Buying Property in Corsica
View property for sale in Corsica
Off the coast of southern France, but actually situated closer to Italy, the Mediterranean island of Corsica has been a French territory since the late 18th century. It remains very popular with Italian property buyers, though it has begun to appear on the property radar of other overseas investors.
With 1000 kilometres of coastline and restrictions on property development in Corsica, there are plentiful picturesque harbours and bays still unspoilt in spite of a busy tourist industry, while inland there are olive and orange grows and vast tracts of forest. Island getaways are certainly a popular second home choice, with Corsica’s fantastic climate being a particular draw.
Diving and water sports draw many visitors here, as do the fabulous beaches. Those at Solenzara, around Porto and between Porto Vecchio and Bonifacio are some of the best known.
Golf is also a popular pastime on Corsica, with five courses of various sizes at present. Sperone, near Bonifacio at the southern tip of the island, is the most admired with its stunning coastal scenery. Properties on the courses may not be cheap but Corsica's climate offers a balmy twelve-month season for playing, and year-round rental returns make golf property in Corsica a tempting investment.
