Antibes, Cannes, Monaco, Sophia Antipolis, and Valbonne are all nearby, placing the Domaine in an ideal balance between seclusion, nature, and the vibrant Riviera lifestyle. At the heart of the estate stands a magnificent Belle Époque château, built in the 1920s by Léon Bailby, a prominent figure of the French press. Designed by architect Messiah—also known for the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and the Palais Masséna in Nice—the château is a refined testament to the Riviera’s architectural elegance of the era. Offering approximately 1,700 sq.m. of living space, it is set within 40 hectares of wooded parkland in the southern part of the estate, the area closest to the sea. The château features fine stonework, a stately courtyard, multiple rooftops, and impressive towers—combining noble presence with timeless harmony.
