An outstanding Domaine, historical and architectural gem
At the top of its private hill, enjoying unobstructed views towards the sea, this sumptuous master residence, unique of its kind, built of freestone in 1920, is where JFK spent summers as a child when his father, Joseph P. Kennedy, served as Ambassador to Great Britain in London from 1938 to 1940. Ideally located between the villages of Valbonne and Mougins, 20 minutes from Cannes and its beaches, the Domaine lays bare as a timeless escape. Its enchanting 44 acres of parkland grant perfect privacy. On each side of the Domaine's remarkable handcrafted wrought iron front gate sit two houses - one of which is dedicated to the caretaker's accommodation. A long private driveway winding the park, sparse with rare species and centuries-old trees, leads to the main courtyard, then to the entrance of the impressive mansion. The entrance hall and the vast corridor give onto the large living room and spacious dining room opening out to a wide terrace and onto the summer dining room. The visit continues towards the library, the study, a magnificent billiard room and a modern kitchen of generous proportions, adjoining the dining room. A monumental red marble staircase leads to the first floor and its four sumptuous suites. The second floor features two master suites, three additional bedrooms. The garden level encompasses several staff rooms with an independent access. Designed by the famous French architect Jacques Couëlle, sublimated by its hundred-year-old trees, its olive grove, French sculpted gardens and ornamental ponds, its 25 m marble swimming pool, its pool house and tennis court, the Domaine's parkland is a jewel of elegance and will enchant day after day the guests of this magical, must-see residence of utmost class.
