Enjoying panoramic and dominating views of the sea, the village and the Estérel hills, as well as a first class location in the private domaine “Les Hauts de Saint-Paul” a unique and truly remarkable, property that took no less than 25 stone masons 2 years to construct. The renowned architect Michel Juliard designed and built this word class but relaxed style “mas” for its current very much connoisseur owners, 30 years ago, incorporating numerous antique features such as a “Flamboyant Gothic” fireplace and flag-stone flooring recuperated from Macon Abbay. For the outside walls he even went as far as copying the style of stone cutting from the remarkable CVIth Saint Michel chapel in Coursegoules (Merovingian era). Other appreciable appointments and features include a huge bay window that disappears completely into the floor, a lift, an interior pool with Moroccan hammam, Carrare marble bathrooms, a C17th fountain, and a state of the art security system (25 cameras, infra rouge barriers, etc…). Living area : 410 sqm An imposing set of beautifully crafted, wrought iron gates open to a long and elegant, stone-paved drive leading up through lush gardens to the property. Stone stars then invite the visitor to the porch and main entrance. The handsome front door opens almost directly into an attractive, first sitting room / library (32 sqm), the first of 3 main rooms all opening onto the huge terrace and enjoying the unique views to the coast. In the center of this main, south-facing façade is a very comfortable living room (60 sqm) with its famous “descending French window” and monumental fireplace. Then comes the large and fully fitted kitchen (22 sqm) with a huge “La Cornue” cooking range. Also at this level is an attractive study. Upstairs : Initially built with 3 bedrooms, two have now been converted into one spacious master suite with private solarium and a luxurious Portuguese marble bathroom, both rooms enjoying quite spectacular views of the sea. Bedroom suite II (24 sqm) again with solarium and beautiful, marble bathroom. Garden level : the originally built 2 bedrooms at this level have since been modified and are now used as a gym / danse studio and an equipped dressing room. It is of course possible (and easy) to convert them back. Bathroom, machinery / storage-room. Guest house : Fully independent from the main house this very charming “mazet” comprises : on the ground floor : a well proportioned living room (28 sqm) with an antique fireplace and an adjoining, semi-open-plan kitchenette. Upstairs : one large bedroom (21 sqm) with a high, beamed ceiling and an en-suite bathroom. Adjoining the guest house is the fabulous, indoor pool, the room measures 12 x 9 m with a high, beamed ceiling, full-width French windows south, a Moroccan hammam and a shower-room. Linking the two houses is a huge, covered terrace / summer reception. Garage for 4 cars. Cellar (used for home-produced olive oil). Wine cellar. Gardener’s cabin (in stone). Beautiful, landscaped grounds of 5 500 sqm and certainly one of the nicest gardens in the area surround the property and comprise in particular several dozen majestic olive trees (two are 1 000 years old) together with an orange grove on terraces built in the period of Napoléon Bonaparte. The pool area is particularly spectacular with its crafted stone arches surrounding the generously proportioned terrace.
