Villa #1 – Domaine Ilex, Cassis

Hidden within the discreet and highly coveted Domaine Ilex, Villa No. 1 is a newly built contemporary residence designed for those seeking privacy, architectural refinement, and an exceptional Mediterranean lifestyle in one of Cassis’ most desirable residential addresses.

Set between the azure waters of the Mediterranean and the monumental limestone cliffs of the Calanques, the villa enjoys a rare natural setting where elegance, serenity, and exclusivity come together. Just minutes from the port, beaches, vineyards, and the timeless charm of Cassis, the property offers a privileged retreat on the edge of the French Riviera.

Built on a landscaped plot of approximately 1,704 sqm, Villa No. 1 offers 222 sqm of refined interior living space arranged over three levels, all connected by a private internal lift. Every line, material, and volume has been carefully considered to create a harmonious dialogue between contemporary architecture and the surrounding Mediterranean landscape.

The main living level opens onto an impressive 89 sqm reception space, bringing together a generous lounge, dining area, and open-plan designer kitchen. Full-height minimalist sliding glass walls blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors, extending the living areas onto broad sun-drenched terraces and the private swimming pool. The result is a bright, fluid, and elegant environment, perfectly suited to both sophisticated entertaining and refined everyday living. This level also includes an elegant entrance hall and a first en-suite bedroom, ideal for guests, family, or staff accommodation.

The upper floor is dedicated entirely to the private quarters. Three beautifully proportioned en-suite bedrooms offer the comfort and privacy of individual suites, enhanced by high-end finishes, natural light, and calm views over the landscaped grounds. A suspended architectural walkway connects the spaces, adding a sense of lightness and sophistication while framing the surrounding greenery.

The lower level has been designed with the same attention to discretion, comfort, and functionality. It includes a spacious private garage, a fully equipped laundry room, and technical areas, ensuring absolute ease of use in daily life.

Villa No. 1 benefits from premium specifications throughout, including large-format porcelain stoneware flooring, solid wood parquet in the bedrooms, bespoke interior joinery, elegant designer bathrooms, fiber optic connectivity, videophone access, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and a high-performance heat pump system providing heating, cooling, and hot water with individual room control.

The outdoor spaces are among the property’s defining features. The Mediterranean garden has been professionally landscaped with century-old olive trees, cypress, holm oaks, and carefully selected indigenous species, all maintained by an automated irrigation system. At the heart of this serene setting, the private reinforced-concrete swimming pool, finished with high-end tiling, creates an atmosphere of understated luxury and complete privacy.

Villa No. 1 at Domaine Ilex is a rare opportunity to acquire a newly built architectural villa in Cassis, combining contemporary elegance, noble materials, modern comfort, and an exceptional natural environment in one of the most exclusive enclaves of the Mediterranean coast.
