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 is set on a vast wooded plot and offers breathtaking views of the entire bay of Cannes.

The entrance, marked by an original wooden pivot door, opens onto a sculptural spiral staircase, finished in wood and wrought iron, which 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 laundry basin, a shower room with separate toilets, as well as ample storage. This level also houses a garage that can be converted into a spacious suite, and a boiler room.

On the first floor, a hall, illuminated by a skylight, leads to an independent kitchen and a large living room. The latter features a stone fireplace and opens widely onto a continuous balcony and the outdoors. The 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 leads to a dressing area and independent toilets.

The sleeping area consists of three bedrooms: one 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 area and the predominantly flat wooded plot offer several terrace spaces, four parking boxes, and Mediterranean vegetation.

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

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

The villa has retained a large part of its original features but requires renovation work to restore and enhance these remarkable elements. 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 house of 150 m² with independent access and a pool.
