The International Properties Capturing Buyers’ Attention

Douglas McFarlaneAugust 7, 2026

From London to the Adriatic, these are the homes and developments that people can’t stop viewing

Browse any international property portal and you’ll quickly discover that choice isn’t the problem. Thousands of apartments, villas and waterfront homes compete for attention, each promising an exceptional lifestyle or a sound investment. Yet only a small number genuinely capture the imagination of buyers.

Over the last month, several properties and developments within the Lomond Estates portfolio have consistently attracted more interest than the rest. While they differ enormously in style, location and price, they all share one important characteristic. Each offers something that goes beyond bricks and mortar.

Whether it’s the energy of a world city, the relaxed pace of Mediterranean living or the opportunity to buy into one of Europe’s most exciting emerging destinations, today’s buyers are looking for homes that reflect the lives they want to lead rather than simply the places they want to own.

Here are five of the properties currently generating the greatest interest.

Luštica Bay – The Peaks, Montenegro

A new benchmark for luxury living on the Adriatic

It’s fitting that the most popular listing isn’t a single home at all, but an entire destination.

The Peaks at Luštica Bay represents a different approach to luxury development. Rather than building another collection of holiday homes, the vision has been to create a thriving coastal community centred around Montenegro’s first championship golf course. Apartments, townhouses and villas are carefully positioned across the hillside to maximise spectacular views of the Adriatic while blending naturally into the surrounding landscape.

The attraction extends well beyond the homes themselves. Residents become part of a fully planned community that combines a world-class marina, private beaches, restaurants, cafés, wellness facilities and extensive outdoor recreation. It is somewhere designed for year-round living, where owners can enjoy the atmosphere of a Mediterranean town rather than the seasonal feel of a traditional resort.

For many buyers, Montenegro has become one of Europe’s most compelling alternatives to the established luxury markets. It offers dramatic scenery, a relaxed pace of life and a coastline that still feels wonderfully undiscovered, making developments like The Peaks particularly appealing to those seeking both lifestyle and long-term potential.

Three-Bedroom Apartment, London

Space in one of the world’s great cities

London has never lost its appeal as a global property destination, but buyers have become increasingly selective about what they are looking for. A well-designed three-bedroom apartment offers something many city homes struggle to provide: genuine flexibility.

Whether used as a permanent residence, a family base or a home for professionals who divide their time between countries, the additional space allows owners to adapt the property as their needs change. That versatility has become increasingly valuable as working patterns evolve and buyers place greater emphasis on comfort as well as convenience.

Of course, London itself remains one of the biggest attractions. The combination of international business, world-class education, culture and transport ensures that demand remains consistently strong, making quality homes in the capital a favourite with both domestic and overseas buyers.

Five-Bedroom Villa, Marbella

The Mediterranean lifestyle continues to inspire

Few destinations have reinvented themselves as successfully as Marbella. Once known primarily as a summer playground, it has matured into a sophisticated year-round destination where international families, entrepreneurs and retirees have created a truly cosmopolitan community.

This spacious five-bedroom villa reflects everything buyers admire about the region. Generous accommodation allows families and guests to enjoy the property comfortably, while outdoor living spaces make the most of the area’s exceptional climate throughout much of the year.

Life in Marbella extends far beyond the property itself. Championship golf courses, golden beaches, stylish marinas and an outstanding restaurant scene combine to create a lifestyle that continues to attract buyers from across Europe and beyond. It is this balance between luxury and relaxed living that explains why demand remains consistently high.

Four-Bedroom House, Geneva

International living surrounded by natural beauty

Geneva occupies a unique position among Europe’s great cities. It combines global influence with an enviable quality of life, bringing together international business, diplomacy and finance against the backdrop of one of the continent’s most beautiful landscapes.

A four-bedroom home in this setting appeals to buyers who value both practicality and permanence. Families appreciate the generous accommodation, while professionals relocating to Switzerland recognise the long-term advantages of owning a property that offers flexibility for changing lifestyles and working arrangements.

Beyond the property itself lies a city that effortlessly combines lakeside tranquillity with excellent schools, efficient transport and easy access to the Alps. It is a destination where buyers rarely feel they have compromised between career opportunities and personal wellbeing.

Two-Bedroom Apartment, Tivat, Montenegro

An emerging destination with growing international appeal

Montenegro appears twice in our most viewed properties, reflecting the growing attention the country is receiving from international buyers.

Tivat has evolved into one of the Adriatic’s most desirable waterfront destinations, thanks largely to its luxury marina, stylish waterfront and relaxed atmosphere. Unlike some of the Mediterranean’s better-known resorts, it retains a sense of authenticity while offering the high-quality facilities expected by today’s international homeowners.

A well-designed two-bedroom apartment represents an ideal balance for many buyers. It provides ample space for extended stays and visiting guests while remaining easy to manage throughout the year. For those with an interest in sailing or simply enjoying life by the water, it offers an attractive combination of convenience, comfort and exceptional surroundings.

As more buyers discover Montenegro’s coastline, destinations such as Tivat continue to establish themselves as serious alternatives to the traditional markets of Spain, France and Italy.

What These Properties Have in Common

At first glance, these homes could hardly be more different. They range from contemporary apartments in major international cities to spacious villas and an ambitious new golf community overlooking the Adriatic.

What unites them is not their architecture or even their location, but the lifestyles they represent.

Modern buyers are no longer searching solely for an address. They are looking for flexibility, wellbeing, experiences and communities that enhance the way they live. They want homes that support family life, remote working, travel and recreation while also providing confidence in the long-term value of their investment.

That shift is changing the international property market, and it explains why emerging destinations such as Montenegro are attracting increasing attention alongside established favourites like London, Marbella and Geneva.

At Lomond Estates, we believe every international property search should begin with a conversation about lifestyle rather than location. Once we understand how our clients want to live, we can help them identify opportunities across multiple countries, ensuring the property fits their ambitions as well as their budget.

Because the right property is rarely just about where it is. More often, it is about where it can take you.
