Waterfront estate in Sainte-Maxime

One of the finest properties on the Côte d’Azur on the Pointe des Sardinaux, at Sainte-Maxime. This ensemble of three houses stands quite literally at the water’s edge and enjoys access to a sandy beach dotted with small coves and rocks. The panoramic sea view is breathtaking in the truest sense. The villas are set within a one-hectare park shaded by century-old pines and laid out as a wonderful Mediterranean garden, where pools, fountains, a wild path, a footbridge and stone steps come together to compose a dreamlike setting.

The main house offers four suites, three of them very spacious and enjoying exceptional sea views, opening onto a vast adjoining terrace protected by a louvred pergola. The indoor-outdoor living room, with its veranda enclosed by a movable glass wall, offers a 180 degree sea view and allows you to master both climate and light in every season. You will also find a kitchen, a thirteen-seat cinema room, a fully glazed cellar, a fitness area with sensory shower, sauna and hammam, a heated indoor-outdoor pool, a spa, a panoramic lift, a service lift and a fireplace corner on the mezzanine.

The guest house, air conditioned, also enjoys an exceptional sea view. It has its own pool and spa, a kitchen and living room with fireplace and sitting corner, four suites including one with an adjoining children’s room in the eaves, and a small dormitory of four beds for children. Its entirely independent lower ground floor houses four staff bedrooms with their own bathrooms, a laundry and a fitted kitchen. The small guest or teenagers’ house offers two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living and dining room and a large terrace with sea view. A charming studio, converted from a bunker and entirely self-contained, is occupied by the resident caretakers. The estate offers 37 beds in total.

The gardens, quite magical, occupy more than 10,000 sqm on the headland and hold over a hundred remarkable trees within typically Mediterranean planting. They reveal many different corners, with children’s play areas, reading benches hidden in the greenery, small ponds and a stream, a ford, spaces for boules and beach volleyball. The terraces alone represent more than 700 sqm. A games area and boathouse of over 80 sqm opens onto the beach at the water’s edge, and a beach room extends the private jetty. The waterfront setting is ideal for combining your stay with a large yacht moored nearby, reached by tender from the jetty.
