45 nights of exclusive use per year
A €2.4 million villa in the hills of the Côte d’Azur is now being offered through Lazazu’s co-ownership model, with one-eighth shares priced at €384,000.
Many second homes are used for only a few weeks each year, yet still require constant maintenance, security and oversight. Renting them out can help cover expenses, but it also creates another layer of work, particularly when the property is being managed from another country.
What Lazazu offers buyers is not a timeshare, but the ability to own a portion of the property, with 45 nights or more of exclusive and flexible use each year and the option to rent some of those nights, sell their share later should they wish to and benefit if the home increases in value.
The model is designed for people who want a more sustainable second home without taking on the full cost and year-round responsibility of owning one outright.
The €384,000 share price includes the planned improvements, complete refurnishing, professional interior design, taxes and fees, while Lazazu manages the home on an ongoing basis.
Owners can simply schedule their stays and arrive at a property that is ready to use and enjoy.
Set above the Côte d’Azur near Valbonne, this 4-bedroom villa offered through Lazazu in one-eighth shares presents a more flexible way to own a fully managed second home in the South of France. Lazazu
A Quieter Base Above the Côte d’Azur
Set within a secure gated domain six minutes from the historic village of Valbonne, the villa occupies an elevated position with panoramic views across the surrounding hills towards the Mediterranean.
Valbonne offers a quieter alternative to the Riviera’s busier coastal centres, with restaurants, shops and everyday amenities in the village. Cannes lies approximately 17 km (10.5 miles) away, Antibes 16km (10 miles) and Nice Côte d’Azur Airport around 24km (15 miles). Beaches, golf courses and tennis facilities are within easy reach, while the property is surrounded by nature and has direct access to nearby forest walks.
Recently renovated, the villa spans 212 m² (2,282 ft²) and sits on 2,592 m² (27,900 ft²) of grounds. Light-filled reception rooms open towards the landscape, alongside a well-appointed family kitchen suited to everyday use and entertaining.
There are four en-suite bedrooms, giving family members and guests greater privacy, as well as an office space. The house also includes a private cinema, gym area, fireplace, underfloor heating and air-conditioning.
Outside, the swimming pool, garden and outdoor kitchen extend the living space into the grounds, while a garage and additional storage add practical support for longer visits. Unlike a rental property, owners also benefit from generous, discreet built-in storage cupboards, allowing personal belongings to be left securely in the home between visits.
The property is shown in its current condition and will be fully redecorated and refurnished to Lazazu’s design standard. The improvements and interior-design costs are included in the advertised share price.

What the €384,000 Includes
The value of co-ownership is not simply that the purchase price is divided among several owners. It is that the property is acquired, improved and managed as a complete second-home proposition from the outset.
The €384,000 price covers the one-eighth ownership interest based on the purchase price, together with the planned property upgrades, complete refurnishing, professional interior design, taxes and relevant fees. Buyers are therefore not purchasing a share in the villa and then contributing separately to an additional renovation or furnishing budget.
Before the owners start enjoying the home, it will be redecorated and fully refurnished to meet Lazazu’s design standard. The current photographs show the villa before that work has been completed.
This is central to Lazazu’s model. The aim is not only to reduce the capital tied up in a property that may be used for several weeks each year, but also to remove the work normally involved in creating and operating a second home from abroad. The buyer acquires a share in a finished, professionally managed home rather than taking on a smaller portion of an unfinished project.
For buyers who expect to spend several weeks a year in the South of France, rather than live there year-round, Lazazu offers an attractive opportunity through this Valbonne villa: ownership, design and recurring, flexible, access to a specific home, without assuming its entire cost or operational burden.

The Part of Ownership Lazazu Handles
For international buyers, the challenge of owning a second home often begins after the purchase is complete.
Pools and gardens require regular care. Repairs must be coordinated. The property needs to be prepared before each arrival and monitored while it is empty. Renting unused periods introduces bookings, cleaning and guest management.
Lazazu acts as the owners’ single point of contact and manages the ongoing operation of the property, including scheduling, maintenance and preparation for each stay. The objective is for owners to arrive at a home that is ready to use, without turning their time on the Côte d’Azur into another property-management responsibility.
The model can also allow buyers to spread their capital across several locations rather than committing it to one second home that remains empty for much of the year.
Beyond the French Riviera, Lazazu has applied the same structure to opportunities including its sea-view co-ownership villa above Cala Salada in Ibiza.
For buyers who expect to spend several weeks a year in the South of France, rather than live there year-round, Lazazu offers an attractive opportunity through this Valbonne villa: ownership, design and recurring, flexible, access to a specific home, without assuming its entire cost or operational burden.
