Max Ernst, the German Dadaist and Surrealist painter and sculptor, lived in this property for over ten years with his wife, the American artist Dorothea Tanning. With a floor area of approximately 625 m² on a 1.2-hectare lot, this Provençal-style property incorporates elements inspired by the Italian Renaissance and imposing columns gifted by President Georges Pompidou.
Inside, the ground floor consists of a spacious entryway, a kitchen, a dining room, a living room with a fireplace opening onto a covered terrace, an office, two bedrooms with their own bathrooms, and a 200-square-meter studio to be converted, where Max Ernst loved to work. During a recent renovation, a lovely surprise was even discovered there...
The upper floor, which also has its own separate entrance, features a reception area, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms with toilets.
Outside, the painter has left his mark forever: he personally designed a keyhole-shaped pool so that the moon would be perfectly reflected in the rounded part of the pool during a full moon.
The property is complemented by several terraces, a garage, and a carport.
In addition to its rich history, the property offers other advantages, such as its location: it features panoramic views of the medieval village of Seillans below and the town of Fayence. Furthermore, the sea and Nice Airport are just a few minutes away.
