15m² each, a 23m² living room, and two terraces totalling 18m², for a living surface of 92m². Its 2021 renovation shows in its energy performance rating, at 224 kWh/m² per year. This profile suits a buyer looking for a move-in ready property, with no work required.

Price on Request: A Turnkey Standing Property

This 140m² property, fully renovated in 2018 with high-end materials, represents the highest tier among these three examples. Sold with a garage and a large cellar, it offers 3 bedrooms each with a dressing room and en-suite shower room, along with a balcony and a terrace.

The 39m² living room and 11m² entrance hall round out a property designed for high-end residential use, with a panoramic view. Its price, disclosed only on request, reflects the level of specification and discretion expected at this end of the market.

What Stays the Same From One Property to the Next

Despite their differences in budget and condition, these three properties belong to the same 60-unit co-ownership, with shared reinforced security: a 24/7 caretaker, video surveillance, and controlled access. This continuity shows how the same building can bring together property profiles in Cap d'Ail that differ so widely in price.

Proximity also stays identical across all three properties: Monaco 5 minutes away, the airport 25 minutes, the sea 2 minutes. Basic amenities, such as sliding windows, a lift, and video surveillance, are also found on all three properties, regardless of renovation year. This positioning largely explains why these properties in Cap d'Ail keep their appeal, whatever their condition or entry budget.

Choosing between these three profiles mainly comes down to the buyer's capacity and willingness to take on renovation work, rather than the area itself, which stays the same from one property to the next.
