About the Property

An elegant château built in 1881, nestled within a beautifully landscaped park of over 14,000 square meters, located in Marseille, France. This distinguished property, designed by a Dutch shipowner, features a harmonious blend of Venetian-inspired terrazzo floors and refined Art Deco elements. The living space spans over 320 square meters, offering a tranquil retreat with panoramic views over the Bay of Marseille. The interior of the château is characterized by a spacious living room, a separate kitchen, five suites, and a study, all thoughtfully arranged across two levels. An independent studio of approximately 55 square meters provides additional accommodation. A remarkable sweeping staircase, stained-glass windows, and sandblasted glass doors enhance the aesthetic appeal of the residence. A 200 square meter terrace houses three cellars, while a 150 square meter rooftop, accessible by elevator or staircase, offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The property is complemented by a large south-facing swimming pool, seamlessly integrated into the Mediterranean vegetation, and a closed garage with outdoor parking facilities. The château is equipped with a ducted heating and air-conditioning system powered by heat pumps, double glazing, and electric roller shutters throughout. Its privileged setting allows for easy access to shops just five minutes away by car, a bus stop 800 meters away, and hiking trails within a five-minute walk.
