Cap D’antibes – Château De La Vigie For Sale

About the Property

Overlooking the shimmering waters of the Cap d’Antibes coastline, Château de la Vigie stands as one of the Riviera’s most iconic seaside estates. Built in 1912 by architect Lucien Stable, this neo-Gothic masterpiece embodies the grace and grandeur of the Belle Époque — just steps away from the legendary Art Deco Hôtel Belles Rives. A Historic Haven of Art and Inspiration Steeped in history, this extraordinary residence has welcomed some of the 20th century’s most celebrated figures, including Jean Cocteau, Estée Lauder, Mistinguett, Maurice Chevalier and Charlie Chaplin. One of its annexes even served as Pablo Picasso’s studio during the summer of 1924 — where, as legend tells, he sketched directly on the villa’s walls before they were later covered. A Refined Lifestyle Between Sea and Sky Beyond its gates, the château unveils an atmosphere of understated luxury — voluminous interiors, pastel tones, and panoramic sea views that define the Riviera dream. Reception areas: a grand living room with double-sided fireplace, elegant study, formal dining room, and a fully equipped kitchen with pantry — all opening onto expansive sea-view terraces. Bedrooms: two principal suites on the upper floor, a tower salon with two additional bedrooms and bathroom offering breathtaking Mediterranean views, and two further guest rooms at garden level, one with a private terrace. Leisure & wellness: a games lounge with billiard and bar, a winter garden, and a wellness area with a unique underwater view of the pool. Exceptional Exteriors with Direct Sea Access Nestled within lush landscaped gardens, the estate features a heated double infinity pool, fully equipped pool house, summer kitchen, and vast panoramic terraces embracing views from Juan-les-Pins Bay to the Lérins Islands. Guest & staff accommodation: independent studio and two guest apartments, plus a wine cellar. Parking: private area for several vehicles. Sea access: private jetty and boathouse (approx. 8–10 m x 3.5 m). A Rare Jewel of the Cap d’Antibes Combining historic pedigree, architectural distinction, and a privileged seafront position, Château de la Vigie ranks among the most remarkable estates on the French Riviera. A true collector’s property — where art, history and the Mediterranean meet in perfect harmony.
