Chef D'œuvre Architectural De Jacques Couëlle — Castellaras Le Vieux

Overlooking the Mediterranean, nestled between Mougins, Valbonne and Cannes, at the heart of the legendary private estate of Castellaras le Vieux, lies a rare gem — an exceptional villa designed by Jacques Couëlle, the “architect-sculptor” of sensitivity and dreams. Originally conceived for the Aga Khan, this 194 m² residence perfectly embodies the organic and poetic spirit of its creator: an intimate dialogue between architecture and nature.

An Organic Architecture

Carved as if from the rock itself, the house blends harmoniously into its lush surroundings.

Its sensual curves, irregular volumes, and asymmetrical openings reflect Couëlle’s vision — to evoke emotion through material form.
The light-filled living spaces open onto a suspended terrace overlooking the sea and the village of Mougins — a living painting that changes with every hour of the day.

The four bedrooms, including a master suite with private bathroom, each offer an intimate and tranquil atmosphere, enriched with exquisite details: ancient beams, weathered tiles, wrought-iron work by Thevenin — and the master’s own touch, unmistakably present throughout.

An authentic, warm atmosphere where time seems to stand still.

A Place for Connoisseurs

Nestled within 13 hectares of preserved nature, Castellaras le Vieux is a private estate imagined in the 1950s by Jacques Couëlle himself — a village of artists and aesthetes, where each home is unique, circling around a central château now serving as a private club.
Swimming pools, tennis courts, pétanque grounds, garages, concierge service, 24-hour security… everything here breathes serenity, community, and discreet refinement.
Here, every stone tells a story, every vista stirs an emotion. Couëlle’s soul is everywhere — in the play of light and shadow, in the sensuality of form, in the harmony between art and nature. A Mediterranean refuge imbued with beauty, where living becomes an aesthetic experience.
