L’Odyssée – An Exceptional Contemporary Estate in Saint-Paul de Vence

Just five minutes from the celebrated village of Saint-Paul de Vence, L’Odyssée is a remarkable contemporary estate occupying more than 2.7 hectares of private, south-facing grounds, with open views across the surrounding hills towards the Mediterranean.

Bold, sculptural and entirely individual, the villa takes inspiration from Brutalist architecture, combining imposing geometric forms with stone, concrete and extensive glazing. Despite its scale, the property sits surprisingly discreetly within its natural surroundings. A planted roof follows the contours of the land, while mature Mediterranean pines and established vegetation provide privacy, shade and a wonderful sense of seclusion.

The estate extends to approximately 656 m² of interior space, with a total built footprint approaching 1,000 m². At its heart is an extraordinary reception area of approximately 168 m², where generous volumes and large expanses of glass frame the landscape and create an impressive setting for both everyday living and entertaining.

A substantial independent kitchen of approximately 60 m² is complemented by a professional stainless-steel preparation kitchen, pantry, wine cellar and laundry facilities.

The principal accommodation includes a generous master suite with its own terrace, dressing room and private bathroom facilities, together with further en-suite bedrooms. Two independent apartments, each arranged with a living area and kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, provide excellent accommodation for family, guests or staff.

Additional facilities include a gym and wellness areas, together with a sauna, technical rooms, cellar space and garaging.

The grounds are every bit as distinctive as the house itself. Expansive lawns and landscaped areas give way to mature Mediterranean woodland and century-old pines, creating an unusually private natural setting on this part of the Côte d’Azur. An infinity pool, jacuzzi, ornamental pond and extensive terraces provide numerous areas for relaxing and entertaining, while a heated terrace allows the outdoor spaces to be enjoyed well beyond the summer months.

One of the property's most memorable features is its exceptional roof terrace, enjoying panoramic views across the landscape and towards the Baie des Anges.

The current owner has already undertaken an ambitious transformation of L’Odyssée, with the intention of elevating the property to an exceptional contemporary standard. The project now requires completion, giving its next owner the increasingly rare opportunity to take an architecturally significant residence and determine its final finishes, interiors and landscaping according to their own vision.

Further potential is offered by an existing planning authorisation for an additional villa within the estate. This would now require administrative renewal and verification, but represents an interesting possibility for the creation of a separate residence for family, guests or staff, or potentially a dedicated leisure and wellness space.

The combination is difficult to replicate: 2.7 hectares of private land, striking contemporary architecture, a full southern exposure, sea views, substantial existing accommodation and further development potential, all within five minutes of Saint-Paul de Vence.

Long associated with artists, collectors and the international art world, Saint-Paul de Vence remains one of the Côte d’Azur’s most coveted villages, renowned for its galleries, restaurants, historic streets and exceptional quality of life. Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport is approximately 15 minutes away, while Cannes can be reached in around 40 minutes.

L’Odyssée is not a conventional Riviera villa. It is a property of scale, character and architectural ambition, offering its future owner the opportunity to complete and personalise a genuinely unique private estate on the French Riviera.
