Looking for a luxury property for sale in Var leads to very different worlds: a contemporary villa on the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, a wine bastide within the Côtes de Provence appellation, a master house in a hilltop village of the Haut-Var, or a wooded estate in the Massif des Maures. The department thus combines a highly sought-after coastline with a still-unspoilt hinterland. Browse every luxury property for sale listed by private owners, specialist agencies and notaries in Var.
This page gathers real price benchmarks for Var's large residences, a tour of the areas where they cluster, the features of local buildings and the checks worth making before buying a coastal villa, a wine estate or a hinterland bastide. Read it alongside the local listings before arranging your first viewings, and treat any coastal price you see as one point among several rather than the whole picture. To prepare your whole project, read our guide to buying luxury property in France.
Our observatory tracks, in the DVF land registry data published by the French tax administration, sales of houses over 300 m² of living space on 0.05 to 10 ha of land, above €1,000/m²: chateaux, manor houses, master houses, villas and large rural residences. The benchmarks below are based on these actual sales, after removal of outliers; an estate of more than 10 ha or a listed monument sold with its farmland is excluded.
In Var, 329 sales of luxury properties were recorded between 2021 and 2025. The median price stands at €2,700,000, with an average of €3,010,200; the floor/ceiling range (P10–P90) runs from €1,017,100 to €5,511,100. The median price per square metre of living space reaches €7,742/m², for properties averaging 369 m² of living space on 7,957 m² of land. The department therefore sits 7% above the regional median (€2,520,000 in 2025) and above the 2025 national median (€822,000).

These benchmarks place an asking price within its market; they do not replace a valuation of the property itself, whose worth depends on condition, architecture, outbuildings and setting. The breakdown by stratum (coastal, rural tourist, ordinary rural) and the full methodology are in our observatory of luxury property prices in France (in French). Then work out purchase costs and borrowing capacity with our financial tools and calculators, and prepare your project with our guide to buying luxury property in France.

On the Saint-Tropez peninsula, the villa with a view over the gulf, often built in local stone under round tiles, sits on the hills of Ramatuelle and Gassin, almost always paired with an infinity pool and a private pine grove. In the Côtes de Provence vineyard, around Cuers, Le Luc or La Motte, the wine bastide is organised around a cellar and a vat room, sometimes adjoining a former silkworm house now converted. In the Massif des Maures and the Estérel, restored dry-stone sheepfolds and isolated mas beneath cork oaks make up a more rustic building stock.
Outbuildings play a central role: a converted fisherman's cabin on the coast, a cellar and vat room in wine country, a bread oven and a dovecote in hilltop villages such as Cotignac or Tourtour. Canal-tile roofs, painted eaves and pale wooden shutters mark the department's Provençal identity. In forested areas the property sometimes includes a private pond, which calls for checking its legal status and permitted use.
The Gulf of Saint-Tropez, from Gassin to Grimaud and Ramatuelle, concentrates the most sought-after villas, ahead of the coastal resorts of Sainte-Maxime and Le Lavandou. Further inland, the Fayence area, with Seillans and Callian, and the Haut-Var, around Cotignac, Aups and Tourtour, offer quiet character residences amid hills and vineyards. The centre of the department, between Brignoles and Le Luc, remains dominated by wine estates, while the Massif des Maures keeps a more scattered pattern of homes on the forest edge.
The stations at Toulon, Les Arcs-Draguignan, Saint-Raphaël and Hyères, served by TGV, along with the A8 and A57 motorways, connect the department to the main cities. The Gulf of Saint-Tropez and the peninsula show the highest levels, while the Haut-Var, the Fayence area and the wine-growing centre offer comparable properties at markedly more affordable prices.
On the Saint-Tropez peninsula and along the whole Var coastline, the Loi Littoral and the erosion risk prevention plans strictly govern extensions and new building; some shoreline plots remain subject to uncertain buildability rules. In the Massif des Maures and the Estérel, both exposed to wildfire, statutory clearing around buildings is compulsory and can affect the property's insurability. In wine country, check the SAFER's pre-emption right, current leases and the compliance of the winemaking facilities.
On the technical side, the canal-tile roofs and lime renders of the bastides need regular upkeep, especially after strong-wind episodes. Restored sheepfolds in the Massif des Maures often need work on their private drainage systems, with public access still limited in this wooded area. Have a full survey carried out by an architect before making an offer, keeping the valuation of the buildings separate from that of the vines or the woodland, and asking for a specific report on the vineyard equipment where one is included.
