Winter tourism has developed in Gassin, becoming a popular destination for the wealthy populations of France and Europe. Living from agriculture until then, the arrival of this tourism causes a break in the population which sees here an opportunity related to the economic benefits. The development of this seaside resort was accelerated by the arrival of the railway at the end of the 19th century, which opened up the area, linking Hyères to Saint-Raphaël.

However, Gassin has managed to maintain a balance and preserve its identity by containing the increase in its population, which reached 2557 inhabitants in the last census of 2016. If real estate investors are looking for a villa for sale in Gassin, the choice remains limited. The requirements of a completely renovated villa, with terrace and flat land or an atypical villa are numerous on the part of future buyers.

The charm of Gassin

Gassin enjoys a privileged position, in the immediate vicinity of Agay and Sainte-Maxime, and a few kilometres from Saint-Tropez. This small town is undeniably one of the most beautiful villages in France, dominating the bay from its rocky promontory, less than 5 kms from the sea. Nestled between the Massif des Maures and the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, the colourful and flowery alleys of Gassin lead you to one of the most beautiful panoramas of the Mediterranean from its ramparts terrace. You can see the sea, the snow-covered mountains and the vineyards at its feet.

In addition to its rich natural heritage, Gassin has managed to preserve non-urbanised areas while resisting the tourist pressure that has increased since the second half of the 19th century. The medieval village has kept all its charm and is surrounded by hamlets known as Minuty, Riboty, Tras Barri... and more recent developments such as Sinopolis or Les Chênes. There are magnificent properties, with sea views, close to all amenities on the real estate market.
