Ideally located at the hilltop of ‘La Croix des
Gardes’, only a few minutes away from the port of Cannes and the
Palais des Festivals, the property stands out proudly overlooking
this legendary neighborhood which date back to the early 19th
century.
Built in 1919 by a Swiss industrialist, this 13,000 square foot,
three story home boasts13 bedrooms atop 25 acres of land directly
overlooking the Mediterranean. Greeted by an expansive marble
staircase, the home has a Belle Epoque feel with aFlorentine
facade, pale ocher stucco finish and shuttered French windows.
Most of these beautiful Belle poque properties have been split
up and turned into apartments or are now municipal buildings, said
Laurence Chaleil, chief executive of Sothebys International Realty
in the Cte dAzur. This one of very few that is still available in
its entirety.
The home is being sold empty as all furniture was auctioned
through Sotheby’s this past October.View the complete listing
