NICE – Exceptional sea front property

This exceptional villa has been designed by Jean Nouvel: one of the most highly sought after international architects.

he property blends perfectly into the surrounding countryside, nestling into the cliff side towering above the deep blue sea between Cap Ferrat and the Baie des Anges.

It comes with 8600 m² of flower gardens, terraces and an outdoor pool. The main entrance is via the plant-filled roof. A funicular and staircase run between the two floors of living space: the four suites and living room, which has sublime panoramic views over the immense blue sea. When you enter the grounds, the villa is discreetly hidden underneath plant growth. From the sea, the stainless steel and glass construction boasts clear geometric and horizontal lines on a stone promontory planted up with Mediterranean species.

A 40 metre-long lounge/dining room with huge bay windows featuring continuous, uninterrupted glass panes. The living room has a south-facing terrace of the same size, which only adds to the deep, infinite feeling of ocean and horizon. The living space has three additional alcoves and an outdoor patio (140 m²).

The indoor/outdoor reception area alone has a surface area of more than 140 m². The property has a surface area of 550 m², offering incredibly quality thanks to the flawless tailor-made materials and fittings. Jean Nouvel designed the bathrooms in Corian, which combines beautifully with the Dornbracht fittings.

Originally designed by Gilles Clément and created by François Navarro, the Mediterranean gardens with their intimate corners are reminiscent of the planted-up roof and its grey tones, which match the concrete, metal and stainless steel found elsewhere. Here, harmony reaches new heights.

Outside the living room, the teak terrace boasts an infinity pool, swimming corridor and mineral-shape furniture which contrasts wonderfully with the raspberry colour of the low outdoor furniture by Paola Lenti.
