About the Property
Rising from 2.4 hectares of preserved grounds, this 1973 Jacques Couëlle signature property is a rare expression of architecture as living sculpture — where built form and landscape dissolve into one another in a way few homes on the French Riviera can claim.
Couëlle, celebrated as the ”architect of happiness,” conceived spaces that reject the straight line in favour of nature’s own language.

Rising from 2.4 hectares of preserved grounds, this 1973 Jacques Couëlle signature property is a rare expression of architecture as living sculpture — where built form and landscape dissolve into one another in a way few homes on the French Riviera can claim.
Couëlle, celebrated as the ”architect of happiness,” conceived spaces that reject the straight line in favour of nature’s own language. Here, that vision is fully realised: organic curves flow into one another, volumes ripple and open, and natural light moves through the interiors throughout the day. No two rooms repeat; every threshold reveals a new perspective. The reception spaces — with their sweeping sculpted ceilings, fibre-optic starlit canopy, and bespoke artisanal finishes — feel less like rooms than like landscapes carved from a single hand.
The living areas unfold effortlessly onto a succession of terraces, patios and shaded loggias, each framing the extraordinary panorama between the Mediterranean and the Estérel mountains. Whether dining beneath a vaulted stone canopy with the bay of Cannes shimmering below, or resting poolside as the horizon stretches toward the Lérins Islands, the property offers a continuous dialogue between interior comfort and the natural theatre beyond.
Accommodation & amenities:
13 en-suite bedrooms, including four independent apartments with private terraces — ideal for family, staff or distinguished guests
A professional kitchen and dedicated laundry facilities
A complete wellness suite: gym, spa, and a spectacular indoor/outdoor swimming pool
Full air conditioning throughout
Eight garages and a private fuel station
Comprehensive on-site infrastructure ensuring complete autonomy
Impeccably maintained and offered in pristine condition, the estate stands in absolute tranquillity, embraced by mature Mediterranean gardens, sculpted topiary and centuries-old cypress. This is more than a residence — it is a singular work of art, an icon of twentieth-century architecture, and one of the most distinctive private estates to ever come to market on the Côte d’Azur.

Price per sqft
Low

Théoule-sur-Mer occupies a privileged position on the western edge of the Côte d’Azur, where the red porphyry cliffs of the Massif de l’Estérel meet the Mediterranean. The commune sits within a protected natural reserve, which has kept development deliberately limited and the coastline largely intact. This scarcity of buildable land defines the area’s character: it is quieter and more discreet than Cannes, twelve kilometres to the south, while remaining firmly within the orbit of the Riviera.
Daily life centres on the small port and the beaches of La Figueirette and Miramar. The Cannes market at Forville and the restaurants of the Croisette are under twenty minutes by car. Théoule’s own waterfront has several low-key restaurants and a casino. Mandelieu-la-Napoule, five minutes away, adds further dining and marina facilities.
Cannes-Mandelieu Airport is approximately fifteen minutes by car and handles private and charter traffic conveniently. Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport, the main regional hub with direct connections to most European capitals and intercontinental routes, is roughly forty minutes east via the A8 autoroute. The Cannes train station connects to Monaco in under an hour and to Marseille in approximately ninety minutes on TGV services.

Elena Agueeva — Ultra-Luxury Real Estate on the French Riviera
Elena Agueeva is a French Riviera luxury real estate broker with 18 years of experience specialising in ultra-prime properties priced above €5 million. Based on the Côte d’Azur, the office advises an international, ultra-high-net-worth clientele on acquisitions and sales across the region’s most sought-after locations — Cannes, Cap d’Antibes, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Mougins, Saint-Tropez, Monaco and the Riviera backcountry. The office specialises in architecturally significant and design-led estates, from waterfront and hillside villas with panoramic Mediterranean views to private backcountry domaines offering exceptional seclusion. Each listing is selected for its architecture, setting, privacy and provenance — including signature works by renowned architects.
What sets the office apart is evidence. Elena Agueeva publishes Riviera Intelligence ([hidden information]) — deed-verified market analytics built from the official French property register (DVF) for every marquee villa market on the coast. Her own sales are published to the same standard: €180.6M in register-documented transactions, including €24,000,000 and €20,000,000 sales in Mougins. For discreet transactions, the office maintains an off-market register — sellers who transact without exposure, and qualified buyers with documented briefs.
Fluent in English, French and Russian, Elena Agueeva serves an international buyer base and provides discreet, fully personalised representation throughout each transaction. As one of France’s most-followed real estate influencers, with a 42,000-strong Instagram audience (@elenaagueeva), the office offers listings a level of qualified global exposure unmatched by traditional channels. Services include confidential off-market sales, buyer representation, and bespoke marketing for unique and high-value properties across the French Riviera.
