CAP MARTIN, LUXURY AT THE WATER’S EDGE

At the gateway to Monaco, on the most private domain on the Côte d’Azur, this property of 800 m2 in grounds of over 2.5 acres, right at the water’s edge, has just been restored, luxuriously, and in excellent taste.

Here, you are “right at home” ! On the private Domaine du Cap Martin, only a few rare personalities live in these historic residences, each one as sumptuous as the next. Last century, crowned heads starting with Empress Eugénie held fabulous receptions here. Listed as “remarkable”, this property was one of the residences of the famous banker, Albert Kahn. Like most of the neighbouring villas, it is an historic building and has just been luxuriously renovated throughout.

The Domain is gated and guarded 24/7 by custodians ensuring constant security.

From the property, the view of Monaco is unimpeded, the blue of the sea omnipresent. One can glimpse the most sumptuous yachts on the Côte d’Azur and, thanks to one of the jetties, enter the Domain by boat. We are just 10 minutes from the Principality of Monaco and its jet-set lifestyle, its casinos, highly-prized restaurants, its fashion district, and legendary spectacles staged at the Monte Carlo Sporting Club.

This noble residence nestles in a wooded park of over 2.5 acres with fragrant, rare plants and trees several centuries old overlooking the Mediterranean. The heated 14-metre pool rubs shoulders with the Deep Blue Sea. A greenhouse and pond refresh the atmosphere along traditionally paved pathways leading to a guest suite so romantic it could well play host to one’s honeymoon ! The property of over 800 m2 benefits from a glass elevator serving all three floors and a monumental staircase featuring a cascade of light fixtures almost 10 metres tall. On the upper floor, a master suite of about 100 m2 offers a private terrace and a bathroom in Carrara marble, like all those in the residence.

The five other spacious bedrooms are shared out between garden level and the upper floors, with a suite tucked away in the tower. The property benefits from a fitness area with a sauna, a home theatre and lock-up garage. A service entrance allows house staff to leave and enter the property in all discretion, and a self-contained apartment is available for their use. The residence is perfectly oriented, facing full south, with the sun setting over Monaco ! n
