Villa Les Colombières

Classified as a Historic Monument, this exceptional 3.2-hectare estate is the work of Ferdinand Bac. The entire property offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean, the historic center of Menton, and its port, just a few kilometers from the Italian border.

The estate consists of a main villa of 545 m² spread over three levels, with an independent staff apartment, a guest apartment, and a gardener’s house, totaling 746 m² of living space. The whole is set on more than two hectares of terraced gardens.

On the ground floor, a large entrance hall leads to a magnificent reception area. The dining room, the true highlight of the house, offers panoramic views of the gardens, the town of Menton, and Cap-Martin. A bright living room and a music room with a rotunda opening onto the Moorish patio and its basin complete the reception area. These living spaces are richly decorated with spectacular frescoes and stained glass, fireplaces, mirrors, marble shelves, and lintels engraved with Latin inscriptions.

This floor also includes a Venetian-style bedroom with its own bathroom, currently used as an office. A pantry, equipped like a kitchen with a dumbwaiter, completes this level.

A sculptural staircase leads to the bedrooms and suites, each featuring original decor designed by Ferdinand Bac. The main suite, themed on the Mediterranean night, measures 30 m² and includes a bathroom with a bathtub, shower, and two sinks. This suite offers views of the Italian border and Menton. An adjoining room, currently used as a dressing room, can serve as an additional bedroom.

The floor includes three other suites. They enjoy open views of the sea and gardens and currently feature storage and contemporary bathrooms.

The garden level opens onto a covered terrace housing a dining room, a summer lounge, and a terrace. It is bordered by a 15-meter-long swimming pool, a later addition created in the spirit of Ferdinand Bac’s designs and supervised by the Chief Architect of Historic Monuments.

The indoor living spaces include a kitchen with a pantry, a family dining room, a gym, and an independent apartment with a living room, kitchen, and two bedrooms with bathrooms. This accommodation connects to the main building and service areas. A cellar, laundry room, and an independent bedroom with bathroom complete this level.

The estate has two outbuildings:
- An independent apartment of 115 m² on the garden level featuring a living room with open kitchen and dining area opening onto a terrace, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a dressing room.
- The gardener’s house of 86 m² includes a double living room, a separate kitchen, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a terrace.

The property includes several garages and parking spaces.

A collection of artworks, furniture, tools, vehicles, and historical archives related to the property is also inventoried and offered separately from the asking price. A detailed file is available upon request.
