Built in the 1970s in a sought-after residential area on the heights of Théoule-sur-Mer, this Californian-inspired villa designed by Eugène Lizero unfolds on a vast wooded plot and offers breathtaking views of the entire bay of Cannes.

The entrance, marked by an original pivot door made of wood, opens onto a sculptural spiraled staircase, featuring finishes in wood and wrought iron that incorporates a light fixture at its core. This bright and airy space is also characterized by the red Iranian travertine that adorns its floor.

The ground floor includes a first bedroom overlooking the garden, a laundry room equipped with a washbasin, a shower room with separate toilets, as well as ample storage. This level also houses a garage, convertible into a spacious suite, and a boiler room.

Upstairs, a hall illuminated by a skylight leads to an independent kitchen and a large living room. The latter includes a stone fireplace and opens widely onto a continuous balcony and the outdoors. Large bay windows frame an exceptional panorama: the bay of Cannes, the Southern Alps, and the red rocks of the Estérel.

The independent kitchen also provides access to the terrace, and the hall also connects to a dressing area and independent toilets.

The sleeping area consists of three bedrooms: a suite with a shower room, as well as two additional bedrooms, one of which has direct access to the terrace. These two bedrooms share a bathroom, illuminated by a skylight and clad in travertine.

The outdoor areas and the plot, predominantly flat and wooded, offer several terrace spaces, four parking boxes, and Mediterranean vegetation.

This villa embodies a Mediterranean interpretation of Californian residential architecture from the 1960s, combining bold horizontal lines, visual openings, and continuity between the interior and exterior. Natural light plays a central role: circular skylights, generous bay windows, and vertical and horizontal transparency games rhythm the spaces.

The materials, chosen for their uniqueness, testify to this bold and creative era on the Côte d'Azur marked by modern seaside architecture, as well as by the experiments, in Théoule, of Antti Lovag (bubble houses) or Jacques Couëlle with the Port la Galère estate. The cork walls, the floor in red Iranian travertine, the glass pavers, and the lattice in the façade, along with the stone fireplace and the original wooden pivot door, create a spatial and sensory experience.

The villa has retained many of its original elements but requires work to restore and enhance these remarkable features. A building permit has been obtained for a renovation project of the villa, the creation of a swimming pool, and the construction of a second 150 m² house with independent access and a pool.
