private residential properties
Explanation:
i.e. where these wealthy sods will actually live ("enjoy themselves") from time to time, when they are not out and about enjoying themselves on their yachts or in posh hotels on tropical islands, as opposed to "biens immobiliers de rapport" which they own but let to have the money to enjoy themselves as twice mentioned above.

There's prob. a better term though.
