Villa for Sale

7 bedroom, 7 bathroom, 1125m² Villa in Nice

Where?: Villefranche-sur-Mer
Featured in: Property For Sale

A famous Art Deco property overlooking the bay.

No doubt Nice's most iconic property this Art Deco villa shares the celebrated hillside at the foot of the Mont Boron with the emblematic Chateau de l'Anglais. Set in private grounds directly above the sea front the property enjoys spectacular views looking directly over the Port and the water towards the Cap d'Antibes. It really feels like being in the front seat at the opera.

The property consists of a main house of exceptional proportions with a reception area that confronts you with the proximity of the sea as soon as you enter the room. The elegant architecture and period details are present throughout the property and have been lovingly preserved, mosaic inlays, wood panelling, wrought iron banisters, ceiling mouldings and even the original lift cabin.

There is a dedicated spa area with a heated infinity pool opening onto lawned gardens and a gymnasium. The main bedroom suite occupies the entire top floor and is fitted with walk-in cupboards and 2 ensuite bathrooms. The dining room is surrounded by vast terraces and served by a fully fitted professional kitchen with a wine cellar and there are 3 further guest suites on the lower levels, a study and fifth bedroom at the entrance level. There is also a separate apartment for a caretaker and a guest villa at the entrance to the grounds that has been divided into 2 independent guest apartments.

The gardens stretch down to sea level with pathways hovering over the shore and landscaped to provide intimate outdoor spaces. The sensational roof terrace on top of the main house, fitted with a barbecue area offers what must be the most spectacular view available in Nice.

The property has belonged to various celebrities in the past including everyone's favourite James Bond, Sean Connery.

It would also be possible to purchase a third neighbouring 160sqm villa with 3 bed and bathrooms and a superb circular swimming pool suspended over the waterline.

The sea is at the foot of the property, the Port with it's shops and restaurants is within walking distance and Cap Ferrat and Monaco are within easy reach. The airport is just on the other end of the Promenade, in fact you can see the property as you exit the plane.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity !
