EXCEPTIONAL PROPERTY – ICONIC HISTORIC ESTATE WITH PANORAMIC MEDITERRANEAN VIEWS

Majestically overlooking the Bay of Menton in an exceptional setting between sea and mountains, this listed historic residence stands among the rarest and most iconic properties on the French Riviera (Monument Historique Classé). A true architectural and garden masterpiece, it offers a unique residential experience where elegance, authenticity and Mediterranean lifestyle come together in perfect harmony.

More than a property, this estate is an invitation into a world where architecture, history and art interact with the timeless beauty of the Mediterranean. Every detail, every perspective and every space has been designed as a homage to Mediterranean culture to create emotion, atmosphere and an extraordinary living experience.

Set within an exceptional landscaped estate of three hectares, the property flourishes in a remarkable natural setting composed of Mediterranean species, 3-century-old olive trees, terraced gardens and areas dedicated to relaxation and contemplation. A true haven of peace, this unique estate offers a rare sense of complete privacy where every viewpoint reveals breathtaking panoramic views over the Mediterranean and the surrounding landscapes.

A private driveway leads to the main residence offering approximately 550 sq m of living space, where character, generous volumes and refinement reveal themselves from the very first moment.

The reception areas have been designed with elegance and sophistication: a grand entrance hall, light-filled salons, music room, majestic library, refined dining room, iconic rotunda and access to a magnificent private fresco-lined patio.

Each room possesses its own identity, combining the charm of historical elements, the nobility of materials and the exceptional artistic character of this residence. The artistic soul of the property is contained in the remarkable frescoes and decoration signed by Ferdinand Bac in the 1920s, giving this estate a truly unique heritage dimension and architectural signature, recognised by its listing as a Historic Monument in 1990.

Generous volumes, perspectives, natural light and refined details create a timeless atmosphere of prestige and elegance.

The interior spaces extend naturally towards exceptional outdoor areas where absolute tranquillity and privacy prevail, offering spectacular views over Menton, Cap Martin and the azure waters of the Mediterranean.

There is also an independent 3-bedroom cottage of 85 m2 with terrace and amazing views, for staff or guests, in the heart of the garden which was laid out by Ferdinand Bac a hundred years ago as a homage to Mediterranean culture.
