Whether you are golf enthusiasts, nature lovers or seasoned real estate investors, buying near a golf course offers many advantages in France and internationally. Whether you decide to buy in order to rent, to invest in your main residence or in your second home, you are choosing a reasoned investment that will not be subject to the same vagaries of the market as traditional real estate! Are you ready ? Here are the 5 reasons to invest in properties on a golf course!

1 / The environment

The first advantage of living on a golf course is its exceptional environment ! A unique place that pleases, that will please all the time, everyone and forever. It is so good to invest in such a green setting: peaceful, maintained to perfection and all year round, space, vegetation as far as the eye can see and peace. Buying on a golf course means above all choosing to invest in the heart of a preserved environment, a unique ecosystem where nature is protected. It is also the assurance of a stronger heritage valuation because the preserved environments prevent massive construction nearby!

2 / Security

Most of the largest and most beautiful golf courses in France are secured all year round. The golf course of the Pont Royal estate in the Bouches du Rhône, for example, has a guard post at the entrance and active surveillance! Golf security operates on the grounds 24 hours a day, day and night, to ensure the safety and comfort of its inhabitants all year round. Each car entering and leaving the estate is checked through the guardhouse and the estate has only one entry / exit. No need to invest in a high performance alarm system anymore, that's a real selling point!

3 / Sport, Passion

What seasoned golfer does not dream of being able to live near a fairway to make a living from his passion every day? It is no longer rare to meet golf enthusiasts who leave their city life to live year round or a few weeks a year on a golf course. You will now meet all profiles there: Retired, working, with your family or alone. And those who are new to this exciting sport, know that it is never too late to learn! Playful, good for the heart, the mind and the morale, it is suitable for all profiles and all ages!

Eighteen century Bastide located just 20 min from Aix-in-Provence, at the entrance of the beautiful village of Lambesc (accessible by foot). Set within 1 hectare of grounds with 100-year-old trees and a working olive grove, with the house cosily placed within 800 m² of garden and lawn and with a swimming pool and jacuzzi. Once a residence of Provencal nobility (the foundations are from 16th c), this eight-bedroom, 430 m² restored Bastide comes with three nearby buildings of exposed stone and potential to create more liveable space. Loads of charm.
