Mougins, Alpes-Maritimes, France

Description

This exquisite estate, nestled within a sprawling 19.5-hectare property, offers an unparalleled experience for its privileged guests. The jewel in its crown is the 5-hectare private park, accompanied by a glistening swimming pool, charming pool house, a professional tennis court, and a putting and chipping lawn. An ancient olive grove, with over 1000 trees, adds to the idyllic setting with views of the bay of Cannes, Mandelieu, and the Esterel mountain range. The estate is set within 15 hectares of pristine forest, lending an aura of complete privacy and serenity.

The château, steeped in history, was originally built as a monastery by the Isles de Lerins monks. It was later transformed into a luxurious Riviera villa by the celebrated British architect, Sir Edwin Lutyens, in 1912. Today, it has undergone a comprehensive renovation, incorporating cutting-edge amenities like air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a private elevator and security. Its artisanal decor and furniture have been hand sourced by leading interior designers to create a story that truly transcends the decades of the 20th century.

Entertainment spaces abound, featuring three magnificent master suites, along with a host of additional guest and staff quarters. The château sits majestically on the southern half of a hill, encircled by a 5-hectare private park, and a vast expanse of verdant forest, olive groves, and vegetable gardens that afford a cocoon of intimacy and seclusion.

Guests can relax and unwind in various areas throughout the property, including the shade of the plane trees, the sun-soaked spaces between the fountains, the cool embrace of the large cypress, or the warmth of the wood-burning pizza oven.
