Landmark Propety with panoramic sea views - unique

Modernist villa in a prime location with panoramic sea views - your signature property in the Golfe de Saint-Tropez Are you looking for a unique property? A property that exudes class and is known and recognised by everyone? A villa that is characterised by its unique appearance, its cultural significance, its imaginative history? This spacious villa has it all. A unique opportunity to step in the footprints of the Princes of Monaco, the English aristocracy, the leading company L'Oreal,... The property is situated in Sainte Maxime and was built around 1930 by the architect André Barbier-Bouvet (Versailles, 15 October 1893, graduate of the Ecole des beaux-arts in Paris). He was a contemporary of Georges-Henri Pingusson (Latitude43 in St.-Tropez), René Darde (Casino in Ste.Maxime), Jean Prouvé (Villa Seynaeve in Grimaud Beauvallon) and Le Corbusier. The villa was built in the typical modernist style: Concrete, glass and steel; a free floor plan, load-bearing structures, a flat roof, white walls, ... it is perfectly orientated towards the sea and the magnificent view. The property was designed as a hotel for the Princes of Monaco, the Grimaldis. L'Oréal, the world's leading cosmetics brand, bought the property from the Grimaldis. Lord Hesketh (of the famous Hesketh Racing Fomule 1 team from the United Kingdom) then took possession. In April 2023, the building was declared a heritage site: it has thus earned its star as a ‘Historic Monument'. The villa features a living area of 500 m2 and 12 rooms, including 6 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, all with spacious terraces and magnificent sea views. The staff quarters have a separate entrance and access to the kitchen. The penthouse on the 3rd floor offers an exceptional panoramic view: of the village of Saint-Tropez and across the entire bay to Cap Camarat. The villa is situated on a spacious plot of 4.530 m², landscaped with mature Mediterranean trees and plants, such as the typical Pins Parasol trees, olive trees, oleander,... The equally large swimming pool (18 x 8 metres, heated) and the pool house are centrally located in front of the villa. The property is ideally situated in a strategic and very accessible location: in one of the most sought-after districts of Sainte-Maxime (Sémaphore), just a few hundred metres from the town centre with its shops, restaurants, casino, galleries,... . The marina, the “Bateau Verts” (a fast boat connection between SteMaxime with St. -Tropez and to the entire Gulf) and the white sandy beaches with exclusive beach bars are also only a 5-minute walk away. With its exceptional and eye-catching architecture, this property offers a unique opportunity to make your mark on the Golfe de Saint-Tropez. There are many possible uses for the property: a spacious family villa, a high-end B&B hotel, a corporate and/or events venue... or a combination of all of the above. Either way, this property stands for unforgettable moments - in perfect reflection of the sophisticated atmosphere that characterised the Cote d'Azur during the Golden Age!
