Elegant villa with sea views
Co-sole agent: An authentic provençal style Château of exceptional proportions set in a private walled park in the heart of the residential hillside looking south over the village and Villefranche bay.
Originally built in the 1920’s le Petit Château embodies a certain ‘art de vivre’ that the French Riviera was renowned for blending the authentic charm of it’s period architecture with the sophistication of today’s modern comfort.
Covering nearly 600 sqm of living space all of the rooms are of generous sizes, bathed in sunlight and enjoy sensational views across the Villefranche bay to Saint Jean Cap Ferrat. There are four en-suite bedrooms in all, spacious reception and lounge areas, an elegant dining room and a fully fitted kitchen opening onto a garden terrace that’s perfect for lunch or evening dinners with guests.
There is also a charming guest apartment nestling inside one of the stone turrets, and two further apartments for staff accomodation. The château has been fitted with an elevator providing effortless access to all levels.
Outdoors, the surrounding mature gardens, lined with century old pine trees have been beautifully landscaped to provide calm and intimacy. A particularly large swimming pool has been set aside in a private corner of the grounds, surrounded by south facing terra cotta terraces with sea views.
This is a one off opportunity to purchase a historical landmark in a first class location only 20 minutes from Monaco and Nice Cote d’Azur airport with panoramic sea views over the most emblematic bay of the French Riviera .The château has been lovingly maintained, regardless of cost and carefully updated to preserve it’s unique atmosphere.
Whether you are thinking of buying a unique family home or looking for a prime real estate investment with high-end rental potential it is unlikely that there will be another chance to acquire Le Petit Château

Discuss an Offer
If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
To arrange a callback, please email in-confidence@beauxvillages.com
