This might be the best seaside property available for sale between Nice and Monaco. A very rare product on the market, this gorgeous “Belle Epoque” villa was built in 1911 and was completely refurbished in 2016 to the highest standard by a well-known Italian architect Alberto Mariotti. This historic estate called “La Rêve d´Azur” used to belong to Voisin brothers – French aviation pioneers and creators of Europe’s first manned aircraft, as well as luxury automobiles.
Built on 3 floors this spectacular 545 m2 home features 4 double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, several dressing rooms, a cozy lounge, a large dining room, a separate fully fitted & equipped Miele kitchen with an island, spacious terraces, and a gym room annexed to the master bedroom. All major living premises enjoy unobstructed views of the sea and Cap Ferrat. The beautiful Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild that belongs to the French government, is right in front of the estate across the bay. The famous Villa Leopolda that used to belong to the king of Belgium and was later purchased for 500 million euros by Mr. Roman Abramovich can be seen on the left. The villa faces East so if you love morning sun, you will be the first person in Villefranche to savor it.
There is an amazing roof terrace with a lounge and a summer kitchen to enjoy the views of the mega yachts and cruise ships entering the bay of Villefranche.
This outstanding property features top quality marble floors and walls, as well as wooden heated floors in the upper bedrooms. A reversible air conditioning system is installed throughout the entire property.
On the semi-basement floor there is a 2 bedroom apartment for staff with a separate entrance, yet connected internally with the main premises. It comes with 2 bedrooms, equipped kitchen and a bathroom. A big laundry and a storage room complete the floor.
