Menton — Prunkvolle Palastartige Residenz Mit Blick Auf Das Mittelmeer

The NICOLAS STAES group presents you for sale on the heights of Menton, overlooking the Mediterranean and its bay with shades of azure, one of the most unique historical domains of the French Riviera. Just a few minutes from the heart of Menton, about 20 minutes from Monte-Carlo and 35 minutes from Nice International Airport, this property combines heritage, art, architecture and Mediterranean landscapes in a timeless setting.

It is here that Ferdinand Bac, a multi-talented artist - architect, painter, writer and landscaper - imagined for his friend Émile Ladan-Bockairy a home inspired by his travels and his fascination with the Mediterranean. Completed in the 1920s, the whole mixes with remarkable harmony the influences of the Italian Renaissance, Moorish Andalusia and Provencal architecture.

Classified as a Historical Monument in its entirety, the domain forms a true total work of art, where architecture, interior decorations and gardens have been designed as an inseparable whole. Frescoes, mosaics, fountains, colonnades, pergolas, basins and landscape perspectives make up a universe of rare poetry.

In the heart of nearly three hectares of terraced gardens designed by Ferdinand Bac, the property enjoys spectacular panoramas of the sea, Cap-Martin, Monaco and the Alpine reliefs. Cypresses, olive trees, Mediterranean essences, secret stairs and belvederes accompany the walk and unveil, over the prospects, new paintings.

The main residence develops more than 500 m² of living space and has been restored that respects its historical identity, while integrating contemporary comfort with discretion.

The reception areas, generous and richly decorated, include a double reception and several lounges open to the gardens and the Mediterranean. Upstairs there are four suites, including a remarkable main suite of about 120 m², extended by a private terrace facing the sea and completed with dressing rooms as well as bathrooms dressed in marble and mosaics.

The entire property totals 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms or shower rooms, as well as several fully equipped kitchens. A caretaker’s house of about 100 m² and two independent apartments allow you to welcome family, guests or staff in the best conditions.

Outside, a 15-meter heated pool and its pool house integrate naturally into the gardens. Gym, wine cellar and many reception and relaxation spaces complete the services of this domain designed both for preserved privacy and for receiving.

More than a property, Les Colombières is a living testimony to the Mediterranean art of living, a place where every perspective, every fresco and every garden tells the story of Ferdinand Bac and the Riviera of the early twentieth century.

The property is offered with its furniture, objects and works of art, the archives of Ferdinand Bac as well as the equipment and tools dedicated to the maintenance of the gardens, a set advertised as representing a value of about 2 million euros.

An exceptional heritage property, intended for collectors and lovers of art, history and architecture looking for a truly unique domain on the Côte d’Azur.
