Normandy - Near Dieppe - An exceptional place linked to Impressionism In Normandy, in the Seine-Maritime department (76), near the chalk cliffs of the Pays de Caux, John Taylor is delighted to present for sale an exceptional property: the « Château de Wargemont », an estate considered the last of the great Impressionist sites still in private hands. The 25 acres property, described by the American Mary Cassatt as “a pretty place, an English park, rather isolated”, is strongly associated with the life and work of Pierre-Auguste Renoir, for whom it served as a vacation spot, studio, and meeting place with the most important collectors of his time. It has come down to us in its original 18th- and 19th-century condition. The manor house, listed and classified as a historic monument, houses the only Impressionist decor, by any master, remaining in its original location: the Two Hunts, painted by Renoir directly on the woodwork of the dining room (listed as a historic monument in 1993). A remarkable and human-scale ensemble, typical of the residences of the peers of France in the early 19th century, strongly influenced by exile in England during the post-Revolutionary period. The main 18th-century building, made of brick and flint, was completed with two wings in the early 19th century. One was intended to house the rare books from the library of Philippe-Antoine Merlin de Douai. Most of the rooms are associated with important paintings by Renoir, now exhibited worldwide. Upstairs are several suites and bedrooms. The attic is insulated and partly converted with staff rooms, linen room, and attics. A chapel, a walled vegetable garden with an orangery, a pond and greenhouses, as well as an orchard, form part of the romantic route offered by the 25 acres park with its original layout. It features a large number of rare and centuries-old species: purple beeches, sequoias, oriental plane trees, cedars, etc. Rose bushes known to Renoir during his stays still grow in the estate's vegetable garden and are currently being studied. Renoir spent long summers here, mainly in the 1880s and 1890s, which led to important commissions and some of the artist's most significant works. Scholars consider this period to be the happiest in his career. Mary Cassatt, Monet, Jacques-Émile Blanche, and Caillebotte, among others, were also visitors during the heyday of Impressionism. Patrons and collectors Charles Deudon, Victor Chocquet, and Charles Ephrussi were regulars.

Overlooking the shimmering waters of the Cap d’Antibes coastline, Château de la Vigie stands as one of the Riviera’s most iconic seaside estates. Built in 1912 by architect Lucien Stable, this neo-Gothic masterpiece embodies the grace and grandeur of the Belle Époque — just steps away from the legendary Art Deco Hôtel Belles Rives. A Historic Haven of Art and Inspiration Steeped in history, this extraordinary residence has welcomed some of the 20th century’s most celebrated figures, including Jean Cocteau, Estée Lauder, Mistinguett, Maurice Chevalier and Charlie Chaplin. One of its annexes even served as Pablo Picasso’s studio during the summer of 1924 — where, as legend tells, he sketched directly on the villa’s walls before they were later covered. A Refined Lifestyle Between Sea and Sky Beyond its gates, the château unveils an atmosphere of understated luxury — voluminous interiors, pastel tones, and panoramic sea views that define the Riviera dream. Reception areas: a grand living room with double-sided fireplace, elegant study, formal dining room, and a fully equipped kitchen with pantry — all opening onto expansive sea-view terraces. Bedrooms: two principal suites on the upper floor, a tower salon with two additional bedrooms and bathroom offering breathtaking Mediterranean views, and two further guest rooms at garden level, one with a private terrace. Leisure & wellness: a games lounge with billiard and bar, a winter garden, and a wellness area with a unique underwater view of the pool. Exceptional Exteriors with Direct Sea Access Nestled within lush landscaped gardens, the estate features a heated double infinity pool, fully equipped pool house, summer kitchen, and vast panoramic terraces embracing views from Juan-les-Pins Bay to the Lérins Islands. Guest & staff accommodation: independent studio and two guest apartments, plus a wine cellar. Parking: private area for several vehicles. Sea access: private jetty and boathouse (approx. 8–10 m x 3.5 m). A Rare Jewel of the Cap d’Antibes Combining historic pedigree, architectural distinction, and a privileged seafront position, Château de la Vigie ranks among the most remarkable estates on the French Riviera. A true collector’s property — where art, history and the Mediterranean meet in perfect harmony.

This property is an exceptional residence built in the mid-19th century by a family of remarkable historical merchants of brandy. Descended from a lineage that developed, as early as the 18th century, a recognized know-how in the production and distribution of fine spirits, this family significantly contributed to the international acclaim of its production. It was in this spirit of excellence, rigor, and success that the residence was built, an architectural symbol of prosperity and elegance, created on a long-term culture and the art of living. The building, constructed of stone and crowned with a slate roof, presents harmonious neo-baroque style architecture, characterized by its sculpted cornices, brackets, and perfectly mastered symmetry. In the heart of a vast wooded park of several hectares, planted with century-old trees and natural meadows, the property offers a setting of great tranquility.The living area is approximately 1,500 m². It is spread over three levels and includes twenty-four rooms, of which seventeen are bedrooms and fourteen are bathrooms. The reception rooms on the ground floor, bathed in light, open onto a south-facing terrace and are laid out in a row: lounges, dining room, library, office, as well as an old kitchen transformed into a fitness space.The upper floors house several elegant suites and bedrooms, while the attic contains a recreational area including a private cinema, a game room, and a relaxation lounge. The outbuildings blend harmoniously with the property and enhance its functional and prestigious character. They include two independent guest rooms, a caretaker's house with a garage and private garden, as well as a large multipurpose building dedicated to hosting receptions, seminars, or private events. A heated pool measuring 6 × 12 meters completes this rare environment, where comfort, intimacy, and elegance intermingle. The whole extends over several contiguous hectares. The outbuildings indeed allow for the possibility of creating a winery, installing stills, as well as all the necessary infrastructures for the reception, aging, and production of brandies. It is useful to remember that an exceptional brandy producer does not necessarily need to own a vineyard; many renowned houses rely on purchasing lots from different crus, before ensuring blending, aging, bottling, and marketing under their own label.Thus, the estate offers a unique opportunity to combine historical heritage, technical expertise, and the development of a premium spirits project. With its spacious lounges, attached guest rooms, event building, caretaker's house, extensive park, and heated pool, this property represents a prestigious location and an ideal operational base for the creation of a new high-end spirits house.
