A Mediterranean masterpiece located in one of the most coveted neighbourhoods on the French Riviera

When it comes to the most exclusive French Riviera real estate, certain enclaves along the gilded coast from Menton to Saint-Tropez stand apart from the rest. Prices of elite properties on the “caps” – Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Cap d’Antibes, Cap d’Ail and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin – regularly hit new highs.

Tucked between Monaco and Menton at the eastern end of the Côte d’Azur, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin is perhaps the most discreet of the small peninsulas.

The prestigious Roquebrune-Cap-Martin is a quiet and beautiful residential area. It was one of the most sought-after locations by artists and aristocrats of the Belle Epoque. It remained under the control of the Grimaldi Family of Monaco for over 500 years until the mid-18th-century.

Its most luxurious area, Cap Martin, is an absolutely astonishing peninsula, offering total tranquillity and privacy to a select few elegant villas set within luxuriant vegetation and facing the sea. Its proximity to Nice, Monaco and the Italian border make it a very privileged location. There is a low-key ambience which has been favoured by many among the rich and famous, including the Agnelli family, the Grundigs and the owners of Dolce Gabana.

Exuding elegant sophistication, this magnificent Cap Martin villa offers the opportunity to purchase one of the most exclusive pieces of real estate on the French Riviera. The residence represents the epitome of gracious living. From the grand design to the historical features, this luxurious family home evokes a feeling of refinement, indulgence, elegance and wealth.

The Neo-classic residence, built at the end of the 19th century in a style inspired by the Italian Renaissance, exemplifies premier French Riviera living at its finest. Designed by Hans-Georg Tersling – the most prominent architect on the Riviera during the 19th century and famous for the many wonderful residences he designed for the French and European aristocracy and other elite who resided in the area – this property oozes luxury and sophistication.

The luxury family home offers 450m² of pure opulence, featuring four bedrooms, an impressive reception room opening onto a terrace with views of the grounds and the sea, dining room, kitchen, library, several sitting rooms and a study. The residence also includes staff quarters, garage and parking for several cars.

Preserving the original architectural integrity, the deluxe property has retained many original features such as a majestic staircase, 5-metre ceiling, marble fireplaces and splendid classical decoration. Refined and imposing, the exterior comes with a gorgeous stone façade and a roof of turquoise glazed tiles.

Set in a private domaine, the southwest-facing grounds are equally impressive. The 2,018m² of verdant Mediterranean gardens provide a haven of privacy, offering a wonderful pool and pavilion entertaining area on one of the Côte d’Azur’s most beautiful promontories, just ten minutes from Monte Carlo.

This singular villa is the prime Riviera home for the discerning buyer who seeks the best in life and the most beautiful at hand.
